Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 941-950

“Whose car is that? Will he really take me back?” Angela grabbed Trevor’s arm as she questioned him.

“I can assure you that he’ll take you back.” Trevor nodded seriously.

“What if he leaves me behind?” Angela frowned.

“If he dares to leave you behind, our team will not let him go, so you don’t have to worry.”

Angela wondered if Trevor and the others were going to help Richard. If so, it would be better for her not to bother them. At that thought, she nodded. “All right, I’ll just go back in that person’s car later. You guys should get going.”

“Okay. Go and look for him after we leave, all right?” After Trevor finished speaking, he glanced at Sean and the others before they pulled Angela to a blind spot. “Wait here for ten minutes before you head over.”

“Why?” Angela was confused. Why were they hiding her here?

“Anyway, just listen to us.” Jared smiled cheekily.

Then, they got in the car, and after driving away, they quickly retreated into a forest but did not leave and remained hidden.

In the car, Willy frowned and said, “Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Richard will beat you up?”

“I’m not. After all, we’re doing this for their sake! Mr. Richard wouldn’t bear to beat us up.”

“Miss Angela definitely wouldn’t expect that Mr. Richard will be sending her back.”

“Mr. Richard definitely wouldn’t expect us to leave Miss Angela here either.”

Angela’s heart was racing a little. Whose car did Trevor and the others want her to take? After all, the journey back was a two-hour drive through the mountains, and it would be troublesome if they didn’t get along well.

She glanced at the watch on her wrist, then looked back at Trevor and their car, only to see that they were gone. Seeing that ten minutes had gone by, she plucked up the courage to come out from the corner, then walked in the direction of the black SUV.

At this moment, the man, who was sitting in the back seat and busy working, noticed with his sharp senses that someone was approaching his car. As soon as he looked up, Richard’s eyes widened slightly. Why is Angela here?

The person walking toward his car was Angela, and she didn’t seem to know that he was inside at all. Twisting her hands with a slightly nervous expression, she slowly walked to the car window. Then, she reached out and knocked on the door.

Richard looked through the car window. Because the windows were covered with a tinted film, the inside of the car couldn’t be seen clearly from the outside, and only the people inside could see the people outside clearly.

Puzzled, Angela started to wonder if anyone was in the car. If it was empty, wouldn’t she be doomed? Would she have to spend the night in the small town? Trevor and the others wouldn’t trick her like this, right?

When she knocked on the door again, there was finally movement inside. Someone pressed a button from the inside, and the car window was slowly lowered. A sharp and handsome face caught her off guard as it entered her sight, and the man’s deep and unpredictable eyes stared at her.

Angela retracted her hand in shock as if she had been electrocuted before she took a few steps back.

“You… Why are you here?” It was Richard inside the car?

Angela suddenly understood Trevor and their intentions. At the same time, she realized that this man was not on a mission at all, and he was just in town. Am I the reason why he’s forced to stay and work in town?

“Get in,” Richard said in a low voice.

He had also guessed that this was the work of his subordinates; they had purposely pushed Angela to him.

Angela looked at him resentfully as she turned her small face away and her chest heaved a little. This man had actually lied to her when he was here all along.

Inside the car, Richard was dressed in a black sweater and a black trench coat, emanating an elegant and regal aura.

Angela pursed her red lips and said huffily, “I won’t get in your car.”

“They’ve already gone back. If you don’t get in my car, how are you going back?” Richard asked.

Angela felt bitter. She would rather go back with a stranger than stay in the car with him for a two-hour drive.

“Why don’t you give the car to me, and I’ll drive it back?” Angela asked bravely.

Richard was not going to agree. After all, she didn’t have the ability to handle the steep and dangerous mountain roads.

“No,” he rejected.

Just then, the sky turned overcast; it was clear that it was about to rain soon. Sure enough, rain began drizzling on Angela’s head after a while, causing her to cover her head with her hand. However, the rain came pouring down all of a sudden.

“Hurry up and get in the car,” the man in the car ordered in a low voice. Was she trying to get herself drenched again after she had just recovered from her fever?

Irked by the unreasonable weather, Angela hastily walked to the passenger seat before she opened the door and went inside without sparing the man in the back seat a glance.

It was exceptionally quiet in the car, isolated from the rain outside. Angela’s thoughts were in a complete mess, and all of her senses were trained on the man in the back seat as she listened to the sound of him tapping the keyboard and his small sighs.

“Didn’t you leave on a mission? Why are you still here?” Angela asked angrily.

“I thought you didn’t want to see me?” Richard fixed his gaze on the screen, asking without raising his head.

“I just said we shouldn’t meet. I didn’t mean to drive you out of the base.” Angela wondered if he had spent the past few days in the small town. Where did he sleep? How were his meals? Had he stayed in this car the entire time? At the thought, she turned to cast him a pained glance, but she saw that his shirt was clean and tidy, and he didn’t look like he had been staying in the car.
“Why don’t you give the car to me, and I’ll drive it back?” Angela asked bravely.

Richard didn’t speak, but Angela felt that her mouth was turning a little dry, and she wanted to drink some water. Hence, she had no choice but to ask, “Is there any water in your car?”

Richard reached out and took out a glass in the storage compartment of the car door and handed it to her. When Angela saw that it was his glass, she suddenly stiffened for a few seconds. “I was talking about mineral water.”

At her words, Richard raised his head, his brows furrowed tightly. “I don’t have any.”

Why was she refusing his glass? Didn’t she drink from his glass when she was in his room?

Angela’s face turned a little embarrassed as she shared his thoughts. Last night, when she was in his room, she didn’t have a problem with drinking from his glass, but it was like a slap in the face for her if she was refusing his glass now.

She took out her backpack and dug out her purse from inside before opening it. Except for a bunch of cards, there wasn’t any money left inside. She didn’t have any spare change as well, for she had given the rest of her money to the elderly people earlier.

“Do you have money? Lend me a hundred,” Angela asked the man behind her, reaching out her hand to borrow some money from him.

Richard paused in surprise for a few moments before he retrieved his wallet from his pocket and took out a hundred dollar bill. He then handed it to her.

“I’ll return it to you someday,” Angela replied as she took the money from him.

Richard glanced at her and said indifferently, “You don’t have to.”

“I will. I don’t want to owe you a favor.” Angela really wanted to cut off all ties with him at this moment, and she would settle everything with him.

Richard was so furious that he pushed his tongue against the inside of his cheek and glared at the back of her head irritably. This woman’s behavior always made him angry.

However, Angela took his money and got out of the car in the rain to buy some water. After a while, she came back with a bottle of water and the change. Her bangs got wet, and she combed her long hair away before she unscrewed the cap and drank from the bottle.

Richard could hear the sound of her drinking water, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction that made his body turn hot. He looked up and saw her slender and pale neck that was slightly raised, making him want to turn into a vampire and take a few bites.

Angela could feel that the man behind her was looking at her. After she finished drinking, she turned her head and asked, “When will we leave?”

“When the rain lets up a little,” Richard replied.

“If we don’t leave soon, it’ll turn dark, and the mountain roads will be more difficult to drive through. If you don’t want to drive, let me drive.” Angela was eager to try as she had owned a driver’s license for around five years and was very confident.

“No.” Richard closed his laptop, refusing to allow her to drive.

Angela was rather annoyed. Is this guy doubtful of my driving skills?

Richard got into the driver’s seat from the back seat. Looking wild and attractive in a black trench coat, he oozed masculine charm in every move.

After darting a second look at him, Angela turned to look out the window. She dared not take another look at him, as though she feared she would fall for him if she did so.

Richard handsomely turned the steering wheel with deft hands. Subsequently, the large SUV charged out of the curtain of rain and moved along the road toward the mountains.

It was raining heavily outside the car. As big raindrops pattered heavily against the car window, Angela couldn’t help feeling somewhat restless. It was as if even her breath were full of the man’s smell as she stayed with him in such a cramped space.

At this very moment, she was somewhat afraid of him. She feared that her willpower wasn’t strong enough, that she couldn’t resist his charms, that she would find herself involuntarily attracted to him,
