“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Nt4XTeqr
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuo4BV69So

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ83rMyH5f
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNK4lu13zi
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ovo1D9NBX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf1tKLsK9p
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaRPbFfoHC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUFsawjjVS
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZNH3NI73P
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyRyiHKpEL
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynFIwIg03g

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6UBFp3z1r
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JfFlJzJPo
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHN7G96Evr
want to say it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsmdNTuBkf

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQEd70OgLu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44jwyd95KK

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO8nkMpupy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN9AlU3mz0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaps5WpOYQ
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EhQWelahE

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq2NkfeNCI

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYSnU4I9tg
because that’s just how she is.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uQ5LLJ531
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAAyxvUpTj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAzXpfXFxH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx75FYT712
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcOQDfWMa4
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi32Ra8ddl
your fun.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokD0bSqvz2

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1eWMAqg5E
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0gvj7decQ
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KnkwaUo3

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9VPoimJpg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9EPkDguT0
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ag5Cf50RT
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQOluFDupx
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAU9XdNS2b
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05C0A92owU

Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLca8tSJ2Gb
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWNBmIYfhI
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQjVN7NRWa
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahqUJv7Lxl
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOYqTu5kcL
that they should join Angel and the others.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxu8E1EUDV

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tgn6t1yll
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0EBQOQVoD

“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnijdaEqM7B

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvM9CEMKiD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YrTyrTF9S
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41aZswckaF
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFimkbOqfkS
the counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r4tHwyU57

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54pMQiifln
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacjl5ca9Y
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNiagu7cYY
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eTjsJWicf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aa0ujxHVb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYrhd36taR

She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa1JNi6kgs
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPOK2aDZOn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlJ66oculd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNipprji0t
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDMUUEK37X
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5OFPZa8Zl
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4uQb5eQ0P
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwfg62uaNw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qekuhVYC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaNyzMsQuR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs6cSiooe2
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl5fB80uAf
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpzTMRljD
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMlggMMRNB
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0E5Hn54O1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7zZpJpQmn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmLrUwDx7m
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1iz7XLENI
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKFZr5I0Gv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHOJvAFYBD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuvadggU1d
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvygJL1ZQS
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvabkHqVEjS
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6of7FTsKVG
would speak first.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuDj2AymTz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGCDOGfkLD

“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGukK4haDZl

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWipMq96DW

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9koeNOywU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbbb6kXdv
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkMrJCaQU3
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLw6C9hFxP
it was hopeless to do so.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLV2YoR9Zc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oxq0AVevs
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOZ88VWF4N
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoTPKZ4SJD
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTplBxo0W85
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJCJr33WBl
Walters calls.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFFSxHJZtU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKATAhYJYXg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsTWDKe43d
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr6uCyRvLD
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVlqBZZQs8
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap89H9939B
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcafJY9Cw7
minute.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzswVCdAID

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbM7ydj0Q
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1c71qDb5H
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9VXIdaUxa
door.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNHVsztIM0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT8EiTM4F9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b9VqAZQ14
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfTnJhvzB0
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMwU7APMG6
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp3Fa8vQ0V
any moment.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb9d3wC1CK

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDEjmq3yj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwQLh0UplO
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRksC1ZViLj
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXkH8ZLeKL
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYCazzvYuG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaogflwj982
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZ4GNWQMG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qKAzzMXdc
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hvCTTg5wl
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwHgKiwi2W
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbnSBPCFO6
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFycDeKlW6

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbsvDN3dM2
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZ2q3gFgs
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqEdK1viOC
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOmdv42RCG

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ3iUwDXwE
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kyle4rMg0

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruFWNLJjaz
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN9dBwgd8c
Eric and shook her head.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa91Z3t1HNx

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtoX6FDX9J

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwi2RRc7AV
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykgfDooCjX
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErSxQ9qVrj

they all burst into laughter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8wOPUFFBu

shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEN5QZr9fZ

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpkfli0IqF
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO8AicBbgs
out his hand to get a nacho.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVhxyuPAAX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVgxASS7JU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuj12NmeLI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14ISlHq5e
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ECqnUyXQ
afterwards.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVhj8gB2D

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkemLzmRpm
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrWo47o8D2

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCMGgdpiJm
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2t1ojlRw

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjqQgLgMdV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc58wh5gUC1
Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3AKycweak
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseHjCbJObP
the statement.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVjvul2dmM

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbnpp3vYwF
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNheSaRx6T
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyR9RFEsB7
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc93aFkJEZZ
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCFenMTYy
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCq3VsaUd2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgSFQgyCCg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdpqLojU9E
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8mbeeKdWa
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AMJkSiO3H
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3euCm4qYtY
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyCbfkuLuW
elsewhere. What should she do?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U1TzHwmq0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDGzRNJCJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFowHmZ5l2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpublWtuRMM
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhZa1L0UHm
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZCKIYsd2x

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCidTlY3HFo

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W151W2NGu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMVGnrPN4s
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1aItuLNrs
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeOh1bZYY2

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdp6KzfA5u
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxFJGvUh8I
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm40d3KGWqN
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGdaku9dCx
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCyc9NuxWf
necessary.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHXOvTDsqm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi7EdvS9Cr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwyF6WSlJQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMV1JtDfYG

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAGFmtWJMI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBUMxyUGu8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SKGUroAOS
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl1pgsCizk
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd1G3cCbIb

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Vee7rX0T

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj0QY74eOq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUB07yCEaw
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm0AfoyqtH
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJs9gzJUAU
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9xGlIEGMV

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyey2Ym6yLC

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLFRifjDGL
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH974IcUXR
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6uzloJG1D
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivAwnbMGy
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHq5BNeBqK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU2HfCRDXb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5OSmn1Ru7

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf1kOnC4p9

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVNqdxa4Db
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXAh0pinw2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ibkKtgBpP
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw0t2pq3s9

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUvmnlnVkS
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SinC7sdYA
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTaafe26dD
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9DOGvEzMR
counter for a drink.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGcl2CKSS1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NzkpcgTZz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqJXdJuQfk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Z7xz8ee7
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdp6WhVVeU
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUsiWHorv5
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9QrbGJ7sL

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxYzZ9WCDI

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYPpXAcAj1

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan5b70mESX
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHpiYIcNj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmG4VH0FIm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOCilMDwG

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gkFxT4bBA

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GyycILUhn
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ooHDwFfo8

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40v8CO9IIs

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNNSWPzHyc
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAiGRrVpUq
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrmi0az2KS

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV63VwKLnF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMTMgU8QB
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihygrH7cPg
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaM0g8IDAm
isn’t going to do you any good.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sG7EIExir

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4jFzjks1v

Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbrFRHzt98
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbguX3zo2J

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84FRaYbGpC

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwjGYoj0JS
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9cBRVpBJc

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSmMkkV4OP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh4jHsH7fK
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxnj2nc0xJ
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvobGf4u2JO

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zHp4QnxFG
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36A8eMCQHz
she didn’t even give them a second thought.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL7XjOl57V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW7BD3ubGZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1pxcCnr9Z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7iOUvmgaz
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrggWhz7vAE
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwHRDVy3ID
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqruSveLdG
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0AwALkoiG
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8pa9RgFHb

She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrACBGnZ3tA
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznqxkDJWy4
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTkbAEEcdc
she wasn’t too careful.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQompRV9y64

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A2aPLhxJC
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ0rmaJ6QU
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgwsTibD2J
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWAyg75pNS
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf2AOPzXfi

She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW5jHCh98p

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sBmQLGKWW
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtgzLKFsNO
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQVaowvoV
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uozXMKc4s

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25WeKfJpIl

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeDTRyFUAs

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JERxJ3352
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AoIKKc5NF
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9BG89KMP0

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuldOkNnn2
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC0KbZzZIT

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A5Ahz3EhH
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPIjAGZbl

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjmPvnLnr9
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIGdcWhDQK

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvK8S6C13R
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGkcGPl6IE
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBscnZ8WjE
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMD6bT4l8x

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu6LpZVQ7H
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUQ2qEaVMS
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFsCIaAIV
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OOiQ7hVDA
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdcT2n4YtM

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3uxKTa3Ns
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg5gkZvTTC

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlNYZN50V0
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4lXRbrz0s
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sLJG2zLdR
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXJxD0HwEg
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAuqlcpIIG
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG27eWqbi6
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx90lHzDuRG

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDxamwXPE
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0gmD4i53j
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeIoTsc2DO
though she had woken up from a bad dream.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UAqQtgmEv

“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1OR4ESjO
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Wg8eUSU9
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7esnjyLm3J

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSDQkdDRMx
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FU8BA2oLF
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LXiL3NEMd
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKySiPuNJg

Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZEPgTykRK
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tAFMyOmfd
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb151ZSa2c
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsarQm9UlY
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQgvGjjysm
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rc7mJOqoB
notice her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo6qKUH309

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0BGZSItMu
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHu2Zrf4xI
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekR2LpO5Yz

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu6NLc8BWG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAthiChg8x
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxvq2gKwRm
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLWUQqG2gC
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1WIlvU3W3
surprise.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52rJeHXIuQ

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxrjciiK6i
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHGhPyCoNL

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hh0PZGt8E
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts3A3Azzke
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzym0EvzHtM
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGui2vkqDPe
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9bv6lbSy

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh71By43LzV
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuXC3KhrR9

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQWeB3Kc6F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC6ZWvbw1U
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEnek1PCzQ
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDspVPD2Bef
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc74sFp2Cpd

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKbhf7JwPn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd83PDPMZaa
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv4KXdPVEi
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RpXYzEKie
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLxUdRKbCN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7rGISnqQM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1zVFeDydc

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPXgtE1z5G
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM26e20a7L
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpVmH8os6v
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOCardy3a
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzHl1w5HSv
leave, but after she finished her martini.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1EdRZIoD7

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGvcSNbY9d
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3pBAiPJJ

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGLxyI636e

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ033RZe1Abn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCn7KQLTXE
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkgrx7nRQC
Kim’s shoulder.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU21Yp5dZnV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8STBwsFD2C
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46zXjZQgzC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTrtl2P6Jf
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfcaZbjRv9
idea. We should get out while we can.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i3UVF1KZU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuLG8eBmjZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYthJwM0S9X
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s0Py6prpW
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxEzSg8R3m
the conversation. Let’s go.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIdXcte747
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq3orGzJ1J
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAIFjb4tJf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctzz2Om90j
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQNUCx43nj
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrp5P3Lh2s
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnWlOGDn4j
were able to see Leo’s table.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ967aK3SSNq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ciu9TJ9Ea
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Yakwtrl9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlaAMti18i
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw15aFEYITc
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ew8DpEtNq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbpLGUC6v
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Vs0HaDcG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ7muxJTXs
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLssDcVghp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz32tdH2Uz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdgLsrpou5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iyYNEdTPr
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCMAkijnG
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxBeYpQejJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyXXQxL7n1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq7X55NQCH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs81bOeldkG
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYGTJqeYE3
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLdWX3UQeu
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bnoWEDxAN
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡael3xRGDze
counter in anticipation.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iPVAzsb5g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWBS5UIzdZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi31lJNhcm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNiV4IN5L4
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecH1WVocFu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspGZhpMyHE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVav8mFIe4K
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKUg1CpMf3
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExC8OF2gqn
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BjtBzbRe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1bM2K1ore
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxodQ4mttxw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56QhEHM4K6
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhW2SaTjcm
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1oAtqCSLU
head.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oyJ8VZRZN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelFV4Ou3js
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g3bcMF9k1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq96sECzuna
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiJOaAFSXU
not at that intimate level.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbzBWZpa72
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQqsUm47rm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrEDEHvx7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gIHhyeso
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX76UUGBAWQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtgvehhrsw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAApAQh8NJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupVr1KNXmT
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zCeGIPlE
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfIW8KSaxa
he was being friendly to me.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Vk1m69nS

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJQo4zMr4o
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGLN6TIvk
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjqoH4oBE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbwWEedlF5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCacKL9oLkp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4EHkZDuly
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72YlXfsd4i
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oUoXTyqrl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzUjlt5E1r
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8JxtQxKVR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZalIjNVljG
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRw4O8Lyvk
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCuTzyiLl
counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi8wmIbK7i
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwUIhTvjGS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r4Ac157to
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoulju9de6
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxO5aStYyA
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA6ems3hxA
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TIYfbzov
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChqbXAZ68g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXyRPNcCPn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2euRh4lBS2
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF107Rj4HN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8EypHnpuS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNH2JVfnWE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1zY58whO7
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuZq8MEgvr
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhgvO2iLps
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7lGUS1J4P
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbC3MCCHgT
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhLLOGvr3V
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJs2wcJsWE
that was different from Carly’s.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNtrXDdq16
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85TPzKqsH7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPHuhiZ7ry
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3GuVB4qMx
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6P7ltuTwC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvNSS8QNdx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWlbVAJTfq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkibJLKZOTP
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHzKmwpVv2
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWFHynM5ef
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV9EWgw26Y
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip2uVWFKXe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1f5mPXI3F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMW9Jm3fil
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PV2xp9M46
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNr8GotJat
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCZhm6vQmA
doing here?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lxY0XC7Bu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIRwD4GtRQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsYTgwMQbj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uNTEBxexY
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGgbd6kCs
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSgt5gQOaW
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IlYRcScIJ
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NPbLFrkIH
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOM8FSI1u
surprised look.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hjv6p4H4M
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69B5V13gND
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA12whKr0N
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs4ssH8Xlh
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3auY6UJFZF
get her attention, but she thought better of it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec4UZt35Sw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2G9DH1pW3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YdFXfggx1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo4zRYdKon
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSsfI8AVs
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j2NM2PjWD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmVzxf3kKV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKJji4Lt8x
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKG1z75uU
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcxu0QyWOi
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJXPJUoakf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ6FNjWkKL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgjsnE6wH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDseH66Jbnw
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAm3lRT6Ud
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVg7BRrJq0
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7By8bXkpZV
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaknGwcV8bk
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcfWXymhTa
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Js1rOnpP
the table.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EX02MkXXt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3UCsQpBZE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr5hrFnZu1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3lYeFABj8
“What was that about?” Eric asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7LuVG6GPg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBOCmmlspC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGvwTptzlY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvxaC5WCAS
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6MiAD4sgL
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4MiN6AMao
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruKZxBEUca
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXNa9grqnL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINEOiWFeBJ
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSp5rSN3q
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9QQQc68ze
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kL6GsGzG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5dQ5fdNME
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQxtC0f4wp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVynAI96l
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02yIL2orgT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkk33PhVW9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT1bDrXrYy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBPXFyHdhI
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT8RFDzkYE
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHahcoma5B
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyow6eheMTg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA9Qwd1FGm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84eXqXp2tU
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogHpQc5nN7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI0XqL8K7g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaCZ1Knuo1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWmu6S7VTM
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHOYiMSJX
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGYAPrW6YJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0A5DgtOun
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp2HXmdMNP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZ5cjEx4E
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3GkNQp3xz
said Marco.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfcsi9zN9i
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWjP8lu4vv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCOLTGAKvV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorht7IKnaE
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dph1OGBSH
more handsome than you.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqmJTPWLDL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUVy7Lhf0X
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIatQDoXEa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrCopSMizD
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtLm8nbQYq
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXAuCentJn
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUbRpy1Miy
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPjWgZSHms
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I1SLVtAxI
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17x6DGDdAu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHBTb0utKU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBf1EjSwI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVAK35QVfa
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSHFyLDvFp
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnpqVM4JGY
thinking about.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqkAHjZ741
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypmLfbwdGD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeFaNs9BMl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOpwJRxqeX
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFHX2kRRLQ

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRm3xqdDdw

Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHPekoG3Gn
brother’s face.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GMPQqN261
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmNkp1bVIJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINVYbJB8QB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXtHiRyTBl
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtvGjRWdmE
at Oliver.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZybPr1FMuy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlum5hbTtr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBUafDKN8O

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5bfJmdcop

“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl2TmXP0uN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALpEyKxk4X
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJbxiaHS0o
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYElbtsEDo
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNf9DEONY0
heading out too.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJX99Rhf9R
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdxrvUkKW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYmmSHocnz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6nqMUkH2
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2D2BBUiEU
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFuxU1Vcnn
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3A3IuoPcI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjwcGfBQ59
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHw40qRZKc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs25RfWm1d
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCJXioZIBu
way home.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvIRJCoaZT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjqXApJQDd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ts0ZKLGM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo39DTAU7h
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ7GFDu1t3
here.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTpGXd2Vbr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKXUNO2Rlp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1J4T2YTpS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhDshxaxbE
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFXJEQacvm
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmrxUeGaQJ
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujBIJleMpK
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOEWovHZ1u
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkp2vyVmA6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpr07frsu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IiCrwBFrd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdJAu46LIo
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCXcVlqVhe
little longer.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut9woFNYjd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblnyZ1XkM8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiDEZSHaw5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrww4td8s0M
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn9VlKhFuC
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVztTHyftP

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNdW4kfm7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1HqBukQT5
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuIziVoZrY
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedUyGhlwKY
get your number, Angel.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOh1A9Xb3v
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTKuRwodk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAQ4hb1Zyw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k31TdJliN
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKmGOOLaY
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6fThLDQdP
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7COUKldVdj
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8nvUIzXQn
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pRAHfsSX

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5AZ8J9CNu
should do this sometime soon.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQgnBwahoU

“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmHsQp1Pdp
difficult.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC4mC91vNQ

Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRE1elhpM1
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvsXgfSv2y
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBsYd3AglD
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUyiJJK8zb

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJUH86OVY
much at all for a while.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTzCTP7Ezj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKgxHfAKqe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLWmIonTQr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHQVNRBBbp

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAw9sn95f8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1u9Uw0Wgp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq8uUG8RtV
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytJ4VFfJKy
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX6M9C5sFq
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHnhMKKLdx

home.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYy49NkF5

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdPVdU8l6i
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGIiF3wQk
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw3NAqo1Uw
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWWMKhIRlJ
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKi0gvRsat
Miranda might still be around.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQTW1IAldR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kSoAzNOh9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxUEpoLkB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtKUPw5ENx
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIV89GYyB6
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77c7TjuGtz

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE7gD7PKqR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ykv9p3JcS
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ejJdY4bb
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36MZ57VAlf
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2SZDgf4sV
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRRwos2vDS

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6EhzaRjd
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5qf1pM8bg
they started to stand up.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmSNmwcL4I

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2oOpwW0ES

“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwR3Ps7dNA

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT0bsi6wlD
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAbtwLy2xO
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI55Ezb8WXf
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGiWbt7DLO
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBNRQerrhg
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8SRu3kD9Z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NzrJVqk0j
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmsAq0tJYO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1SxqtVUTF
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc8WPMZA2y
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1o5Ijy7a9
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5I4xkcBK7
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwidy2Mw4Nr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oWscEUr34
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8CSVGZ6nI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7CFswJG52
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgyruS7rGs
seen us.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAIvpjQXnX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6694yDWYYB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ960dyWx7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhIgs6RJC
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yqCrHHNke
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLDfqORMGH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaaJD12MKm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIf1NM6yvz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHox85Q93R0
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsWiOGBvsP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sh7KFNnd8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknW5Rimw12
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemELmCUcyu
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAzxMtGKXC
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8fqAq1QJr
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawmllM3EG7
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fensSE3n7
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckFVUk3jz2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgkLazIlXz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIIYPbwNJB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM6tsf2WgM
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsq7tx6nZI
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nx32FA1Vm
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd80pKLScY
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDT59ueonN
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlypwVxxT7r
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Zxuyg63I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwVv8l8Bcq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsWD7ZMAGg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVflMdc2CL
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FENhsOcM
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmenTnxycfO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb7Mu7I2xP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuKq6vBor
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BfTThFden
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxlHxuvdle
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2O3rbY7CQ
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF4dXFMzT0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDBIq1eFnG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoYMLX7U1h
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXn4JI3Mx
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAeus6m3ny
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXFI5y8Opn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBd6vf03RW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qvodmZBkk
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQu7vgpGv
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWCzNnMMp6
this wasn’t over.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1NJKiXYnA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1UyJ0LhMZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5tEnDqQTP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fn77MQwZF
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfFT9Gyq81
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0xi1SVtA8
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QTZkwsy9l
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN31end83mu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPl6pLwaeR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpeEVdfUHk
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rAHRTIAyX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQxd1zzMut
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEuCOyvCIQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixgDT07Mdf
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEZAKXmwN3
favors," said Angel.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9GYExTOby
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLOhY1bqpj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXoytPF7u3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRtQGJSZBz
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7IDHlOm9k
they been there?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV4gp1SXOn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmwYHVtKmw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj6yzYBZOf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGJbonxVeh
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQmyjdbv1
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJwR2rv6ax
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTKTUj5Pm2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1g6nmpQGQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGcXn5VjLf
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HMQvyxYEa
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiKBdsReoK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFLlecR0XM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLh85bqsAe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3yUDmpUZr
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR45DyQmja7
so you've got to be careful from now on."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR4Aw0t2zP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX7Tv5XmoQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyZKa6vunF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGYMsBZCT4
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAShIt22InI
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhqbfLfxUC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7XT64TfUY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hovHbi62U
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IuYHnJU1J
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB4Drm5K1m
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBKoPbaFOe
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOvKay3rjq
night only.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ya7gVHDnD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0RpVGorSY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ldiuVRPQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPjEyUSqPV
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajtFP3XUes
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9OZrupHVX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7F9YJTL35
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcm5iZtFMx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko7AbeQthM
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDko3QJ5hG
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOzPH7zOXW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDJ4hHEXus
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSULrpAunMI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0EgnvxG10
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79tB6jfui4
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzeYpB70TP
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxbsDAe5q0
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSflgXjoCJJ
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYkPsLZJqy
want one?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7AkHn3NCr

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TWyXw2q22
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oo6vfb3q0
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tibXd3d5t
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi45rlZ9ie
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiQo8SgxF8
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIg9dBFEUU
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58gxKa7Wfi
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86knWkEdXH
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfEqYEvMOl
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDqAYw3jk

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYgf4yVA96
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Le3uVGtb
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaMWF2LzCe
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXCq8uQ8w
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx7NJc2DSG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBjsNV54I8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDW2tPuksC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGJQYyZlQJ
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJSImoJzZs
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6Wqg36XjQ
relief, it was Walters.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3WvHK9kPe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZCNa5WWLl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzHgx1ByEd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqLQch005E
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cspHqWcwJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNum40majL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UQafVQLJQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9m2Uy9IkD
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M5DXz2yU8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6TzF7k79t
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSzJscVSrD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LHbzqZ7xV
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq01orpQbzh
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLp14oRq9t
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbderjdH4K
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZCJf4Xz3v
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyciaPs5yb
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGvemiDhML
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rPMLEqx4T
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFeDZaoviI
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CFF6MjTM9
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOkuIvJO3k
Lion?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYiC7GyJoe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLap1rlQUwC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd9haMwzIB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTNTUswxJk
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAOFSOjWv5
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNUGh3LIo1
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfWkI742fy
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCluEKEgyV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaxxf1ane3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZV6SXIGIN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLNFplQjmj
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KOYngVlmV
