“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ceMAlDiu0
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AzlqT44F
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTX22KMsx7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuydC4C7zk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAWSN8lCO4
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDqDxj4b4d

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lDItztJVv
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX4v8wimvj
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU7nfy6Yh2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfSmUiBx6P
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DD9uQEwJf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPpPsjouyl
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJM1IlGOGS
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA3EouWWI4
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxLd7NHy6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP7qaTqY1I
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe57ZaFQGh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO2yEhhTFo
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQL13UHld
want to say it.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnmzF328L7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCtxbUm6mV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqVjucQlzx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwsN9kaL5h
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD26euoeHP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrDQehIhUh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXWC8q5EFP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEf3NqZ9tj
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc2zvcazD6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKvyWA9pPi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5hDogAJbZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKtWAxHRuj
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGwfPx8oZW
because that’s just how she is.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNZjdWPfrJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKstjSZELb
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nXuuAcHAK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOrx7JQP8
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY89mNUay4
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy0WdAlZOp
your fun.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uNcPptNEs

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIY91eU5t0
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sXuhkmgzl
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZoqja85Dx

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp7Rp4F4bo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTPb4tAVz7
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYouSPIWmu
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoUvgE7y5m
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFFJGGKEz
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYyV24RTNl

“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY2lakGjkJ

too?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowyOq9bErw

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlRW2i140R
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIn0Wut93c
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTo2NGDyMg
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDv9m6TlSm
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwbN0yddXg
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s8TnNck1s
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CxE6pijYy
that they should join Angel and the others.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh7aIj6j9H

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR16AFHFpen
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV16oML8AM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEDm3CAdOT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU6ZVaIjfH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJO5IBeHKs
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIWwolXXoX
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiiUflmnP

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLU12TTPr5

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cWtp5MNDL
tired.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxCVyNn9I8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGQZUb31v8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMIdYgJlNY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IiD4WZW7T
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1IJajX6L4
a drink right now.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuayrhZXRa
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVzT0qHdf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT608I3S8I8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6LWHCOoar
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8nH6ALvJk
their sight.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ZcyOdsUi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQmEALWgn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDMKuX4CAm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr6dfedUoM
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kk57ouV5D
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo72TG2ziY
they aren’t at their table.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqNh0vi27
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfFaOkSFdV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNvWiyQWbe
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE7IGWtxAV
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ54VroDC1V
the counter.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSyYGyl7hh

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmWLnHYvoP
Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfvl4npLMg
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ291RL6dYLN
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt0xYelvUx
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTUgA4yNYL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DxGTA0HE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADbzKvCg4w
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJg4TUPe9
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXdsTueAN6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36drSkOTg2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6eCUXIjYP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa5j06cU3z
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczoKehYZnp
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuLYlIQNDh
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlIjMaH37f
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8e2Vymutv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf3XaRvJwr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzYXcXr9Ya
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJuTW87WU4
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8UZzgDzYb
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JvU3vfSt3
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3oNivyb4A
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3GPzEjm8M
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrPqqpL7LU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuu2k8VRSx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw5eakyX5y
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡregeKSLQ9V
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlBnHJim9b
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp3X82c7OV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNgWikZP8Q
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZIVoik0kU
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIGxfb8Qbp
would speak first.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUR5F8bOqE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfSlPDuq5M
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjRBj4m6QC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9a8E4KstH
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdkzVYXXnS
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgslchIMcRR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QdGXy6Uza
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg06fmbXMFO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY9Dv0pGIq
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdobRcU7AW
he gets here. I really need to step out.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRbQ80rIkN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCVOYXpcrv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZKSDJWJPM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpfA8ZflrV
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFQCEstvLv
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPkW364xC8
it was hopeless to do so.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1uSdefU6g
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOC1ZbZIJI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8VY6oQsWO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7RtEWO1Jq
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7pTgQ2DE8
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RCgApYqIe
Walters calls.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76XxJEHgfz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xa4R2uCVr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyntKmHEtoY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa54aYDuVJp
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXty5OJMw9
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkB42lT6XP
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR7p2IjrHD
minute.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5u7H5geTK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCoYXHOcjY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeupBZKcng
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt5s9M8Sdk
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbD1swdO1Q
door.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkkV41rqf9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU4jbZBiD4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCHFbGFbpP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvNPdvFAfb
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W1WqdzH77
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqheUN5XjD
any moment.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXD2SFALm6

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m5s8R3iue
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MG0VQiIWG
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21B9FqqThK
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNRVVokSAi
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI9iQP2LE5

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDkt0uElp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWvG1dqXQk
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqUXLLc8kg
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMJAdXrCh2
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl0AuxvOkH
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5qkC0vDmp
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS2FgP4Iz9

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jKEWobQM7
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2NKxQNofM
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLXtpooJRa
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisy33vDmJZ
next day.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iMNTZFulf

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuN5BRLjH3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WcU7tpDN7
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SkF1UwizU
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGzeWU88bb

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCuvZPuY7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvKghnZzoK
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGD4ruexWg
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMDT2hZOwX
Eric and shook her head.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOfJFTLaNP

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQZrILA0iR
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ner6uswn
thanked him as Leo sat down.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNJGjWifK

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWn9k1C1lP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfUAhgvDe7
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyhOn0HpIh
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvpXigpRqo

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkWQUnK3bW
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79xBz2O1MA
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQUTtdVQa1
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrxR4vTCpA
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zEBqKhUHS
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtNMe0wVcT

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ePCKb8EZ5

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaLFIfmxGJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5dNcms6I8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZPgfcDq2J
“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fAdguAC6U
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbEeigYnDD
cheese.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt48Tliz48

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvHscJZGrR
Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZNIwHsT6F
they all burst into laughter.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6lI3Wg02M
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZFIJDsw46
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4YmKVDmoG

“Maybe,” said Eric. He tried his best to stop laughing, but it was of no use.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aemulrDm7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqMjYncX5
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJCqnIAwm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwEPyQ1L1o
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT4KKNGae7
supposed to inherit it, not me.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepd2NS0aCh

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeCYLtQLYM
“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2FIVyXg8P
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqGKHz9HPO

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdemI2rjP3
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicWOWbGDtE

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyxM0q4hyh
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Z3bvOHyS
out his hand to get a nacho.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkoRQfCOq0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIB8za2yQ1
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhkrDTEtRT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C7jdTeHHg
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzajovP0ZPZ
afterwards.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmL8FLWQQN

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyVTFGeJ9X
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E1f86M0FF
the future.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hnlpJgzZ

“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuc5jju3bO

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6VCprzQBR
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EPfPYbtAU

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTcFckNpGX
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxyUAZOuPR
the statement.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjprAFjjkF1

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRexXbNOeY9
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70TdjgG2Br
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeik1Xdoc1
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEzayb4Yqp
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gDRSIoi2Z

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrR7vPAgP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlS3iH4iiZ
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCTcbvKbv
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA1ItgFD7g
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bCDX1ypmj
elsewhere. What should she do?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUVqYqUztv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbDsQQt4pJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iSAoAxNLE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7nN5EsNBu
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUqhFWsk4j
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUICqarXfW
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8YqCDBLnw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyg1dw4Xmv

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLNZgckfA0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZuelhcD5L
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKucHanbY8
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qSi8ebuGW

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7hhORu3k2
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec0XrEnWJd
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gZchxDHEq
necessary.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u72NAY2mn

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0QfwhxCOR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6s3Edt95W

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJllm2bSAV4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Yx9xqor7
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6YxwVBaFs
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDwa0Fom0d

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQZWBUAw7e

Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvLNmbjYFp

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujiGaUQAge
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfWLOakyw1
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwniS7gdq2
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuSTDNUnA9
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVC6m0qvvf

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs2XV6Skd4

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83z5Fu3tUs
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNV6bFZmA3
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux42C1vnfB
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWzh8Cn66b
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT12iJzqzM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbXBTN5Ztr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfKghkB3qs
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeJupzBStR
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVtLJ0zZ1a
us.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlydZhbvSoo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8ieX8ovy
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdY0NU1yov

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRImUQ4RdFD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWbfuylz4K
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV5d7TF0DR
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41oeSfWqai
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpmQTERPSl

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqFJFLLXid
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv8q5LoN4m
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv9nX7o4nv
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEn4QHbqMR
counter for a drink.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nMoUOmexK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePMUSdHp6p
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wviXokWIu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P4ftf6vjG
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVL6bnDoNf
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUpKeDrVpN
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkvEyuvL9k
has.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz07J6O779W

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVztQJFC5cA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwP7L0a7zF
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBsOzcHduI
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OhyYP17m5

“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGEt30TfyH
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxvuKj39Am
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YqW1S2TmD

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4igPJWSc9c
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjksTkypmt2
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7cmT1bqso
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesghsTfbZA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGEMikPp7b
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr5rdFcqpG

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH2SQmGspJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3odDmNH7kB
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHoILez8q
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja6K45wk4c
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAVbo4Uv3F
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2te5bcVFZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN0KSTPHT1
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKQlcstHWD
just as jealous as I am,” she said.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKdRPGF9Z

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8C8mNoknn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVZrNgQStE
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydwzKilIQe
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQHEdOoM2I

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUxe1UxC1r

Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AFXXT8EkO
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFcVNgqXPk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTvCepszZb
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiyIMPXjCm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOc83zvcPr
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJaQkycmUM
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjfwSRUctn
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72y7iGRwbQ
go of him that easily.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtxIEpmJY7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZBXjYaD1o
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9UxWj0EU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zQZYIxZtr
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FoPybxhKm
was going.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJRnuvF88R

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC2wi4zQp0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcmDNrR2V
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKItxwJZAZ
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEZZEe2syN
isn’t going to do you any good.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlrorwTkHz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwShoiij3b
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv9VjfOFuj
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oTXUOefZn
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQZWLjOQ8
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLJg49gXjp

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQWUcd8lYY

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33N7ZHdPLU

“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fsVccUkn3
your promise after you see this lover of his.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG4wHB3xL5

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoPHKgdRFu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2EzdNQOR0
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqCLFjQKBY
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt0yE5KsG7

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8L58hroE0

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9YOxe0lEs
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAj25Vp2WI
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymajw0NUJ
us some drinks.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkP9q4XkHk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLyD67vHRC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhNxeg0zca
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttsCrvCWPi
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarDqBXhZki
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfKGPPQOTG
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOxtsDQFPA

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64SRnSYypR
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1rmlyPDjn
she didn’t even give them a second thought.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ySVA3a2v
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ub0daXrOo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJLSp7NlbH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dSTS8XnuT
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjnfy9W3x
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTO86UZz2m
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKmttygwMG
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkwqE8JL5Q
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzn0o0NGL3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWSHz9Oinq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrjr8KvgMP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq8A7deFyD
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIRYBmNfxO
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CygAZrbfx
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lUpmRnCgs
she wasn’t too careful.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgFD2NWvv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetBXEcyda7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGLyxinqfS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmK48ndPWC
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla64Xc2B2R
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEMyhoiz9t
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfhCGYDFxr
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyboEzXs0w
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLULovZeuiL
things.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaX2XyqB7B
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJxjMsla9X
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjksspXSw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMSrokaH9o
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIvRMmqWjw
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcrMs9OUBw

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVPqtMkcmb
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx269C1gcg
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGwCJtAsPB
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpspkJOvi9
her face.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkeoOrIe2l

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP1u8fwh9N

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtHehkeO3I

Marco, "and we meant to have a nice, quiet family party. Instead, my uncle249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5M24KH3D4
brought in many of his unruly friends. The party turned out to be such a blast.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZkzbvlmDZ
He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmd0DKQkgF
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxtHPbJ1Ja

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAxUsxjin
embarrassing moments when you were drunk?” he asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBTGJUixkY

alcohol.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOwL69yrqz

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV43cPnc1j
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbuid7cbb2
Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oTLZNHzp8
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxszv1uAf7a
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z5Dd73SLB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQrnz0uFF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMCBo68qc7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzzwxyyr8E
"So, Angel, do you take any alcohol?” Marco asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqHIDhoccq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa7LHb76HH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTxHMmkatq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd2jQBTDky
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXMGOzcChe
on special occasions.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZP5Mn202c

your preference suits you.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4EzRw3r7t

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmxuUgqZ14
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq8D2apwSL
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxykDc2mC44
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTW4TwO8GV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq53nGvtHFi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlm9lwlmGN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7xVVOaBol
“What?” he asked with a shrug of his shoulders. “I hear people who drink such249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOMIQsqZwd
are considered classy.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8IO7r442a
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mEb6Ndyz4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX68GCCDZ9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQzaksOap
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9WyDmSYhl
they drink,” said Eric.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qWdlb8rSu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xiTeerMUj
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnapGaCsy6s
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KGW4YtEph

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKOZWuroLg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclByGBt1U2
Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTURn0eBZ9W
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy33flRlcd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Cl0tnSfw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FOzxWfRg4

“I agree with Oliver,” said Marco. “Angel is in a class of her own.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqSkDDfh9y

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1k8fai0l1
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIYTKd1grZ
“That’s being too sweet, don’t you think?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslhiADh02
Marco.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqGCM5fWtt
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpPl9HRx39
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRt31saled
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7coKf0h8u9
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3muEffJHS
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuuGXQdZzv
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY6XVpOa5r

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWTIZUm1U9
Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyvhKhwoN
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tv3w5tHn4
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6JXAT14Zz
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0jk6Ga6Ks
sincere.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhqiOLYhUx

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtINgXXdC6R
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhMg30VoE
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UX8okvnZr
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDGOChci4F
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggeBAoObki
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqNI73bkfz
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQEdRm6uHx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXQvFSlR1N
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH8w24sW6q
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGERspWSSs
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr4KmxU4fI
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc6tin21hc
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mE3iGlRb
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65fKTKTbcd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4NbFy3hcq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj04abc1RHu
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vOhOev6QY
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ETpeMNrr
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlubHZDdJL
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8suldy7J5
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA9yEEt0dd
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjMBtVThjg
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuojxnhy1NK
for it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGkZs55F4G

“We’re out of nachos,” Oliver announced, bringing everyone out of their249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKhWkS38zH
thoughts.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WfMcWEJay
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwtraF8dT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FC1xwTO8F
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hzEYK4hD
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEfSgAultl
really needed to take a breather.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwRgiHrUrI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc1MRssJiP

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q2aiyUCUT
Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD91ChKKYiP
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgZI47sut
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYJ5mGySI
though she had woken up from a bad dream.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR8sObF0qC

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTqgWedB8V
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi3UJQoUUY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQO6BdK49
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG8IGONyFO
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEPdbcatLv
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WeboBAYgm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF4nO4NUWa
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0qSligPYR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm74qZclkI9
Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLm9O5DDRV
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwYl7QqZKA
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70uVbEFpXC
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNM2EEXWDP
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuCbCEcQq3
herself.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZw0Rdk1NC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwgBfD6Uhs
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhdD0SNp8V
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt67DdyEbz
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylZExJGcfM
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcWuQo5J3O
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzoTZ5LPao
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZuLOt91Rp
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbV2W5Ygwe
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2lgyn4VW5
notice her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywdTdt8dF3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbGkRAfY6e
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKqJITyaer
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjRVAFo0Ix
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzxllMejRV
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcHA5ua4AP
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yP5QnwNh
own business.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuLcM3vXiB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEDIHCzaYr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81E5Imy4p6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cMlvLeruz
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHgS2J8SxQ
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLdUOAmUwU
surprise.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBuGkWsKrm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ983WxwbEI2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6TTHdzmOl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tCsRKOuH
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQvk44hOM4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvefZvhy58
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdWdJuR93b
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsawTSQ165J
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83sd44ornX
“At the candy store.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJdCyIYeN6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8dchFl8wM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUygA5a2sO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5IXJZdgyn
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr0tKKLoWb
bumped into that moving shelf.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZw4jEhqwx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKm9Fa1l0J
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKLMxnNPYb
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPk6KaGLbB
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN02Bj7Vy2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzpT6K0odm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uyeGBmyGk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVglisY1Ho
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlu0Dxs4Ko
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lkM3cjiRj
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9wE6terEN
forever.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5u9CJVX7i
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOR9UNLGZP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB4a0CNJiR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1rRjuUwul
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk9kS8kpJ7
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44MWkcrtxD
their conversation ended here.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuzhc6Xh2d
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHg3L0bNtS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbONYUsAfi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbdtCvvWpq
“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iKvxDKOwm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewjIwUEdy0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv1TqCTUBd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhhxxywI6v
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OHJ7c3hsF
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdVYotpzIE
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqzldMQLM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrw6RJUUhk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlbAc8UCbI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld0dhskerJ
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4bVzJ40yP
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaED2ElkrDh
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvv8yfqpgY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oXhx8Xx48
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU09YBSwkOi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExVAlfWhLM
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMvwSZJEsF
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81Ej0hEzs
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREo4XCCnx0
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab60qSuyyd
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMIkRMVMnj
leave, but after she finished her martini.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtkyhEJdgw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtppcwsiEx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAYeAf6YsQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9QeuExrlo
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4VIfymFMC
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1pavMTJGE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrttvh3DV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOrKTitcfp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqJqTouoYL
“Thanks,” said Kim.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbz1VXtkER
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAPgqSOMCI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYecHaXyaSF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaFT5Qxpy5
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI6rgu6tL2
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgCNXqBU9C
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLJcOsTpu8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NUDZHEHSq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJNcQ0PS4c
“I thought of sitting by the counter and peeping on him,” Kim suggested.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp1Di5SzUs
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7yGj3qeRE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35U3bdosSK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqMQikIeu8
“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTjmzX44Lq
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlgi9NYqjs

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8RnS4u55Y
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RYrjDwRtm
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGZibqu5d
Kim’s shoulder.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJCQRUdVyf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNafZ1fNNNJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBxm8TrzTU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSATlRXPs7l
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQZdgHVtdQ
idea. We should get out while we can.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoQ4I6Ombw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTSlRi5hB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGqH44W2PA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3SsPFD381
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1TXwwQrjf
the conversation. Let’s go.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuPDsi4i3J
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFiw3vg4m
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9McUCSmCU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRehsXJxW8c
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoQzsyXCzs
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENY2adB7MX
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa1cPDJuSE
were able to see Leo’s table.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOtcIRxDjA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzoGLNXmTP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uXvYUG7PH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jnSp6UlYn
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5hG2IY7a
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Fa5VZjPd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPogB85cbxc
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonO6wHyXyz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnxu9wn3WN
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlkovoJdNi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhemvL9FHt1
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgsGpEU8uj
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdrtU4qdmT
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryve0qzPmG
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshQQr7aDKf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY5dbgkrKu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnsOzj10m8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5mc6FSrAH
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDSWfu7Wiu
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzS7Yu5bv3
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv1GAiYjij
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULJ6sdYHTQ
counter in anticipation.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxHb7KRImC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBwNmOAvHl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBm4FOWAdC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVXGuIfDWi
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDzgV4ZDN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j30g0kEo9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEvREBP4DC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjvSs39SPH
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenzZVeFGu9
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOyZtQiW8p
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbG0anSlDI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThZCXyp1mx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjWPiavR8x
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlHUmxRTuj
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ahKeMgrz0
head.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Z6N3Tonr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡackJD05m6w
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEDTLo3Znu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TZSWL2LU
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5pzVq6NJI
not at that intimate level.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2WZtSHKpk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ts3t9vfl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZHEFrbKpg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmJe2KvLFr
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVdOwzWObk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHWaPAcfhN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vxOuGBeYl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKxrgpUs6p
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX37SAbN8v
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxioCDhphyU
he was being friendly to me.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOBEQIrUUj
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBenf1s9iQ0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EGXf30k2v
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RqmTujnlZ
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡracMLuJKRF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2LsKvckR4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKySjgWywA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ks810nq0G
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdD93zvgYn
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9hrbKEkU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn265yNyKeO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5r3KVmMWn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z2wxNafAT
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCEsbypSJc
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWv5kpnaOd
counter.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfZvMu4LGS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhfmUjkHrT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWkVkR5sQL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1YY24Yd8n
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Q2vUcC9j
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0sxdVb9Dw
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYw1AwQjT1
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T2zKOaw75
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1DIGDNamt
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiCX8nm8HN
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUmF9K0f63
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6icCBwQID3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZESjWpaV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHvekXogPO
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyZSj5aN0B
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMdw3rD1E5
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGKZ3a4mZd
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowj7hav8a9
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNYzpwXaNN
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGGtMqw26a
that was different from Carly’s.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZoAvaoAN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI02bBRXuC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnET0VKi4T
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMzgLM46zl
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHs3HpyZ0E
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflx8kIGsok
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUSyS6y3g9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy7VkTZAbX
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB90dJDWiD
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtAQLWMjH4
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwzK7INrYV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEfmRIVVlJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJdGiaOKRL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXnMNZfCPv
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLpZAnnBu0
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACD0LiAD66
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzuC7yCu3k
doing here?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVQS4Po9DC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8rOtKiv8A
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiqdjw5kMA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgHmkQ1vHw
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7aQNzpHm8
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV78UVEjwL
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe40moI4bOT
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfsn283PcT
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5csF8H8ZIY
surprised look.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuXyxD0gjM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxkFZhS1W
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQHRTgpTcx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmGm38EFHy
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdnB2OBS6F
get her attention, but she thought better of it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjJCMyshRk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0oE83rru
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZeEcOCwGZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGdtWwz8si
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoxl63s9UI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYX8RsAceQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aJdO4U5Zk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHvwrGosAF
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ35vNHM9sE
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotos7fqof
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObzsrIVzaK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PqmrHEbK5
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t93bn6ugm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiKb8oEleN
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx6q3KpQgG
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAo2yu1mKq
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixX9oWkJF0
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJopGscAMRH
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp9GYgvodZ
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0rNnXQaYB
the table.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPhhasp6T6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dzT5uYFTn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tS18edQpa
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zn9Sj2STy
“What was that about?” Eric asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YoPxt41fZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjPAawfX9U
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNJUnhQqE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn2fXQStNQ
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKYhS9h1b
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwy8w2FoYf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GmGTta8ZS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8f9odSRlr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl3MxjnBFX
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp5reeJV0X
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMwTgXPMIL
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcT1sjTNBC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ptQ46yDlk
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYRROQd49q
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhqNUG8OD6
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNjXakO3cf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZMSQXYgle
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxGV6EoZ1H
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TVyZ0xrGT
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGRNQaHzll
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlXWsHftxG
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1cjsHswey
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzj2fYTMCi
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkNWZc80T9
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1kyl0Uu3p
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFRYF4UsfO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsBJzaTdhT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp4CJ5RkMs
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSKvFkimm
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaHDnHqtAV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcol24dB1J
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfIkp18nIp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9p5HBT3Ub
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH0xNgkTbY
said Marco.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyhzMveXuS

“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuQp7Lmvlg
more handsome than you.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SwQEIi6s5
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHv7f0nIBz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxUGVakAGu
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5PxbMdSIm
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EW7SbikLX
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReVSH9NeCV
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYRvceCGx9
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzceblIofn
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6zTJAuNfc
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTEavtJdLx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxwrv9UXhV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJpSvLFeSV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQu4cQjRk
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD2xkxAcmj
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6qGWXOHTd
thinking about.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecb5v8dVIF

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhpk0SOuNP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaA91CFxsI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTqSeqJak9
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcgyAekdy4
brother’s face.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnNuPzdbf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1DtdnBw3r
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ZfHRN2Qw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx2Jr2EJU0
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnjBj0sqDH
at Oliver.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3G4S4ooYv

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXMDpTmhYj
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBHk3ETqM
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLtMfGacdL
heading out too.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWarAZ2G0O
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLxdxXKyI3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pEMMuiAEB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Hx5d7POD
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8cEcVNd4Y
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZEEGDNv6d
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbygUeagzy
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLi7rBsRQO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9rHn9wdKd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBol2ck51gf
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnksjcGC9p
way home.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pY96zSgl6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHC7BrSoQr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV7Jy9NG8N
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdTRzIuZOv
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VEa3J9bQB
here.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG19ewPRpv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYSFdiVdn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLzJBW7TH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhCPw2T05v
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoeohzEmsl
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02aQC85ApX
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HnbkHYqHF
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zyliV4y7B
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rcEdhY5AL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboXTQzD3Lx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnvWeWGzGQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUcbkZOEtd
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUJQwvXuPZ
little longer.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRiSWGf2kq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe0xBbKkoN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP54Q80io2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5nEQIaUd6
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnSNePdrNN
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMFoXjUgqH

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQAM8eKa4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JWyIbU5e5
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP59imM37jJ
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopccCPjqF
get your number, Angel.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwuvySWpLC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb5UYnLYGY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtRqf5nh0i
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaB0PL396l
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0bYUfJk3I
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp66IdcFYU
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa7ozf1t9H
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQB8DJyc1z
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXuWUVXytf

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs6CEH95LW
should do this sometime soon.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJqz7tvjw8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I78akkF2T
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCIxKUytFE
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SXHsM4ZdI
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpt60gpxvc
difficult.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcemNaRYC4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWKBP6R5N2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnigdMEjUto
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWxaX7BmZ8
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOfVcGhC2s
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ2ImTcotX
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAtFCtcj0C
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPa28md3wt

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNOO24P7SP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPpv1aI2ZZ
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHhw3xBBxW

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmWUF48RuR
much at all for a while.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgdgPyFt8M
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsPhrzJvla
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyySbk1VV9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARXpg1T2L7
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3V92WCeuH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjetVpw9WG
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgjTIzOrhl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fwseXFDRe
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAiiprhnSw
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv5NdVAGS0
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5fShGYqkL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Q4fQzqUv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOlwT67M1V
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZsm7dKW3L
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8A9kLLpW8
home.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsJeUH5pZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZg1L3t5H
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap6B8cpK8c
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy61dM7vJa
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMlPCT4f6T
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvBSbz99Ka
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VKht0iNNj
Miranda might still be around.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WulCgawfd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEK6pL0Zyn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTeGQ1OUrM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKZXaPKSpF
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimkqkdw1kD
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4mjW5fwMV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3N7qficqO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWB5pIxsf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tn5kBwTfK
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIdehOQNTt
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHKQ7GfCY5
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYzYudn8kv
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOviRm6nMPJ

around?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLDB94DIFH

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJc4uGoswA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4pweg8n7
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqDrzr5fUd
the bar area.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pr9fuVo8g

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjsbMb6NL6
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkKarAUA26
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UXlecFeYX
they started to stand up.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNLr94Ra1R
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jlIiAOp2r
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFzNHp4Vwv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3xzxzfOT9

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrC7BM90kU

“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZKX4Gmyig
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlPsMe9teJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFknMtTsvh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLE02VvMD
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlZ2ysXW7l
see.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQli09CRCH
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJkePRARzz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgvPgOVs0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMG4iDciWw
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLuWE3NPZK
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd3altotuZ
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bnxJ0YKrR
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEUirBkSiZ
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVYPRrWIeN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jfl8mWEcJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAFttSN6qy
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKhSAABJd3
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2vbcEasm4
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwp74TiKx
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc3ur39bRa
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6z533a6Bw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzSebxCUIm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTijNoNtJD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCZ3umeYbv
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD4iqxF0XK
seen us.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUynU8a47B
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieHbFLBiRg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmynVB107b
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRUsW9CErv
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR8riNPpaw
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3tiOZXBz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG78sS7L5f9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm3Ggtr92J
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRokzW2EKB0
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ETtKnayF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LSvQLRy9f
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJDuZRziU9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkmccKbbco
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TlM8P8WWh
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp37XR8Wfp
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrKoa2aYaM
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxl4qlN0Nb
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0HYaI9jwt
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLOrE4jOVx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xJ1mJZRQD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkoKG7xH5P
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKo13uyiF5
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm4RNlIpxd
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNJMR6Vz3M
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jSvuEED9U
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VGK9coo6
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUVmyAAygb
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1li7SM2bC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dky5jlGp9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MQxl2IqId
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UCHBaC8IC
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMQWrw97Jx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8dplNcwG2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIaQO6MIsd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4DYcro5AR
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitRXclnqGy
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2IotFnYi8
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJquJ3uA03
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquls1aggQg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriuacP1Skc
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKlnzAtxNJ
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmnACP6Ult
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2uvO96J6U
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP93wYiSSZh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGV5jvHTL
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLx9dmI45w
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Reu8VAY5
this wasn’t over.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwuiEe9uhB
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvnmwWojHF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYLwMuLeC4
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrabsqxWoZA
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDBlIKvTfH
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk7NbQE1iz
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O9XLTeiRA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfLm5tHto
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ezPUME4e
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqV7MdW5K5
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNERTxXUOZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRfGaNFQfR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gKKTtsAZT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7HUSUoLW4
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UXsWX8rzg
favors," said Angel.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY4m6SWVIg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Jp5PRQTY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cGsRTeXF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtMQtDxalP
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapZpj8x0Or
they been there?"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd0bezdkYF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgAtQnNJ2E
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnfIkWdZfy
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zQQqYQzg
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5a2HNtsuY
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKm8HgDxYg
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTwWPonrof
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuXnaKPXTq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4g60hcFpC
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBXbwrCTfL
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfz5vWccE8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFM8bz6Em8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbm4nm3fr6
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf8IvLapoy
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2N5lC9keF
so you've got to be careful from now on."249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMAFGAMkAM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi06ykGIJK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnFGZtTqS
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYePF2e8yM
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW5jO8jBLU
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSF3mVdVqW
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qj1Gz43iP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGblvw1vIH7
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjckVCJGoRw
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fckE0V2iJ
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwbM4Oiqyk
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC04vjgxYyC
night only.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H91mt9rwU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQRvvBwZ3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTmRHlGhgG
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyQx0cau7H
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl08Qncyuh
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgCcLCwE6x
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsduCPNcNYQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhiKuwaeMO
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKroJk4do3s
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7enDTCnO3
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNVSvRV2Wf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3YTspktI3
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9hPNz5Sh0
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwToLnwlLzF
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxPZeKfXw
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VHUkQRavL
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGV1AR0MB
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk99h7GeCcH
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrcUvhSrDe
want one?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdNiwF6McX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QGcDH6ZaI
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDWEWkhJZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhxaxces8N
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9LdnCBm00
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tzu9aFvwj
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNTos0xGI8
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZHFkQHE1q
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iwmMusKLQ
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIem7CFmv3l
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyZTJL9A1p
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9QquHdNxf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eJVVbrDJV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtNtTM2TEw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi56eh4naf9
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt2ELhqHQV
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwU8Aem8hq
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHGMfiBBq
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPdZO2YHWr
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQbGcMlg4h
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgc4or38h
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7asMNvub3G
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvuSPj4s1P
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGusWdgH5Jl
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rKlOSRFIZ
relief, it was Walters.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eDVMq0UUy
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aq8YqZMOn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R0dwGQmVc
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93cV60paUt
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqleSqVHdyP
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZRaDI7puv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydXEcHkHSD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgITBMzfwxo
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6p5iyp9vd
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIzX1XfsQK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzUBpLjLX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmMxmJ7a9A
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zIPq8kWKg
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvwdxeYRmy
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbcXH4o1H2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICiKMHorgN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfniRDQ9G2
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLy4kk0zQb
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigzPdFAjD1
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasgmfcDgim
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigKN9hIc8y
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv2PRp3MzE
Lion?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw1NMYEaTN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPywRT68Ht
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSo41cJov2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCwW70OXMp
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ96nzMyzQx
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjah7Z7ow3
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGKIEU6kCW
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28PAwbsMYe
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5MafoOtH1
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3FxqWmtuK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6eI23Jvv8
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Y17PWkNu
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFZJrn7uHO
