“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o9WJ5zpYU
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKet1z3Axpw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtRUNnSipY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9zYTAGfMZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWujhLNGNU
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuatDhmtROP

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXSnd0BXiW
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh5gSWtQj2
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTauKGvOmU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiwyooPDoK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZLyGXDlBS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduHNea1Mn
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9VQxsBw97
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHR6W8T998
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT93dZGHkNp

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM9Zwnc2Kq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwu4P3fT1a
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpId2QyNMJ
want to say it.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kEhAwn1t
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw26mntDBt6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWu0SnfxCl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaofcm4olzK
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxq3Crrzzv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiSl2yDfZu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJSRRw0R9I
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMN8pzJZL3
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7EtmdYYC8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyCwNeSz7a
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUUYZWVyN6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9dfKExRF
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgBrRSjdMV
because that’s just how she is.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz0TRXIbzP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvn06joyuo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs33sYQpsb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ3A3b0sDN
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2YSQAI5pp
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin5CrtHDop
your fun.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURdPT5WizB

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDxSRyl6Jd
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4IFdPgBeU
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ0ZAT75WE

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjSR8m3Gk
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qp7tootl
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLfFg3WI3u
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX77vk5IVY
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsIgb5SBGI
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Or0FdDXy

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwqo46hXgh

“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNiciJUsAt
thoughts.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnerJ5Qjco

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CFV0DXrAU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYLzzcs0ng
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwePdgHcKY
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT4uKnle3t

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64W3rjMUAT
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBfbP0MbQp
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefRYc9KHya
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEUEUGzujH
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WDxvfV2ya
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xCwXTOO7B
that they should join Angel and the others.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrw9Vqqkca
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QAv9sBoyT

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP6PY3v4TX
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLFC2zqpX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwfmdZCorF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuDWovyKC8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwlucyPcNr
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0MBP2H1Dh
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtgeKWMty1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TgLSt4FDq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PhISYYjBW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfhDEufwl
“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtexO9xj5xC

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNrzyzswo4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq5FqaELAJ
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K4SZQu4aM
a drink right now.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITrWouYlNC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlch8jdEpE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKuY7alJkT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkEcEWo4oq
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqqnECOtTk
their sight.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9PjD9MhnS

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3fgM2OViz
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KtmhDWgaG
they aren’t at their table.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQayQJvK7w9

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLGy6GAYc8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCcA62Yk1Q
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Piuc0Zm8W
the counter.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8FwP44zm4

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqA4XFsOKF
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD9q3LGAiI
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXGScfTEqD
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRHS4wHu9s
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSDisFh3GU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RRf7D4zrf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSW8hoSiM
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9y8MaEQFD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTtOChPAGR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBtOXQOELV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwliaMHfHD
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx59b4A7hOY
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYC2x9pvVJ
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgpg227dnu
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSGUOCBTMR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqzj3m6BOL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3zzyJNgqe
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhpFGYxZSZ
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6blVhMjGd
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5GOmnaU18
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJclfBUDl2Y
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfw0zj1eMA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXN85KNiF9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4JUwgrbpz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUoNOBuwMI
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFpEUfdsdf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh4yg2z9Wb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDdCzUJcgK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmUxmTSpH9
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkXZnha1S2
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiapex61y5M
would speak first.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Y0qaZosM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc0dIHJ70W
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt13ZZCVxS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDnsG5otf
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihYRzkONdW
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfGXX6jVDx
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3odxpPSrG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Si9jm6BOI
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY4nwIfbDM
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFpzlhVWz0
he gets here. I really need to step out.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl7S46eH9s

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oL6UsW54O
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUXhbYzLUt
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbNNi63oTh
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu48kBC7BRG
it was hopeless to do so.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWEFD3h9CA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMyVRzkLG9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNvImh4zCP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS1OKaB2zk
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9PeVvwwpX
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilMkOo0l1e
Walters calls.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNpCmrt9fQ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z5tZH7TaW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8iTSbS2id
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYiTyA0dpc
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbDNbT2nb
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ly6FnbLZJ
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC6RiDLneG
minute.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzVtvRw1BV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMML6QMOKZw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G1EFlRdtb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA8niJ3aCN
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXX2WsTOj4
door.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsN7RN6zmu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CwOQG1cd7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3f3j2euS7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNgEDWJ3Ao
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC4zj154Wj
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKKqnpuuiM
any moment.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8LBMUnRGU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0rbHP3kH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDLUHLbUkk
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ZwjIMj3E
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXDqlGlSUY
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnEpelKqNq
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIZZo0DFN2

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwfZwIfpGw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NhXN5vtEn
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oejJGjIub
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9O1RZhfEW
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmUnBhtCLH
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFkQ9pnapI
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP45tyTlx0o

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1HGZKNewO
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb06Nzf3mZ
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptqtD1ucsO
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7JByZBUy4
next day.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV4uqxyPxA

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9MnsUbV2L
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnlyu8WhgI

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXToDvjMDE5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KmRhLNRg3
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGlu04SrCK
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz8KSJEcqc
Eric and shook her head.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjuItt1tgK

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe8Ad45Jqh
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVea3deVI6
thanked him as Leo sat down.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnR8O1ctFW

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdp6kPRlz
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1XGJl87W
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwx6ntz4e5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA62hwKESc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI5KZJJtHh
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYNGH3bWr
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FkGhSUJjd
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ32hQ5iA9I
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24jMKa5WGO

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgPebKJbBA

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzJEjo4DOU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocmf5xzArv
“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXov7ViKrZ
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWehS9vRBbv
cheese.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Vh7U3c9c

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD73dzker9e
they all burst into laughter.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqrLQLgdOY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu5eBFf7jm
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphHVHZKTDh

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZq8Soahd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwUS23CNt0
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR72QqPNsk
supposed to inherit it, not me.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pQPLzCYyq

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPJP1XWghS
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bU8uT3cgx

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovlWzfJIhZ
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrIudpSkHP

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS9lNuxNiH
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbfdbje9Pf
out his hand to get a nacho.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lhcaEjI2x

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiDh8RLWue
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwtm40x2C4
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yj2LOAVyF
afterwards.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs7AWIbK2w

“I swear, sometimes I feel he’s older for his age,” said Eric as he shook his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQmHYOKTl2
head.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8VnecKRr

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCMTIlB5lN
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghVcX1Hyey
the future.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SrBGkbvEb

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7yQh17XH
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU7imkC94k

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKkPTOfHFM
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0k7dkWVSn
the statement.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKVjANrkr

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0YcaJpgIw
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVvdTi24z3
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGnQXzJIE7
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmnY9QivPR
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6AsdPVKOQ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYsu9OPBeW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyaWT9LCjU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Qt06JRKk
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9heYrBWSRS
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aOXSJ2qDT
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwrFryEivD
elsewhere. What should she do?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLgtmVMRGX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeEcRJayrM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7aXkkysXB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9OFI4I9px
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqpbWwSGqG
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0wWxRAriw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV0rQMiWbc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr5kbQeLdG

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblsAYwY9mv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6dLwCKrcq
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gKHyyZ83K
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0yQn62IzR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkQo2undyD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8UtBAMbR8

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKhfJi4vEI
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWOJiC62Z4
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMq03QNVDZ
necessary.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9akkmRZf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes4jMo6iuV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyklPqCGJkt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbLJMqVjfW
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZNnyJEVOU
know.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYbDXFj7i

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDOFdjN4d0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsvrHfQcLA
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgljMfTJR1
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYlFQpE4cZ

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUdTBDVZ1P

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG0t02YrXJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMkisEtiLL
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKuLENOGgA
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg7tyw0iPk
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIIw3HbFVa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGbsuFj6Kv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEy9uqgvtJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUlMeDZUeJ
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS4ADwAUNZ
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVKplAWgIj
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX9IdRB9XG
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtDyLkXhBG
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIli7gNPBo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqQGcrY5Z0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAPxJ2UiP6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfEcIO4x8K
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmCqvQ89IJ
us.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FhGzuOrBp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqltTvgm4ig
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q2GHrZc6E

“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDj5MWUCXr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsZ3Oqinr6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDC17Yy2Wb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM9WzZRjlE
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHSkk8jD0J

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQWobgQ6Y4
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mljoVvVWa
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkGD2hbjco
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjlZqtuhwQ
counter for a drink.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU1DG49vMg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtInoCBTDv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAPwMLVbTG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4GdffonGV
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFmAhMoPcm
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBjctrhAqI
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOFlsQwWxU
has.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XJBFdsdp2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpkvBVL3Wi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLIgPVl7jz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKdRT2ERDV
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuFeCk6GMT

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0v3IWFI6Y
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8DDWDya8C
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgJywJwsYN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqQCoWXJcy

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0CYl0ykuO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsOYxhfoKG
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxfBsH2CS
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47l0FdqUf8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHGWMt0phi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGE4nc4mMF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNQZuzvzXE
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Guf8zss7
just as jealous as I am,” she said.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqNiP0AZAU

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ryIywz4dp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBEeNmbbhN
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ85RQyFj5
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpOAZbMeqL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaJjK7HZYo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYxqsEqJKz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdisMfHVnF2
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D8l1P7a0w
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjMiU0hpMD

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOa91Emg2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJt0OgbQhu
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmJEvlRPTC
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo30RZIb3xt
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxwClMw8sV
go of him that easily.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWCAU6Fyfc

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzaV4XLxXs
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Xw5lbnm9
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqTUWdxYGT
was going.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fy9yMmIWx

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb26J5Zu1P
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn5HAIDJ9G
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39bcgmhqDv
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XqVrkymzn
isn’t going to do you any good.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YTXQQIcH

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeg32xZaEc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR3d1y6YYa
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfRIm52t5w
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTRPq5SyFk

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmDtRDHaU5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8kdLxylzB
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftVGr3rKHd
your promise after you see this lover of his.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C6SeZkKsO

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnhxsX0FfQ
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE4MNiMngI
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyPovv9pp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkXSx4FcP

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbrXASx7Ko
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR2MPSqW59

us some drinks.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21PSH9MthF

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdewuB1gif9
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4crhPwZk
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc3PrtDlAH
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwTx7BJCWy

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ102ekmUhEV
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9WBUI8ST3
she didn’t even give them a second thought.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NCz0VuQkG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGKTEUPhPl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxfpse91PQ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4KbIb6EXY
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgQNQ4IQv2
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5dwfLufpt
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRObQmrqsx
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOSlxVitVY
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPEu32anec
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzetgtKvTxE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxaZvtCDwr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3anFdzoik8
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQMynkGxjg
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01wFg9tIXt
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsua4Qu8a7
she wasn’t too careful.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdb8Pj2k6h
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzidLqcLe9t
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HavZ7ZWPw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31yFeqPbSH
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3OjgdHVhM
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD83YdwyTf
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3nzxRYint
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDoW4IIhEc
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooXsimMNEF
things.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxioq5CGxoV

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WmnVaBv2F

She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ghG4PBR8
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUic6pyYS

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTk62XJsWT
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MCopZd5Ok
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLN3Q2b06
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGaFHGKnpJ

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWidAnvUP0K

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ704weMJoAg

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYJTNUTACQ
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhJnU7weL

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL719mn8EeV

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlGyXIHOZU
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GTjdC3nCo
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkA7l7WIR0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN52NYUV6Xm
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuutLfCcWw

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZQz3YAYz5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6g2s6MkjZ
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LI49QJffQ

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxUeQ0YRch
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7hQ82Dc6o
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALOEvXKIud
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKpl2JgJjd

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKrcHcvwkh

are considered classy.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAenxLjT3ad

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b042CEPiB
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RAKKrxKyX
they drink,” said Eric.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUreoipUyE

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVFRG9CcdG

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TwwmPTpw
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtkH3AkVB

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5OnZB45HG

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOG03SL7Je
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1F8NV0AiM
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwpl9YTyV
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodYRiLaJe2
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJjELgY02T

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv7OINlOTJ
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw6YyE2tH5
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626vPltUKy
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf9GvMqtVl
sincere.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWJbx41y1H

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS98xTFbtVs

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNpbr5qTKt
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLZAyDh3r7
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5naLQMeWC
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilOtk1Ldnq
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkV5wA4ps9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YbCwGk7Ma
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxownnmS5RJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfWHTzHYnD
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHsj081xaR
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32G3d1jQi2
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfVSKQ1hgv

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL5fsXkfdO

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA8mmxtcBP
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BrAousqp0
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBLDJlqpv
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtHcbEn0RN
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSe8HI5M2
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqHLspDypC
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18gc5K0D02
for it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqMxykgVr

thoughts.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWUuy3vu3d

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81lvsdvZn
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ8DXQQyDH
really needed to take a breather.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphO9GNVImH

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSmL6UUY4I
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIh7NjLMsX
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCafiA9QsUt
though she had woken up from a bad dream.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLUtf3uwtM

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIJEHhN0nB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xe03JTmxu
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhowIQaavB
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWDBTXlEbb
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6BTSwT2uK

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnzZ6XrxPK
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6937PEgXZ
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiMmoePYOS
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuQXywwyiz
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxdauxASw9
herself.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPf6ftWPY9

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V6LaSW0EO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdVnP73LeO
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mrmthfuHL
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYfLP084f7
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJdZBeSQw2
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB2RAQavoK
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJelz8OeTIn
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1CV0DHci1
notice her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQMTOlJXYD

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZFW0g8dG2
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyDvIBWh8j
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4T6Yjbz0T

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzGjnUKY7Y
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBK8a0agh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6TvTQE6n
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jdrj4ZkUI
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lq4Nl8eza
surprise.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJjQQTFkUy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdGSPZoV5p
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavMFMvgHi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qLZaZmOQ0

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlfaFzkHb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi3mW824lS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZrj1L5gAn
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0xOwKSoP
“At the candy store.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW08dfF0kfb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSy6Q1MvOg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7nWFkOlXJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZP75ibAM
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTpdVUbuZS
bumped into that moving shelf.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzo6MgZOTW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta3ht6PQhi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEc1kU90D3
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi0vzSJqFE
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmzOnQD8JU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBNMm0AMD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIhx1Djdnb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LeTZLkCYR
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mm3qOLbjJ
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBpjFytrOM
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBo7VH2bAx
forever.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIgdh1q3ZJ

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJKHjqiJmZ
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl9C35m2eL
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVETmYWjAfK
their conversation ended here.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzNNQ6M99v

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7TheD50Fd

“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fc0Ujg3rz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYj7BloO14
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUYcKfBsU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvI1jdEeUW
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mmjEMeL7h
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz6k9Tbqyp
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiw0VmUEMz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQmqXDuvG9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAK7H3009E
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxhIcA8Goc
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vhqVdsnHV
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rWfrDtpXN
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLx4tdSXPG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRWxLUKn1c
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALBknaJCwE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88c5q3XPMd
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4uYlqrBgX
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn3rL95Qcs
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWOcWzy8aK
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGiHDhOHBW
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAmUhno3QJ
leave, but after she finished her martini.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKgsOfXfZM

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Ydnv5HGW
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1uILjo4w9
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZemB4BTX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbyLT5dupH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoOeKnCsh4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbHCckk7l

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXGa5X2Rc0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk9YMJGJ0D
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKB8yuiwU
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmucPWgZgT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuFIy45rJW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dcK9pGLDE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDgRdGMCgz
“I thought of sitting by the counter and peeping on him,” Kim suggested.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3IIu4saQv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxRHLAuspl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpriL85ybHW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXUTMThJA
“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86RfhyVACA
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pftb22Niq

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnhlMRuUkD

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDJOSokyRL
Kim’s shoulder.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxqK45dgcn
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYUk4nctRK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXy8kfYPgb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeQmfQFep2
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzW9TkNvu2
idea. We should get out while we can.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lRaEuQqsa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7OG8o4f4j
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j474DaRiz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0oISlDtS
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQOHLCsKn6
the conversation. Let’s go.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBPeWd3lMj
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9LIBow6nW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bg6XyOukX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc2B7lqaSQ
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcst4SsqHvT
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHIOWePTSL
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUbM3m4GVs
were able to see Leo’s table.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpyeoNGFzM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhGZVy5Rjm
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKIiQDtQS8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVzXSUzQ56
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjzN9RUyHf
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHTD4thPae
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY6zeC5ocY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIF9hZjc8i
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyrygoEmN
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rBEGRqOQe
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgaNMLbaO1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Em3YBH5tL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BwVBGNdG8
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS6wAHjN66
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1kIWlouuX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv1LvXNgCu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QRLD2A2OX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM5j7IaaMJ
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL90VHmIkP
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHvFlNqsxV
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr0JFIlRdz
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjkhIHxNn
counter in anticipation.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWm0jjCk1E
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsJx1l4Pie
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrHWRPPuwG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL5ep1X9SU
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79L0yjQvmt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcWTdV5s2b
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8dncrm8k3
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ77ye8ffD1
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5I55Va9tr
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgkkwJCITP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Tyuc6S4D
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ufUVxRfLX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPaVjgh674
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzM5wKkXUC
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUArsyX4Nh
head.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv72wiwJdME
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VxEk1h6h
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vSMPr4UL7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaJ6vUzw8v
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOmtlH1xOZ
not at that intimate level.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T9pEpxDm2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3UUsKD8M5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILUV3iabN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAH56RUbSu
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkLEjjhDHy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsctLqFNjoE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK8CHCTI28
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HB99bLAff
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx4zLbL4NJ
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7j3rUv3OY
he was being friendly to me.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8UBRK7Bur
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdskDG5fY6t
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRmD2vdM97
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRHFZ95jEI
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ew425UGD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4XapPILct
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8jaFf1TUo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKpePMXIUW
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz06tuQ7kos
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r9zjMpsMs
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCWvSrittR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbosBHFdjui
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HgYdxU4Hq
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFrEcpji5E
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI541tp0VNg
counter.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjBXuocQVj
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxruQtoEx0W
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGxNDfdWTO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yYhj2OzHo
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhRfEX7bDY
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8m6VeMJYM
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt0Yvpx7c4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMyAYOVUIN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnUCgHKrkK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy98d16016V
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKL9TSboUD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNMpRDCEM2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rV5zU8EXu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcBrMHlmhX
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo0MzwP9Tk
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtUVaxm4iU
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKVGZrizjn
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HZNQ6dMgR
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgNsXUCXZC
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl89fzxTUg
that was different from Carly’s.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNuwGN27SJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExOWuyesnr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyjTvk4Oh2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1UU8oZGC7
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcBln3c3Lq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nA6VeEHGZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFurM2cxeHD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH11HNd2QFD
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3xeZ7wMQo
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqzuyHm95b
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DTVpY9FV8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjMphZIX0V
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RvMW3Oemd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscixm4oWVW
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM5VRHc7qC
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfpPDqxXLg
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenwkwUo15b
doing here?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10cH4vt5O
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOF2JEKhiq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQyNHVfedb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFkkO4zWF8
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuInrggstE
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tqCyekVvj
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfBT6ub30
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsQRs6kLWZ
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOm5WWBlBh
surprised look.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTN3AIN63y
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBDCljltYv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPleONnyfik
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEp5Yl0jvW
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTintWge2j
get her attention, but she thought better of it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9P1rhXzyf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVfhR4nmVa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfoynbdvR7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe8mYZ6HZM
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxxj6bHxPa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBZQjOBYiz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPjpGtw2ZZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ5cqdeen8
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqiQrosoap
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwiaZd50tE
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMt1dz66XD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPW9AeSdQi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yDgqjNewc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzvWf0wlc
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPg0dyOWC
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZOT7ZeuPc
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWIadErjSM
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh64SaOeMU2
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUG8o5UCva
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfggRH52fpG
the table.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyta4f2NjOx
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkKtf62bww
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq3n9I6Jmu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuhd5n4mge
“What was that about?” Eric asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5u98HRUnn
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuIwjceE7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafWPtKwLp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG17hSLrYa
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLodXZj3MnM
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw6BkMFSci
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIxt6is8nM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JN3fQ4xHN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Pl6AXWB6
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFzFF0tZ7m
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGYDnyYGWS
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZxPaNq8C
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK15WwaMCTN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsDaBcaeo2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv0EFDbOBw
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhGT6A0h1k
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YuWn4FAyn
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQvyRXrKeO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI1IaLT3yy
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBca3WSbQ5
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA8hnyZuNh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrlnwNzFQv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIEye1GvRL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW2XHVcFoe
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG4kILoRN6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRwT5yo36B
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9ymUo1C0x
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZuu8bgehe
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdlbJyS3S1
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1HTb5WjFM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12SFE6eez
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatWaBQRCEL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvkNemTo4d
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRlnCuKwTJ
said Marco.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ah07bQVV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc38CB6nax6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaCINi2EXj
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exV77x4fb
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFz02vGRst
more handsome than you.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RziexhjwV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvagfR4oFX7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzmMTXQYJB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtrgzV8MG
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwrEpMiUHg
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSOnWl1cco
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8A8WISed4
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ocsqSDYr
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnOF6XeP92
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrVvfRruRO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuCgyCqpvb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n6rPxHXWA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6dN767x4x
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03JFesTl0G
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB5rEoH8ko
thinking about.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqmt8xmSI1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SVDATNz40

“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowFQKdNTSl
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jj5q6nskh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjOz647TSh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3DaISJhGF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFfvYkWsKE
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2wj4zpGG
brother’s face.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgxtEDzRc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtOzc3I62U
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJJPSiFALb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9gSxKAQa8
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNZ8pMJ4Cv
at Oliver.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cxRMkQch3

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHADwqDn8

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvr31TZaea
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRpxeFleaS
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ftiCpl1p9
heading out too.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnBttxDNi9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQBsLw3QuS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yojpUiD3J
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I8yQvbK7K
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf9i8XxyoY
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlFh0q6r9
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDX5xMw6No

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZZeLqkTwR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX5Fyu2BQz
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcfEWXLXLm
way home.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtJLdudFdP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXw1xhBlr5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpJmcvsVPw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zrJEmqO0C
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1S2qGD50n
here.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jHOUJ20Ie
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb081CTqbWD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbHLkGBl9u
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5762oBL7m
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo2QVzEjbB
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzOuChCj1n
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCuisEwN1V
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmShslrASY
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28dfH34ZR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrklTFjeju7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkMBxQhnvG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyiIvFKFDq
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8oiBBTYpv
little longer.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmfWpdJ2ue
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd0swGwMc8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhwm4qiWx8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVSUyO2imb
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFbzXCzSVX
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPCCtKyf8

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8EiTyCPBo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5jU7Clw8J
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbyPTeZpym
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd0UxuRMRV
get your number, Angel.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsu1yUrLQA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij3VgTbjaL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3tFgWZRik
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvtbh7Unau
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G2R57lSAo
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPtEnmyLF
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wtHJM4rwL
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWLabJ6ftG
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoR2ySlQN9

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnQyI0uzAN
should do this sometime soon.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxQh22AgOC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrexSRTQm5x
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAxQHAPdVc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMpB5SA2ls
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbwvyom1c7
difficult.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPcrsrYgTi

Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuK5qR6mNr
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwFdIagtne
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM9HG6GWEi
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSFL7PEDhS

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG6GcVCJKM
much at all for a while.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBlRMcAahl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8lFYgAl9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZYDmSxt8x

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0FCWO1ULy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXppjISlc9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15TUQBr3MZ
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8BG7Ocon7
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBorKBAWz4z
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudZKaxPuj

“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtCz8G2zl3
home.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1l9hM7BJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsK4vbmbon
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZe4FCDfnw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmPOEH9HEn
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsgWuqSXj1
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonbnoBj1nE
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOf8m5mLGg
Miranda might still be around.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOzfbgfawf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZCvmHJJBa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSubrF5cKW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9LJ6TYEvJ
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrB2jmW01O
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ATVyBH5RF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAugFPBuBpF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06zPeDcMop
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtlGnCmrxH
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu3ZZsX3Lq
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfuvjKOhAk
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6rQbjxCK0
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzq3B6ehg

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBARZ4Pyqbv
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOnNDZG4Js
they started to stand up.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QODjyDM7o

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdV5CYNYd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIEe2yZAkm

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH4Ux5ZW7q
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORi7Qn3avz
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKMag6l5jp
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1lY0zA5HO
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtBtSu9n68
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvNjpVoH7P
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQdyPw9MpN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEKKnaL0Kr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWObSK3NLZ
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL1ejfITne
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIVpPsfjHY
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwpSF7vFjh
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ntQ5KYxM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeipLOBnPQY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaL4yhAJOw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z4jVVll0w
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk57whRaAGr
seen us.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9khnZIqTkm
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuRNL6E0EN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGIr7jfPxL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl4eo03deK
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFyOKFBkQ
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVXzB89KOR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgAqo109x
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtGIUsjfle
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfms5Nazs1O
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK3suW7Khw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLbKfePdVD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSfVjocXhk
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74S2eNmEtw
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMs8eQTwEN
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgsZhQ44q
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLDikv5I6L
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fnRC1T8Td
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6aigJ8m5j
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOK1mJY8Y8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCh15WAHag
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxwOW3f9pS
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mcqms8yTK
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjofrQD5Az
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeIodW5I83
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeVxNhBxo9
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CV8WgHomZ
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x2nDHlPzC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNZZOc6jKb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9x8ayOuGf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGobH6er1y
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNp7BbFPrR
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Em2Kxn2L
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Zgk3hdwS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2OlANlVZ1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOajHShgzy
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7II9koqyw
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BrIocWE7A
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8IsCEqWH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu7WWMGmA0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d8gAvCVcR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbdBrXwXZD
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4jn8o5J46
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAguypcwNJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOKOqFm45x
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZa4BeiBzj
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDzX60SVUG
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohboUDPuh2
this wasn’t over.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo1CEUgrgi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTPzTq8Kbt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6EI5TZiq4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Qs61jIyy
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHxPTU69kL
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeG1a5FVH
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUgzuQ3eep
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr02Bri2w1z
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0zJ3RzJWJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccVEEhaGEY
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRytIlBhH3
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC5CIO9sck
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4LcET61Wn
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvSgHAbDVY
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWQkUnhfit
favors," said Angel.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lr6Kzk728
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbxnppTrAr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmW6iDgc2Q
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz95k6I6wpQ
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbfctyX9zG
they been there?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMuydWfgOW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq3qHmgCJK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72re6mZk3e
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cnuN1JdIs
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s3nc0GYsy
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxnVVh6aSb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc5tQndVLY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEym7vDzz1I
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJrFEBiP7A
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrISFn8RrE
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT0t8c8z0n
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Sl52TLqu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDkkaanKCJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tbTHM9J4A
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjFRVlIWp6
so you've got to be careful from now on."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVph2rWueIu
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N74hLCpKi
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6cwueF84e
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E9YOFz2oH
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw5oKjgrB6
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcr9oNvewz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvWzjFQXHa
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5IYSCOEJW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpammdcU0j
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KzWulzY8u
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7V1K6ZO7
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1AVHcOIwk
night only.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBAzbBEBzd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTMGTTF6cI
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviWobwTuDv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQFT62OxUA
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vqQDsZB5R
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV63EVnY1L
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1R39NZgd9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOPBvdCUe5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrRY7B2YP8
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfZgzMDwaM
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2hIkilbxd
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3twaw1uvDL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTTcIZvxKc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvZqai1H7D
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqEnEgVUtx
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kuxJJuPj1
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax7VlWcudu
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ2tUGiNwv
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuM38nTG0W
want one?”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaUPbmiPfS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTGOPNKHkP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpa4HpLzeC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEaI11y40
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22PCoECnAP
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI96piRfUH
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXopHMJfGD
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNFkzYCmGA
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6tyspVuRQ
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3fgYjwdO
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbR9AGL0pl
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0faJmDyyPA

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICBTHkpSy
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgwHlPFXD4
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeWPoU6ILq
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwciwOKj0tG
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMClLavcpbF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbeyXWDK54
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OSAUwTFJL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t2PIUNZ7g
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BRFzJ5iWD
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrnKB1qlC
relief, it was Walters.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfWCzlSMD5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC2dFalYgJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydj0GzMvlF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJVkqlngP
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMneiVxvV1q
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACMl2CGETP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MVZywWSOE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNBut22WGa
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HsqMujazM
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5NjNPPVC4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNETIfv8i49
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyg6m0j7bG
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUBVeDc25i
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66TABYv39w

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY0fGMxUyY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQvB3PY0el
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kaYsjp6g5
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62iWk56NJW
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXN5SLyBX8
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihbleOEyx8
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR31Pt2UeuH
Lion?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyBbPtk5BH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhBeXTpk9M
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUseAcPqHGX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKAXghEjlb
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrW6Hu8poA
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBwByT2GX3
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLPDDEyN0a
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T6afv8jA1

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt393zJKU6h
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBz4cGgB27
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Dxv9n3LW
