“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQvnt3i3C4
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWbGa3ktNz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj04szFebfZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZJqvIIgt

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx07Vud16y
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRid8snKR1P
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGO9MnhTch
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInkrqJYapw
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOMSzUPgl7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsQy55FSPM
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPKl02T8E
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wgocx1PVN

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCR47Am6Pp

Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tqqcae55s
want to say it.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDfXrCgqSd

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5m2OFwIPb

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDNaamcqzG
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq7Luoazzb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirgDATYKFS
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k5FdCOFLr

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4cDdWX3QA

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWlcGDc2B
because that’s just how she is.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MiPrv5mxl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dbKHH2Gvq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqkHX37X2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffTVCO9JIb
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpz7BCa6Uo
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2OYBq3Xn
your fun.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM4mkmO5Tu

Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonW99Py88r
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kxO0Xrt9F
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡran9Slb21P
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16CTq7EmMK

Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2x8Q3O2sP
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ok9rq3E3
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkDz5i2oIj
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioXWCtCxe
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaD6i2FHly
that they should join Angel and the others.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP36Tl9TaA

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1thRSHvNuG
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqfbOTPNKp

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xm3naYvrH
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndmQSrhEmx
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak76ToLE2U
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbEJYajMCc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6XFusuhZn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYkaagUKBE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIIxytZ1PV
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW5BpnvLUo
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oRyJVuGCC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLPYE4gFwz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIO4TSQJvL
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWgFSNWFXt
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG14JAV4e2r
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrB6Ti5dNd
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgqk6vAMhO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0XmzCgrwl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMJfekwuMX
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRVpqrWF12
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbf0abUNYT
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2r1Negcvj
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyxQ66AJyI
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDalxcvmCGl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QpdtWv58A
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhHxjLEiTs
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMlO3997YO
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsdc3E9Tct
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZU0PsmRa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNqgnkLnky
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8FkUKjuvh
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDEsuZsKCM
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6l6YZu7t0
would speak first.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLyKTVpYk1

“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcmzi9n8nk

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5XolLjk75

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3DglEnarD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeMALME7Yf
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmey8WwWRwv
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg2fnoP6po
it was hopeless to do so.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4L0I5LINh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4pVKZbYTv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQowwu72xk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR1vfZaHpk
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGgHrJkUw1
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb6yc7vP3K
Walters calls.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRfuqAclrY

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZN28YcEy9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ0xFvUnqN
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ6gAHkAIK
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrCYHLQPd4
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0KnCahv7A
minute.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6mIKulHBj
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoyanQYCJh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulUDXe9n2C
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdHhgXPjaO
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3bMFgfQfE
door.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPChZr6tWk9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiQLaWVE3n
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIXQTE6xRe
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTOHV2cqs4
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5rBCjtMhv
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGJlvHM5gT
any moment.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw9wtAVm0G

“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06oMsZ3s7
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh2oEP93ri
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6UuQmat57
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzm7YLF8oV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuSv1OGrdu
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBEkzqEDUl
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbndSU2m2T
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiVHKiZsXH
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbusxA9TSTb
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8oM1fwuP9

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJuF6rNx6M
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YoyCpB3GG
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSlWhDsFBj
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivWTf3nKBh

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhM67A6T2A
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb25ZpGXoT

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qWLtbxFit
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOBjzVMHg
Eric and shook her head.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwoL8k2b4d

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs577rfjAl
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3GgxnZCwK

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudSvkB4pnB

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ006eEsLCiQ

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3DZCHx6K
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9G2WpKC3e
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK8hjNyx2s
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1cBBorouO

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j7MxIcftN

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXts2pt8kVQ

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DakUnZlYQ
they all burst into laughter.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6SA28u0kY

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCxf5BUVss

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC1r0Rybxv
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vWTUa73PP
out his hand to get a nacho.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpGjKTKVYC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45PMC2Socm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kfrkIAhOm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIS9qhE8E4
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzXxjNhnXl
afterwards.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrEpHlRxVA

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zdVXT9dqH
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4IJKR3Hko

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ894LAEWFp5
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZpfTGSRfr
the statement.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpbE6BIY1a

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknQqXVVwbT
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvFKytLkjD
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS8XsDgNzu
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u0Xf17aQ4
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cinaeDGy8
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPUM22fFlk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJm2jvaGW
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGaloZziA
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJF0YcG9l
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYtR6hlVxr
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzETDcGoPUK
elsewhere. What should she do?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXA4eCSQ8t
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzwdHSHq0k
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpLtyJBOU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiO4bN3yG1
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLp9sP45lm
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqBkobMG1g

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL1RyeenR5

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewYssVd54Z
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqFYedGa4x
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8UzpKxq59

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiwssNvKJl
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg1eoOHSJb
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PCvC6861N

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvbm4HJeht
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ9WZXzylM
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgHPrKs2Ls

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ylSuFqxn
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXm0BZqarw
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxTUT7Kwoz
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmn4bUDFf8
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyb1KoHhy0

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4h6h2Ai4w
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPesVEg6GQW
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oQ3WkdbVG
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bJEc6lYu
counter for a drink.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLpiSzeAs

“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPwl7Apucu
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2o0Qja0aM

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ykv4xk6R

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm62si1dUO

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQwpzYwkd
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs4Go7L2ba
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH6HitRyWT

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWzOOGc3Yx

Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fi3E6307o
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK1ZwyF0ff

Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhEXE2obNa
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CfltSnfDI

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9rdJCG4bn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv2MlrunSI
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q2670qL7a
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIiRUhe0vD

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQi4rfs6F
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XMu15408u
she didn’t even give them a second thought.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4H2aMj8ow
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSE86F2ce
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT166azQ5v
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPkmQUL8P
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI4bre0b50
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SXcHJ171U
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceblZ500P2
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnrGD0Fqwq
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfmIvSTIIH

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21RAZNNk6
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV0hCkbC5n
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjB4vCFrh
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhbyjpMuI
she wasn’t too careful.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeh9dYH5GL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mn31aQ4ge
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OUJsPGuTO

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7HOOpo2Vk
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q93YoEUvw
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp0BQgHHdt
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO6y2tI4Cl
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk9aEy4fGP

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kAIOO5ItV
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQj0SjDbvo
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSaeYN7EZV
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1UTfr1Ods

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEsAye7v4
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFS31z6T4P
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHTKhdNNIz

as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq8ssrfyKz

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9UuCFD1jf
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10B6qcITlH

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW6gTbc5Dm
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn9aZGTlTR

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIarhadMlZ
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQPD1G7yBx
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdcpPnC7hw
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfrlsUhu9u

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOeI2060FC
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy153vulZp
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkS4hg6SCs
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGfT99TnK
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAAZsZ4EmC

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu6eeVCupb

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YWeaz7Hji
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ul0nIzkb

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hodGQQZ2H
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW23vmVMyF
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkIPj0t2M
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfXWINLwxd
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkcoLo9JOS
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz0ttFX5Xl
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHBD8QmNfO

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpVvRZICx2
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrtIjXCIvC
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtUmwKz5ML
though she had woken up from a bad dream.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pC2oZ0MXO

“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTkYUhY2K7
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvdkZ2alVk
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTYX080V25

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZljMD57xRw
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyczjc7nbv5
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAUENbalcz
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju1Tirowpu
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKlEWbbGS4
herself.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiJWKSa68i

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lTDretypK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq56uzyjUu
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIkjnhP7Nk
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsDXIEe6Ks
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtN2DZS3Ew
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJvym4CE0
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3iUik0Cif
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDyzHz39N9
notice her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwQSa5QaF

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7BionhUQy
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0ekL2NXlN
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX9oeOAXst

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYfgt8zaSJ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwqxFSD4Hz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lgKg2ylkI
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BcjMfgC13
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8VedKMUuN
surprise.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7rYFvsIyx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GrhWP6RrP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW97Oyh6giL

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NVmEteyEa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAITTRbfyF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrHVJwRBmv
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU8n6Zy7VE
“At the candy store.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIDbEU6kPe
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhDMSLZ1yo
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUztrZthFI1

bumped into that moving shelf.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKxXf9lclU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHshG7ETsq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjOtPpaCY3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpIbOweJOV
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIHfwr8c4U
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8rO1uo11a
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI05SE11dUV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC0G22T7xZ
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGYX0gczwr
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQyMm79tY
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJuIJp83PP
forever.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGy9CrijAM

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3a7Mov3ko
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG1FlQdXDs
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjJwauaJ3U
their conversation ended here.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87wXwtQaTF

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwLhNcgeZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM8NZ7E6BB
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppR1QDGJMx
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Sei5ZTQU
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iJ8MeYerW
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUhktmKZkg
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqk6mG8TJb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut4oApjbrl
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDNKYwyXI
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBQyD08nT2
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPFA5bc04Y

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qa54TwTP1

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslag1N7HW
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8u2DEWiqj
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwXGHQIxlz
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7dk0RKJiz
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcRMOHUnTb
leave, but after she finished her martini.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21JiAgQ0hg

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO80WpwVCbs
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OtuEfuIrb

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUT0UAQ5aZ

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJYAxpi7l1
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw25jAWpQFV
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3mFOEvbI3
Kim’s shoulder.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOsyU42Xur
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAi8kpWYYv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPOzdFmVSx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCCDoPSicd
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl3WXgSRL9
idea. We should get out while we can.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXFsaQLwyj
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwiBvUv0ZV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS5czvRPw0
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIRcG2KXFs
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc8yN2vSir
the conversation. Let’s go.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbXRMQKHa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFSXjeUtj9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBASN06elU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9HmGH8rVD
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL14imGUNYZ
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ohas5PKE0
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn98PPkbANX
were able to see Leo’s table.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46OfLFfbmP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEblzFBaT4
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EPmJjCZSY
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOsGZl21BW
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn73DH6Ejd
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha5PtGCAEO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rsE3dBvMp
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdBnH8EaE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV1sgITUwd
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnennNs23Q
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0H9RxXgob
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyXbhtTtCf
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX53oY7qRl
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9UgptdOBi
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSHAvPwFNT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykidhA1h8P
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENPjK9jJec
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vUAyEbYyY
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsqvaCsDcP
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JlOp42JUs
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRkX3uCg1D
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsL68Rt98P
counter in anticipation.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FB5GI79XH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRelKNErKD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq2ZGDZ6nn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JP1PSq4T6
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF5oVcNHkh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5KwBhHvdH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5sEHDK5rE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1FFXGIE67
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJqpBCtLUQ
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIBxuQPv0j
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeu5h5cOMI
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYPnoXmKFB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgundqyupM
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YgZ4It1KM
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPcmP4k2p9
head.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbw2S1XEIo
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnZe6uKCKA
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUmmoe6hmk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzIik2KxC5
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwRHQgfuu5
not at that intimate level.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgIypRE4YT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7S7ekMAri
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt2qXhdZSm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO35PmQ5fil
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJvuLtU27S
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGrpO92CpK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyWeSMBeYg
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfQaSiv9L
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ7d67OPGR
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9n9vAgM4m
he was being friendly to me.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkkWE4QgJ4
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkLRkp28di
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1TJn7GNRn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzofE2XnNVi
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn40LNRt55s
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQrcTiTBfG
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRINA1Duc2u
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1BliudkQB
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dpIwoIIzQ
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8HhiKT4zN
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiD4omNHq7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw014a0mFL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD4VV1SK3d
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTxr5qUuzZ
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm3uqUoPb5
counter.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbTIJYkuTT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtYVhe2gq3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhVumxOASF

Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ3NAWKtFT
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8qrRyvwXI
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g3UnFhTEk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEiXBH4Ufe
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncaTKmxeNP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX8tjS10L5
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXlhwtWtrx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmCNfKv7N2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjewqUCEq3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevac5o99qM
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF1cF75LZS
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTcI758KLS
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBl6lTIA6U
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT10JAGTjgX
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsDkErLHmX
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKfGshLuu
that was different from Carly’s.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHzrFqTFDC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfatt1AQnh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMQglX1KvY
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ1ixlQesA
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi6lzGs6nM
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqgOD25rvC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPNbbWZUYF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouowygfT1q
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPStQle809W
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Al3u8h53o
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC31OAbpFhN
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1jFEGq2AI
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcd7BDnVQA
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLesJUqwP0
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPi4el5DVk
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeqXXgBMMY
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwejW8Msl13
doing here?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF36tXaj92D
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnrFwsUcmh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5y3JGUtzE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5NJVCF9ZG
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnpYSKDUlI
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P9RPdxcVz
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3N4w81hF0
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxYHQc1fa
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLqKyv34Dc
surprised look.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgG2L8Kz0K
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9jemsrtZZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZSJjZxVB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo6kaqckk2
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRushkje4P5
get her attention, but she thought better of it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbifCMoE9OW
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHuvPuN5pH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52PD7U1Ldq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOb1l19ade
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpt5OuFkb3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfsKJhd6ER
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ltuxCr0uB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdriOKazGw
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiTNzsTmck
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHpZi601b0
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6BrE3j1u1
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXtcuBPVaA
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXRbUrCnmH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELByEQeNxj
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEEzuPv2qw
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpTrK1wRJ7
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEIlCphvcy
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmugavV5AXj
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2jOeqpoE9
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4x2WJsGGx
the table.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHxo3co9E6
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7BXbEdC4j
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMqgo3XwgX
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcucgWUYM5

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKZMIB3xAL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVI9TDvpA
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuvECtPRR
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWQGyo3r0
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcbTyZWfqV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfafRPxNKp
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht8QCWyApQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04enMKUQmy
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnLBaipyUB
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYj80ptW2
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPfPzlewjQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo8qj4sF1B
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTfIg49dfZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90IyBjVqc8
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIBQGO45LS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOhP4yBri
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnerve9JuHO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLI6ykHr4m
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksBXvz2Dlk
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ssZGdl4z
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdgCfpYEUc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFfD9kLP3E
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAlCahRbhm
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkDHZlRflt
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36cnWxvfHw
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVMaIOsR9t
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGrezxxTDQ
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTPxMwn9X
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uTzNfFpdq

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYnCW2Pb18
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLV0uAMzZU
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbRN2YGIJs
said Marco.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2m46CQpuQ

“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkgSwZB6ez
more handsome than you.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxsLqcfJAK

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeAI95ne4K
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ666WyUUJnN
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEnb4j5FE
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozFrKkcw7U
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap6TNQmCOM
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGqRllbrbt
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yus81GpZc
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vwMiXOJhz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7s3Nj8Zsw
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ghUjGV1o
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwA22TPIPy
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HlIkELf97
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwzrt7OXbE
thinking about.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJcfjsGK7K
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfBhv21NGz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQWGjk9WoZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR2JLxEyK9
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNIw266QTT
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS47A40F3QI
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG29RqZUpT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF4whieNIf

Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3JsBc0NC
brother’s face.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqr9JLXvwv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkybFqRA3E
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNHPQGj2aF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnH3QGFNBJ
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gUPv95gGp
at Oliver.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbqOiJiRRC

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WyU5f3ZUX

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0EhKL3hbd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VI7Lyk2CE
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwbg9MNSVc
heading out too.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMwMzvCiBd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZvW3kio8x
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdRMDMRfpv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V51vEwkEe
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPyTncozhT
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1izqvnOkK
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WMZnmIay6

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU3vacMeXb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnng0WrcblO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03MBu7m7j0
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5IBy4fH6F
here.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F4GEUrGf7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlE1s4ouHz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsaEMEF832
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt1M0DXaaQ
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnXachFfyJ
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97XgwGhmkT
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rZsQBetCO
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGn6NnOW06
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyatCJkcC01
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonaAe8y81
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNDUqWDkQn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmUL3J7oep
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HEoc9iLDt
little longer.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS1U8VwknI

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVgdq7H6H9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1c6uLAe6B
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo2U97p9bI
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65NEiZULfP

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp89W8iw3K3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYDwYBGlg3
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOucs0kMEIa
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY3jjJwVMA
get your number, Angel.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wx53kpjT3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd1SYC7TVa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRdjRUuoI
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmkVIFqf6f
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgIIWf97A4
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyF0V7kEpv
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU6zcj9kA7
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5HAOXUndx
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfA6Z5P13p

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM8VoTnzCH
should do this sometime soon.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpBn3rOLav
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1YeRrHLeP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ygpk92IGL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcSkYynRml
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyxh7KE6Ci
difficult.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwbMknoUH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYDfpoOHqj
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yemC15yep
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe6ge34uj5
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGaEEmvXWC
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVaS4uU1M
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Sf9Z3U8l
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8esZaVlrN

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PBNKRdOmf
much at all for a while.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEk3pwDLKq

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPtERPVF3y

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0TvWBmexR
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSvyIY5Fa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVbMERhK2B
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjm1hJFEen
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQr3buWR63
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN2Yjp0czE

“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqU2Gh7xpN
home.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM2x7Xnlnv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGyMouN8LT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMwUcDY8lz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA1swdmnaa
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJkioYtpnA
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RV3Pr0y7O
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGjLrWWFYH
Miranda might still be around.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlUFTNXDN2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xoEv0FwXW
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OlLssFzhh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq7LRKvlrF
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4RQxuGYZR
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YyamfhmjJ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFhZQOdADE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDdHpFrZqD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYDxTgZUs
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwbVERlcD
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuHt5ZjZ8c
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtOnJuLVfK
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEwXKfrb7d

“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdTj24OCFD
the bar area.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXtYw5VqKo

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJmzuxU7Gu
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjVmgIa2F
they started to stand up.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hENL0NfU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKWBjSGFMm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheCKx1nbj4

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGxQGyF6VS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh3HjsJY58
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN26Qe2OvEA
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPukAQE9aT
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62eFulBmYG
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XP8xSJIlc
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCjarKuRXV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwPQMjdAv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDY2KidTmr
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdy6y3mmu
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle6G2q5sg2
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50B4Gm6nyG
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmP1FvyCtI
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhk3ovLNvQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mrHqSmEjV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38aNDyzcqb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpdb16eERy
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOnIF5T8Bd
seen us.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNtAlTqn8N
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUztyAyt8U
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZphW5QnOL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d4kUYfu0e
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAgQ6D3TSh
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUANpc6rVHx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P8nqiMEU2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlNDgOiQXU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyELbJMrfEO
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPP4BkzSrz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYHfjcPnbd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CvBRKkKWs
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVduSEl1jQ2
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDmwHGcgbG
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP411zoI9Gc
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlVl2IE5VE
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Y31WR2ek
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyCBvUgjnU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8my1seC98
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ITYFlRv7p
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4B954fEto
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOY23huz7j
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH2BhRfOF5
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoAgEqUzj5
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8u3l8Rbur
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafPf1FDrT9
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsFHQJ7GWc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqipJN9ZbnO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgfZV0meO4
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DnLlLmWc
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJza6niNee
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsVFna84re
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMx1hFxDto
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VPDWRU02V
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJhz9aWks
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0MnBZwWoT
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu9MzGRFom
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCennhEpsEn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEGWxn6iFF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT576S75ZaS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI48QWuWSPw
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hbewNlvtb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xT0GHmEOu
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVrUyBGqi
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEujDDwwg6i
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwKJemlkiW
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ze40H4Kgs
this wasn’t over.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCzeuSVtTc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Oho1vRx4
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAk6B39i9k
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBNFLtBNI1
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL2LNUL8ej
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuPgePBdZw
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbIiH3Oj36
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zjGwdra5
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3OmmwYGol
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI2zB8ed4a
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wiw7nsQxH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKA9KsRUxu
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq0rmAnFex
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifcJ82rbMz
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwgs20VB2U
favors," said Angel.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKevs77MaF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJT624xMYO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHX9B3wxaS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTluxkrm77
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tV9KLRPXq
they been there?"414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6TESMoeMB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDeaogTJdz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeopGvJc1BS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZZbyGfCb
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmICkKNzf7C
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8rUymE2ad
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA0N8JP67a
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87urb5W1Oj
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX6hYOq6Mx
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKuCVdbJn
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuvZyJHxM
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJZfpdADHk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQOTGtCLj2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNvbl4YsP9
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJrhZ3okj6
so you've got to be careful from now on."414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkrp7bAtj0
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOay4zyMry
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimkxyMSFYZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJiVbCDUl4
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgouPGOKC9E
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbEqIN2BXy
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCl3owGkz9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMUZTCy9Fm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxJBemayCW
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3PKrKSyjI
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdeUem4U97
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1TqDEjavU
night only.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCijOOvnQsn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLiqIPdR2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5UxFSrRUS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlrkX7qRB9
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnICjMXjF7n
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWahuqSNpXC

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwLxBvK6Uy
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gVMjxdFA
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWEjsUzgF0
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhemJNy9XD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t9UJW4IT7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmDqnJjE3g
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWxnJODTbu
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyB6m6TMNP
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsilOu06hPb
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdHsGLr4Ty
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rdPTLXtZn
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxqhD941eC
want one?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRRM5OZg7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKXiBiQIq8
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnbHc7Igr2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngGAil0cIO
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYR5zYHCCo
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEqNp18wUy
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vpqWNXoZS
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZpFeS13Ps
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WlvI27x3u
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSITko43fxE
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEcXt63kl0
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnP7YCtJG5

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3qj9vlP9m
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IP3kzczE5
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wweVPK3BV
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxWkiZemkN
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRAYEMRMSf
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQyCLshsw
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9J19uvTe
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Yt8aR4Af
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77e65fgXpW
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTe5rSoE5I
relief, it was Walters.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mcr8qU30
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv0x2y7ddd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdGtkls7oW
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJCJZtsfmY
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM1lXa6OZ9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUWeD5OAw2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXDxDiPEm7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEdDn3irTk
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAfBhXWwLV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpoTUHmrq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwDYAIrckn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7n7yqagu
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiNRZjnFDk
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Tq1SyUoD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcswnseGQp
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7lQzqPlZY
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kW8m3HvyY
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z7LriE59G
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hVZRMEK1g
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRH4VanYP
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05vXMlnBHU
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu4VcAPF1o
Lion?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZrHheypfC

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWy918OuG9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Przr3OEXK
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw5mo1ZKYo
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9cRUa1wG
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzZfuX8G3e
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTsMwrOWeR
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnVrpXGa8a
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0pvaZtHPC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExxHIFW3q6
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvLoDGsRoV
