Angel was in the living 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa3ho8YyI7
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTujHWHZinV
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QmC1gFPw5
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgACULyX04
"How was what?" Angel asked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEH52DI7En
"Getting to know Leo?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEAqW2aK8j
Angel could have sworn 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uUElOiDNV
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGZc2L55U
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRFsOhwZG
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuz7j7y53s
"Really?" Amanda looked a873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyJvwYhygj
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKP1QcL1w
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1X8WH4lGR
have offended you?" 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJBUfHFcZg
"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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImlXmPp47T
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTKryOSvC
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N6ceEwSWi
"Awww, you're so 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFr7eCSaZy
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8NJjSewrC
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsMwyER4GX
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOH6sCqn7x
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCAHvo39DR
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu2OgLLMmp
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwGA0yOfGL
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hNNSzI4rl
Amanda gave Angel the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oxbAo9b9r
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUx4Ji9KrF
to deal with writing. It suits you."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9SYgHtdSA
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3qeeRdJqs
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUWsnFivsP
"What is it?" Angel asked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElMDRHTjC
"You seem to be one 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkI3SfFnMV
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvSYchNShh
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRXvLODnrL
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2LBYE53xr
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SbQ7ou2Qd
"What?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ccHFCFrb
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUw2cgeHLF
Leo who had just come in873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklkmlTRQ4N
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7BHqPKW8W
just at the entrance of the living room.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfecYcjD8U
"What did you just say 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiLTlVeu5Z
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEyGfKlNpV
the two women on the wheelchairs.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9vXoHGimQ
Amanda turned her 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7cZeFj2mc
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDajO9PDow
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8DPZNdOP5
themselves."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk7VXSD8gf
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYOkehsP2b
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmP8RLNeL9
Leo couldn't believe 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2fl8fcX91
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQqvxjdgGd
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5GgQV6srN
"Haven't you thought 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DolayXOrr
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoltPkR0Qr
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmbPB2oDlz
job of her own?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddww4uUM8K
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2FzRBO9rA
"You deserve better, my 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7vhWg7upQ
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPmsGIQ5Ur
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt6dQTSTio
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKbM84Y62V
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCpnWE17RQ
"What makes you so sure?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezh6W3fpKM
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAVCPDPWQ7
"Mum won't though."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAi3RBhd70
"Does she run the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto8rUzRaQG
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PQOg1jYSI
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O8nGfKz5D
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcM1doLHHJ
Leo knew his grandmother873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx41ZtFALL
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw72sulH0td
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm5Ke0JST7
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhem3vMOIif
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxBE5zjsuR
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1OSlHkEiP
"Don't say any of this 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8paHDXdX6
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J2AUtY6wq
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQqQgylVBI
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQIuTH4u7Z
have to convince her a little more than I have to."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWoqlVL80B
Angel gulped. It felt 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMQrAJuu2n
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCERAs0MOv
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3OxtH4o4b
Leo made his way out of 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVNIMZy1d6
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2loC3deCst
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoYa6lskqJ
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByBwA91vPR
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcFkXX0OCs
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLihWPErjLr
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqqVAUFgfe
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmco6Aoa0S
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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7kVeuriuB
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9ECzouNSM
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCSmOpFPFY
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBEK9WNg6
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqgqfjyJvt
"I'm talking about Kim."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIkckWo19r
Angel didn't know if it 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i06eyTbn4
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn80U05Uri7
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUSg94dpYc
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQCHsSrxij
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpPObx5nq
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwJmJNXKI1
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI07NchZJx
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77r3F8RrDD
certain things?873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U3GOR6EJL
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO59yrul1oo
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SjnM6jB2q
Angel felt like covering873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQbrwOWbvz
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmFswbTojd
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStsDL1gitq
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttAgDQSlzN
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyKPdBGtuk
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWNVwzCJOu
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOvsjK7yTf
Angel felt her heart 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9WjQLgCkC
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4dZ8kgJ80
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAaSj7NDW2
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdf7u4NWz9
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJJDK6tRI5
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYba7xorLS
and invited her to the wedding.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeQ1RdQxwW
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvs8cWwqq
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCOEO32D2z
Angel looked at Amanda 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1FUtzUx3c
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LzGmnMbj
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuUbG9s2py
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUK1MY6M99
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX9o3k5rFz
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLBYhEmQQM
saw Leo.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ703xPEUIjG
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxaBJAGH8P
"Nothing, dear," said 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTseiIrTMq
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QSOUKUoFw
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FwHh8onos
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrlYLWOwEZ
"Have a nice day."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriJkR1Ovb8
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6LEZinMPq
Leo nodded his head in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg68Ez58XeG
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg2QfYgmeK
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4a3hdbMM0
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJRnmYwl2Z
through the front door.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1BQEscTBX
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMSPs2sqHE
"You're unbelievable," 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGFx0zWkAw
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtXFe68Tv2
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9B7qq9OHt
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHpRTnhHA1
"I'm sorry for that, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa4tGTgUB0
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdyCMlbs4F
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bxFF8Hg1S
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwoWcVTg4G
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVR4dhlCJy
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfhaHesFPH
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnv6FP9E6v
Angel slowly followed 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaWHqAjsPr
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvNfanaxgu
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcmdE8mqn6
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsw7eQREdP
must have felt awful.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8XHej8xvC
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeeUVywye1
***873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvDBs9pTwL
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V1RyWrUBF
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0SddoDoN
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYPP01hLXx
He873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZekUbq2o1C
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvgWYGsn9T
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKjz4tPA17
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVjTEAD3Bt
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4kH3FPlyt
Since873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJalsaJJZS
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc39iXaZSRx
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nKnJdxq5l
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoUMZR92C0
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraKKruIkh1
Who873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqJxA9pHJj
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MsHgKrCHj
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkJmv6T81q
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI9GdLsXQl
He873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9I7w6Vur
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l25vmsbd1
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qJL9L5m3z
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD1GF8xXVF
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIuWchjSb5
"You've someone here to see you."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zuSylEWPF
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Douu4lv1S
"It's Trina."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGXQzOiJM
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlR4oInugl
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuy9hkpxni
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcSl6gH6P9
called off.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAximFX6ub
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZBUH9C5CC
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsJDWFTi4H
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYuhGHNyql
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvCMDIpaKn
Trina873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0cgRdx5En
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f02oVDelh
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQWJpiG8a7
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlZKXeKbP
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qdGOuAdcK
fall out sometimes but still get back together.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DYAbHHt6
Now873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDEVWqQj7T
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4sqzOpZKm
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0blecm2pat
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeIoYRy0u0
weren't friends.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ZZYdQ7wB
While873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlHjlhrjpG
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH56MfAypX
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwv4aFPQYc
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdQngt5BBJ
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIIWtjWAZY
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX5B5sWQYX
One873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcbs3m0AUl
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ1MnZKaOT
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277ZazhoTo
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc3G5Hwggl
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w5SpkynQw
one.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxwMCAPPXw
Not until he met Angel.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJKuydcpl
Trina873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfhsv4zAjn
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsM2AKKzcZ
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAlR52PVxc
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUCwoNRTDo
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOsLpBE1dU
Trina873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5tr5zIH3z
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaPT4nuJqY
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZsg3NxUfa
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5TYCTRwUG
beautiful.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIcY7cWezT
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWZkPQIcdB
"Then873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXOMZWE7yP
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TK5zR9Dz8
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTkOZRm7iJ
side to try and work things out."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSibcmsjVS
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOeRTEsPt
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ez9YeY060
"Ya, me too."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpItL1lVs
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa1CisqNDb
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4asNojvzI
"Do you know something, Eric?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIVbzGqpIe
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2sWT9IPs0
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fVFBNtnij
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHWoD1cq6d
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvXVayTxkr
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GahmgcH2
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JMIF00146
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kbN2lVjvp
eyes with a corky smile on his face.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffwN0mSQSS
"Please,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiiNJ8f2Q8
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jj3a7YCvJ
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxBPh9sDMu
ask him?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qFX1ZpH8I
Trina873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgpBkBtwQ7
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v6Gucjbfw
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXYiKK89V3
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy2jylRzP3
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCAuQ5RePn
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijaYqTbIds
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3WOuavXcM
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Yc8FFnMT
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGzlyIHJfx
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWMMfrvlnN
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWmFsKfUPm
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT7LfswDh3
to say next.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrYxTs6Cm6
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWqG0ov6s
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0CLerB9GT
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpozqxZS4j
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH57yEXB96p
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb1pplq5JX
"She's873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwWoBxg2jt
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrMckAkWIP
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw8Gy83Tm3
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOhlTbqvrW
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbg4KUlJqo
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCPnOuTPU
anymore.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMCdlgzMtS
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvImyWOBDGs
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aS5kEniRE
Trina873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcSO19bLJO
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVn1xpICKv
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M3NIUmJJ9
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrJ8CjYbc0
massage him.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PoY1kVQ7m
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTzfMQZW7l
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ581MNRaGhn
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa6kTeoLxL
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxnHNMiWr
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf9OSC2V5D
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhgUGtLs0Q
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsPFHPxrup
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1ZOEWQE4
He873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8oHoSXBTz
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYdNUxwoT2
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WVCGiaib
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTxa8Tr2rG
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFew2aAegdN
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2A7fjuJ3o
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMeUfOAfYb
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNEKNE1CfG
"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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj2QYICkv2
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcMBi4y9Iz
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIZRntHGmD
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Ax5qfVSf
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCOwrvbUXq
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsucLLvQGuL
"Oh,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Y0jFIOJs
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3mxtYUQ2A
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X0YWE1NGO
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY9Sw0Y3df
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn84WZp9IjC
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38p1QzOMFu
Trina873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ZFBuXcxN
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1imzZGEHb
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQymDZ5pJdg
Leo873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhIUKHWAio
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzgvS46KUp
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM52V6Pply
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBgX6ixmUp
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXaaN0nNWb
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Lxqi3RCy
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBDIKjIsSC
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc0mlN8m6V
"I was just leaving," said Trina.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG1JfwZkR2
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr6HET9V50
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPBx6IUp02
With873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmHSVWJjPA
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpes6DBJ10
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZACmEarl
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy1va3HwKq
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvomlj0zZO
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiV5M9upSW
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XATAK3mxr
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKGLSN29Fb
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJzoXMZCuT
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Azf0evEN
"Well, you would someday."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyyEsJnJiL
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKtGMk5XPs
"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?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f8Zb8mzJ8
"That would be fine by me."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWCChs635A
"Oh,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ANeBsp7lJ
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCpUGCNk3X
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod78Hc9StX
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlgajNDqru
you broke things off with her."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEEWfEzsYt
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXooEAzy741
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YpINoG5MV
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0t3DaDfPL
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1dohO23c7
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH6SSPcsbN
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92nDmVIPYl
Leo873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXjgDI7mHh
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu5fFA8cYf
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cOzYi012K
her.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dkn097WlN
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGpgLclsFG
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv503WRcoeH
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRZai9if5d
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxUvOjUny8
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBUZBowh3C
thinking about Angel just now."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh9MscGLq7
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAXHH1MThs
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgHJ1QhtN8
Leo873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ukGdftRs
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSocC5QxS9E
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylw68xHY3J
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PV9IhIsW5
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7837LAyc1
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGeae1bBfV
"Because,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F4saTPg3z
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOmOKg1wM
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlSL0dfKYN
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH481bpfs5
in a sense of emergency to release it."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmP9rHbUZS
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zV3005gGc
"Of873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6qtsP1Mur
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGffDQinaZU
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpyUp4PDbt
darling, Angel."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMBSsLmRke
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0TZ5cKrTe
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0LCmV0Dj
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8II14ukFi
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTnixNcmM6
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzh3lxwJhq
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."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ClqBeotJL
"Grandma873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Ikl1Z6vy
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwMASDb4Gn
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWI3AZLE3X
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ToJf9Pug
Leo873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxBxwTKvvO
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqlwsjsGJt
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8BbUsr5N
word to anyone.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JDu4YCWvs
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPugPSB7D
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMC9Zwpt8Z
"Yep,873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WwjqDSqf
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AFtCeczGT
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6RHzev0Wa
"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.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRpk907cx3
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs7kbWChhY
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojQBgcmkK
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64VC2lttlt
Eric873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxR7Iew4jN
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7htGzZ8Pd
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq97Hv31gzU
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBaqLYtWiz
Leo873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Qc45AIV5
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEarVUE2T25
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr8W6IXQga
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkImt2KO9nl
He873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjImQTAxzKu
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsV1aAHK01
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnWe3rIZ4X
desk that he had to look at today.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSOq9xyunD
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOqODadonD
Leo873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLbVXQQXOB
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yDmeeU77e
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.873Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhHlQna9S1
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
