Chapter 48 I Wanna Break up with Randal
Chapter 48 I Wanna Break up with Randal
Nita stood beside Arvin while she gazed at Angela.
Nita was so beautiful. Angela thought she looked ideally matched with Arvin when they stood together.
She felt hurt by this fact. Why did she feel the hurt? Her heart? Angela tried to ignore her true feelings.
'Fine. Let me give it a shot!' she encouraged herself. Angela placed the bag onto Avrin's desk. "Sorry
for staining your shirt, Arvin. I bought one for you. I am so sorry. Now, you can get back to your own
business. Goodbye!"
Then she immediately turned around and left his office without hearing Arvin's reply.
Since Arvin never allowed her to say no, she decided to treat him the same way. Therefore, whether he
liked this shirt or not, he couldn't refuse it!
Arvin didn't take the bag instantly. He just stared blankly at it.
Nita witnessed how his emotion changed. She casually asked him, "Who's that nurse, Arv? Are nurses
nowadays act rude like that? She just bought you a shirt and then left? That's it? Anyway, you wanna
keep this shirt, Arv?"
Arvin didn't say a word. Just when Nita started to feel the embarrassment, Arvin opened his mouth.
"Yes."
Nita peered at Arvin's poker face and she felt so surprised. When she was about to ask him why, Arvin
added, "I will take it back and give it to Uncle Yang."
The Uncle Yang he meant was a gardener of Gu's family.
"Okay. So the shirt, do you need me to do it for you?" Nita opened that bag and saw a tidy pure white
shirt inside it.
After a close look at the brand, she couldn't laugh. Shirts of this brand weren't so easy to buy.
Because these kinds of shirts were made by Tailor Master Michael and his wife by hand.
Due to the huge demands over a little supply, their shirts were always sold out. Because of this, Mr.
Michael taught a few apprentices to work for him.
Every shirt would be labelled with the makers' names, either Michael's or his apprentices'.
Most people could only get the shirts made by the apprentices, including Nita herself. She wanted to
buy one for her dad and Arvin several times, but she always failed.
However, a nurse successfully bought one! 'Who on earth is that nurse? What is her status?'
Just now, she thought it was no waste to throw this cheap shirt.
But now, she couldn't say it since Arvin seemed to recognize this brand as well.
Actually, this shirt couldn't be booked at first, so Angela had to call Daniel to help her get one. When ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
she contacted the shop at first, the shopping guide told her that there were only shirts by Michael's
apprentices left in the shop. Those made by Michael were sold out and they should be booked a few
months in advance next time.
She had to ask Daniel for help. Maybe, he could figure it out. This kind of thing, for Daniel, was not a
big deal. He quickly handled this for Angela. When he got in touch with Mr. Michael, the master tailor
himself personally called the shop employees and informed them to leave some shirts so Angela could
choose one.
The store manager brought a few shirts for her to pick up, and she selected a white shirt.
She knew that Arvin liked to wear black shirts most of the time, but Angela thought men looked better
in white shirts. 'Men who wear white shirts all the time, like my brother and Daniel, are super
handsome!' she said to herself.
Finally, she bought a shirt made by Mr. Michael for Arvin, which cost her an arm and a leg.
Later at 10, Arvin parked his Maserati in his underground parking garage. Before going out of the car,
he stared at the bag in the front passenger seat. He was lost in his thought.
He unconsciously touched his hand, where Angela left a shallow bite mark. Five minutes later, he came
out of the car with the bag in his hand. After going into his own room, he placed it into his closet.

Nancy was home from work. She slightly pushed the door of the next room. "Are you awake, Angela?"
Angela was leaning against the bed, looking at her cell phone. "You're home, Nancy. I haven't slept
yet."
Knowing she wasn't sleeping, Nancy pushed the door open and entered the room. "So? Did Dr. Gu
take it?"
Angela put her cell phone aside, shook her head, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid he's gonna refuse
it, so I put it down and left. Actually, I don't know whether he took it or not."
"Oh? Really?" Nancy pushed her glasses up, not knowing what to say. She just walked towards Angela
and sat in the bed beside her.
The room was quiet. After a while, Angela exclaimed, "I wanna break up with Randal, Nancy."
Nancy grabbed her hands and patted on them. "Oh, dear, so you realize the truth! Finally! So? Do you
notice that Director Gu is much better than Randal now?"
"What are you talking about?" But...
'To think it over, although Arvin wasn't really nice to me, I have to admit that he's better than Randal...
Fine, much better.' Angela thought in her mind.
However, the fact that she broke up with Randal doesn't have anything to do with Arvin.
"This doesn't matter. The point is that you realize the reality now. That's enough. You break up with
Randal tomorrow! I'll go with you." Nancy was in full agreement with the idea of Angela dumping
Randal.
Angela nodded. "What am I going to do with these two pearls, Nancy?"
Nancy thought it over and came up with an idea. "Since you're going to break up with Randal, why
don't you make these two pearls into decorations, one for you and the other for Arvin?"
In clear words, these were his-and-hers decorations!
Since Arvin gave the precious pearls to Angela, it was possible that he might have a crush on Angela.
"Arvin and I will both have one? Eh... Not so good." The idea of sharing a thing with Arvin made Angela
felt uneasy.
"It's no big deal. Arvin gave such expensive pearls to you. Each of you holds one so you won't feel so
uncomfortable. Am I right?" As far as she knew, accepting the two pearls she received from Arvin had
made her uncomfortable.
Angela considered Nancy's words. "Fine. I'll go and ask my older brother to find a carver for me
tomorrow. However, what kind of the design should I use?"
"Oh, my dear Angela! It's not the design, but the meaning behind it is what really counts. Who gave it to
you? Who are you gonna give it to?"
"... But why should I give this to Arvin?" It seemed like something a couple would do. However, Randal
and Angela weren't lovers.
Nancy was stuck by this question as well. There was something going on between Arvin and Angela,
but technically, they weren't lovers. "He gave these two pearls to you, so it's normal for you to give one
back."
The question was, what kind of relationship did she have with Arvin?
Nancy's words reminded Angela of something. "Friend! Yes!" Basically, Arvin and Angela could count
as friends.
"Okay. It's a good idea!" Finally, Angela had made her decision. It was a great idea that she slammed
her thigh out of relief.
"Now you can go to sleep, Angela. I'll go back to my room now. Good night" Upon seeing that Angela
had already calmed down, Nancy was not worried anymore. She left the room and closed the door.
