Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 421 Kirsten felt a flicker of worry and wanted to follow to check on Angela, but Angela's phone suddenly rang with a call. Seeing an unfamiliar name on the screen, Kirsten didn't hesitate and answered. "Where are you right now?" "Hello, I'm a friend of Angela's. She isn't able to take calls right now. May I ask who's calling?" Barney froze for a moment, surprised. "I'm... her boss." "Oh." Kirsten remembered what Angela had mentioned before-so this was the distinguished CEO who valued her work. "I'm sorry.

Angela had a bit too much to drink and may not be able to call you back for a while." It was late, and even if there were work matters, employees deserved a bit of understanding. Kirsten's words made Barney slightly uneasy. "Drinking? Did something happen to her?" "Well..." Kirsten hesitated, unsure if she was saying too much. But from the tone of his voice, it was clear he genuinely cared about Angela. Now that she was free from Trey and had other men in her life, she really shouldn't reject someone like her boss, right? "Could you send me your location?" Barney asked politely.

Earlier that morning, he had received a call from Angela saying she had some matters to handle and would be returning to Jayelle City alone. Something had felt off, but Barney didn't want to interfere with her private affairs. By coincidence, he had met a friend in Jayelle City and ended up staying an extra night. After finishing his engagement, he figured he'd check in on Angela. If everything was settled, they could still travel back together the next day. An hour later, Angela slumped on the sofa in the private room, half-conscious, when there was a knock at the door.

Kirsten hurried to open it. Outside stood a tall figure, and she couldn't help but pause. The dim lights of the bar did little to hide the man's handsome features and imposing stature. Barney wasn't striking in a flashy way, but he exuded a commanding, masculine presence. Visually, even compared to Trey, he seemed twice as mature and strong. Kirsten had always been drawn to men like this-subtle, magnetic, carrying a quiet wildness beneath the restraint of their suits. "You..." Kirsten began, but the man cut in smoothly.

"I'm Barney, Angela's boss." 1/3 Chapter 421 +25 Bonus His gaze had already found Angela. She looked terrible. Kirsten quickly stepped aside. She had wanted to explain to Angela that Barney was looking for her, but Angela was far too drunk. Since returning from the restroom, Angela had collapsed again and seemed incapable of processing anything Kirsten said. She was too sleepy to even sit up. Kirsten had just gotten her some juice and water to help her sober up. If Barney hadn't come, she had planned to wait until after work to take Angela home for a proper rest.

"Why did she drink so much?" Even though the bottles on the table were cleared, Angela reeked of alcohol. She didn't even have the strength to open her eyes when he approached. "Unhappy. Drowning her sorrows, I guess," Kirsten sighed softly. Barney frowned, sitting down beside her. He called her name a few times. Angela mumbled something indistinct, apparently unaware of who was calling her, and even called out "Trey" instinctively. Kirsten shook her arm gently. "Angela... your boss, Barney, is here." Angela shook her head violently, suddenly sitting up and throwing her arms around Barney.

Barney's body was warm, and instinctively, he tried to push her away as she clung to him. 日 Comments Support Share 2/3 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
