Chapter 490

• Angelina was bored at the base, but the loneliness multiplied the moment Daniel left for his job. There was no Mimi to gossip with and Winters to annoy because they had each gone on their mission as well. Even Victor, who she could bother for more details on Daniel’s past, was away to help the girls in their mission in case things go wrong. To make it worse, Beatrice was on leave, she wanted to spend more time with her family since becoming a grandmother and Angelina was not close to any other staff in the house but her.
• In one word, it was just her and Luca. However, there were just so few things Angelina could discuss with Luca whose loyalty firmly belongs to Daniel. Angelina wanted to keep some secrets to herself considering she and Daniel lived together anyway and were a couple, he knew many things about her – both the ones she told him and the ones he dug up about her. A girl gotta keep some secrets and there were things Daniel shouldn’t know – like how she intended to seek out Elijah.
• Hence, Angelina spent most of the day making herself familiar with the phone and laptop Daniel gifted her, and to be honest, her mind couldn’t go past the fact that both devices were bugged meaning that whatever she even researched on the internet would be known to Daniel. But then beggars couldn’t be choosers and Angelina believed that with time, when she gained his trust, she would get another phone that wouldn’t need his supervision.
