Angel was in the living 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQj79C0eu
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE0V27qIpN
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ1H1ZPdPB
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowGiQ3hpCr
"How was what?" Angel asked.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtKV3d4F5r
"Getting to know Leo?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzR305ObaM
Angel could have sworn 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AMBQWMWfC
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEZk8NynkX
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5TCRdom39
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdn9peEOZz
"Really?" Amanda looked a910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZErSot6g5
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj1sfMNZFi
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFUEMZygXV
have offended you?" 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9AlItiwwe
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr7XVcu8S2
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ftmBdruq
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgmJRzey4v
"Awww, you're so 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BMRkdMq2n
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqJGjxKq3T
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PsLXY0cyN
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEeu5H9SgI
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ccaMWB45
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Dv27QsUh
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufpmJhuHWm
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9E0zyeLFp
Amanda gave Angel the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQNOd2avVN
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfznwzaZ9HE
to deal with writing. It suits you."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfuVtTbMxF
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR9HQNhBDM
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLV3qNosxs
"What is it?" Angel asked.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMIeZ80OXL
"You seem to be one 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWYL6SoC2W
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zao4xk2nt
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4P5IFXv8w
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxX8vZ4LX
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS43HGuuMvh
"What?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2q9AMjA6J
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7sW8lneS5
Leo who had just come in910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYERqeEkCC
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3QY2TVarc
just at the entrance of the living room.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgP6mZqxUv
"What did you just say 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmfw5a1jP2
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg8xDLfA0i
the two women on the wheelchairs.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJsGYjtZhM
Amanda turned her 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbytatubuIL
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmURQnOFL1
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTG3mFRj9V
themselves."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqzorGu6T2
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38AVhPTQgE
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwNYvXJmom
Leo couldn't believe 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wzKe6eux7
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2OaOPWVte
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyurVvGICK
"Haven't you thought 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2SiAayCJN
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk8301iybr
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOAkndBITt
job of her own?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0JtyLcRCZ
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1YFGHGzjD
"You deserve better, my 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMCQrUwpvh
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIUEiRUIdx
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wEGQhHY1l
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOVBkbF2Z
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsM9tbooAO
"What makes you so sure?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSDCSTbNYj
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHTRp5XdQy
"Mum won't though."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrxj3lj4HF
"Does she run the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKgOx4c6Sv
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE9yH8HNpu
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVx8s4GiU3
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vz23QxZLV
Leo knew his grandmother910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jn3k9q6Jz
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi48W3sTCT
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOkqp82Ott
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwRhX4IiNk
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZiDGQUq2T
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpymp7A5697
"Don't say any of this 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6QIJj3PHp
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PKxlkYCiF
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfaEwzdpij
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzaOvYL5fl
have to convince her a little more than I have to."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXvgt3jM0N
Angel gulped. It felt 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEEVDlVGQK
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6c7yonAjj
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8si0PIWWEO
Leo made his way out of 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaej1FBAVme
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZVOZf6mWq
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrsnoefU3P
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0o3JDHVHl
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnPwf4WiQ6
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAjF3vsvUH
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rREEDzoT
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCBXA8F9eX
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2atECAXTu
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWoZB2Ra7B
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvDZa20dCO
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1QvMmIkjS
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9lYI0SL2d
"I'm talking about Kim."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEql6YP4Nnq
Angel didn't know if it 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZibNMwvlmg
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6esAh1Wgui
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX3WfiFdFj
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCaVkTRtaI
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YKSKZ1edD
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45AviWlCJ
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7cyIHkqmh
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cptb0ZSLn
certain things?910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t6OFv72EM
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR8WyQR30w
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wmOSscenO
Angel felt like covering910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlZqW6Pzor
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SORLkD9Jr
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR0Vyd4asi
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nRDNQFXj
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBUEP2oZHE
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcGg8K8SVh
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlIlUzHhv7
Angel felt her heart 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2p7nXzEuz
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviK52cLQYT
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx53ngjTJ4g
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibJChn2Uk
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK96zxj3GhI
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCOaS4Pr1Y
and invited her to the wedding.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaARvmwKhv
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOQ27YaUqu
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6weUKexLo
Angel looked at Amanda 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegI53t9Mvp
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ9ojUNNEk
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPxQOmQy6u
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyIcR8GUYk
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwsGp4Vcqd
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOrdrobjWW
saw Leo.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVwrfqCkzq
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j4Jfb5Y5T
"Nothing, dear," said 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0FBnNZc0T
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5He0AU9Ed
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafb0ZcbgkR
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMtT91WhY
"Have a nice day."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52VtxBh92I
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRamtAeWhus
Leo nodded his head in 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVTZCA4ubO
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCa8aHp7C
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmTUTbWkxq
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVvsO6Eb6N
through the front door.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxela7FvFN
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi5xggIESq
"You're unbelievable," 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyllTz72zLd
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUxGwXqdeD
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsCuhQKMih
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn14fGDpxJy
"I'm sorry for that, 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqfowOZNnq
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBmaoAMjZH
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV8ybOvvVL
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBx48OT1JF
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXs5a6ALjt
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO7uNAS15B
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtmFRQgmBb
Angel slowly followed 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlGsEgTpZP
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkvw0lEERY
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4kRkmUnhj
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDshH7V9exx
must have felt awful.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOCFGoT1El
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigC6KUx2SL
***910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnwHlBrdjw
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep9DDcp54z
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmV97Unbty
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnysRPfl4K
He910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nGGKBBFCx
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jRupxEDjl
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZi4ADdrht
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9HLubvl6C
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWwNLfoJAh
Since910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6NDUU0Xin
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITPh4AD9pB
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQhuZJNIx
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyLm4MbWuQ
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg58Roo9bk
Who910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RY87DQ80p
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrpnzHhd9i
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoQswDHLJE
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ29DVxsOF
He910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhxJHruo0q
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUNkNXMulj
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0PimdaQFp
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43hREz2vxu
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzyWSVAUw
"You've someone here to see you."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRgiRwj7tV
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp8LqkCVp3
"It's Trina."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFHJBz8HU
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCDsIWBrpB
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTonAIQO50C
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pgAhACkA
called off.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6pD0FR4nU
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkt7Z4QWDg
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQgsdGk6mX
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pNXheSdTn
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKdsBZq9Rb
Trina910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYowAx0BJ6Y
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG3lapgZio
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidPHRYSnY7
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZlH7XjD2V
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6M2Q4aGLk
fall out sometimes but still get back together.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLHplI2Q9r
Now910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqducvoUdcf
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ltWMgC3W
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2ky8HAmpw
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvDD0FFDP
weren't friends.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bl4QWwu7T
While910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFpqCQJclH
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIM9yWjt2g
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgRbnx5kq5
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNf55DdBt8
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvIHUQPFQy
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4QOXWbcFB
One910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KhvolUb1w
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgGET505DM
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIMS3rdo34
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbH0HvjXi
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRb0mrrtgw
one.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eaEOpbv5Q
Not until he met Angel.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabmXIPDSg
Trina910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLtldg0gFm
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky6ViPnrna
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnyBfuewQN
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveB9wWXQz
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFAD6qsuIH
Trina910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHDk8XAOBT
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH6En95thw
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcCKxpMu0B
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60AzuMEFhq
beautiful.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIqUjBFAQy
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghVtRGHUTD
"Then910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PaBHHblIz
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0ImphJ7W
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbHWpX8H1E
side to try and work things out."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIxax3EIXt
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p9Cia1EjT
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ592kg5fi
"Ya, me too."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Js1ShIHr6
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBVi2dHt8p
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tTwptWgij
"Do you know something, Eric?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZBst73jh
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbLWAyXPfS
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi6JMCYun6
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd5wlz1gDP
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsrkFB8VhJ
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwj9gOSDHo
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLY5iqj2l
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUz4XMdrkv
eyes with a corky smile on his face.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQp8jKEQoi
"Please,910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33dXiuNsfw
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWumNdVRZYN
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUnB79jeN0
ask him?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQcshg6ju
Trina910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawHlI78vBR
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFMt9HKwt
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j4tvEeb57
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPog6rC5k
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOz0w70mgG
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF5esChgKy
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZr0Y1U9CZ
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh7LMVbD4z
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ472eDTjp0o
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6aGOdRDDS
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIqhZKuw9A
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvzF5PKV8
to say next.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ivT3Wgo8V
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdoiOoYlgu
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yNlyANiUD
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiFOl1nDD1
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6QbzP4OXH
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPMlFwYl8g
"She's910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ulTv0ffmj
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGmbH5W6Wd
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoXyxjRZvH
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnB6gT1gvZ
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXeyEMLxyO
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b27zYAMtS
anymore.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtZP4QVbrv
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAsH1Qap3S
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqgT06prlR
Trina910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2hWG8zWFq
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbNxXrEbuc
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi5PMk4Ytg
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN1rO4Js7m
massage him.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZzqAxeo7n
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGrqo8YMo5
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobtEyohYw
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgKUOFqqLZ
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfo3YTwlk9
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04znpDHive
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjW9cNDleE
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsefwQruyDd
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZMRJmOvrv
He910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORLd3eHLq3
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8bixpyYY
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELg0HBkv0y
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1VHkjJ9B1
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoDwiAbBcR
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIS6XGhxj
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8T6RmeAeB
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n2coduA6V
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLT8mOSEbp
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0BAFAPW1
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqwyFDBV5D
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyuwFaZ412
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXWItFKN9W
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dg9WFvDPa
"Oh,910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92iVF94JtF
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxqcSJDki7
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu0HlLq828
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvZGpD9pPU
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXmqHPyDE9
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgV2Qjztd
Trina910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvVrhSisX7
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9zBvtTzmx
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRNZ4QUJfK
Leo910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ322rItXk8
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQrmLaqd2M
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1dTheJELK
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCrdqHg5ve
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnirAxYWVP
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsDgPlYJ85
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV85ne2GSLO
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmCmBeoBia
"I was just leaving," said Trina.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0eLEtxwUO
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e5rl0OmeN
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDblNOf107U
With910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2cGCfMK6k
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBinkrMQ8eR
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ149prgFet9
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB6ky9CUCA
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQPB1LkT0W
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kna0Eqmoc
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQk9ZQiG5A
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRczfn8MdY
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHAqKXvGDA
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscMdWBWH3U
"Well, you would someday."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxlpC14h5B
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtcAPDNse3
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6paHXQt51
"That would be fine by me."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdYFGNV8XG
"Oh,910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6DvAfl15P
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3wl10uGJC
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9bBYRwQng
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeDAWeGymB
you broke things off with her."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYA3tmQ0uw
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu4LmXsUNl
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj3YvY6cZ7
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IxjIIwUtg
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDGrn1ju0
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz1rURSTsT
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TvTsbD6ZM
Leo910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc8fDoYw2O
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX8H6gpGKU
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyPCFGUUjs
her.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnfN19KxfM
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1GOYb1Ewk
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWg0QTux5T
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbeTNcn9oz
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNeVMbwpJi
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BJy1lyE0J
thinking about Angel just now."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFAESJW6LQ
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQe81OJhYa
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8FDEXWWjq
Leo910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1I3GDN46x
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsOHMzGRoZ
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5poPdXkv1
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8HoCdJxi4
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1KelX2g1V
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW35weT5IR
"Because,910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCmuwpNPmb
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNrnOLcxp7
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWld5M90Le
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCF60Yh2AQ
in a sense of emergency to release it."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE890dxNeZ
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ1yGRCmGo
"Of910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlb45ti6fY
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IQjuKnTLR
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1escxvIZ4
darling, Angel."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmCwEN6t7m
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxaGNDdrv3
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJuLZqFcfF
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKShNIrdQg5
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorXv8XRdLu
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GSt6LDr10
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuvefp6fwK
"Grandma910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3xCM0q0Wy
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOJhjiWR4
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmeVtm96Z
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3KIQ7KlZe
Leo910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUpn2ibCJ
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VhCGnp64a
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwITtmqQAX1
word to anyone.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JLROsldpR
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzBsod33eX
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzefWl2Eosx
"Yep,910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vrTFpxWvg
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SvtUHSL3Z
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9tbR2sbO
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3vMY79Unw
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSCmk4f3hJ
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkLsLbjBjC
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdM9EAbt4J
Eric910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSlnuzS5JG
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYQo0yn7AG
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrZLXlDlPs
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjfK9jukEB
Leo910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnGOqNzbfc
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqG9gsNToo
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOm0sZ1bef
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFJDGddlvb
He910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGlGsMEwVG
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHfbsvRnRw
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwCle1m9n1
desk that he had to look at today.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsi1ulsfZJ
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOAxZpAbPS
Leo910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUGFeBaxjN
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVjNnqEHyN
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkXDgAWwXj
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
