Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPvNB5Bafq

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTkA6cFnu
She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVcqgn5YF

Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMjty0gNX

Carly nodded her head, got hold of the straps of her backpack on her laps, and opened the door. She stepped out, swung the bag round her shoulder and closed the door behind her.

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ZS5bRP8F

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRTnOUw847

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben. They actually attended the same university and apparently found themselves working for the same editing company. A smile appeared across his long face as he approached Angel and Tiffany.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwtk2P96B6

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdLcMIc9W
Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother. His shiny brown hair was also smartly combed, so it was difficult not to call him so.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWpvNCbfiJ

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXc4ap3ddo

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9rrk0cZmD

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkjA9ZXM4F

"Of course, Mr. Dean," Valerie stood up from her seat and made her way towards the door, passing Angel. Angel thought she had seen Valerie smile. She wondered what that's about.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgwmbVAHrH

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4vyCrikn

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgmZgCjMp9

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlPQPtmAb

Bill got in the driver's seat while Leo went round the car to get in from the other side.

Angel went on to stare out the window, looking at the buildings along the road. She was deep in thought, thinking of her friends and the editing firm. She wondered what awaited her at the McDonell company. When Leo continue to sip noisily, she wondered how she would ever handle him.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprLyb6u9JI

Before Leo could say something back, his phone in the pocket of his trousers started to ring. He wondered who could be calling him as he retrieved his phone. He looked at the screen. It's Eric.

Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQP4Tytple

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCthUZFb0g
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUrXuJnanu

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyJTtdrglQ
Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEtLD4a2un

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSUB5bxlBF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKlGzf21xf
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNSeRFfQVF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAaP6jGAO

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucrixDoWvl
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZT5Ug7Cjd

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmppT4hD6b
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLa8xJRJz6
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXYPLw0OwK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CmK8uQ0mj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQxdJjFhqw
The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO2Odp4kIn

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9lFwwOrKu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OcqmDedCQ
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbZ9cVSJs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1VbItGzAW

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kVJvrTxuK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAUP96Atm
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRVFJ80kxn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sHaLHgtE1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YTJ2KJdYZ

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGbIvWsk6m
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCpLMDpO1c

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A3R0fzbDk
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vnyCcGVhI
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGLv9lI2xP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmZuXZCXOf
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxVJl6QssK
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7qqM4Aj9V
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Tj1SR7Sx
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtN2bp1TLL
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNkt6XbsW9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde7Py2wSu6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtboGec70g
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FX5HrICwo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85F5i6si4C
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSEGdSMYO
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGu3mgkla4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Rts3bGdN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSYSKIKVbF
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGmYR39Wio
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JkPu6hIid
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3T4BJpSK8
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkLQ3PKPW8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0pPyLmPcN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1WxHveQ4s
Leo turned to look at Angel who soon straightened up. The line had moved a little and the two had to move along with it.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9lU1OGpOY
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTwxuDpmqA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKnThYFDZw

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbHCmjYaEK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKARpiXFwV
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyLwgW7AAi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5NCQAqcGJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdEyvgwKU8
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HwILQBPE
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIsuotXfLg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECXeFrccNY
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy9hZsywL6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAlGkooOiZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3bcJLXcva
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon27BRY4ZV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5aZ7de6WL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FzgCrEwk
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLC1mdoAHN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4mdlJAKCU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3NK7Mtm9N

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4mcErBQan
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsmgJunK4X
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrrJY31IZt
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxEu2oaUex
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt0HOriYwZ

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF5M7Hff0P
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ag8SlQZLw
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcSyvLLk3K
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHfLero7fz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfpXJ7EmJm
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLehtOHLrGK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtvOivyQuv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlGQNQwieX
"Why did you only order four?" he asked.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebNE8IbWl6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtCmGP4aYW
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNJmmCoAW
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wk6tcke6Z
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgisuTOvqyB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKj1nEWvkK
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONTqfUXD1o
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEaBb4um7L
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBYP2jMOcr
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghM76KGt0u

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4BxRppdI5
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGTAW5nM7e

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTL5nLWDJ0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24lPYwww41
Angel knew what Leo meant. She bit her lower lip to keep her mouth shut to avoid saying anything stupid in public.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT346X2wZn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhOJAdIMdG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleF4VqKvGo
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgGFMdEnBw
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoTKdsG5iu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx5r1N3WaO
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8y4S4ydSf

"Leo?" Kim looked just as shocked to see him. She turned to look at Angel beside him. "Angel?" She chuckled a little to hide her shock. "Hi. What are you two doing here?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Glro4D0m
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZDQf9ECYA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLMFwsT09X
"We came to buy some croissants," Angel answered quickly, holding up the bag. "Mr. McDonell asked if we could get him some."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOFuc4LiDE
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDRUVFPJIc
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYYzNyQmkl
"Oh, I see," Kim nodded a bit. "I came here to get a bite to eat. Had to rush quickly to the office, so I didn't get to eat breakfast."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYo0lKOGsy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9lk7XLzkm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvUDVQxfkf
"You should definitely get something here," Angel advised as she stepped out of the café to stand alongside Kim. "They make yummy pastries and delicious coffee."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HVvAEgkzB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1SyWA2s1n
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q4B8qvRuj

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHRF3RfUbX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNbjIsxAj2
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdJdtBCj1n
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSjYuzqAQ3
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWVCBIOXCU
"We better take these while they are still hot," Angel said, quickly turning to Kim. "He's expecting an old friend soon and these croissants have to be there before then."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLbiiQVEoo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZtSvYssXh
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAhFPimXC2

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7V9vHhUhQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiOiV9o4Gn

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZkMnU7rGb
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kl730MH0W
Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mYtK28ESq
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfQl97USDm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iCE4uE6ft

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB6FBlCuah
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmReUVNZN3
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bz8brWpTA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQblu0aCgKF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP2gcYG4li

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vhIjf9DYk
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLbjmwrcCt
Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29HDouwvhc
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkonMVYWlq
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbjAiU7Mf
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN39ESIJzIK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0b5I3yB82
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjSWMQ1nsw
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7MBvYaxt7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6TOGCH2ie
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM1qX2KIpM

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWy60rdZ9g
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxVWUHg0qO

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3K3oz01Eq

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DlThLj4oC
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf782AVOXZt

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRh6awK7Rv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg4gJLW3kE
Bill chuckled as he put the car in reverse and Leo looked out of the window, hoping for the day to end soon. But he had a feeling that his day had only just begun.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqlh0wuICB
