When she called, Barney didn't pick up. Angela assumed he had already gone to bed.
The butler replied promptly, "Miss Thompson, Mr. Lemont is still in the study, seeing a guest."
"A guest? This late? Who could it be?" Angela asked as she headed back to her room to change.
The butler held her things and answered, "A private investigator."
Angela's eyes darkened. "About his sister?"
The butler nodded.
She casually asked about any progress, but the butler admitted he didn't know. Barney had been searching for his sister for many years, though recently the frequency of contacts had clearly increased—there seemed to be a lead.
Since returning to Jayelle City, Angela had thrown herself into her work, determined to prove her capabilities again. But the damage Khloe and Trey had caused her was unforgettable.
Still, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Once her wings were fully grown, when she returned to Goldmont City, she would take back everything Khloe had stolen—and then some.
For now, her only pillar against Khloe was Barney. He harbored feelings for her, but there was no real relationship between them. Angela had been attentive to him these past weeks, and their connection had warmed quickly. Yet, no matter how much she hinted or pushed, Barney hadn't shown any intention of taking things further.
Was it that men don't cherish what they already have, or was Barney deliberately holding back, testing her? Angela couldn't tell. But she wouldn't rush. One day, she would have him openly and completely.
After changing, Angela went straight to the study.
Barney's sister had always been a thorn in his side. Solara Energy's plan to expand a branch in Goldmont City was, in part, motivated by Barney's search for her. Angela had quietly made inquiries, hoping to become his aide in the matter. If she could help him find his sister, marrying him would practically be inevitable.
