Angel was in the living 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkHcxHkuBJ
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74aTmFunf4
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe8iYCjk0j
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQBNQIcDfx
"How was what?" Angel asked.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPmJ1Q0R9s
"Getting to know Leo?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL5qTyKA1D
Angel could have sworn 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oDThqMSnN
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTwUJPivYH
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3PQEEzh1u
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymIXLP1bT
"Really?" Amanda looked a759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk37KYpFysj
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUQSnucoVH
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzUrZ4TILi
have offended you?" 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uwKL59Fec
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9VoSsAoyH
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBrZkRg8Q9
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnwlQ2yf8u
"Awww, you're so 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrKqfAXnzx
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI47G2fJQYW
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbWLhlDHHe
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dhRLpnCHs
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pgOE5uhsM
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ptok8UFql
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpuiPXuD2s
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNSn6ewjJZ
Amanda gave Angel the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAg3QTN5gJ
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27qlPvFxMb
to deal with writing. It suits you."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxechtqbyUK
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpNWfhouF
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3OQbXzPsc
"What is it?" Angel asked.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bGVf2H7Y
"You seem to be one 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTnwNC7sE3
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItviT8pl6T
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZtNuLiwg
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWMAROBmX0
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeF6AefDhT
"What?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI732v7Y4N
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqWzoaGAQz
Leo who had just come in759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcW7j9BsAN
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WDSgvHcuF
just at the entrance of the living room.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNIHwGFoNT
"What did you just say 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNchL0yuFEg
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TgkVXpBvp
the two women on the wheelchairs.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHjHkit9XQ
Amanda turned her 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXInGhu0UY
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9vui6MSH
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpro2j3knr3
themselves."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EVAeCpOvK
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTXbuF9nhx
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ceoPJ6eMp
Leo couldn't believe 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyZclTBZhe
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1BRhClFmS
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOau6INoIo
"Haven't you thought 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLSeym4Bsh
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVPJKYm9jR
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KfKcsGB60
job of her own?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75uboJR37m
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjECYE7IZV
"You deserve better, my 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjS6QwGW5d
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmCWWRguOO
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qaGenoKBg
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e1Qih7uCb
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhVlZEAYqE
"What makes you so sure?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZKRfrH6aV
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvEEBTjKE4
"Mum won't though."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8WgYhIcVL
"Does she run the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoPUlhXCoq
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF7X8YlEFZ
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyxBobjAn
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH1yrGQnUE
Leo knew his grandmother759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJReZs8WWf
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3QgLtMPxX
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EDpoqJ7K7
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UkEyTkWWn
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AnWlzjXjo
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX66QXNCk9
"Don't say any of this 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPml8HTi8C
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhw76U0nWp
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZJx5nSwB
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9xQ3IiEI4
have to convince her a little more than I have to."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqDYzPw90r
Angel gulped. It felt 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3FY9gaDlc
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXlLkq0bjd
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVhUPNotvD
Leo made his way out of 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkyZV4deg6
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCsGeVlum0
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RXcDTHRus
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjQwQ9KxVg
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NvHmJIcIQ
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vfzW10uWR
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ8xJuhom8
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYWrwPIYQC
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFtO1hsnw
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLG02SutR
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj0nrLZ2se
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNt9onbxPV
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAwDHK0M3f
"I'm talking about Kim."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62khKBdwgl
Angel didn't know if it 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYaFsZVIoz
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqxHVhN8vz
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oTDCpyv4a
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkP2NBhXBw
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFpcCJ4UKa
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRCRKuxIN5
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMtQc255XD
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBwm6eBPCn
certain things?759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWd2D9fm3
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZydBLQMDm
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao8QCbAKl7
Angel felt like covering759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphNPY1unZN
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuWX6NWThp
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIZMtC7Oa
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0075NdER9
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGzEeL3W1A
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFjTEeLKLG
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kEdt2feef
Angel felt her heart 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8qbszpVY9
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ3rbtHcYv
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392QvYmtFI
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5oMyNUbWD
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Nie25pt5
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDdB1B4vrj
and invited her to the wedding.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhFEaSbWlH
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo90jMk05t
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VamZLeDFR
Angel looked at Amanda 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52rxanLdCE
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmUm8CPBpl
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQKndBRrcK
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUNBmOJlGk
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCcnLMTJmi
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw996UHDLV
saw Leo.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgWCT7zFiS
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7P7zPLtrs
"Nothing, dear," said 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IXeOEJsW
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cNNt11LJx
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi9yoZrsCh
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzagrM2GbgU
"Have a nice day."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFIE9TpUn1
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyFO6QxXKM
Leo nodded his head in 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb9v06HbI5
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxucwdQygn
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8S1GeJVV
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5nfmbqO9g
through the front door.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGvrN5Mvb7
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhC4irgaGk
"You're unbelievable," 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwW1y7vSJl
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamAKpGS1Nx
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCKH4bdIlG
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzF0CvxwNf
"I'm sorry for that, 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPcV1UmTaH
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2gTcfkXKv
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQd3QLAv7m
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSkJX9jTuQ
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIkXcyppr2
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDYRyurRn3
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWLsOPfSYJ
Angel slowly followed 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGrRsMjDD
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrQ8GrBJmY
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQESgYaaF9C
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27PORgrQZ
must have felt awful.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQPaLz3sA4
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jF6dkXRQy
***759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgHBjF3U5N
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2rf2d2zZ5
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5VTdGBia8
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AGKvJ9POy
He759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xDKpNcaKx
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyMgEuPTlS
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI7QSFYqcv
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJcQuQQeT
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Q953UFTL
Since759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyPMqrI3RK
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDLPQJG0ft
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLH1whtnS4
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdJlw6lPrS
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC80FWju7j
Who759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQW3Comfcs
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIBKN9Rvvs
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38lIyi1UCb
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgWVu6oPHh
He759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZZdp06RpO
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh3l5yb5ND
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI3tgYvfZ2
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWaImeCuHB
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkouxCkqe4m
"You've someone here to see you."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpKhfTXxDS
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbxUneEOpm
"It's Trina."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCvBiF0R3u
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBqWVWfhOJ
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSqMh13oFI
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRJxgydZTd
called off.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7SKftc00N
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPbneNVN4r
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgsxUfsaez
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSkNNW5vu1
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUAdTU2O7q
Trina759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryhhc02E5r
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbamLf5cdu5
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJzNLshI4
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMTyeb4MOe
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjspZ2Fcp5
fall out sometimes but still get back together.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkOZFvavmS
Now759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0gr9Odiq
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JFYuAWBVt
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkEUsrQRzr
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhnu8CMIq7
weren't friends.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnT0SZZQY5
While759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpPp5IXSB
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAXM67zkTY
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPef9yKtTu
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8DH1VsWYq
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7QMpsaFA
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpE8JbJUzD
One759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHh1ueNUGO
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDS7de7YHm
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgtCDtbrwz
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOIDbbK88b
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYHDI6ny7V
one.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLKqMcxzut
Not until he met Angel.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fCuE29Gm
Trina759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolun6EEhZc
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ3Au2rrve
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qZA6Mjjtg
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeKLocAEdF
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDueRyi8rX
Trina759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKT4wsTvLM
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj44UTnjlw5
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd1M8E0zxq
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeOsAIQdh3
beautiful.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOEQiTVlRj
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxhhcmLZGo
"Then759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBF2ly04qG
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUFvTR76vW
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE3gmli9lh
side to try and work things out."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jWdKbEXV
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4YCeNt71l
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWAFVSP71m
"Ya, me too."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw9le6UtRn
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bdybwHlon
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIRFStdMxe
"Do you know something, Eric?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhl1Ja0LFg
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DbTiceBK3
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIh1z1pBoP
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0vPZuBa6m
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAYs79EZUr
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAPNfD86If
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s1ItNJbhB
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x7mr1ZNlN
eyes with a corky smile on his face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobV5pqK0N
"Please,759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OBLFqqTcs
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tQYCgwkFd
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEa33fipWD
ask him?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpk0ag8AFV
Trina759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLbf84aPtr
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddRUBufYcm
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU0Q88eZgD
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv9GS7UMhR
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn4LnlhU3U
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8HBkHJzng
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooTRaGsArP
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBrCBSMbq
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0c5BiUGX3
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcSVkncup
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOJ84oY49V
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r5e0ZFhYW
to say next.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ169FiLoXtK
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh9v3kP5vJ
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRAe6sNuJI
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbU844RTEq
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk7VOL6Poq
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcdaRNNYML
"She's759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW9UtMtPbZ
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2YjYwQYlC
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhVTmtBtB
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Zm9Dhf32
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciknaMAOgM
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fNAuglSUB
anymore.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkDZb1E6Og
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH4zPYh372
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvn24OGV1b
Trina759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTBDTHkFEH
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvLlb8coYI
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiillznH7Jb
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxDAxIWBd
massage him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L15ljQuBW
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KlwYyCwb3
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImXu0X5CAK
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08soicaxa
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKDBUVIPR
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlR3xxOsMR
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULREJgSBep
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzsND4Okgm
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjaRuEjMB
He759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6omfOBOeG
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGscxrKs19
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDFJjcXhzK
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMCwWvXITU
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5enBSo7H2K
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WSzGfqwmH
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MI0yXoaLd
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttJsBwPgJ7
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJdcvcPMA
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9BDhOTA3k
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VEMAH8Am6
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzF6iGluGj
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVKJdZyq3p
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bMzScjaWk
"Oh,759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPil7pf8Hnn
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSweW1Vbr
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIp8439SIN
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbGf7pl3vv
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfaSoejeoL
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrzV8764N
Trina759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeeILguJLD
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84LPWfnpNL
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtk2e3dTGT
Leo759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ZmSPQuk6
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIo1hAFUSl
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMvPFrnRC0
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9IUm2GuX
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWmkf0eiZJ
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XSb1ljTLh
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u9PF5ZPqQ
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI49JqMQdf7
"I was just leaving," said Trina.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52YT0BT6NK
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYZdNClok
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA54nrEWox
With759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbOSk3xXJp
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuJtSReJNo
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqciK2KUJ
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4WwRPbkwF
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ZdoBaeLa
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tirALCXS0
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IWHph9Gn
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUabM9bh06
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwUsMwVWFs
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbukk53ThOP
"Well, you would someday."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EE1Bc4yJg
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rTRqZPtnm
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLLHKCmM1R
"That would be fine by me."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QzGjhKNqI
"Oh,759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrZibLeVgg
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV733OH6uPN
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbE6uc6Pya
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKlqvaNkcG
you broke things off with her."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ri69WVvH
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkmeaEuoxw
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2u95BHtzW
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejtqKDNQQG
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2kM78qDad
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyWBHoGzLk
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8kcBu6YIN
Leo759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5HPhJh2lW
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfePF2fypHf
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFHfta8ErA
her.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PxxY60lQE
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmogAmume
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1fHIxgoRx
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1ACbkDZwf
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3oNf53oir
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A1eDJ6lkA
thinking about Angel just now."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DSA2LCrll
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOYQueLtAD
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwth4FcQ8Fn
Leo759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFBSvh7UhA
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8kLnnvI0v
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD0NgGgzHH
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvCAYFn8FT
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AGmLD2fEU
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNyYuQb8n5
"Because,759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeK84XJVuZ
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0QPEkPqc
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlXhYgiJMn
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHpRi7VEjO
in a sense of emergency to release it."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWJ5W0YLs7
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb33AZKePM
"Of759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88s9T78ef
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhZwYyvaUY
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHnpfjJHj9
darling, Angel."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkHwf0VSSG
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYzOBC7aCw
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQJ1JCDMzv
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNUud3cWBk
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ24BcRoUx
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw6twSjecH
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QrtTDCp7c
"Grandma759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJroLG3ovGG
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qfz2KoPTH
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVgJ0pmYL4
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pjHUjrXx2
Leo759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO7byOLSer
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn9Si8EuO8
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyoiqnTADf
word to anyone.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcaokfhhDK
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqX1A5gmOj
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0KNCbq7sz
"Yep,759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1c0rRLxiD
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV1hTu8CVQ
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW9p8ccqyK
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPyCiQIlo6
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqY9VYQMnP
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPp27hIh3g
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cCyCGKsWu
Eric759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScMStyz8Uv
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGTCRNmhc3
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXrJruMSV8
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxW2t59Ztk
Leo759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrbS5gpisM
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KEeEUd5bj
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3UFMnscY
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl28O2S3koX
He759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeo3U6wcGA
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ917bFCVdUd
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAbJ8NPOZg
desk that he had to look at today.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p2KroYF6g
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZSW9TtM7A
Leo759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpiuLHsFiO
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtwTzuSLwK
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS7zdo4XmH
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
