Angel was in the living 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjT0YKcSKV
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPex6bRiWFY
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPG5SMnlsP
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZP4aZJUo
"How was what?" Angel asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9fTnGRFdQ
"Getting to know Leo?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ4xose3kT
Angel could have sworn 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrUutvdkeH
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3iAMBFD2v
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUvTNxHnKF
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5QNiPJFqm
"Really?" Amanda looked a760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDEJdIswid
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqYG4290s3
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcneAZWQEu7
have offended you?" 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5jIhZ5pD
"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."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuniskKYf5
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOEJ0Zeujq
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6rP2meNB2
"Awww, you're so 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRVEVRDD2z
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUyfsAnEe
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ967PpN3udj
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7PHUVAvdq
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7p07qTXto
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXPBY6ZcoZ
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvts0dzha
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp5719m7lg
Amanda gave Angel the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtohTRcMmW
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6LHAoR5Ug
to deal with writing. It suits you."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOTxurxDsw
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5vwtFVR1N
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLrgPpWbr
"What is it?" Angel asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zkyVsRLtG
"You seem to be one 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WoR43say0
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZVNn9sJrk
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDo4FoOCtO
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxwtg2554p
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVSbgkIq8
"What?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb91lOkdhzK
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FTxor5pO
Leo who had just come in760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSaDfXqHur
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xueE4XN1H
just at the entrance of the living room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bWfc3adol
"What did you just say 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYhtcRmr1
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo80NnJ493C
the two women on the wheelchairs.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ZpOHWYik
Amanda turned her 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvMQJDVGCf
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2fAthqifB
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGignc3AY
themselves."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Zy90HXtC
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA72qcgrlB
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DQjUFQrJu
Leo couldn't believe 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9cpsyLWY4
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn58MSL66F
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHSmFGRqKL
"Haven't you thought 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePL8wdQKb
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgNePg1JXb
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH5yLk0OKe
job of her own?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvbGH49qlj
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThiMsA5PGF
"You deserve better, my 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqXY8yPfIo
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBJsibjQog
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXdCKzNemk
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxAD0kICMY
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZitYQbKaI
"What makes you so sure?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMMl8PeplL
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mwWAv5Izu
"Mum won't though."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs292q2ICWs
"Does she run the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rmVIPPmDC
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS41uxqaCk
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDlviHbqYm
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5nlhpbyM
Leo knew his grandmother760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcuZ9krMMz
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hAGctwZMd
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIRZcSHLnC
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogZODNPFk7
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcltkxV3Wx
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6nWI7Kp1S
"Don't say any of this 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiidBfiqeA
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ80xDUxjMw
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05EhEphXMa
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cupho77y4
have to convince her a little more than I have to."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED0uUuJ9cN
Angel gulped. It felt 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZhFZgGBpk
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ8uyaHqbu
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkgu1kT9P
Leo made his way out of 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZXIZFyEA
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPHrHn9TwV
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80RGjfAo5f
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6hjxRYLM
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas77lqbSYK
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yF83PnNGZ
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NNyZkvhLT
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEzBu1OCAw
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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7aJxONv6r
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaViO0eKg2n
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ0NIGDGDj
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPc4uNPFxs
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhlpLfxyN
"I'm talking about Kim."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVfkECiZM5
Angel didn't know if it 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYJUSpFBxR
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9poyravI2
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vDOU8viK
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV607mciYv
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZATCqAOtEk
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Tx17zvtN
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOzuB1BrbN
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uqvlmQG20
certain things?760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQUZb2Iw80
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV7vdaU0Z2
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ot2M2ifD6
Angel felt like covering760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvuN2NBpZQ
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nnas15SzO
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RNZo5VxWt
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVw1KMePyx
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L5K4ygCk1
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9r7fgxUgP
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFMsIY3AcQ
Angel felt her heart 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzyWqZcvuD
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mpbSfdUqL
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwIPgQsT8z
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndZykBToUG
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdsluN13kM
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuNbLxVRmr
and invited her to the wedding.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC8kQhpBSf
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS652bWqF0
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxRlQ89kH
Angel looked at Amanda 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iXDK9XLVc
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ294hJDjOpe
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oQPT14AGP
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SDjSGfaeX
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VnJBHOSA
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZhfsIqlCi
saw Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwySbbL0LDd
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWww7DFYCM
"Nothing, dear," said 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp1KFqSVNR
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TTI8kycud
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcogC9lbFF
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK9rYDJFmc
"Have a nice day."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyefqCuKDCM
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubxDcsNMWY
Leo nodded his head in 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KX6SLPh8x
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlInFLKnNS
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn6a4PkYOl
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ99srN9tiR
through the front door.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl90hBWlbS
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanEsWZPiZN
"You're unbelievable," 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hxjoUVd8m
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmIdFNeXpF
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0KCbpM6B0
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsFZeQxyQs
"I'm sorry for that, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHdknbl0BH
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4z8MI528t
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51yzHEw32r
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ax1Lir0X
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HBHfLg34
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG1uTgLpMD
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY1KQ8oxSI
Angel slowly followed 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR28huEfPO
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocUxO0NU5K
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0OLbSwMCl
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrguGBLjqLo
must have felt awful.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9eBj1ZyeL
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIDEOHuSqS
***760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0biN1nXzuT
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wcmdM5bO2
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJxPgGLHLx
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvu3GIs0kr
He760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH1zhvs7bG
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRxzEs5poC
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wCPomDyZZ
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzfsnOVHC
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJJsrgkU3d
Since760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF14tkZzXG
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHozuEvguur
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs7QVMZhDW
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QBMd7j18y
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e0DBRPucI
Who760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1smOWYp2g
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6qeBTPY1t
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5HRDUFBYR
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioVTw89N2T
He760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCtHTChLEq
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp9oFv2q5t
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYaQ7R4zBG
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlHiCP7wn
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnncoqYNIA3
"You've someone here to see you."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKTxnR2IKB
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVJH42rYS
"It's Trina."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFwCgevp2a
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBl0u7p0CV
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87kBpShIYK
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqucifMYFTK
called off.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmlNqW0zcV
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNcEX5pXjp
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuo5WGgew5
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRolUb9OFXS
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZfADkxPE
Trina760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRj1CnBTgl
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gVhTWc9C0
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb67ODHyG6
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFT9bQpqbb
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0a0KVD1K4
fall out sometimes but still get back together.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXLhSUdg7
Now760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKmkUCEqYQ
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzBrvuxdFy
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGPd7nkf9V
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dLZntFJBa
weren't friends.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFnZYzYX5v
While760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFB8V2MTMI
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP6eZIJEwm
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZNpipGbcD
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaiaewdMhX
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4XBVWxGMI
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcM1tdLHaG
One760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z0nSXvJgN
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S2JdcQTuR
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aF0bZWmBm
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNko0la9Zlz
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQaRxv1W5
one.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItUqO9hEKI
Not until he met Angel.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MpYusApZN
Trina760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi0uCZDjZa
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u3Vo1vVKH
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAyaURDMvk
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFZfiZcLr5
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDksH4rmAL
Trina760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbygqkaeuny
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6H3jqbgfp
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZJpXyvt6
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxvDMixeTk
beautiful.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVw2mHkYmv
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc03ms4P4b1
"Then760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ZARhAPva
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRDWgCGXjt
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGh13kLoi
side to try and work things out."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUzj8xYMJ8
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD1YI51ppz
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNQIGR6KP
"Ya, me too."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTzLoPunY9
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSIxtSRRUn
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1zNYPuDyz
"Do you know something, Eric?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWgGBhDwCT
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHrU6JmddS
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKscPOrzIw
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIry2hCVT8y
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dMUFK7lHY
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZSoqCHt11
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaumIyrBn6N
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KiL4dhRtS
eyes with a corky smile on his face.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfhGY9ss15
"Please,760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytAhf3IWTQ
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IcSvMEgjI
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKNHXdURMP
ask him?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDkbiHOuxa
Trina760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1fDKVpW4A
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcQhkWeJPV
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ93T1FpO1w
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaRX66KwS9
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgjg15B5s7
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvicMxa6Sys
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1imQNn4zfu
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuYRTYRorA
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4txc459nJ
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO8tgZS0mX
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXExcmTKbsQ
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdSZBTmBQO
to say next.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMp3oH6fSS
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIUlqJRMms
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ8NPNUjiq
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW0IxOy7pS
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsXx0eyGnl
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9qeWz59Xu
"She's760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bnu9fd469
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUffXL5J3ED
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycZVioHrLY
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkncsAo6SYS
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNLvRTepkq
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kLNA7VGxY
anymore.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxorOW1o3
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneKC8JLDMW
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzuyHwbrvb
Trina760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs1Kj7Opbw
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxATHaSS97S
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiF1n7vrPP
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqMiEynIu8
massage him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nMa76Orwv
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuqgSpyUMm
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiKC0yirX0
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApOPXrH6Nl
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PYV3xS8W
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUJZOmjR1j
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NLLAh6GxD
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X9eU5Ba2I
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwhU3K3JRT
He760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA4pzCNxDv
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50dI8XpZJV
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8dtFBaIu
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FpwYWbSRK
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMNssCqM1d
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m54m6f96g
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XNBlTsmCl
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4EqlRdlFh
"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."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmxd8KXWZQ
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M8NWsSi1U
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtB6fJJKT
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z3j6J4xXP
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD5ceYZF3y
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlbNlpRm3
"Oh,760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcziLN3TKk
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA4F0HwI3B
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e8lgmQbPw
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqiUUF24YZ
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16yW37ijW
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRsfdtNmXV
Trina760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQePLfwtgcP
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2xJxPuYcE
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIcCWirkiv
Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfqGCFJMnL
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioJtMRk3RG
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiu8qVTFpJ
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd9zlMdl0v
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG6XL7RsfE
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEywhVhQ5I
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbO4WV35KG
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32cWbmkWt7
"I was just leaving," said Trina.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv2cM6JQhw
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe7i9vrCpf
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqafxU263yg
With760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY7zOZAFw0
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK27S6FZh2
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5g7r0Qrd4
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrS85zI93k
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTalJrvKakw
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss7FlZk7Yz
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMeWdjncYU
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6EBS4P8Jj
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5nCoXsG5k
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZVh0Xd2a
"Well, you would someday."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lhQtiIoJv
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOS05hmc6T
"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?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WpP8EVxs1
"That would be fine by me."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpi0rCJ6o
"Oh,760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGreegmC1ZJ
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqeHT4vPd
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0BaGJbczq
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6N6XC5Msq
you broke things off with her."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNZ3Yvq3x
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNv9vv2yUD
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqt2MAuan7
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2HFmIycVr
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdcBFsnP0q
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMafeFwWQP
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ800sjdM3t9
Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy02sXKEIEw
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuG2IwyhII
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuM3UVFzAY
her.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJhOjPgBtG
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T8xgCTHAW
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36WxFwVhlY
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn3hbAtf7a
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJ9L0uLhJ
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkryJ7V24X9
thinking about Angel just now."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMpMADdHS8
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO6B04zS1c
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPknDsSZfku
Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiTS2nbPW
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH8M6QAOza
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA2kUuZzIj
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IXuTbLZt
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHIg1cadbG
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixiYiilKCa
"Because,760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3wJUVhD9g
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2nUIgv25G
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbZ1M6CvT2
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iOITPpHzE
in a sense of emergency to release it."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYwZ0hiEVz
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpBJpsUOp
"Of760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN44yh36J9
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwAlJG1Jol
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq8Lk6vTk7
darling, Angel."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvHlBdTKws
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPJYHs1WRG
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1FQW21RG5
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY23mGuBUW
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoRd8q6YuE
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PpQiROnw2
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."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiMXUTIzjs
"Grandma760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡari2Z7eIoF
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡantCzRR7V3
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6G885HHn
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNEkyNl7xP
Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn7YdmRhgS
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz44Epok6G
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDecjcA6d4X
word to anyone.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XAsjKxRpd
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYI3eiaRcA
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbROG0I0zN1
"Yep,760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqRkqILY6K
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnug7KDlY6b
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2UoZ69LA5
"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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSVFJHyq0F
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMD2lnTQ66
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2zMmKiRwO
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s58DSYwGk
Eric760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCTbthNgue
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlgWW98LdQ
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sc1G5CePe
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN2E8oJ6QW
Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60zpxGrAwR
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQugmZOWFP
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2AlzmC0rw
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QNJ3E1Axx
He760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGntPg2uIlP
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvSmaCkVqZ
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyVypEZsJj
desk that he had to look at today.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrSnpYWBYw
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDctOHiK8xu
Leo760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcmt6T95RA
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRlE1HedtX
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1uXe79bsG
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
