“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafJMhEy4ha
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtEjqJaXCo

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKCblCzFMq
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1QuOHsnwL
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2yddQ1RxI

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw5w2ihN1f

Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgiRCJWuK5
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEtqnN4hgL
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3IIm6hUsp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXGsHUSoUR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKmHCKFjLd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS6AoviXJz
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrTF3VPsOS
want to say it.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuCKGtCwNV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRRNDVqMgC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEiwyIUjsI

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhzS4YS4yB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuntQO2Qpl0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1j5JMnxJT

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrakTh0U5

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbedkiRAW4
because that’s just how she is.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QHVrQB204

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDT3UcoqTm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1svI8UA2
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBCBi8Mm52
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgIpwNN1uc
your fun.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcrPMjk1fb

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRZlcBzxjg
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo1ayDrKbD

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tFDByVSW6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvcfy17zsf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTnfavFn8F
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2pSmaiSRx
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YPW3cQ78l
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzk5UWJDAN

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLomU5DcJhJ
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z0U717aN4
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGWmnxxRj
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21g8FtbeaV
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUQXhwXcRG
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBUszdncv0
that they should join Angel and the others.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBEOW4jVt

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiti5AS0EW
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXCaQDSD8e
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oVervso2L
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLnX0a2gmW

“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwWmg9Syry

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzzBNrToti

they aren’t at their table.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORMduoPNv
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZjMDQBigG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW4uuXdOM3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvgPtZVs1w
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMgzCAtEe
the counter.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLYXKTKRTr

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xiOUAv40B
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiCxr4rpGk
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X5dANkmuM
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmigMZUKFK3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOcxntOgEX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM49cpNAgK0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd8mwJHJK0
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiy3ZD6Ifw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGHTrZAHpw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFIiKugnWT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrrlXAyd3D
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QHRkMo81D
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsNq4v5TL
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IPuGmuWzE
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwgpGYZnJI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4kZjbBu06
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA03dsEsgTM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLP28rnhd
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FnICiTAdp
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y75WmcTh4
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyw33HV6PZ
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJXQ04tTYr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoewczZ2tbs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3asisVMXRv
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsTtW8njoj
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7Y1egxxT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1bF3UiHJQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaUj7kfu18
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eWqrgv7KS
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjV1ZQBya
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEApl4THqFh
would speak first.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzSz3tAAUC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjC6WwKcQW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc63LZvybvb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsASehDqxPo
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWUyVV2iAh
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMeGPuRQMJ

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ujSm3rMu
he gets here. I really need to step out.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbIMjP0BRv

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvBvy3RE6n
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9j4eDnFuF
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhePjpaZo8B
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjdS2gujhJ
it was hopeless to do so.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSv6uSxKZP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEcwgzEz62
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZEp11zOBQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZXUrINsP6
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn8OfpwCm3
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uQKb3W8Wn
Walters calls.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKddckbnCZa

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWEarZLQfI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvx3LmhI1Q
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMyd3SEU42
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfVJopyMUg
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKck4ZZZp
minute.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6RfziT2Nn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEOKIIIyDp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHN7zUkvMV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBzRQLNTbx
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwTjYUGSo
door.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouOeyhyZot
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSvdWkR7W
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwivUlDPrNI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgntq4JOqc
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQCRkqjiZE
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6025afdoC
any moment.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SNWO0tA9k
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwOxvSDCm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK0issGCkP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBkWbzj4HC
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQOrRq3NFe
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYY2fbJGHt
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4Du2vifw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaXxwtGZeq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5mPOjjcy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2UlqNOe8
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuIZZa6ATF
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdgP10EWgd
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO1tbZRHK9
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0yha0Ty7P
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVLRCksFYM

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hiu5q5wIe
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe6XQkt9L1
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNCLnEWGRW
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvamM6jmlRo

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r8LdB8VlD
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sTp4r7ut4

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1VO2hj4g0
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uKSfYAHNo
Eric and shook her head.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEw2DqYcNc

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsWETmgkkp
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6AX0t4ekI

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLudDlQSyn
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimVNRCPuE0

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFKQ57ZuBq

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW8cCBTi9B
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy1S1UECpL
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRBe7F9hOk

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1isbzgKEy

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SURR3LhN2
they all burst into laughter.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiVhc0oQNp

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6vir8Cm2r

shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hiWbLJc2M

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCwPDYTQY0
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8EvKzxFD2
out his hand to get a nacho.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJrwWObvq5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOHD0xRTZ4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjriojA4jps
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sk0UB0JeV
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrARrDx5ZDF
afterwards.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5v4VtsdB

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiCaQwmFu5
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbqQsKTBKz

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l34eXiSq7
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXQ24SZCtq

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMSFb9IzuX
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qbnSOcuTV
the statement.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ygqiv5nee

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yd4VMDYjI
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENXU9Yzmhq
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjQNXyAQVg
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKEI0nL6lM
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP0akgx2QU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K2e1jsG3z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18GowZx4i
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFDA4Clann
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUseCszcvL
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkGqFUlkuG
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkf7TKbnmH
elsewhere. What should she do?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHNdtcGpML
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDFwZ2jkZY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74JxrPdiod
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tm9unSaur
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8CytjNJ4P
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D0bmHKUmR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ex0Xp3GZI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx4UoKkeg8

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn5MtXxQFk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCE3ALguyy
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF9k03pqEz
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSwKHSxPNN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BacIaw3KF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOnhFHtMOI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZAkRaGCq
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPdWhgcYxt
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Iags0dqr
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk7b2t6fM9
necessary.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTfULnwdD5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgpXLrSo8v

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJeds3D2f5

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSKVcn9fFT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCLzJxoVRz
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMTAdJPQF4
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lSndGa6Q8

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTzNTJx5ay

Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN1yHsEsko

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0FSS7frPT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8qSJ0rdMw
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5wT4pIJYA
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcwNKQ39fz
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4VvJEd1q3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ds8wMliIP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsejPREoUgM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97SLkl4D42
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXjl4Qqm9
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMMdKUv4ab
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt5zNF2KlP
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZNMaw6xBG
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTkVWShvWo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslQrMMvSoV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4qWU8wgIU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReqtFEM3PC
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfGxjfTBwq
us.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfypkIzdqIx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3UfujbxG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9DcF8U400
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvGYHOjcin
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd5ZaBcM0L
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKyNhAX6Hd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRb4aiItON
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSxXYbUw0Z
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnpgygVB9A
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSEwJ8rZhe

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNwxzsv7zN
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebdQ8k9BfU
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eaD0WlGQ
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZn1fe1R56
counter for a drink.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUX1jpTWnT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSSDG1Ge4t
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54DhwXFKrJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtACyoJ6KOl
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yE5MxO5Is
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bBJabcn4
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt27yNLovN

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdHgGGAzia
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY01EQ98mQN

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9zlNtSPa9

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9t8k2aC6O
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoihHwne65B
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPxVQiOiGV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L5Gu342BC

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IA2Ba3Fb9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LpgyIc7HP
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPtnUjsLEg
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCjCUWBPie

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOoV85tvYN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mdZdBw5Rz
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQWtOw3Cg
just as jealous as I am,” she said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc85btNtQH

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybaiQ7befC
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDDCEraURX

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nyZUUIXPJ

Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRvVy2R6Gf
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVP8hLOK1G

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGaQh8JNjx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH87WxEamQx
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqfbNCSVO2
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlgDOag2Lp
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4tJ9kjPVI

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9DLI3DuWG
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDPUPp6eVL
was going.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S6W8dqdHQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDo4YnUI5H
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjtcuUEeR8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0tZi7KYqP
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnblcklPXY
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YeOHl15aw
isn’t going to do you any good.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iYnK4j3ug
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBNNpRHqt4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpKPhm23WY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm3Q9Dwssq
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvLduKNR6k
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBVk7kNcuR

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9o31uoQUy

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjBKMYiqc6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Y1zrzSND

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTC9VfUtiQ
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgYTaZB39h
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOcCIxXk1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i1MR7Mghg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhIbjeCb1n

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyvEIh973G
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX16ArG2sC
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxd6jjKl6
us some drinks.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMdnisn3cu

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpDwAiil6x
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUknskPP0H
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJjBhHkbKa
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7VJBjw6RD
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJQcJUkPLQ

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ZsVNwHrR
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtVIgzswOz
she didn’t even give them a second thought.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE05q6hNOWe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuwht4XGF6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92LZfXKkx8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiuWvuKH6t
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRyr6jTE4A
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XjteIN7Yh
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOwz7vdB0C
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmk1jhWoV2
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQuCwT7v5z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzDNaYbLy3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXYXToZvVL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZZHlXsPl
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A5GZT631L
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrzb0IvYPi
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGeNPHujiL
she wasn’t too careful.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbUFfBqomj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73cglM43Ts
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsYqBWuiPy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyX9u7w5v1
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkB7NBflbj
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcgGj5kKVo
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefcKj1B5ob
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZpfOTvO9B
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSPTWil3Rv
things.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUQGV6JyOh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2PDbjfltB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7vTvTJ6RI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ylKRWC3H
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlGei9Unwz
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6gAjvSbSk

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0nqtwJFjS
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RxpO9jpJJ
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuVBwqb5ea
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKfEstDKjI

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovnOjML4d

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIep5SRjPs

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ22SKr9DLa

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQvaLArMCe
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWwzAe8XlS

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3NcNiGQYd
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXC1ZFbUN4

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkCIwHgZ8n
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y8mMNdXsU
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxrPwCSK79
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wN6jiAk3

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyCkcTt8Jl
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEI23tLC0X
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr9fhu3Eej
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiyxeWLdp0
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAH3l2NWh2

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWWPX43gvT

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ABB3hcI4
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoDACqfMqy

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30SrSCbuB3
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x43ntkPhy
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSOg6Up8aT
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4u51af6f1
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnqauig9vH
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MHXydxZIH
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAkVbBaUiW

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEl5R56hvV

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4iNkcveIZ
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PDLGktt4H
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFTKUzyfTW
though she had woken up from a bad dream.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYs6IMRCjm

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTnc1oJvIL
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gLnoavkqm
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xtGAO2dOb
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBBGRveDq9

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPpwL4P0cg
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa8BjBPNyv
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQERQPW3ukK
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8HNDcfzCW
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97u7IUSBG

Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiekzkuh8S
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfDAw7T0cE
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnvZ6R6dKI
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97CDRMPHVF
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov5INwF5aT
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJTEQpUsoX

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQD3gsfZ7U
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m6TFGYb0C
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfusRA8nSX

Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaRzJcXDEW
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpiHgIlolk
surprise.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dGC1JQoAR

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWisLNF6Qz3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yxc6maMJR

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGMsOg3BjP

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nHRfMFFYB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDhME8ZKPp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvyflDSKhI
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYHvCO6m8d
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPJ1mthqaD
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlrXnXzSF6

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0zkHQH7EB
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU1N9tAN8c

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtu25Pdxa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAryF26jZlY
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35wdbRw2sQ
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz81oaqKfu1
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxup5S8JLfg

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOUJrMPH0T
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gDIFaXrrp
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghvnsCYekb
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrt62yyrzp
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbsQDRbUQv
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRewp44C0Xy

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3IAcbGbU5
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZxY5MkQ8S
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfDRpMYq6C
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwniFm6h9fZ
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN4RYAo5l5
leave, but after she finished her martini.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsEzzPNWQ

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh2zyTyiJJ

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmQAjqCyUE
Kim’s shoulder.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC38NpJniK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7RAKy2lD6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WAXVeJqCs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvNo59TZs9
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryuvV22ZK4
idea. We should get out while we can.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQK7DuA4ii
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUUV0mUFHI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nz3l4okil
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwhVbgfNiN
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4m39T6Pk1
the conversation. Let’s go.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuK8w6bzQ6

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDb7itsq2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz5UsWDSbN
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCW99nzFwW
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yyCOt2Bdn
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiHORj7zFR
were able to see Leo’s table.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV0gCYnJMb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0oLrokk1f
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHoQKH9dDY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKuN9smv6Z
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO844P61Uux
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cdwEWPBEU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Nnlso1UK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5mTOM6AYK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxAaw8k3H
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHaJwePSzj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDDmoF3qVU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl5lL7hiNz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiALQNMLSb
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvrXJXBUsc
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJxtSA3JDK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkS1szbYaJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqyLrK4kNF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgONhhcFTu
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjDZQzPaMx
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww0TR83Whq
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bM48gZ0qX
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbCyyPVFu3
counter in anticipation.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRYdoKrlM4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93xG1Bzeuo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVplTDiDf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK27h73ewHe
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkWxnODipj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ0IKP9rC2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa54OLs75Xk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgjUeIaUx3
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoirRrce4z
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjnkQDvZyL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzOy6231WD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQeKTIRsI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs8AkKXw6U
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRIpJwqHhy
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5BEd1FmqC
head.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl21Wdyg5U
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1QIo75d4T
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoT1558Yym
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt7ludo28M
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloNEqJmEFI
not at that intimate level.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM7nVm3Yq6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBc7phfZb5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDLlByN7nx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAxxq1fxmj
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SiABSAaao

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6c2Mu5ukf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYaFh8AgK
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHUoCivC5U
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2UuD2VJaI
he was being friendly to me.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHyKT4kjyQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlk1d4mKji
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFk79IqrOS

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n2Ll1G2qq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHjnb72du5
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhkmXtjES6
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWybPEsgfuY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2eOb79jnr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5LR2sOct1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvtodeNSgm
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhY3LKebKF
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv4bZG35ao
counter.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHB4LxtuJl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7sxCZnFJX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz9TJglqsy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OWULyqCLR
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowjnXBJ5yi
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqC51DcB0R
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ymQqLrZgc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPh2tP2Y3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyki43Zhh9U
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JRlwzam2
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvD2RlxHJI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwU5TEAgYQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZhPkIb6vP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6gMusTtjb
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvFosfiAM
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqgzDJDDxj
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvvTatqArZ
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mpkjq0bT7
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVOJDjSWMT
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbxAgA6H8K
that was different from Carly’s.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIICFMXlfFC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv55GTUHHi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa44r8lBAL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFj1g5PdQR
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyndCUAx0Ag
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2sVp9I76H
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpwk70gTHk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhubABYLrd
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl3cEMea5O
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5FRXg36rg
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpcm80KQJl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zd3loKGKm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFy1AS66sz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzM4POdono
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjguAEICSs0
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe1IXe7nIW
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ZmcPG0Oz
doing here?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cfs1ItELW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy0oJEBgyo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8mu8M02h2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2jYWmRe3
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEioUXGGah
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSKWeAAJgt
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbkXTiStQo
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyfGezQ2Hy
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gPfHFP4Hu
surprised look.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYuJIeHawK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPI0o8xoN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI3tTm53gs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk86LrvQPyy
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw4vK0HOFk
get her attention, but she thought better of it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdggMRpI2H9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk0CpdiH1M
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k8K8Xy57x
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvGh5Uu4tw
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWVWwOHG3n
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiRjQtVEKa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdueP96gOxk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGplwXUZAZ
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA4g2NMrno
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAv7VyUPF8
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRwEB9iJQd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0wULSXvDm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxMX7uNKSu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoBj6dDrPD
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0yx8MmGL1
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygAoqaIO1Q
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD61XkKfMnD
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEF5XNSouL
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqkoNA8hZg
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJFfxCszKx
the table.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoueP7KpWHQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9qVIOJmF2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuschW0RCIC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy1MKYJFHR
“What was that about?” Eric asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2iqrBPuNG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6QxlhebdT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvpp3iuX6E
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAZfFiGEZe
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM2niYogy6
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtAHQeEzT9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIK6jgAOr5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSxwxYYTUE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29y3v7GhGC
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mv8frnDEa
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGDR7FvcKP
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojT1y81Wr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtOe0mZRzF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDzUhT43wG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96wZvJkNYB

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme1DlMqBB5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zupFZC1n2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOXTRY3IT0
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1WzL1XBuX
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1KetQdzJR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOE0L6Qhje
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rth6bwFBR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvuCMuFY0M
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJiNytboU4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPaAY6kRJG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0RGEMJwHe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyBZTjP1E3
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1p38Aiw5R
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji0eclyWiB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSMfabErwY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKFZmL0Qf0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzlERkks6V
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF672Z2fbw
said Marco.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeHkbjGvko

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKA9EbPgEk
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sHEhYllYR
more handsome than you.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLbIvHFc7B

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaacFjizh5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgogWDfO8Ex
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRoLyGfJqx
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDeJPTPWKk
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuEmhPWdap
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ifLljEDPd
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqvwdLRMDo
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCSAsBQYOn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bLdhcVPj6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSs6M7JdPF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzmEynBjZ6
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK7ofPllrN
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKP5FfZAs6
thinking about.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGaAtBJcCG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ewSYvjHhm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcswvqa3v
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzzmLaZnU

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1PdyNjRuH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToPM1Wchm0

brother’s face.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzdIRL2LUp

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnwNQ73Rre
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHcpVb7R96
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZnXKBnVf5
at Oliver.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLMJtcO1Up
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8AGdlKAc3

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡentGzO5DQc

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCr6uahqBq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEIU6ph2lc
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzvkMRQSYO
heading out too.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr24bYTLbL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KZwGl3DSS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiZku4FCcY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bULlEY0zv
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAf10X70zj
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZW16DDXtZ
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qQvdvu0Fo

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA33d6dAGF0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xl2CjaWoW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81prvGdSlR
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdLej29OXF
here.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N8ozIWxBn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy3UVrEXIc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLzF0UdfWw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVnABBYgJR
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC5qnQVvIe
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXfi2dHV7D
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOWOEL0NU
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr773LyBcG1
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmvAQcG6xl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTUUiAdMC1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9KvzK0ljq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNIUpLZbdw
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TBCMDuchU
little longer.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1RqewLQx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCK7xdvMl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdfatVM4Iy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1KcnVGdEb
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH6SliUTKy
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTugK8SFaJ

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LEVDaZRl3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lpL2ZwwOt
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboEvWICbcS
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPJvNCan7W
get your number, Angel.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1twplH2dRv
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9X4wCNgPs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BhSlK4I0I
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq9SUuYmiW
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBXYAcL7U
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtibAfydDV
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg0x0OAqLC
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuxaw2PRir
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wb4ql2qHN

“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x5d3lMVLW
difficult.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyMQXmfcSC

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJh4Iu4Ci
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoApuT7tReh
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGxvHp8HP
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjDjRxxrzw
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15OFP95bIj
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRs1onfRdi

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOQJUQafrb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Jsnkx0i6
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdPT2pGyRx

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eeqtnpIqB
much at all for a while.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BFtGyB7Df
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfU8D0GfTQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfjR8JX5hd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1whKKHZaje
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttWfaK3uP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilNrCqRpfU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT256CZYs5e
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXND4BEg4O5
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpbkbUNk8b
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKvSS4Tih9
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdXNZ3naaP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4xjGUN5Mo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhsa47h9Is
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWPtkNaOPd
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zATu9B8W
home.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc7O7Bulk4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o3KPmASRz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8kdA7foz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lIikyhpMa
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTbQjiNAX3
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsa7pkPZLc
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLXHLsigRI
Miranda might still be around.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lt8gdNGR8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATumwksDWF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs52saHaIb1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO25GBUK9Fo
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05MZAsdtbQ
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqNVyZEh34

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfMsUjZPMh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaZzi0Gng0
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD9h9lrgUb
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTCCyCcJkB
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfvsZpYTTC
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hjKzvRpXN

“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84mbS1FOen
the bar area.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXa242xzD

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1dzmfHgoN
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNH1jeuWJq
they started to stand up.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHRxttrjOp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTJN6Pqegl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeMPhw8aFK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxMtTuINyU
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh2oTanjSE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPZ6CRbpCc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFOFudfG3n
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhLALAxzUj
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2FSvCssr6

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5S7phZ3Qk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPOdigouP3
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVhTc3hsvX
see.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRWcjQ8tr

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFlDHVjniQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJCaHlnjQc
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEaOD3ot05
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFnDYAhKmo
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbgPJxMB9B
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddXza5c8Z
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0SM1exJt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNBC6Kcbyf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaclWMpCUI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rIu2tmEfU
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnWbHxX0KR
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJvUTsQMEs
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGmLakvlI
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3O3VbSvCb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5otU0sAOR1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1s2OukMwz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NvqJUv6kR
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxTDImdwPN
seen us.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2U8MJvEjU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Mc4ClFhJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WZ4iFHQbB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZVHLAfRW
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5qgKwIZdl
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBgR0f4q0K
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGZ6AjIKPo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFxi0SL5Ep
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJm3CZEJK
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYUYkaPTC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskJrd499Pk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxNYDg04d9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXlcesftMH
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMWcUWixtl
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgo4Obxrax
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8we25WfDxu
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsFWO2BY80
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUp5tS86o0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrXt7W8VF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2seTvG8QTy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8c5awhnaD
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcMYlwgM7h
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmN0sBIszy
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPUsQRc6b7
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe0t7psf2M
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhBXX8981u
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmb97YQ9En
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdTXUZib0p
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKRiNuukPI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NMqxOuG2
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBfmcmxpN0
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9etZmtEnCm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcCwcrWOOF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQjrqyFth3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpQEbZ1IIv
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2C9asIrT0
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOvjKWM1BH
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6OSODRJ7S
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mci2wHonJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18EizUY2Z3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwjIBfVQMe
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbszYPKuCoz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKAALB7OKI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrAHZpdZgV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnTCyrneEu
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjulQ2TkiuJ
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJQFDByswh
this wasn’t over.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsG3U4Vvrb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqYtq6ahj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm7aI226cu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtkiLTF6pm
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFXjmAH0nh
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBSCK0QyqY
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOCV4mBQQo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyoLmVEJzh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWEpkiStEG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjh0KQyGbu
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m8N7H6PS2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBmGjhZsb6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlfC85IESk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAu3omPoTA
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMAhKxVm3
favors," said Angel.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVeIW1rOnC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9QGZlmmyp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw6gGPtjJj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdd79lZT9n
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mq5XXsSJR
they been there?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZfcOm7XK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCanvRLv9VT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2oIuvJkKe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6aH6q5qla
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobzloZwuEK
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hEQcXhFts
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHavpEVz9P9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iHbvxjLTG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV9c0QQVPH
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRIz4QzKW6
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJm2dhpbXZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzuE2wFYil
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E2ODOr84Z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheDvwDPTko
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9DSOFf5t8
so you've got to be careful from now on."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hOLFoO6P1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCApCtnKh7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CShybnsXt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ulhrQfRF
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsOQxG1JVL
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnuP7pChwh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0swiBAsRDG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYHoi6U5ed
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2aQpdT5AM
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WjH9OO2zK
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7FrM5E1Dh
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7h7T8BNFw
night only.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6GQil3qdb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhmjhR3O5r
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VElgH7CG5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG1odMGb6F
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCTMBUXoo
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcH0r478cE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MVbi9KqnZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRpyvbc41G
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGBjSmLXL5
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zH7s8F9Ie
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsOhoxJ6tc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJCWhw2tf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39uDZCATQU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ZMD5NAIL
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zt0lbgW1E
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuDw7vRTwZ
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRXNLBoa0
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2o4XqwToQ
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5EtnBXKkD
want one?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0jYXR1Phl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5WIWp764J
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwLOjjz7KF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJxOtO7gTy
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yQax1X3en
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmanpZdVSK2
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRY7tFO2BA
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpb5GgNDfD
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1delx32v35
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkBGgpyykl
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uC0Lo9R7o
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLZ1MgW7xF

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVesHlri4W
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzYwPkWlPd
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJQDyGmufW
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwcVA4EoXt
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOckjmEMHp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqz0WLmgjg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpUBBDSE1x
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6XDYLypGL
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9SVcxmuyl
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hon6J3DxF
relief, it was Walters.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rj0bNpNpZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRtXseqHu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQh3S8vLLe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7p1zNklnr
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6akBkF1Y2L

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXyhNYjS4X
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAGI1R1Kd7
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xvUmoiWfo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L4exFWscl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAbJE8psg6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeScjnYaDp
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuakTCTm79
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlnt5agr4r

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu7J5MEn2m
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MLGynf6Vh
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQ5hWbkA2
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl60R1LurR1
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppPxAbBUXf
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YPd8BL076
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGn82gvaN1
Lion?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Do00PcVFg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDzc727Bg1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqjoLOJi41
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF7L9PYh56
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7en9j2TiDF
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon6ajjh4I4
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp5ZGS8rmR
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIyd11kzQk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYx6caheyM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTIaBVWuN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPwwpNDt4v
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7CiPilXCi
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXVbVvIX2
squeeze her throat for being late. He turned to the person who stood on the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5ELhv1ymw
balcony.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZYnxhpNQm
