Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRkxaS190
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfBQONpxFE
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok2htt7zm9
She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa9wHt0Bcl

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKJHdKVkrY
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RaiMeJl3a

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIyQrffTTM

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHTQig9kk0
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhSth7QIbI

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVGtp5TYVI
Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QJ62j7x7Y

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYx7S1XgHd
Alex didn't say anything because within a few seconds, he found himself parked in front of the gate of the main college building. Many students were entering the premises, especially those coming from the hostels across the street.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49J6znGh9l

Carly nodded her head, got hold of the straps of her backpack on her laps, and opened the door. She stepped out, swung the bag round her shoulder and closed the door behind her. She didn't turn to watch the car drive away as she soon made her way towards the gates.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tfsKK0ShD

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZihhOdhVC

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOa3VrhPJ1
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQMyhpXITf
"You're not only looking fine, you look stunning." Lisa stood a few feet away from Angel to take a good look at her. "What are they feeding you at that house? Or is it the clothes?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiVlD1tAHH
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KPSgwszxW

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWhrwDMjMq

"Tiff-?" Angel didn't get to finish her name as Tiffany already had her arms around Angel's waist. With all her energy, she lifted Angel off the floor. Angel couldn't help but scream and laugh in delight at the same time.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg4PHEc5HN

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben. They actually attended the same university and apparently found themselves working for the same editing company. A smile appeared across his long face as he approached Angel and Tiffany.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5se9qbRTd

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsPN1bfHX0
Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother. His shiny brown hair was also smartly combed, so it was difficult not to call him so.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ld3uLAvAN

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIASZCnQFw

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDX3lv1kfD

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiJZbrW5pQ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enggGzKKR

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpEZFcGMIt
Angel tried to put up a smile. She expected to see Mark sitting close to Valerie and maybe even flirting with her, but it isn't the case this time around. They seemed to be discussing something serious. To Angel, it felt so unlike him.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebBtdH2oKD

"Of course, Mr. Dean," Valerie stood up from her seat and made her way towards the door, passing Angel. Angel thought she had seen Valerie smile. She wondered what that's about.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsc8JAnIBW

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ36JuJ6HY
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbN7NuVD6W

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTPJRxAtwn
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAKPDzfl8p

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYYlNp07eg

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZegvxnfTSf

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07VIa2KOwN

Angel went on to stare out the window, looking at the buildings along the road. She was deep in thought, thinking of her friends and the editing firm. She wondered what awaited her at the McDonell company. When Leo continue to sip noisily, she wondered how she would ever handle him.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqaxePcvmz

Before Leo could say something back, his phone in the pocket of his trousers started to ring. He wondered who could be calling him as he retrieved his phone. He looked at the screen. It's Eric.

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPxc4DozTB
Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNbKN9Dw4e
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Tk4Qdf53
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaB3lK9N10
"Whatever, Eric. Why are you calling?" Leo noticed Angel turn to look at him after mentioning Eric's name.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cyUL3nhYr

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAQeGkEbVB
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6c2tl7vvY
"That, my friend, you'll have to figure it out on your own. Happy croissant hunting," Eric chuckled before cutting the call.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN6DU1pfIB
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfStmgtfjX4
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNimjN1plHy
Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAT2VWmjpF

Angel turned to look at Leo. "What does Eric need croissants for when he already ate breakfast?" she asked.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsbhoijHmt
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXDVAoeuJw
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuGJbZbfLB

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqjFmA4kgt
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL54Mko5Zs
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGHWbnmj7u
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPzkF2TFGV
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha7awRuOdi

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT0ZVyOPy3
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAxc6xwBHg

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbbgsgmyW
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkLoA4R94m
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsumulYshsP
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzTFrL5ahM
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXIhPQZoTE
The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazaOHybuS4
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjveNoG8PTo

"We're almost there," she told him. She pointed at a café just up ahead. "See that orange shop? That's the one."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvRAZEZ3m
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkQjlE9NKc
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqT3DtQjBn

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC5CDC5fYO
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNyRN49AkW
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17cYLfvHc3
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiaYSR2Bpy
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO08M9vsnv
Leo hissed. "Whatever," he said. "Let's check this place out, then."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMSGaFGviR
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXGrBriV6m
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ083UsqUBOq
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1j0P612Y7
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiIQckdz1S
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuY7IQLhh0

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cElNUPcS9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4KImbVhcH
"Let's go, Leo," Angel told him as she quickly rushed out of the car.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pPdyHiYP
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6i5arTzZe
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFQiJPuC02
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwcIpov9Om
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgpM1T1Y4V
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu3eBnsWDz
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kMRqhC5zL
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkqUthE1Ir
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6V89NOzkr
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvrqqtuMKJ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8OyAodfKG
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NOhWFJOc
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOwVPLQSMc
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ798BoM4z9i
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb8iYny90N
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCckBgBKlhk
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3elg4p3j6f
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkafU7M3tz9
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMQzR3DbQ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl5OotGN9V
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorpLG8bdSn
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9s5Lw0xAq
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSEaynxi3l
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1X5B23qe
Leo turned to look at Angel who soon straightened up. The line had moved a little and the two had to move along with it.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr7GElpj8B
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6xAraq6l1
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP7UymEsuv
"What was with that smile earlier?" Leo asked.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjxmpMGzoD
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpemRFx2eAx
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FkAqMRy8l
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43whgJKoKx
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzJTmB1Ftb
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwUDYbAkct
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q5X9PgM6X
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGn5WQ9vRE
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSjbaEaVP
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsC42KP3Ay
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOehTln7gq
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr0NZZl9A2
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeARmHp6dS3
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NIv4Ebol7
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHVGH6oS5z
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmyIAKTqi5
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo3YaYpyCB
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoIwcywT2j
"Morning. What can I get you today?" the young cashier asked.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7g6X0sQN5
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5arTboKwXZ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkVr7HmmPq
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes0buS4xeV
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjIVhbI2l
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h5POQ7EDq
Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you asking me? I don't know."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fe00pAPwH
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZDeMPQliz
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsd5yDOSTf
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX6fn3xDoP
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ5dwvStnA
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcqjQJzzN
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIO8acAJ0b
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEobigkJQ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq4M8pyKEa
"Why did you only order four?" he asked.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1egBZpxQu0
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDNX1pmS61
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SmOVZGr2
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6psORKDD0
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLYjnyA2T8
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqkFt3czaK
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfMHgNRLxA
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HTVlxHtvK
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIJvNbGFT
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXXZL1IemH
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX2KoQKPtP
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXmhdFD6pf

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ymFBHvMq
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HSGS7Yr65
"You sound like you've just gone through a torture session," Angel said.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVZD16byp
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMRtYjd7wm
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHQPbKyPmj
"I did." Leo thought about it for a second. "I'm still going through it sadly."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYzTtR7v9Z
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNbq9cPCZ1
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJfBpuwz9
Angel knew what Leo meant. She bit her lower lip to keep her mouth shut to avoid saying anything stupid in public.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdH3rP3guo
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz1yYZ09b8
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfiDvZnSc5
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UibXXaKA9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZ67MF2b7
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GRBJCizNV
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISvI8pq8qt
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gCsvhqU1k
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDibPPg0WJO
"Leo?" Kim looked just as shocked to see him. She turned to look at Angel beside him. "Angel?" She chuckled a little to hide her shock. "Hi. What are you two doing here?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2T4c9ZDk3
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNheFqL7pE3
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3jWGZ6Lf
"We came to buy some croissants," Angel answered quickly, holding up the bag. "Mr. McDonell asked if we could get him some."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZBWyEy9y
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQAp8yo1z9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMknVhYWd1G
"Oh, I see," Kim nodded a bit. "I came here to get a bite to eat. Had to rush quickly to the office, so I didn't get to eat breakfast."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFkmmzKi8E
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirQPOjjGHu
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNjPvJYyLD
"You should definitely get something here," Angel advised as she stepped out of the café to stand alongside Kim. "They make yummy pastries and delicious coffee."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmergSFQQN
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqYKfNsHr
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKhoClVj8f

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXaqrTRJJJ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhgVPFdbMl
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cXVQZivLO
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49oJrJ8pWU
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ6b9fYjqX
"We better take these while they are still hot," Angel said, quickly turning to Kim. "He's expecting an old friend soon and these croissants have to be there before then."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatbT8q3J7I
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMPKqDJx9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyAGRwPXk7
"Oh, no problem," said Kim, flashing a bright smile. "We'll see each other soon."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U20NpvmRn
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YpA3Az4Q4
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJoV7CdA0A

620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoVZgsbc1U
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zIiiMgWX5
"I'll see you around, Leo," Kim said to him. Angel noticed Kim's cheeks redden.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPvY72V2R9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIjpTV6CKj
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLld8nBRnft
"Uh..., ya, see you around, Kim," Leo managed to say.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdUBltNx5H
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW5OJTkDg6
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFAxdmgY9Y
Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4cnqKBjll
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDXKc15cC
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBe1wOijHL
"Well, that was something," she said as she turned around to make her way to the car.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcLWYRF1zK
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9oK2RCnfl
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbytSLnOull
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowEqau7uWI
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFjyyePKM9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTsFmHpURr
"What do you mean?" he asked as he followed her.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEDvXMmgFi
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZUAmFEKQq
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZJ1nno8q9
Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2wc24CUhC
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ339nptmLXZ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPZsuGSTDJ
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs7ZCBZEA9
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUudvu2MJ2R
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP07DoaXeE
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sTI4Sfjdm
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RFEzOndqZ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHthE0NTm4
"Let's get to the office quickly, Bill," Leo heard Angel say to Bill.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcLL0EVrd7
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnh0jc21Qd
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjAGZD2jvE
"Of course, Miss," Bill answered, switching the car's engine on. "Wasn't that Kim I saw talking to you two?"620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVxMbNZu2D
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVHqC4ipiX
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhqsfAqhsC
"Bill, just drive," said Leo, folding his arms and hating Bill for bringing her up.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm4AeY5k4K
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7j7MD10OF
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4XMzIL28z
Angel laughed. "Let it go, Bill," she said. "You know better than to say such things."620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2u5dHDEqO
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsSWulfgXq
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMQaPK3IVS
Bill chuckled as he put the car in reverse and Leo looked out of the window, hoping for the day to end soon. But he had a feeling that his day had only just begun.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ulgVtCGUz
