Angel was in the living 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5R6b1Ys04
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjrC950jiY
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbuEX2gs0h
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGQEl0exYF
"How was what?" Angel asked.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRZ5MJKyPB
"Getting to know Leo?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2dcr6rV2B
Angel could have sworn 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhWfqYd012
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8ROAP0FUu
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIOUkxkW3E
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwa9z69fn
"Really?" Amanda looked a869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ820AHTXDXq
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSB21zl7Pc
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl1AjAY8w8
have offended you?" 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDztFY2z3Jo
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMb7yDnJtR
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUFVFDQDOa
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMOThOiVLT
"Awww, you're so 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbUr8nREqv
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsxP4QYHCs
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIlff23fcZ
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHwTjk2JH0
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJlxxjfcSB
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUDrK3qcL6
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uE16BfheQ
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF7RlaorHW
Amanda gave Angel the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZGGHgtSoQ
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wZSHJzwS2
to deal with writing. It suits you."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx7xNKBzob
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00cg2GihnI
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHpD4B9ftP
"What is it?" Angel asked.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY55HAzyev3
"You seem to be one 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUmWZXNZR
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPpK47lhF2
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYKeaY1bae
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCkSEWVeWq
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4O6pKmzHp
"What?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvVkri496i
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeIylZJez4
Leo who had just come in869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRkzvPspeZ
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAXZys3d6J
just at the entrance of the living room.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSsigdyjg3
"What did you just say 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYVkseBIGm
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjiHvyHJD
the two women on the wheelchairs.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkPuvr0vmK
Amanda turned her 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4493KhPKHR
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xwXFzLiGd
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHGRpD8mjR
themselves."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jgMhrrGco
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr71wEoqOPD
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8QxUDFqJE
Leo couldn't believe 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyLVN8LHb4
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEiY712U6z
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mtPnKpvwl
"Haven't you thought 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6gZfJ6VOS
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsam60kwVML
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwWNpDVAOB
job of her own?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRL2yCiY3
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15PfHfeWA8
"You deserve better, my 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1bUH9SUG
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwE9HpMyyX
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTgZJdFUDZ
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtvehXSvSR
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGljg2ZqnJf
"What makes you so sure?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEQea9ePSo
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QFhOSKxB
"Mum won't though."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvhDBXtCP
"Does she run the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0R8MDQaZc
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cgy4nT6TZ
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotHIZdSBds
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRNZgmLEL
Leo knew his grandmother869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt69X2IoL9N
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx4RTgnNQK
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxU8jH116c
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHdohibXPV
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFNFbG7z86
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpR7hWctKF
"Don't say any of this 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhlLQ16UxK
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51hQoW9xdI
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5iOpdZBOz
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4elVUxe5S
have to convince her a little more than I have to."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnJROlzyqF
Angel gulped. It felt 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO9g44ZtOo
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt8SlFQJfe
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iPUqryrH6
Leo made his way out of 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLjs4zoWau
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hjFXexYRL
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNNUkfNZYZ
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD9WZFOj7h
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPuk7ifhvX
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2XicmQZZr
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixdBKcpFt9
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNxjGYbASv
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIXErPy7C7
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62Eq7Sid8
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWlQ9adjht
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8uoNs4Yp
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODylOmEvaU
"I'm talking about Kim."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bvHYz9KeB
Angel didn't know if it 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QbxIhSdyl
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru9G8OkFjW
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbVuVGdyxh
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZntszfBQ
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRGWkJWLsu
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts976rLmLc
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZgqL0D3Z
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz7YqTKR0p
certain things?869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb9lQkUaUT
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6JMT0CPlF
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO3mjUEc0Q
Angel felt like covering869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7WxTQGpEq
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCBtkGZXUA
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxnWzj6yNS
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDieSgAg3EB
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1c1Qx3QKA
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeEEHkJQ12
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NCbb2aIfz
Angel felt her heart 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7aaLvBL92
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzPvhLm8vf
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tD6b371uG
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8bHxLZx1d
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlAFWy3prq
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx74s7q5t8
and invited her to the wedding.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG537jl4OTF
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPjYQ7HOQv
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRnLnMb7SR
Angel looked at Amanda 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWc0ZxXetK
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHs0GHZGMu
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8hPB4CfOT
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmh4SMbmOn
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HMP64b5PB
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudE7mXl6C4
saw Leo.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbu44uPMmA
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyvCOd3Vjn
"Nothing, dear," said 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FU7hLDSrm
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjdr3naYgg
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q3PbUS4o3
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0NTf0bfQb
"Have a nice day."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCsoTgdHQJ
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rpuOlGuhD
Leo nodded his head in 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOWBtJH5r3
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdAA2pMoiV
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79TNShayUk
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6TxC35XYJ
through the front door.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYDTSPAoyu
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoNPbXDgoW
"You're unbelievable," 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwkb3OLSHz
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8RcMl7pGf
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHauc6K5BzK
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoGnIBK9Sh
"I'm sorry for that, 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXUlPvqLH2
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFRdPzk6e
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxsSy62T5K
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsz7uRHOPN
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqnkGMouox
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1vhaCJHnh
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASXujryN2K
Angel slowly followed 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3aWlKiGHi
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyF9CdUOTL
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJuXfhy6Id
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzYozjDqHf
must have felt awful.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZX90zADrW
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhwBcDON2Z
***869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnOJq4WMa3
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGYr8lSL66
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYU9uVRPAc
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvPvSkuxdy
He869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDtQcj45p8
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkUpvXt9x
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRYiCrvgBt
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91S5XRK7zh
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJDBerUrXP
Since869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZfUNJPtnq
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcSTvt74N4
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZS66Onccw
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yqFD3MEpx
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrQaFwyMVM
Who869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU53iFZ5Ho
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXxRrbyX8
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTPfa1Tek
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdwzsBkoRy
He869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMflsCyrSsv
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfuaM9XzUZ
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVE8dWt9uP
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfYKcC4Z3
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYIjxRWiQy
"You've someone here to see you."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczZWZpuewk
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsmmWKzI0n
"It's Trina."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQokFeRwLYa
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2m72phbnx
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYXy9KGHjg
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGqJXX7xwg
called off.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUuIAEAm79
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdotCcjXTDQ
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7LCyKaDns
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf151GR2eAz
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhanyYiJvgv
Trina869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56kdqrnFGc
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uwFCHA3q0
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunP2AVEhNW
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r9DvBTyCt
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUbKAgFmuj
fall out sometimes but still get back together.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxDRqskBlT
Now869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLpsQ43JT
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIv0jqUDUl
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6bvgUlLJo
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmIhKhOnu
weren't friends.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXDdfbkGE
While869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFVFcyIxeb
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nyRX1TsoX
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWVCaQB9YD
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTzOUopNDV
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotUDwan5mg
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs48bWweHZD
One869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s1wGkiFJv
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ7Iarq8Pe
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL8Gi8aaS4
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKj9Uic75h
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPvAsaZjVp
one.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4KG9hqJGS
Not until he met Angel.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAkkwL8cHw
Trina869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9rqzJNvQt
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutzm119LZG
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx0oaGqlYK
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZz6eCbxM5
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yYPFw8bbg
Trina869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9LI3CYf24
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCIYMrCzzJ
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Np0T7XCt
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLTr99plj1
beautiful.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZgPvqHX0U
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpZjIeqX6
"Then869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg2eocKh98
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMmDcnNTl3
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIRO5R6jF8
side to try and work things out."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WpbPkKiUK
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyKvsNxYAU
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr0wAqYw88
"Ya, me too."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOH5JfjPIV
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SaPQlf1Ol
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LbuY3jkit
"Do you know something, Eric?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58TS8RRQcE
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOCaCUwAeq
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzortKwDs
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t4Q5VCLAn
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtg6HBDvKm
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH7YEdEP7v
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjgbEqa2J7
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3C9YfFXqW
eyes with a corky smile on his face.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OOW5Kq74Z
"Please,869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWQXV0KHGv
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRw1SDzQ6k
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVC0UeAxAM
ask him?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhHPoQ1oDA
Trina869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg3xZnD17J
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl7z9rRsHa
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAe5RsFEjJ
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDKDkgkOD
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspSp2ADM9
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaDo63i3jh
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbsWKAo2v0
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzT2eZYge9
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu9h5DPYuk
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbiwRbVDNi
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWjU5Mat3d
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuGUHTY5jE
to say next.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdtWai5iGl
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXz7Jp4qfO
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdBAb2Kc6z
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEHo6LNhzC
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nJVuIWksx
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHYbs9dSkk
"She's869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGFIEisWPs
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi1u8rAea3
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWNnIGyo8
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL5XVe5lJq
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjobjA7jyXI
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fykoqjyjy
anymore.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGawpoSZnFG
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMgXTccpYe
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu76v1qKu3
Trina869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6wZN0j2qV
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzmvAXVrn1
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHU0pKI4DW
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsyJyOByNG
massage him.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm5yDGPkQL
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3RFbtl2mc
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP9bcU2wjJ
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0i1HbRIF
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ85YpMi1ew
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP3hvhrrT3
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBFa8F7lkI
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcPFmK1RMg
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag4q1MmKHY
He869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU432zbIqo
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45JkhOd4s
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5exFkQBO5Q
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40W91lhl9i
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjCGGeNXCs
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4lMRrVAW
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK6gqYQLAS
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DHRasCs9d
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAghCC33Vw
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnieoocUs
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffEi3GTIBu
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBVfMyrsWx
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMaIxWM1h8
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6pZCc4Z1Z
"Oh,869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3smauDNbh3
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7aJPRv4Aa
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzftLzBnQiG
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh4ckOo3WU
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DKcAR95jE
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStsTqjoGlw
Trina869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNz1JBDSSf
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyuvnBt8Xb
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYjT3Dugnj
Leo869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOb5PIrKSW
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigXuYgicnn
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2GrmiLHHM
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZteMaiBb7u
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjNTOM7aSf
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eKslpPLnJ
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HHsHuJtEq
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6AlGNZoKc
"I was just leaving," said Trina.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeExTZCWz1y
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRAfHf3BHU
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO2bALpHAY
With869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqnv1wmoAo
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ybEjYOpg
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBloQC8VAW
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3px7QQKO3
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9VzP38wvx
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTWHp61dSb
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJn5FHJNH2
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IGV36EUWU
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6am5NjeJc
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnh9CQqtjm
"Well, you would someday."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsvVmAy9dR
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeDKkpU8SY
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HP6x8RPpP
"That would be fine by me."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0KoeNYiHR
"Oh,869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxWxRxYKPW
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpq5tSaED
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYHE4230ea
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVG67pLW0l
you broke things off with her."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsEFIPJ3wq
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlChTnOjm
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRrygPySmb
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fl9mqn7Ti
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrDB7fRweM
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X0dlpCyrv
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf0fzBqwXU
Leo869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAim70akBu
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5cxPgUcNH
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSYr8uS9E
her.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAJYVGo32Q
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQSVnHerP
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCItcL2me0
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJg134NIUk
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPjMbhNK2W
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqRrfbyCpT
thinking about Angel just now."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv4ZncqIvI
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB6xlHBLDj
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBUGwF1bdy
Leo869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUaGxl556A
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq7yGIZczp
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymfcUjOe8b
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5h8C6buER
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4zENgWTD
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSd6X4NNBn
"Because,869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9NXe00OG7
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteTLW9e1qK
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGxJFD9CQU
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0sCM2xmo2
in a sense of emergency to release it."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPd72KLo4g
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXoP1ixomP
"Of869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7slJ7Q3E6S
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I6ZPSFbeW
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaXIu1IWGn
darling, Angel."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oVc91XASq
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZ7EYslKC
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD8jiPkV19
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ElM2gn5f
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqowoFId5f8
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AgdJuWbhR
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfAb9xmEAJ
"Grandma869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kRAgKgdJA
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1yuk58MxN
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwJ1RAJHWt
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyUZIcHPLM
Leo869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡturo4KrlM8
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX9l6iJ6nS
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsua48WOJf
word to anyone.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxXoGfVjN6
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjuS5DrVF2
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiaX1aYXSN
"Yep,869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK22Ddezr5Y
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvtGH5UnRx
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisvdo86Y7E
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSWdZLOxJB
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdOW7Fcnjm
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkPj7xjOjp
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uk4nwpgMJ
Eric869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6knaRNrTC
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqwTd5Efq5
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJTkqrEpUG
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMDD79wK7
Leo869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFv7n8Vsnx
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4LoxIE0Vf
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DUdtCUJ7p
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9U4pSssen
He869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZWAWEDZ1D
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiEorbfUC6
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGAf3n1v6u
desk that he had to look at today.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iWTm0eHzx
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhoezOT6J2
Leo869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFUkEccxEu
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctM7MNQP0q
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zJ0Wxd7HW
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
