Chapter 945: Chapter 945

Guessing that he had gone out of the base, she turned around and ran toward the main entrance.

When she arrived at the entrance, a teammate happened to walk in. She asked, “Hi there, have you seen Captain Lloyd?”

As luck would have it, it was the young man Richard had summoned just now. The man pointed in a direction. “Captain Lloyd went that way.”

Angela took a look and realized it was the direction of the practice field, so she sprinted there.

At the same time, Ariel had out-flanked the pathway Richard was on and saw his silhouette through the trees. She looked down and pulled her shirt, showing more skin.

As soon as she found the right moment, Ariel ran out from a corner and screamed, “Ah! There’s a snake!”

Right then, Richard made a turn as well. Since they were close, Ariel bumped into him and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. “There’s a snake, Captain Lloyd...”

His face turned cold as he scrunched his eyebrows. “Let go.”

“It’s a real snake-a big one! It’s chasing me!” She was adamant about not letting go. She continued with her act in an attempt to kindle his empathy and protectiveness toward her.

On the other hand, Angela was just around the corner when she heard a woman’s scream. She ran out of the forest and saw two people hugging on the pathway-it was Richard and Ariel.

Stunned, Angela stared at them for a few seconds, but she quickly realized what was happening. Ariel was holding tightly Conto Richard and not letting go. However, his hands were by his side, not touching her.

“Ahem!” Angela made a loud sound.

Just as she made herself known, Richard. pushed Ariel away at the same time. He was so rough that Ariel stumbled backward, lost her balance, and fell on her bottom.

She looked up to see Angela, and anger rose in her. Why is she here? Is she here to mess with me on purpose?

On the other hand, Richard turned around to see Angela sauntering toward them with her arms crossed. A look of panic flashed across his face, and he hoped she did not misunderstand the situation.

“It hurts, Captain Lloyd! Can you pull me up?” The pain caused Ariel to tear up as she pitifully begged him. After walking past Richard, Angela stopped in front of Ariel and extended her hand. “Here, I’ll help you.”

Ariel was still in a daze from the fall. Seeing that Angela was being nice, she grabbed her hand and waited to be pulled up.

Angela gave a tug for Ariel to support herself with a hand on her knee. Just when Ariel was halfway up, Angela suddenly retracted her hand, letting the woman fall again.

“Argh! You-” Ariel’s face turned red. Angela had played with her and made her fall again.

While feigning ignorance, Angela rubbed her hands and apologized, “I’m sorry. My hands were sweaty, and it slipped.”

“You did it on purpose,” said Ariel angrily.

“Weren’t you trying to seduce my boyfriend as well?” Angela righteously countered.

Not expecting Angela to see through her plan, Ariel refuted with a red face, “What proof do you have? I saw a snake and only asked for his help.”
