Angel was in the living 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEQLdB2kZz
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF5XygWKud
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq4ffxZSOB
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRlteVTips
"How was what?" Angel asked.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsiyIPsJVK
"Getting to know Leo?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVngj7In3gv
Angel could have sworn 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRWrFbfLyj
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmMv0ocZGv
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Np55iViwr
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckkFPwvCGJ
"Really?" Amanda looked a768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Mmjccxa4
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb4FwKgSAj
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl5Aq52HzW
have offended you?" 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRohAWBBYge
"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."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4TOjRN6po
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRFwiRATdg
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x9Bc4LaZM
"Awww, you're so 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zit3FTqsd
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJO1jqTA9w
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5PgGtHyT
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Gm6YIGgb
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhOSSqBN6x
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmJXwDXfGZ
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEIm9s05Xt
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0CjzjaCQv
Amanda gave Angel the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPVWRXD1wI
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXntkQ4C7KN
to deal with writing. It suits you."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI05BKsBpCV
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJi5XfmKhU
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTbbQJM60C
"What is it?" Angel asked.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaooP5WV1MF
"You seem to be one 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM8KsLSM9e
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhULDoDC22i
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujf5J7rqyD
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUuEZN0UBD
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmukiWapNIO
"What?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQD07Z9cs
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9tziiTnJL
Leo who had just come in768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhpWOP5P2j
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P0mBr8lhD
just at the entrance of the living room.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4krI39S9o
"What did you just say 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWJL7Sgjrz
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnXCf9oPp
the two women on the wheelchairs.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGXnis0a8K
Amanda turned her 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVb90VWHGX
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP3O0UgiJ1
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBqxigamsy
themselves."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYESVyV1I3O
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFsfK5isEM
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRFb31Gp80
Leo couldn't believe 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFnfhuhRAX
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dz0bjQfJH
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOM9Oibix
"Haven't you thought 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rrjSKBMS9
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNtGgWbo7Q
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l42WOALTI
job of her own?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq38w6K9Ea
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehVOIBVe86
"You deserve better, my 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZReEZGObjS
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiszMokd4s
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9VQc1Rxro
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofM2AisFTz
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29ZlZo1af
"What makes you so sure?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu0zJWuSPl
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9SXPsTnN5
"Mum won't though."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGvHMP4Cqf
"Does she run the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9cwp4CkSD
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bCYdEkO9W
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ze2FOm00Y
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFuV3pIcc9
Leo knew his grandmother768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aMlgIhylD
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl1Alk7ze3
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozigVMJJ6q
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX7xi4QMaR
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXoyMu3xv8
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwykxglyRC
"Don't say any of this 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJP7pePclp
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfYRPN2xj1
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7co2ecOEy
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrEPGAvUOs
have to convince her a little more than I have to."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfk09MgfxX
Angel gulped. It felt 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6X80c1SJW
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooEpHcdhQS
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtdlyryUyW
Leo made his way out of 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy2iHSdt3j
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY73jionzB
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9UvNhv8c9
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM62ksKRyB
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvsyVppf9X
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzP6hX4p1k
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5KYjPF95n
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbUxryI0n6
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.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJKPJE6Wdu
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZmvyfV7Ma
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6SpypTh93
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBiz1wS7x
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEXpv8cOoJ
"I'm talking about Kim."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb3N8jAhG9
Angel didn't know if it 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAj2l7JFjU
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ecDbazznt
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqX3jOKvEH
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSbI91Lg01
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQW79PkOH
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9wmes6AUY
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFPNJL8zwi
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjWh0v1t7Q
certain things?768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNMd2845Al
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPdu8DX55i
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyhuBhYmSi
Angel felt like covering768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGiKrNk8MW
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmWilirDKu
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HXxK5BBh
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bc2wYz0wF
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GBlFvxCXN
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rKEKW4GYF
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fs2OVNiZV
Angel felt her heart 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hvDtVoRlj
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU4sRbmVOM
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRKIm2pON
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDG1u3SIk7
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATJkGOAiFk
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTouTTLZJQ
and invited her to the wedding.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiyrD1QObc
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVebClCgV2
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwrG4Y56wx
Angel looked at Amanda 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mzWcQnKRZ
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OGYaCztO4
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LSh18Sf7i
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AntH1OzwW
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnnvKsWurl
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooxcdgw5a6
saw Leo.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWmatvxtN
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ur00WTyA
"Nothing, dear," said 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa309GA2dB5
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBiwpFWacE
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxv2knfLnk
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0spDSHxtfe
"Have a nice day."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5eUbkez1
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4euVXYrdW
Leo nodded his head in 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlenBwh8630
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gAFeYS61
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrlKItY42s
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeuwUUE8Mi
through the front door.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5XkzSs6gi
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrNnvhQ9k3
"You're unbelievable," 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDUsUgY2ec
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjh5WP1En9
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLDDpaJhFj
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqGEk0GWYI
"I'm sorry for that, 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTjp76HqbE
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKwxIC5UA2
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTIXeSoxFH
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk3O7d0EYs
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYjrbDNQHb
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xv8Dyneme
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM1TakeCLv
Angel slowly followed 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfc7BHIXO
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WLAe3miB8
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkersofwAi
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ZCr5yxE2
must have felt awful.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqOZb4E0mp
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXbDClMfjM
***768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Qxqer2BU
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgAYHveCMQ
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPk6bmBKm9
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOrpz7qXS
He768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pZz0Uujnf
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW2SWwabyL
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pvo6UhDSI
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3feE0McFa
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMMDUjpY5m
Since768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eVmL1YhIv
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH57WyU30MM
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡminsyf5ci2
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uNpJhobHV
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm5597uLvK
Who768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4FxJPbel8
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtmFLFF3DP
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyiiRaPoUU
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHFkqsH5i
He768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Iy6qn3Qe
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJO9e20sJD
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLduRocBVm
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgL29OthZv
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ApQNPI3g
"You've someone here to see you."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT3o4mx1BG
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5TVrfxjoq
"It's Trina."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ284i2zwxcx
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXk8N8cHyH
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu1SQCXeQf
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BNWJIcLQT
called off.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwD5PNZ42
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrS64v8iWm
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34XKMOdB9w
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0fDFF2PsN
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1D3wmqsLT
Trina768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiwg7shwaz
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUT26iVehB
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbjjUQTp7P
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pcn8nmtTu
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeTbzsfD51
fall out sometimes but still get back together.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9RWJsbQ1Y
Now768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuTG9iSXBG
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbrMuZXjTE
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvZXPekgv
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzfEfQZMbY
weren't friends.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdhJV1Dove
While768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos1ja5NPJf
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk5rRZNspV
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQbBFqJ4Tx
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJivO6M2gp9
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGq965nGxS
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZEO9l2nXD
One768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlpcjMFZLO
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vazPjMmie
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddBcGODlUe
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8z4H4hgjc
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7UIv7foZj
one.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tQpcAnLD
Not until he met Angel.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ha0v388VU
Trina768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJemqsz8OA
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeeNrFOdic
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFUShXiA7R
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdKimNN5kx
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLPnXdm5fe
Trina768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjZRD1clAe
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDxAJLB9L1
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOUhTH63WK
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVShWQDs0Bu
beautiful.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqiGqpDrhB
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRiblxCJZg
"Then768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG8fxxhN6c
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTY4wGX8Wq
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewLXDQk0An
side to try and work things out."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcoZjoGqUV
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnl3Gfx8MY
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsOghAdMGQ
"Ya, me too."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGzynGsQg9
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3lusAgImX
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwhA5hVLw5
"Do you know something, Eric?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1S1flSk18
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsslQENeota
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhVYWDZIXt
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoq2R6ihUF
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwkf1ZCfLs
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFb94znz0i
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCqPnUsTp
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtma3ANjMYt
eyes with a corky smile on his face.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykEsqs5r3I
"Please,768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLX6IcZzAl
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YjKZfaJWt
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdM3EByhBs
ask him?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p9bFQNaF2
Trina768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqapyqZJSyO
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAnZA59pzp
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLJT6c5F2d
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCUENUhelr
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U7hb2zvFI
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuPm3Ipbsd
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPlF0vEqW1
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz9xgxi9ww
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tjc9xonQs
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FbEXWjJU3
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1dTSOV3EH
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bDlbSEYWC
to say next.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdlSZfxz7X
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ou5MNMfOR
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATj8qnjb6
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh8lU4pmFn
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU8B6jSlNz
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT3oXdVFrE
"She's768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLCv3g1YaJ
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEY9fPlEmv
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRJvXlCyl0
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9vbdk60yD
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSNvK3QwRy
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU4hepSOLV
anymore.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNt3JN3Lyp
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGQUr2LUzn
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUISYpoCoiW
Trina768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjAAUujNp8
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3nvs3pNcj
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCxQ0Zbc1x
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb0WAIV6pV
massage him.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7WpqlN6vs
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCfF6rf8mW
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DtCt2BtHq
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK54q14SJGL
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9LisCBmfG
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfIDVhLcs
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiH0S7FAWp
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcYPOx5ael
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNq1hfJnl9
He768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0iQrTumQC
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnBQSTQv8p
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8gemn4I7D
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K829J70N4
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlpNbli5pJ
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ebCGHruxE
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfT9XIZ3s2
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEVdW9RJoI
"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."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01nujqM7Vr
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2iXZG9kSs
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN00Cnx6xc
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaDI0BU3qO
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YytdTm9jc
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCgd9opHxB
"Oh,768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzJqmATdZL
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJKw3xcCIp
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGau1IVxxLU
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGhnGrxWUA
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6bFnCoLS9
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FatBymBjg
Trina768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22McJ5GRM
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyl7vzxyX5
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya5yL7c85n
Leo768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t71abTUQw
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxPBe0T2Pc
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfUYIsLgl
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQTxvxUJ1
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1vrfE0Vw
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxWHsWj9EL
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1iJgHs42
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0mQI513Zm
"I was just leaving," said Trina.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE6pnPIV7U
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ANzn4YS9n
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VCQaudJkQ
With768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Z2YbjAVW
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPR4pKkTAl
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNnp2sooB
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiYkPXYm3p
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdtRMh8Bg5
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHidJGaBnFB
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQFKxDB3He
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjNdVeN69o
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj3PsIRbDN
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5EAvqlpF1
"Well, you would someday."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Fu814OF0
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikqdFvS47X
"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?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Ndz3Oqy3
"That would be fine by me."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAWVMvwyJz
"Oh,768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYXUQau6hi
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzl6NGbAgg
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKihQP09Ny
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRODX8lA14
you broke things off with her."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAMoD7byf4
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfsDkFGKdG
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoisJBv4Xk
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fgi82hq1Y
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjFz7UMT2k
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN4qk0uc40
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtbXLFnA1a
Leo768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr0zqa3HCR
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXncGig4L4U
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNHE5c5kMI
her.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw0kPKzZqa
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrVLBQAqQG
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrObLr0ZCwm
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PFluvP0Up
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLuJg93YWF
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvOQDYKMe8
thinking about Angel just now."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nJNT5urz5
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIsH8b71ZJ
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGafNEeJ1c
Leo768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPva8PLld8
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19gQcYTPc
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQn91fgl6f
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycELZ0tueS
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ESktC5VU
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWMmYywRWB
"Because,768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnppqvTWk7Y
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZrngQzAGA
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNQYF5CCPH
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPxMu3pI9T
in a sense of emergency to release it."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9VBqzcqVF
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OLwHx5g2E
"Of768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhIncVW3l0
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2LIMtqUyU
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2NClTxw8F
darling, Angel."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuwZnL6BbA
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRE26e0wvZ
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGgrBOf1Ej
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg7AlzGek9
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF9RGRHJh9
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXykJcQ7bXq
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."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE1GufGanj
"Grandma768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMWAyVnIoK
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdHVnVZ0cL
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBKvQmTEuW
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeR1t7CpNP
Leo768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1a8udVZxV
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4VwYCoFA0
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR67aUEfSO
word to anyone.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzWBctH8tZ
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLv0bOqf6V
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWtielyCBO
"Yep,768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3UcUnVpRX
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaIXJT5AbQ
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrMKlasXqa
"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.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3rFXuDMF1
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tc4Fdf8wE
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKd5QXaOWf
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulE5tW7m2d
Eric768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySL5lGzhEH
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7SGFns3Zb
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cHcYh2i2t
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajU7jtxfob
Leo768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMPaKNfax
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNkpKCfJ3
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPyGfY8dRe
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4th7RLMOvX
He768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpDnHzw1Q7
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4fHJxMBV
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgBlWdOne
desk that he had to look at today.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ggntqEPX
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2z8FKNhdk
Leo768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wgdZWllXh
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr40XrDbspd
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.768Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HWP3MS61u
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
