Vampire Lover

"Angie!" Avril stood up. In contrast to Avril's tall and slender figure, Angie's short stature made her look like a dwarf. "I was trying to be considerate to you, all for the sake of our long friendship. So, I did not expose anything about you having an affair with Jack. Why are you doing this to me now? Why must you provoke me further?"

Angie stared back at Avril's attractive face, and a flash of jealousy appeared in her eyes. It was all because she had been so envious of Avril's good looks, which put Avril under the spotlight. Angie always had to be a side character, second best to Avril. Even the man Angie had first befriended, Jack, had eventually fallen for Avril as well!

"Why must I always be the loser? All I wanted was to prove that fm more attractive than her!" Angie thought.

"This is a new ring Jack bought for me. Isn't it stunning?" Angie proudly showed the diamond ring on her finger. "The ring he bought for you was so ugly and old-fashioned. Let me tell you, Jack threw it away this morning right after you left." Angie continued challenging Avril's limit.

Avril's brows were furrowed in displeasure, and yet, Angie continued to ridicule her. "Oh yes, you don't know it yet, do you? Jack has proposed to me earlier at noon. We'll be having our wedding soon. Be my guest, won't you?"

Angie kept blowing her own trumpet. However, all Avril could feel was how ridiculous the whole situation was. Jack had proposed to Angie right after Avril broke off their engagement. It was preposterous! Finally, Avril realized that Jack did not love her at all.

Avril took in a deep breath, trying to cover up the bitter pain she felt inside. "It's not worth it, grieving over the loss of a jerk like Jack!" she thought.

"Oh really? Congratulations then!" Avril replied. To Angie's surprise, Avril sounded calm, as if she could not care less about what Angie was saying. "How could it be?" Angie frowned.

She was deliberately trying to infuriate Avril. She wanted Avril to lose her temper and embarrass herself. However, Avril seemed so calm and unperturbed, and she could almost see the disdain in Avril's eye. It was completely not what she expected!

"Avril, do you really mean that? Are you not upset at all?" Angie asked.

"Yes, I mean it sincerely. Very sincerely!" Avril let out a sardonic smile. "A b*tch and a b*stard, what a perfect match! The both of you being together has saved many other young men and women from being tormented by you in a relationship. I am so happy because of this. How could I be upset at all?"

"What?!" Angie was outraged. She raised her hand, initiating a hard slap on Avril's pretty little cheek. "I must rip your mouth off!" Angie yelled.

Before she could reach Avril's face, she was stopped by a forceful hand. She heard a man's cold voice saying, "Angie, do not push my limits!"

Angie was stunned. She stared at the hand blocking her, and then looked up towards the man's face. It was a familiar one. "Haider?"

"Why is he here? Did they really get married?"

Angie mustered some strength to escape his grip, while she looked at Avril with disdain, "Hmph! Here I was, thinking how high and mighty you were! However, you really got married to this loser on impulse?"

While holding her pained wrist, she

rolled her eyes at Haider. "Do you know who this guy is? He's a poor, lazy and unambitious man. All he sis's

does is sleep at home, and he

doesn't even go to work! weet

Why would you marry a man like this?" Angie said scornfully to Avril.

Angie

Pretending to be considerate, Angie was actually very delighted deep in her heart. Finally! Avril had married such a useless man. She could no longer compete with Angie. would marry Jack, such a rich, successful young man, who was way better than Haider in all aspects.

Avril glanced at Angie indifferently, "I'm happy with my decision. Does that bother you?"

Angie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Even if you got dumped by your man, you don't have to deprave yourself, do you? Right now, you look as pathetic as a stray dog on the streets! What a pity!"

A hint of displeasure flashed in

Haider's eyesz

immediately, her high heels going 'click-clack' loudly against the floor. She said respectfully, "Mr. Evans, since it's your first day here, would you like me to take you for a tour? I can bring you around so you are familiar with the office."

Lina came across the president here at the lobby, as the administrative director of the company, it was her duty to ensure he could familiarize with the company.

Haider stared deeply into Avril's eyes for a moment, however, she seemed to be pretending not to know him. So, he nodded and walked away to another area of the office. Lina smiled at Avril and rolled her eyes with disdain at Angie before she left.

She never liked Angie and felt that she was insincere and fake.

Angie was dumbstruck, looking at Haider's retreating figure. The expression on her face was one of utter shock.

"Haider... is the new president taking office today?!" She murmured.

This man had never paid for a meal on their previous dates! And yet he was the CEO of a top company in the country?

"Are you kidding me?" Angie thought.

Avril gave Angie a cold stare as she returned to her seat and got back to work.

"This nasty woman actually exposed her horrible true color just like that! Speaking to her made me feel disgusted!" Avril despised her in heart.

Angie stared at Haider's figure while gnashing her teeth.

D*mn it! If she had known that Haider would become the president, she would not have broken up with him!

"No! I must snatch him back from Avril, he must be mine!" Angie thought viciously.
