Annie admired and worshiped Richard from the bottom of her heart since he had a significant presence that drew admiration from those around him. She went to see him alone, her breathing hastened with her hands clasped tightly. “Richard.” She greeted the man before taking a seat in front of him.
Breaking away from his thoughts, he gazed at her, who pursed her lips and turned her eyes away since she didn’t dare to look at him. “You've come.” He returned her greeting while handing her the menu. “Let's order.” “You do it. I'm not particular about my food,” Annie replied shyly.
Richard beckoned the waiter and, after considerable thought, chose four dishes. After placing his order, he poured a cup of tea for her.
She leaped to her feet. “I can do it on my own.” “Ms. Annie, | have something personal to say to you,” he said as courteously as he could.
“Go ahead.” Annie wanted to hear what he had to say as she blinked expectantly at him.
“] want to cancel our engagement,” Richard remarked, his gaze fixed on her.
The cup held by Annie dropped to the table with a loud crash. Fortunately, it only caused a tiny spillage, and the cup remained intact. She trembled, staring at the table because she had not expected him to break off their engagement after inviting her out.

“I'm sorry. | have someone else | like.” Richard frowned. He didn’t know how to tell her politely, so she was bound to be hurt.
“But why didn’t you tellat the dinner party last time? Perhaps you should have said that you already have someone in your heart at that time. | wouldn't have...” Annie made a sorrowful expression with her lips puckered. She had experienced a bitter unrequited love in just three months. Ultimately, their engagement was canceled, which was hard for her to accept.
Things were unpredictable, as usual. His love life was still empty at the last dinner party. However, after barely three months, a woman had wholly captured his heart. “I'm sorry.” He apologized to her.
She raised her head, her eyes reddening, and asked, “What type of woman is she? Is she more talented than | am? Is she better than me?” She couldn't admit she wasn’t as good as the lady Richard adored. Annie also considered herself a good choice as she was a confident and cheerful woman.
He said hushedly, “She's not a woman with many talents, but in my heart, no one can replace her.” Annie reached for the tissues next to her and dabbed her eyes with them as tears slid down her cheek. The waiter arrived and served their food. Richard watched her body tremble without touching the food and sobbing as he attempted to comfort her. “| believe you will meet a man who is better than me.”
