Leo pulled at the corners of his collar as he briefly looked in the mirror before turning away to look at his navy blue jacket on the bed. It had just come from the laundromat an hour before, looking well pressed. He walked over to his bed and took it. When it came to such events as dinner, Leo was very particular about his clothes. He looked at the jacket that he held up and admitted that they did a very good job of firmly pressing it. He takes his suits to the same laundromat, and they have never disappointed him. His suits made him look so classy and important. He doesn't go much online, but his female fans never stopped complimenting him about how good he looks in suits.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiRmRs3BTO

As he put the jacket on, he couldn't help but imagine how Carly might look tonight. She had sent him a picture of her aqua blue dress, and he couldn't wait to see her in it. Because of their meeting, Leo and Eric had decided to book a hotel room for tonight where the dinner would take place to keep their visitors company. He wished he were back home, as he imagined Carly, in her dress, walking down the stairs. It would've been a beautiful sight, he thought. Leo was so stuck in his thoughts that he didn't hear the door to the bathroom fly open and Eric walk straight out.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlf0iJQyrA

Eric started talking about an incident at work when he realized that Leo wasn't listening. He walked over to Leo and waved his hand in front of Leo's face. Leo jumped with a startle as he turned to look at his cousin.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBZAEbtHgM

Eric went over to the wardrobe to get his black jacket and made his way out of the room. Leo looked at the phone in his hands, and before calling his mother, he thought of sending a text to Carly. Before he could do so, his phone vibrated. Someone was calling him. To his surprise, it's Angel. His eyebrow shot up, leaving him to wonder. He hoped it wasn’t about Carly. Maybe he shouldn't answer her call.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjF6b5BlLh

Leo didn't know what to make of what he heard as he slowly took the phone away from his ear. Eric was right about Angel wearing a red dress, and he was going to taunt Leo when she arrives.

Mr. Walters looked down at his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. Miranda was late as usual, and the two of them had to hurry to their destination. In times like these, he even wondered why he kept her around. Among his call girls, she is currently the best. If Carly was still around, I wouldn't be waiting on Miranda like this right now, he thought. Their client was very demanding, and Walters checked his phone from time to time to see if the client called or not.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABHEigmoBn

Angel didn't concentrate as much on what was going on inside the car as it drove through the heart of New York. The chattering sound of the women talking felt like background noise, and each time she dove deeper into her mind, the more the noise muted so that she could barely hear what was around her.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn96qkxRXxJ

She had no idea why she had suddenly drifted off into space. Was she nervous about the dinner? Not really. When she got home later in the evening, Mr. McDonell had told her that they had managed to seal the deal with the investors, so that's a good thing. Moreover, meeting new people hasn't always been a problem for her. She gets nervous at first, but then the feeling goes away, and she soon feels right at home. Then, what could be bothering her so much?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRvUzGIzeK

I must be tired, she thought to herself. She did have a long day, and she hoped for the dinner to go well. Yet she still had a funny feeling that she really shouldn't have come. Well, it's too late now.

She turned away from the window and found herself looking at Oliver next to her, who was dressed in a black suit with a cute bow tie, engrossed over his tablet as he played an action RPG game. She turned to look in front of her, where Amanda, Carly, and Diana sat. The three women were all stuck in some conversation, and Angel, still stuck in her head, couldn't get what they were saying.

Ever since their mother's passing, Angel has always felt a certain burden on her shoulders. It's been there for as long as she can remember. However, after her mother's death, it just got a lot heavier, and at some point, it became unbearable. With the help of Mr. McDonell, she is slowly starting to get back on her feet. She knew at some point, after she made enough to support her and Carly, she would've to move away from the McDonell household and go somewhere else. She always felt like a burden to the McDonells, even when most of the family members didn't seem to mind, especially Eric. Mrs. McDonell clearly showed that she didn't like the sisters in her own home, though she did try to put up with them in the last few days. Then there's Leo, whom Angel couldn't stand.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKWlcC0ssi

I sometimes wonder what Carly sees in him, Angel thought to herself. The two might pretend to get along sometimes, but there was something between them that sparked, causing them to get at each other's throats. Leo isn't bad for Carly, Angel thought to herself. She just wished they had met under better circumstances. Sadly, one of those circumstances just happened to be Carly being a call girl and working in a club.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaqdFuYJPF

Angel thought a bit more. If Carly never worked there, Leo would never have been involved in their lives, as would the rest of the McDonell family. However, Mr. McDonell knew their mother, so they would've met under better circumstances. Maybe at her mother's funeral? Well, that's not such a good situation, is it? Angel asked herself. In whatever way fate played in their lives, Angel concluded they were going to be involved with the McDonells in one way or another.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuyTCBJVyd

Carly really has made some bad decisions in her life, Angel thought as she continued to look at her sister, who was now laughing at what Amanda had said. Angel only wished that Carly could focus more on her education and then build her life from there. After their mother's death, Angel admits that she has been a little rough on her. That's because the tables had changed so drastically for them, and Angel was trying her best to be a good sister.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SoCAVcs9F

Angel gave a nod of her head and turned back to look at Carly. She found herself smiling as she thought of the promise she made to her mother in the vision she had when she was lying on her hospital bed. With all she has, Angel will do her very best to take care of her sister.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVf2DNWlBD

"No, he isn't, and he never was," Diana defended her son. "It's not his fault that many girls came around looking for him whenever they felt like it. If it's that friend of Kim's, Trina, she has always been drooling over him."407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25LWJIJKks

Everyone in the car fell silent. Mrs. McDonell had already turned to look at Amanda behind her. Bob swallowed but still kept his eyes on the road, waiting for Mrs. McDonell to overreact. Carly looked at Amanda beside her with her mouth slightly open. She was surprised to hear Amanda suggest that when she was secretly dating Leo. Diana didn't expect Leo to be mentioned, for she knew he and Angel don't get along sometimes. Angel felt like the ground would open up and swallow her. If anything, she felt almost brain dead. She couldn't help but wonder why Amanda thought like she did. Oliver, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention, with the sound of his game on the tablet being the only thing sounding in the car.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG7vVZafOO

Angel felt her head spin. Was she about to lose consciousness? She hoped she didn't. The last thing she needed was to think of pairing up with Leo. To her, the whole thing was just absurd. She and Leo? She wouldn't be with him, even if they were the only two people left on earth.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZ2gSZ4XE

Angel found herself back down to earth after Amanda asked the question. Great, she thought to herself. Is Amanda up to something? Maybe she's just curious. Carly, on the other hand, felt her heart beat faster. She told herself not to break a sweat, but she was finding it hard to do so.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx3WtA8S7b

Carly blushed at the comment, while the fact that Carly was once a call girl bothered Angel. If the other members of the McDonell family knew about it, they wouldn't treat Carly and Angel in the same way ever again. It's why Angel was sort of thankful that Carly left that awful past behind her. No one should ever know about it.

Diana, Carly, and Angel suppressed their laughter when Mrs. McDonell turned around to look at Amanda, who didn't entertain her by looking back.

Leo looked down at his watch, thinking that his mother and the others should've come by now. Their guests were already in the restaurant with his father. He and Eric excused themselves as they offered to wait for the women and Oliver to arrive. Leo stood while Eric sat on the expensive Persian sofas in the waiting room.

Eric soon stood up from his seat, straightening his jacket. He and Leo went over to receive them. Mrs. McDonell walked in in her stunning maroon dress, with a lovely white flower brooch on her chest and black shining heels. Her blonde hair was tied up and fell in curls down her neck. Diana looked young and sexy in her black, one-sleeved dress that hugged her curves. And the makeup on her face was well done, as her glossy red lips shone under the hotel lights. Oliver, who stood beside her, looked just as smart as Leo and Eric in his black suit and bow tie.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbSpO9OaTt

Leo held his breath as he looked at Carly, who helped drag Amanda's wheelchair. She looked magnificent in her aqua-blue strapless dress. The blue eyeliner she applied to her eyelids fit well with her outfit, and her lips looked glossy and tempting to kiss. She also had her black hair curled as it fell to her shoulders.

"She went to get something in the car," Oliver answered. "You should see her, though. She looks stunning."407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFaJ3BIcB4

"Since when did you start complimenting women like that, young man?" Diana asked. Oliver didn't answer as he puffed his cheeks playfully.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKJVwgLjp

Carly turned to look at the doors to the lobby. "Oh, look," she said. "Here she comes now."407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjhNAw8Z8l

They all turned their eyes to the door. Eric's eyes couldn't believe what they saw, and his mouth flew slightly open. Leo felt his whole surroundings disappear from his sight when he saw Angel walk through the door. It's like Angel appeared like a beacon in the dark, and she's the only one he could focus his eyes on. He is speechless at her appearance.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtBUkHcyq0

Angel couldn't help but notice eyes on her, not only from the McDonell family but from people who appeared in and out of the lobby. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, hoping that she didn't look too bad. She looked down at the red velvet dress. It was a sweetheart off-shoulder dress with a wide neckline showing her shoulders, collarbones, and straight sleeves. The dress also had shoulder straps studded with crystal rhinestones. Her dress hugged her curves and ran all the way down to her feet. Thankfully, she was wearing silver-strapped, high-heeled shoes. Not to mention that a slit ran up the left side of her dress, exposing her beautiful, slender leg.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2loyJrPBh

Angel didn't know how to make sense of his words as she blushed, looking down at her feet. Her black and red hair, tied in a lovely curl ball with a few strands of her hair in front that fell in curls, bounced at the slight movement of her head. Amanda, Diana, and Carly couldn't help but giggle at her. Mrs. McDonell wasn't all impressed that Angel had stolen the show. When she turned to look at Leo, there was a look on his face that she had never seen on him before.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONmdLVOuTq

Leo felt like he was out of breath as Angel continued to be the focus of his vision. Her hairstyle suited her, as did her dress. He couldn't ignore the makeup on her face, either. It wasn't too much, but the classic black eyeliner and red glossy lipstick made her look all the more beautiful. After Eric had complimented her, Leo noticed just how quickly her cheeks blushed, bringing out a radiant aura to her appearance. He noticed that she also wore matching red oval-shaped earrings surrounded by shining rhinestones. Her fingernails, painted in deep red nail polish, made the way she held her white, glittering purse in her hand look somewhat admirable. His eyes moved to her feet, and it's then that she noticed how cute her painted toes looked. His eyes went up her leg next, which was slightly exposed by the slit of her dress. Oliver was right when he said she looked stunning. However, Leo thought that the right word to use would've been extravagant.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIs0SxbVjE

Mrs. McDonell wasn't the only one who noticed the way Leo looked at Angel. Carly had turned to look at him and realized her sister's appearance had captured his attention. There was a certain way in which he looked at Angel that made Carly feel something inside her start to boil. She felt the sudden need to wave her hand across his face to snap him out of his trance, but that could only make things even more awkward. However, Oliver came to stand beside Leo and pulled the sleeve of his jacket.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonW3vn5WCD

Amanda smiled at Leo, as she had also noticed from the start how he had been looking at Angel when she walked in. The conversation they had in the car came back to her, and it flattered her heart somehow.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR8yDoVSFs

Angel looked up at Leo, and their eyes finally met. They quickly looked away as they both felt uncomfortable. Angel wished she hadn't picked out the dress. Earlier, she had not only felt Eric's eyes on her but Leo's as well. She felt uncomfortable with the way they both looked at her.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY20gsAy3I

"Oh, right, said Eric, shaking his head a bit as he still looked at Angel. "Let me just say that you look gorgeous, Angel. Would you mind me escorting you to the restaurant?"407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMLZHGqxF8

Angel gave him a smile and a nod of her head. She wrapped her hand around Eric's arm. Eric smiled at her, feeling rather lucky to have such a gorgeous lady by his side. He started to make his way to the restaurant with Angel. Mrs. McDonell followed behind them. Leo looked on at Angel and Eric as they made their way out of the lobby before Oliver pulled at his sleeve again, pulling Leo along as they followed.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSfC3VQLsX

Carly, hoping for Leo to help her push Amanda's wheelchair, felt a little disheartened when she saw him walk away. Angel's stunning appearance still had him dazed by the look on his face, Carly concluded. She remained behind with Diana and Amanda, pushing Amanda's chair behind her.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB4VwqrM0b

"It's not our fault she picked a lovely dress," said Diana. "And I didn't have to put much makeup on her. She's naturally beautiful." She turned to look at Carly. "Both of you are."407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTqSw6U5Bk

Carly smiled. "Thanks," she said. Still, the compliment didn't make her feel better. Not after Angel took much of her boyfriend's attention away from her.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoU4yuMCho

Carly's night was far from being a pleasant one. As she and the others left the lobby, a red car pulled up in front of the entrance of the hotel. Miranda, in her black boots and jeans with an orange shirt, walked out of the car with her backpack in her hands. Walters told her he would find her in the lobby while he went to pack the car in the hotel's parking lot.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRMkH1GiCl

Miranda walked over to the hotel entrance after Walters drove away, and she couldn't help but look around the hotel lobby when she entered. She has been here countless times, and there's no doubt that the client who called for her is super rich. For her, it was just business as usual. However, it wouldn't hurt for something extraordinary to happen to her tonight.8964 copyright protection403ＰＥＮＡＮＡGogRga2ieL 維尼
