“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPCDL7FKnI
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkSMI64NpM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxHs5tbkI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJXzfDzQh8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vxebZvNW
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArItfu3fol

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZD1fWJyd8
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzdrL3IH0K
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsDQt1mX0x
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIITTY6z8iE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2St4scUXDz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K4vRrEStK
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmf7Ae8ba
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjLKfH950k
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIPyUorRe2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58yTMjfvTQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOR61NFB0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dDRrdFcPz
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgMf1FdX2x
want to say it.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTsEaS7nZU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fceEfrcf5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2C5e9octE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmjaC0qwEH
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSB8iiMCkd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3fXzGDwuL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfsMfajrMP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw1RSCajag
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbPCxX5jVk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlgoDVf8bW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHvLSfjOE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqGdT7nMEM
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni5sBKxNA9
because that’s just how she is.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yEJATCFit
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnWXjPUs0Y
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K02kcp2pw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAoBrwLGHN
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeeARDAJkr
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fN3A7bgqg
your fun.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SPRuTTD2Q

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26WPF7960u
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ndUqn3ao
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClVUXuY2yp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqFJB2p1az
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRReMaI7rlQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAFZLrVgWa
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6riQKhwYt6
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3246RiEaIf
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxaQ8AXAPk
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQGj7tIEQ

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wCXReh4gM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUcHDLULox
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa98cyQF4bw

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kQFaOZ2tj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B8Ja5pnk1
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ0JIqOspL
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR14RAIdFB
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JnMIWY7FZ
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOjOmyZIV
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5eFgig0L0
that they should join Angel and the others.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECLrTJrTM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmNKmEmi57
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw07oiQBkaM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQmH9wwBV9
Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlXBNWV9a
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LbgGHljjI

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNka8qCKP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeijU1AoL8s
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXfL6ZfN9S
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo1FCt3E9a
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCCQ2VkLvX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLXFqfGGAI

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mIJMEtB6E

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3fouvN6Ah
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6XmBj7QD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskbhv6rT6b
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kJzFP0ld3
a drink right now.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0N1mvoZxl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhla0j1LpLb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYhOzz4NL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvQhu4TT3
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkfGLAeDOm
their sight.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLdKmKaBu

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19pSZTbOyA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvS8fTnF4
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrK3KQYVHY
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJAlc2DuLB
they aren’t at their table.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam6Hnx5x4V
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLzHSL0Byg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuZGm7Y2Hw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXJkUOm3Jh
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj7hDXRWmj
the counter.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo8QDJmjTU

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONURgpEI9G
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYrbzpZll
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcMVgXivRO
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYohKwV9nLd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6EEP1ZBf6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUndC0QNmNP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2rmDlpSXi
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDAndW6jxD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfxoPq1Dwu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOm3SfsMmw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl32phNOcAA
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07gP9ci9P
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFDrXUdobj
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK1ClF4zsd
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLaaHnYrQk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJPlRZLNT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFvSq4npOg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1zCBmUn7Y
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTXOLcXyaf
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vmS1A8E0D
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmCxFMEUKG
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1pa9zMiF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXGDqAlzsD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GNAeLTJy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC7Xdz2fmz
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSa1bTT4mC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn49hu5Igms
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCmI75PNUn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaXR7q2J62
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb786ZaZzn
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKQjXWIT6F
would speak first.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgbDwlokL9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YNDfz9qpc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIhgOM2dI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rDlwPE0g
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Y5kj8Gwf
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn9lIBrqIt

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoDl1Jcw5N
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5CYle8CGb
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtAkn9Bqg0
he gets here. I really need to step out.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPItYpiHWQz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EPoKeDJmn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdaNdc0Beh
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4QciAqCZA
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NPB7nJSrH
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JdqDan34P
it was hopeless to do so.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEZzJ7NqCx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5PHElBQ75
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByNk12MR84
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pMameC50i
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ctqx5jP9J
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFvKF6bLBU
Walters calls.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAgcRW2ruC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57QHd0evXA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7lC5JN6ik
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCvIh6DdLA
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUel2rrySl1
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXHXVOAJ40
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWJ6B6jxee
minute.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5FLinmtL

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Opv29Vcd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg1SrpM1ay
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmoakJ8XuC
door.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDAUGBeZER
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpanBVwhPA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPyQ2sRv8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeXRiCpuZU
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUScvo8yvG
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE54wXlE34
any moment.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzAgMf0BYa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH6XQP0PqC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4igDZQwa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq0Fn69Z9M
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuskns8pt
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip3E6bNO74
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5lHfWjXXr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2szzFH6NKi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnceVl9Ql
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2otMFq71e
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFHeuAQKtY
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFZddJmBLI
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoItuNCXdCP
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFrGiijTEo
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFcMMLGFlc

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB3wG65T8T
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9964HV9O
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5wdOBKXXx
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0DohQsBqF

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d4vOoYsQH
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWoKPqtlqs

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl2doQg5tP

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Mc940FkE
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT5KDnJTxn
Eric and shook her head.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1mB1s07wq

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCietMDabif
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkr1c64KcK
thanked him as Leo sat down.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8OjU9MYBD

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8R48d7f06
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbMxLizmhT

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0sWHWWo1b
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBNVvXj7C
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eVkfSAASb
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRRiKjO8r
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGCSmshar
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqRp8tnQxr

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC45RCn674

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e6PutmoGv

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA4nXe0Trk

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0mZfzD4TP
they all burst into laughter.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kyi4ikdEw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarJi1ja1J9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOzz4QiNeu

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGhXLR0IuN

“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPRfFVqcGa
supposed to inherit it, not me.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqcymmy7y

Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY5ffY8C87

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFo410hJkO

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFQalE3LEU
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthJGS4cbtr
out his hand to get a nacho.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJGQLOPT1q
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4S6HUYieG
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm41lrKF6C
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOhJxKVYml
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpCdnH2VLq
afterwards.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5I1P8iWnw

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF2f1Qgrco
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2xkEl9IX5
the future.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnM54aFGYR

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJMBMi3duc
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBZ6Ekmy3u

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBGvWgDcJS
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVEaex8mjP
the statement.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡploxQYFQ6s

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56XuFVkKnz
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDCz5uYlO4
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1kcQc1Zky
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ7tK430qF
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStmtCbOMlA
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXQAzaWrMg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE1TePCK8p
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNiPDtVjkN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoalLW3yfR0
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm925GNyE5V
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhwJiIDZFB
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjjbaTZfCY
elsewhere. What should she do?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSJUi5owOX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTYHBewUQy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0V9DuoRpR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OOtRvhuoj
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIHeM2tHq6
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLyv0zfYH6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOknmfXamk8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsIlYqYdR

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX51GPFgcL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7RO4IaqFf
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusCWWirFpa
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKOS9tFNtK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjXbiWtXk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc2wyVrG1O
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhfkr9avHQ
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zwr4yvtK2
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54cLHErjCK
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LMmwKw0Cl
necessary.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgK6lVviz2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0cg8S4ZL3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOxPPzRvdN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnO42catwv
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0cXyltVO8
know.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceHA1zrnPr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFXoMgiVrw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwWCTVlb8k
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoGxozanNg
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo4aN1jF1r
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexiGQf9yi

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBnkufRAQY

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawITZaGTY1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jTP6E1oCK
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX7p1WwvAz
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2b4EReQUW
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvJSNSrgKG

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt104S9Mt5

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kI6XjKuqJ
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R6UhRC7uQ
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zHqAWHK7y
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCulS7jFQ
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeLQL9HSCi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatcj9xz3mB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXAuzGoJr2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0xlP1dxAI

us.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWXAihmIDM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVDofhJjaq
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSyUI1VtR

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkgUKL9pwg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8KpPzlryN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMllCeXT5V
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT4ETMaV60

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgXXaCIZN
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHLMr6Fw0C
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPB8lmgnd
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSv8WVPZbo
counter for a drink.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwZDPSuMnB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ROfqblsO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JRwEeGaM1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBVQEdlhHr
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ939OSdvSKd
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQKSUkuzPo
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLtvg2c51Y
has.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGQPu3lxpk

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsDW01KNMC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqzP9Xm8rX
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Km4JABER
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv1mlIwCpF

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvaZX0oteM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Hzs0dniq
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzGfPScIH
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDVyFSG3Tr

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQhxyxMsXy

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavUhxUSRtr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75aCljSFM7
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtucAJkwpXV
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjhl4xt1oS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PrDId4NH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNeEszun1J
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOShkPwSpql
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDb7kfVFx3
just as jealous as I am,” she said.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xjuY1ogEJ

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSJPjOAm0y
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuchXrZ1AB
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv4p30K9N9
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHUbtD8qnB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZulUPXoYO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvXUttIw4l

Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZlwhWBPEV
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU89Xi0eO0j

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJRRDX0c0U

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmyLeWkNlD
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsyTu5vKC
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6I4Gzh9pm
go of him that easily.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmhjbv6coc

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGi6c7XWF1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrt5AqS6O6
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jFIanqmeY

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2he1mIKfm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmGbjmdwOA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aIIOyAT8g
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUTDY5OrP5
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRadLLEKERM
isn’t going to do you any good.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs01rTuztMT

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmq7h5kdfT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvIoJaLuN8
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHsGVZYBcw
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7xrt0T7ca

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSfxuYa4qX

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDeRBBhh5l
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67lFoFtlSg
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE0Dp89kpm
your promise after you see this lover of his.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7NJjjD8M7

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXWCiEtEMn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnRgIWbecY
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEBHn60h1
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDm4hF3Vw7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytRYPpp4rU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkQqDdNna

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMeYtyPxYp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe4VdpUc28

us some drinks.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cWxgSieEI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU49tqPGhl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrn2FZYodm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw91RJX9lOR
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6nvrM5qAy
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHItDkFlzTP
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzseAoaFnx

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jyxwPd9XO
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgbEJk4Vco
she didn’t even give them a second thought.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBmbYTTV1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAfaXAW78I
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWIkWSdxja
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGrxampaGL
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD2wJpdbIS
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Q0jB2TI4
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rc4rXjIf7
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n3dW6ggDi
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwodEKwxuQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oTFuJq6Ah
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZROpInhsQz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSyzNodvS
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dADgnNsiD
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbPbaGu1Ay
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpz4W4R0SS
she wasn’t too careful.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUVGeBwEA7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qMdwIOhYn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUPLFTaW7s
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uhnKq6klo
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR4uWEDfjC
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR40sy1dShU
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2lm42gDUO
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdUfHQoliK
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5k1b5dg3
things.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0u3Qj9BQ2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl2bLtfZXz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vQKMYRcBe
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAoeZXsfG7
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6Jqfb2yv
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUHmM58A5Z

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIU4cKUTjh
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4usOQttnTG
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWdzbrdysq
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ0UcTLckc
her face.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLrtiTImnt

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGlomS5yM3
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBnjC4jvLC

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVtq64VRRb

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyJC4wLF1

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7WtPUDjz
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVLeSfgeY5
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfB5vsfp2g
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWewfWMlwp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYMRxXdjO9

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAByp5ndxf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZXZsBxNoG

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFDjjG4Rza
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJQsPvytAf
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nUohw6La4
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUXQYsp3Pk

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKOZrV2LDK

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZVh8YopWO
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9a49w5lS2

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShXTE62VJ1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoC7XJf3Fe
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYrL4VO6fP
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13T4mReQw

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpO17qkj8k
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WnyT6jswe
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP15DjweXV
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SWSqYCjuN
sincere.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZdX1xoE5M

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaAK7E5r8T

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ560I1IuS3X
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YG1VClRI
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIZoVoAG8F
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GMBcgv5m4
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2n30FWiyc

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rPReQsxrl

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcJkdLuM12
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6BYze4fDv

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8yWNpJAP6
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVJsU51p0Q
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa98ypZ6LtK
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4DJz1SpL9
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKg8tRSwDs
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4uMZr1ezv
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JawLqFHn2
for it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gVljUeMXl

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXK0xOmnTS
really needed to take a breather.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5aBFsmZi2

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA9PkNhTyC
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86BmtAj0kO
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYp2OYXzZ
though she had woken up from a bad dream.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLm5J3Aq8d

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7xYkEKJdA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEB9XopwiA
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb5ayvrzYB
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZruqyOj7Yx
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1XSsamZyB

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBgURo39iZ
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6mRUQPPgr
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdou4uIuUv
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU2Iv2IcJ0
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGcfib59e6
herself.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQPwQD9y4d
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2htn0HwAr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FhQlq08dz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr1BYty74Q
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6GdfUvSEr
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKteoDbWSNK
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA2q9eKdZb
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCsEjfHcwi
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CY6L9sy2v
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJR6vymqpn
notice her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ayN1EiZqi

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JTiae6iJB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7MtPYEKs
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5WnE48bvx
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzNTBVxB05
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMltmJvs6n

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqafDj33ew
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppEw3OboIR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02mkIx4CUl
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISES0EOhD
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69m9zvBzY
surprise.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6i0jIi7fN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7KGe4rHGw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nfLM7rvBC

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykEcyoTq8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGUn9uWHf0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTTpg286Kw
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs9IKfsfWb
“At the candy store.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAOllok53w
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4keSTwhMtI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlXU2modJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY3nqPg2mu
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wToCvyc3f
bumped into that moving shelf.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSYJVSkC8P
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRyRVBK0BO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGwa59kDtq
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7oqbBCLAP
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWptyXMhOzN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjf5XyR4zo
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoCCvDrWxk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1d3ysiup
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZmmbfIRVc
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kBJdbt0an
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUvIzmVgyb
forever.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1McIxY0UfT

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxLicODlY2
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAhDvgPFOf
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqNlkn8LhI
their conversation ended here.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT8Mpfk9Ba

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OAZ060TEG
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOpsGAQg9Y
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ILcCQMJA
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPuc07JRhs
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63CoecM4tw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvgmDEJfxE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKCITXFD3e
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ESzFQ8D8Y
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc7B09gioS
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRsBoUNIN8
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEa5m6Kf2B
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3usYtjIvP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5iM96hB1n
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcXNaOzami
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWykkIKmBrc
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhV5dgAph
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIJTTyggyN
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T7APv7DGi
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkepRnbA97
leave, but after she finished her martini.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQHKYUGPnE

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rLZlSK0q7
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ekp0ZUbo
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t8KfQwFJd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrzvKiFOgg

“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfNp7wyN1C
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZzqXVYWkl

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYmZZiUKg8

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JIlLvRQaY

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDKfcGLk4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fx8D2v3Bj
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmn2ryg5nx
Kim’s shoulder.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcfGUinP8S
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8wf3d5xKq
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfcEmooeTK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb4e3ZUZEJ
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzpNnIvthY
idea. We should get out while we can.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfpsExRUqR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sRuGZcET7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1hUmoZ7Ys
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gP5HHnT1C
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33f2SGmu3F
the conversation. Let’s go.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu4VgBeMOV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yPf39kSeW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAoogFKNGQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcZaZkeV0g
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma4E9aspSf
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxexpkcR7n9
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz9Et2yX2U
were able to see Leo’s table.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJfhHuAkMd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblf9f9ZifQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFssfxBoMF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hyz57OG97
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljNkht8WJG
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Fl9lJBAs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bc8mII53S
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N6f98nQP7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqUwGPO29
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dqs3Hs63t
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR8HVYjbPD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fohtIRtEA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdICSqB7EkJ
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0rqycvprD
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbkU9iGpUv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdZEmg4Yj2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOw5W8a2U5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNKunbbKUn
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3h8pg5mkj
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSGeABXycV
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KRO99KSaV
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyh9CUwl6o
counter in anticipation.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0MOisrjO7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxLyL4h0QQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSVx6x6sVU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnpFhq31RL
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7q6jKxFuB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg0w6rIJlt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCpvbqX6de
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaHjiz7mAJ
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7VioBuP8W
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf50MRO5rlu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OXLmB6Ea3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRfWnVP4XL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4i0ibEPjj
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxfjcUrGUB
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSH2MluM3F
head.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5PFAps300
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69EPvyvZ7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjlpgPS40G
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Hud8kpCi
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjebgatnAso
not at that intimate level.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdzw8iiqx2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWMLlMfgu3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBIKBrXQnY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM44HQulQAW
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21rlEs3euX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ512k8EgIEt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQgSZxYe12
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3v5VhMwow
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5byunqip
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFA8vzkrbZ
he was being friendly to me.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6piUA2T6S
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h4CQqdTsN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fZjqffOg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBp7Hd590F
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1SA4yt0lB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ndrKib4Z8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJLAIaPq1x
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIGhzMQQyh
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfon701Dimc
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8OVEZubfL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJym1MmGXP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOoDblD3CX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2rTFBDBqM
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTi0UlnYU0
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYSfA8Gqd
counter.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sotK88LNC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIeObmEZht
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9byjhVcex
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0C8CjKO1K
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNoF8du56P
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmfy3cQqlk
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NlSOBSE2q
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5DXng9qSU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmsMl4BJW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv4COk64ls
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWqBHD8Rak
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwxMhh2eH7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgUGUBhDVD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCFZ7FVgtg
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4KXiPDPy2
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlkeXhgbS0
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKqiQmTIQ0
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPCWbt5dh1
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBTql3BoMa
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdKCcqkLZ
that was different from Carly’s.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc4v6YcVrK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUILdzx4yCN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUWND94t6h
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3kEUeRVxg
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytWBip4fDg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seQFkUzoq
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FmluYT7VT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtDA2HHVUM
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Gt0phZiI
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT95BOz7ohC
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEXXHqeliP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fBKQtQ6WP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxUdk4pp3i
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UaOtWXEcl
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSa6AvAUFT
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVsA9Oqveg
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjE0T6CXSq
doing here?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiEW0ZgNS0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGZ9dwGPK0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ6p8mn0Yb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq1AikKnmW
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHiIcaj11j
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23blWzGZLZ
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIyI4kaDjl
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lf0GIl8fa
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdglwgY04G
surprised look.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkRIup9Ld8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ457qD9wX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURZckIZZPt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev9rOSxtmu
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpms7Ia1Thy
get her attention, but she thought better of it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMo4pEKdWu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44v32iSuW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS8GX7chFj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLlwo4b0xh
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860GsYTRpC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt9XYpbCRQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbmiA1Qq3a
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJk6oHs2xx
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5RPzSxSFB
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJihbvc0s0
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuotiTNPyl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYgZuR7xsN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRJZhaomM8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQroExsovRJ
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8iJCfYYev
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsIvqALmPA
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNfkrBGyuJ
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCBSuaReRf
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknjIkj5Z9g
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZRldH3vQ7
the table.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX4hQXfP6p
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M0uL1mqmC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiYcqUmg33
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMIlai1RjA
“What was that about?” Eric asked.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZ6ud42XN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7Hyz9KsR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs101g3Tm64
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvtgIwuZVL
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmlJ9ulvZg
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq1x4lFXGc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSr1NcW1MY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg76pAHaaIw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolugeoPgER
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z7Mh4Kopl
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFiK6aTXEW
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A5NMAdxme
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OPIy8eCWf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOufYMovpK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlAnRPDxD5
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8c5qbEWiu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzwntQ2qD0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE8WTV6mEt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooEKuKYIhi
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxPbDPvvZ0
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh3Yz6xHo5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TlzkZ80WT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp54PyWwrta
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs0cOhd7W0
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMe9VLyF96
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFvhRR41Cg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRtM2h6V3w
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFJxtASmCX
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKJ9367EoS
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpsB2DNmQ4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBYAAvv9U
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc7S8tgWzp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7I32XFdnp
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRauhkixOMe
said Marco.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeks7wQ4ot
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZewrmplJu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNxftWxpjy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcA2mqjfe1
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGoh5hg8Mh
more handsome than you.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9kho0TEj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaa7x7ndAD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajAxRB0s3w
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Xm1tcNIx
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCuIhT47an
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcUBYmkeCI
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFg1aWmWXE
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2og96zzzu
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE9la6SXOY
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmqF9SGRrJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJpnBP2uLK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTY8w1lKYc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucuzzX66Bh
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDMVwkW4zq
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYvzslVxye
thinking about.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjuJsiBcLa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqI3Ftq4b3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeCoU9QKwi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF6GxHFoR4
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n7spobO76
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa3dE3rFE5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJv5sVbvsc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwSVKgn3yx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyVWr3iTis
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA27oeH0S8
brother’s face.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80nBXB6Tc1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKYOf0AWwU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBVcQnENdU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfPS0XLfmd
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrXSo3TWbj
at Oliver.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXZyIjF5q
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRMX1ZzTbs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZ7kEDVid
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpUfSi7whd
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGLreU7jq3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF8G7V7Xu8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWkUxUO4MP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkUmDwn8Jl
“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6QHtwdiq3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct8ye7Ze3i
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtj6ntYudR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhdVPw97sv
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5fsBWL2E
heading out too.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNbJm87l1L
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfpZ2LojAM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgrtED8FLP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34klYIky9H
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCi4GyA8Et
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vrqgewdaN
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlzKlzUraw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0d9D5V0CP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJwWm31Dwf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oUkGwTnlb
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ82S6YSjug
way home.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLRiAiqK2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunSsgg7Ncx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKjGiz2s0A
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAplYXgdJF
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimZoWZdNru
here.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOocEo3NyEw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM49D9MvDxG
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n6ZqEwaRa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJjXl91qZX
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jTUKPEX7M
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50jaAfaT6m
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXPoC6guj5
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lvF9H4Mvz
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZqfmblTAc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL7xcFdVwm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYPIbZlF9Y
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHrP9ZRhdP
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrcJncH9VR
little longer.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWcmZItnVl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5BIDLyDc5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44m4Ai2cA9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaTVfr9y6o
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOsO85X66Y
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLezrzi6C34
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpf1tmgr2x
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDVmOUznl9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRo8rMFQpD
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5bJU8uFCo
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYXyAceE2A
get your number, Angel.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLVWHckOr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklG3qGB4XE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyflOaqjLly
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbQS02nKp4
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqldEqTjXJJ
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxtwBFm92P
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZRim6gAtf
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ccc9MkI4o
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPNsNF0Y3N

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cAhD7t1ZD

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHUWYLSGJm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreA47rOuUn
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RdVgnydLx
difficult.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMYSRFgTA1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzKmBRjhxI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQOxE99Ox
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinVKvwklai
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix4iBlgueg
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyoOarSB07
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdaTDf3Hz
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzijouhjbQh

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUcghaApex
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPOnShKSqu

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt8RjCdfj1
much at all for a while.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI9oidYfRR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Hnghwhml
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN0ecEUvsQ

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3gBj10pG1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dt5hz3WIL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDEEFbTs8f
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUonkKqNpA
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxljdv3YSC4
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXoXIjQVeM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Wcb6qIhX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uTpIjbyKt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg53GXSoFG
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaR1I2JTjr
home.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvIEyyb7hC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbOtKngXoW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQuL6uOktO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBgpsoWmXs
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQi2KG22rt
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1EviqjGby
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MN8ePDhbG
Miranda might still be around.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp9jM1yUuW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykJhATyICt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5GxQ7Vw3x
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ0J1rsrST
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ3lmjjwKv
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PqPd1EWVD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVtjTHj8Z5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LzTDDT0ia
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaIpvsGSYj
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzU5nVvpqK
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9pfvgh0v
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhepR58EWlj
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF8Ai6hv2g

“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgILgFFPKqE
the bar area.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vz3ymcmfH

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3LOjtivs1
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNDMhmCn17
they started to stand up.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT718CQgisU

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIBTfQsKNA

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LtfsKofxp
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVXtJlkvZP
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKGjfhvAGX
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P6exJysTL
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX17RiZcje
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU7p3DUwG7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7zz4IKVdv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM7AtlYDUz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPodbjNt4Y
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfzGR8cD1x
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TSp3kuipI
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeO2gsssqu
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKisqR98aJT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPW5NnobyK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97HLAFsRoS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt8RmmIqac
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LXX3FkP1z
seen us.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6yDtCllXb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPy3tk2Eta
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb8mtffdu0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjWWJUrA2E
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqdfzjF4QG
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvnadq4oqZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHqg2yNJlp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTKxJVYE8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm2jQerjDr
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBSxImm9gO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LuwiN8PdH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd4v0eAADp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii73hOuN0D
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvLuMUeYxi
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKzz36Ci7v
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaBsx5afhM
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxbqBXwbTl
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXgJbWXe9A
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkc0giK9BJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYnGziwlae
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbITsRbdQ7
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNvUTTzp7i
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3iUBWtZ0z
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeStumlA49n
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89BhN99uXu
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC93B3rNcGP
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2QjLbqn6Z
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMTCBHvV60
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVhK3lTBG3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsOpDqy3cI
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57WY6xGxXN
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25euZM8w25
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdxj74FyT1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZuqJGXBGK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LkxpLNMvB
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRauhQJMWv
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4oSQ6OeMG
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkpLuHbxYc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OBWqC1BfB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyE3V9bAbS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1diHm9qI0z
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ4ufK4DN1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rmpYE5FsT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gqbrnioAk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXAFj5C8R
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvDGEnM6uN
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDSbCUTrNA
this wasn’t over.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpackuQnKR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4camZdIXBa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JIC6FnCEj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfzIiyH3gv
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuWO36Qnl
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbLCtb5F1N
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcRWadHolL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPowzURbHVW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEVOwIPQkj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsNNBQ6nQ8
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqgKadZ5Vq
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1E7SATyvw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQUCIWfpZ8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdbjKGlWQ4
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmqzRUrN5G
favors," said Angel.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpFn5fmgh1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J0oaRVyCL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYV70HhNGw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tQDNMqYic
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDII80yGmsZ
they been there?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62iXSWQeqh
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ikoDU57LS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMmd8174Y9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf7plTpbBs
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtMyn6Rlb
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL4UDW9yXO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivn563R4A2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v0wZOOe8K
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecOZbszReU
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO0milRkJN
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl6mxfSFz2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDAThl75IH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLmFxh0xud
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWFRlCoMEY
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBnxd6CvLq
so you've got to be careful from now on."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRhJoHaGrj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEwrrQ5Drx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzjbVXjKio
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiZbnbp3bt
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDisiluvLH
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpDx41dH4R
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBolU1sePP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFkTbdAszY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YZFcB9BcE
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpiEzuUuvK
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrF0NXOdAs
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BvDSfv5Aa
night only.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK5zXxpGAk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO2Q61JAa3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLN1jWuAr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4maFpoGUKF
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PL8TIrfuy
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyaOgLNmTI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wh2lega9N
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fGF50gudX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ciqy8xkSH
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsZyxI3A1
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgmnnikcNU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iRYRBNOYO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzouC1M0byJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadRrfpejFX
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2g4VEHmso
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq1YLZK5gf
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rqpfnSeYd
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEFXynxltx
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0OQY8GP3r
want one?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPpc047k3v
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64fuw9hkEx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jaZPiXGKu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIQSjDTqYO
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUSwkOMuwi
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzxgt6lvZQ
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9nDbirupr
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbpjLqsxzK
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4XOhPXtva
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFr7tZBg7d
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAKuUi7v4w
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8C5iZgZnd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7O5ckZZ8I
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJuSK15KXk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBFnuZ6qW
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXBo866odX
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB5cBhzVYj
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoSEAbIvBJ
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViWEXWzCaq
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV7lGWyOSc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJhnpARQmC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnf6sWJL0R
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGspjthUMQ
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aG0TMEtsc
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFFoPMxMj8
relief, it was Walters.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaggyiZS0t
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUJfIokz5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg692grjsPa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum9Up3mIrJ
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9OFta9Tvs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGu3FapXka
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6ZBV41Ah
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOumldGcqK
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmedUtsq167
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eMFEh8GVn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLDU8QGSGM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDyKI7WLEP
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb180twrptF
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6X7YAUqVR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMK3GZfaxP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlajD9KO5MO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5f4xwg3W8
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1tmvth9yn
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FADrgsNj4
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAMPBx6zPw
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefr0KZGQTP
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZawRBpTod0
Lion?352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ89r5aL6n1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDofLxkcqEp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsNqOKBS7r
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzVyPbAWVv
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY9a3GTmNn
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMMICMzVKI
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPBd2OUDTm
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizYKx8HBeH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GGzBRkGrk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApqJoqMTlS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH2Dwg8bP0
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXFeMlAVE
