“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3cjVbv6f
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2zh9ztsOZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF7jGAAFoR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXOQRkXR1x
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdGcKOmbUK
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgFrrG2PiB

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAYtFacxdy
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntVthkqekj
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgGePycErQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7x5IFVo90
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWnxwSV75s
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMacFTmvtC
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIDjMJEyfA
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg1w0EDyeO
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0AVdBHFsi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn6Jfv1kDi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ4uTcAzMH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7JdNnWGJo
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktYxq20j5h
want to say it.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6BdOpM4u1

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fm3MbX99r

“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFWqJDl3qH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCyRT0Otfx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxfu2ynRuj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTJzSKnGwS
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQxP2SbY6L
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7xECE7Ma3
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1NUHwlsOd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd77wGkRUb
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRx6eee4gm
because that’s just how she is.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVoP1G7vGe
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa5kHdNNwt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpH3LSJPOJ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FUAWGMZMQ
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Wh4xoGKO
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TZAimOsQr
your fun.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjY4hh1Gdp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkADa7jHUD7

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3HGPNbovu
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWkVEYh2Kj
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiTG9M2cz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQQ8SA304x
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcku9HPrNP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lHMEq9J4q
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOTpf6Vnr
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjtTvPp1EE
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXazk2Cugy
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP44F5fBECl

“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLvElFlkAF
thoughts.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe988hvh8js

“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcubR92DINd

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPk56B6C58
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue5hdbU6nJ
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTOmW5ywUR
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG8IKYPPX5
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxQ0wFa7PM
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4bQQmSMl8
that they should join Angel and the others.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4PDI2GAl7

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sLz46AkkK
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRe1NmIvfj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnG2twdbQI
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2omHDoijC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtFxf15uyM
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtvWjg0Qx
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT39q0zB92c

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZnbG1cady

a drink right now.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5oACq3zOL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx1kCxCXWg
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi09fBdNog
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrPfYgEvsS
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdam5oEMKa
their sight.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt7vmwVXsx

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgFxxoJKWa
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLZv2WiVdk
they aren’t at their table.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9lPlQYHON
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGeOEKCKEM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPII2I94n9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKwDSPQeaz
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH3voh99Pg
the counter.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVHXhXcTmK

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITWusRxkab
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHTtX24d7o
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIlZtq2FiE
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOivC7o7s4J
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUotvKTPIb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf37aCBL2VY
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EUtHadikI
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8oNiRS3SR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVe0vcRB6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1MuyHb0vn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpurBidDK0t
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeYuhVtuEs
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAt61T0EYz
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxguv5ZDq8D
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbXh7dmVl7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqktMHCuYdh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOe1O8PzN5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjX9sNrF9s
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJapG44Q5F
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6NfXAQKTE
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtWJToqP9x
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK1Xk6cqzl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdcgbb6ro0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29ra9t2il
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ybAMIZeje
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHTjofGD8B
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYZIJnnMn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJrXs2bmRj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbstpcQvHtg
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvlDRdmI5A
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAuuZ4A6Su
would speak first.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKyBj6bPaw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Rl9jmygu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX2MnDdCuk
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZVa0ILGqy
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uPbeNxzxC
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsU2R3nBCV

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiARApZpgPu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQIpbXbzln
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR7va0ZnRu
he gets here. I really need to step out.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj82eEln1r
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWoSlJAPHd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RB6mIzmZM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau8aVT2V3Y
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH27CgHTSZX
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZ2G9S4Gg
it was hopeless to do so.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9um300RVWH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEOipfFTPG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlYXVkO0Kk
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rtHN29xFO
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvwxkMFpvY
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSZwiTImvC
Walters calls.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxCEo9OOB

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiv6XS32Vf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRby1x5hpE3
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAv2lcBG6C
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiorybjtA3e
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T1ZIcLx0B
minute.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSmIsydQ31
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkToo3Ibb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0TMF34s70
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d3Tm2HPly
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Snm1gg6Rj
door.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQs7lxEN2k
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxfi3Nbv0o
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ejmL2dc4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRbk5OT7Tz
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWqQfUAsk
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExTjpJ0Ubd
any moment.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL2ii8prjI
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1QHKHZZzx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡernHqyp22X
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kzXy8iaZP
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxFtqcB3gY
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xH9rZo61
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNr4o2SH0H

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjFTeGzK4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKOJ84sQMb
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhuQUmHF4Q
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueCLMIa5xu
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbkdKOAKO
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsyoD22hEY
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUHavrFaFo

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2X7b6r6f0
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhcHAOCarH
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4MQoxkJUZ
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA95Vcx6ap
next day.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPlRlGFYVg

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvWd8Gucx2
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoF0XBkEU2
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3adPfrXJZ
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaMAQji5Vr
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM5RUzdkQb

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6cJVusMEo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75utEk1fYF
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs21VUhP7Va
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLvRN2YojM
Eric and shook her head.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxQZARB6jh

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlvBQ79zc6
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N9H73QfFJ
thanked him as Leo sat down.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxWxoAs35
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAnJlOm7KT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRepewZUpdN
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViXtbPBuyZ
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorqQa0Rm7L
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aP3hVPfDT

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d85Do3i2y

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMp3s8LCu2
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjAe8tevsa
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoEEbSrZwt
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3SPEKMqrG

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyh9CD90LA

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyUCHJTkOL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PHr2YEAxt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatrtfXPrCN
“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCibutpjVe0
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfzZNy4Q4I

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ595ruVGBta
they all burst into laughter.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEWJSyOiti
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefFOMQV4yK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAMDg7AFOe

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzjVopQIth
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fB0cEGE1O
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYiy5iFvBF
supposed to inherit it, not me.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtXuVv6SHT

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf56pFFcPJ
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBQ1nBp9MM

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsDBkZRcaP
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXuPgWeFbJ

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTtpgIbuR0
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQebeywmbf
out his hand to get a nacho.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fgbd5ttVa
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWc5LQ2ZJV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXu1047DPb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQN0v16wc7
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WqO7Gcbmg
afterwards.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzorElvy5zr

head.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg7d8SXKx5

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9w3l8L5Qw
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2y1lNU3h
the future.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZwdvYKld

“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNf3SyDjHW
later, when he’s older.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRwBQH3JNw

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg0qIL3MpA
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YXPOu4Idc

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxu2cF2QGL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKVSH1dA5B
Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmkxDmJtI
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkecIjZzrZ
the statement.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZWoT8SEW2

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMNb4THZfN
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwnVdSzCFp
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe3cZDUO6L
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJU4j6kJNm
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EhnRhLYHX
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn91XWbQsKW
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq5vflAuyp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4NSK0Q1J
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKDv8BoRRK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntGovCaV0e
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbYth4go0g
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV71xy0QeOB
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIQtcICqhB
elsewhere. What should she do?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQenl4QSn4S
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgWiixuURY
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgH01POB9R
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e0kerK9iC
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnIgBnlXLh
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHJF2Loyvh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo97lnWK4HF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm1GnEPxUf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEVb2W33o

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvEWivHLho
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0qMaScFiy
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LwOdBWyk6
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MzBJ2ICAo

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDbIbRhVTu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Y4pN01hc
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB78Vx3cOBQ
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8WYh6UyDl
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgODPLUKSz
necessary.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlSoa77W35
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRXYK6zZei
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOcz7bzDx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyMUej0CLS
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHD49ypfjF
know.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MQH805r7I
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFigi5I3H0a
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eFOdm4yBD
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ625b8qDpIR
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZI7yB9uf
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIqcONED4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB6SXbTCCK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYZVCcqHvc

Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVMLwGVMDw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyU1CLpokf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkIIBI8Zci
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9OlO0AmsI
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B2OSoKlIS
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oZ3CsUBuU
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dh5YtWNav
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQT7PpXnPf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM6Xx1db58
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvOdQTrV06
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7AeFbG6g4
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8aKW9hDbj
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCVk4mCfDM
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uc2aHhAJR
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjD6X4IJHH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVUeHtDib
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCejXekOPn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCaFyDm21U
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kzFH9z6E3
us.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9CCz5lYoI
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO4jupqe39
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPG5NVXvrL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhtrBAy9LF
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG4YEnN6jl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVIzIPk4iK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKDETpT68i
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEM94X6fmZ
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05LwR1ucyt
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZi8xeVgx

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMonrgS2Pd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNvT0wnlL3
Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjWubE9gVJ
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsVg5YUqO5
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPai93gvw1v
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyecMeeUk8X
counter for a drink.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBRKCz511d
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNZjTWzDVg
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyLXED10sq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1x3Wcap2V
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ009XURxEt9
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwis8G6vNR
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRXamZCJQZ
has.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCvY0w1Hlr
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H18ETggnJ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ySJY2YeMR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbEtUMlhmk
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wNSijyUrX
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qqxbHo65B

“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYp0VUqG9y
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP6LOJM3Fu
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQN7FRzFI2

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWcc8cpliH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44CcNvTlFl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0nOst0H1G
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxN5EckRqx
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXo0XZ3GP1
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9sAKEWnN
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0hamkSNyz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3IskLaFYp
“Like I said before, if you want to, you can leave,” said Kim.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq1fQwkhJf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvKy52ljny
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqZs3OmRup
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRQFi0wUu
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02QoQrSaPg
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7hK7RSWqx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxo9HtveNZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ao3wbDWs
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vgSYVeFnU
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuvAzPRK9Z
just as jealous as I am,” she said.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbalAtqdb7G
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yHYZgZXKq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyXQO8JuUZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTTRIQuPbW
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WwqIbEClO
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LXjBzDh2J

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5wRjSvUCl

Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccLSWs4v6R
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK13IPmi06

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AbdSqxKl7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfs8epl2t
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlb0LU2aIj
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eg1ZHUQeJ
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC0bp24ugq
go of him that easily.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2v0GwPyfE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8eRfmky6i
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EP4TnySla
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwnBVrbCPE
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkgPw5etM
was going.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bI6i4RfQF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHdVqkMBqK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtqsM7OEbw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHXv9l51PA
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQaYeSkJ8k
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMam5yxHZ8Z
isn’t going to do you any good.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pNxeJrkLq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoeEzXibSr
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJVFmQRbWB
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYZ6eTpxKx
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLP7LhqTyk
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQoY4Cb71
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uvc4xpblb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YZ2zigSN

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qncQNe4YT

“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT4UF7RexG
your promise after you see this lover of his.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1UojJDNGu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKnMtZvgbO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymIaOttjuZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Tw1hOO9s
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpYkeDiJmH
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcLlfjyl6j
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQBXI1rHSG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ56acbGcE

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDXH4wMxjU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rQebXAMgT
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3OjCBlm5n
us some drinks.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL8nJ6LRJo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mIQ1ZUOQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXZWiZgONA
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtIPCnE3FL
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUafbBSBaD
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQmVQ0v3dV
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT21gic9TN

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uMHnhg1Xj
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZoVEhTbuP
she didn’t even give them a second thought.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSOyLdeKim
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOaymRO5Zs
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV5GfgXAe0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSiwvY6kb9
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDIUll4CDt
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTv1wmVZPv
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOUMafFuKs
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHyUvZ8sFd
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvOv7h6XEt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh258lrnYS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9YdXtKa8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LAO3Btp6z
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj8D2UBPsV
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNgTbyO9ZL
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzIFVFr7AY
she wasn’t too careful.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPXTN7P5VP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3XKduOV9M
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzFmylTnJF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5WsgW2QLN
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QSaHsEDM
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xodjgRl6o
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRlya847Nd
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNjXY9RbTK
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHpzNrO3ED
things.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vTlHrMHzd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SzVYutqG2
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rwvu8JdkC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NyqiEwxQk
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Z1wgGKAq
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qvhizdLFX

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhjof8VzLs
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8pIRkYB6b
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6gfFW5rBV
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAR8LuEJfJ
her face.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQI94XDusj

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYlpY7jmM

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfUVcwsTmT

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v6LZzv7Xj
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxGMsDSFN

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TcBHsQ2fg
embarrassing moments when you were drunk?” he asked.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAknZBqHjqI

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7V4yiFHxj

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V0KCUYlPw
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4XwIjOoew
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eExorMXPR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgQq1zJsB1
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpgEGdlFMF

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7JKcU0dr4

“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrYkeywnBq

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDvC658jBn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONg2hdfv9i
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9A14E4Uaj
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfJAOGa373

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlcHU8VNtJ

are considered classy.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtnC8JkFGq

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLNdvPb5Eg

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoAXpwr2v7
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZHI42M1zS

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOqZkYTZ1x

“That’s being too sweet, don’t you think?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvZBaD2fSn
Marco.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWh6dXkAU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKURigbYgI7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8noPfiLMDt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pm1LEflUs
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvxgWp2k3L
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu57oKiuaez
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP02bEQKJz

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv2MyRSpUQ
Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LM6Xo61Fw
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqydCyPI7R
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJisZxv9pkl
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfMjb5RD8
sincere.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnxS47tcI2

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEWCjvqog8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFTkHmMGYW
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aeeAMghMg
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1pZXEwibJ
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicRiP6Ei7o
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWMhbUU4w6
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7PQ5OAg0v
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zIr8NSmlb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqhwWlsqT0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbSWqxjXKm
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjvfjzuNUf
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHqJKxrM5S

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKzhYyxpzH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPkH5ZsoRN
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGWMVo1UPm
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4IHAmx3V
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbJc0GLkeF
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEDrNSHCFG
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1rFI9qodh
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa82Fys4wBR
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLeE1pPIcb
for it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7paTF2LsME

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXJfv01p24
really needed to take a breather.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrifOD9QMD

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfMOHmnqRC
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZm7Yq89O6
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmp8KFHyV
though she had woken up from a bad dream.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIhaf4RRsq

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tmzhJV6mW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZmhvd0LV
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYgQIwllSm
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41bzrwOvAq
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwLqfQ2py

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyU69dwadB
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pTuP4cYWs
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSoEWGur3p
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7O9o3g3pD
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM29s2I3Zm
herself.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTNtBarUQ9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dBcEGN2OC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8ORXrkxA
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8UAKF5vZA
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv45FUkDr7
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ytQLDVyk
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX8MUzcgXp
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVZtn4Tkwj
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gOk70oNqQ
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqdxHS89aO
notice her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV5GdCZGPI
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1m6rlPfI1
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi4HQTdu47
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0BjIth6PW
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnccVDeUMyz
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCdCHHVkTd
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDySwkP0huH
own business.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyNYFYrk6z
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO661Wply8k
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42pFl5PURw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnDkehtRP5
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9fDogf3wP
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicZ6R6Mi0M
surprise.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtoOaue7uo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ilNgvl5lV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZRFjaxvm
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1xR7Wv0HM

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJchMAmpJc
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHC3LsXD5F
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDF6dOuUwJ
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMULlczD3MJ
“At the candy store.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMsvzSpaB6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPPmLBVheK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQwHjP4pD6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncV1uXMyjn
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxuDTXkXax
bumped into that moving shelf.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj5hER21Dd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEKyStSi5U
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqaPLs4v4L
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8FLDiUo5p
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhVX8SibCP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxwFaskenS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmldSxrQMv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxaZ1ZZbfT
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd995O3i31Y
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCE8Fa8Yno
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78sN9Mt1Ms
forever.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WN2dRdivQ

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9c9OsB3Ou
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIZ18fnaEv
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8hWfN1ZpE
their conversation ended here.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4OSFI9v8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFym4NMki8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb4iBW6mx9

“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezrQgNkRnv

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87nPfjiAHd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBmK1u9PMz
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc3v9PHLmw
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdFlIdHUeu
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme3CoGv5XJ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGzEQsHdq6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkAZw0JNNh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcpM56IcRF
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Y3gSUl92
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoocciqPdI
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEe1aBHcMB
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMuwPIUNxU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIwfrpcZHR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwp0Mupd31
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIAh96dxwk
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4enoC3Wf
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxLt7D3Vmu
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYhHVn6LHc
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrtX9jZZmU
leave, but after she finished her martini.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqWLoOfV9N
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYJ8fjBvlM

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zsmCjpDv1
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CshdH57ew
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZmEGRqYT7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ139sJLgG3e
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVIuM3406U

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8wYZA24ZV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQqmxzQS2c
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4DnLJwqlG
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1dySY5DFe
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO0DGNUn0s
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWldTHfn3G
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpy9gfkurn
“I thought of sitting by the counter and peeping on him,” Kim suggested.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS86TFFJSM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzF0WTMuMd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yL5sSKpoh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnss854au7p
“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJBxme6LzP
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qZ6wQ9rhU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrwLywRh8F
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXtLCSZ9Iz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jHIomPliT
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcCmcTMFgd
Kim’s shoulder.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEKcJgR17X
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ517RLcBNg5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS3AHkNS4i
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUkvzVOtgI
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctOt0SgnB7
idea. We should get out while we can.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAIFqS9JMe
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiluafkqMgF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9WoXMQMKc
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrKPGJ8rJ7
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90zXjeh07z
the conversation. Let’s go.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyW51lopcy
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tPF8xlUdm
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnbzh9mCHh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH2lT6t9OX
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0YYhyZN8
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwIlRMm4ee
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUE0BlVCJf
were able to see Leo’s table.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVmQvzRhcx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjFekOjVFu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSPsERsKaI
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmVyKP2DUU
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnwnYHfBw
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm9WrN9UOO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBfWhVmE9j
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpXFpkrBJ5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChorlzJnkT
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5V6W0CNnh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xZwUdfHBT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcAdyLxepQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5jeo3ULXT
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zSryhvTvO
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOf0S6oVCf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPBm23L8Cb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH2sPs3duQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYb8Qa7QtV
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrAcL7USKR
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nEhgECQgH
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf2lkOseRa
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJEbnBalAE
counter in anticipation.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl2nvp5wSH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxAH3LQTLM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyXk1VPomU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCFLNSVK4P
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE2GhB4qFD
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6kaMcVSqO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N79b8ZmeC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWy5L1ZYgy
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuTycs8BWj
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Y3wspO4V
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6rgtT0K6G
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF80M7fbBW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76H18paAvU
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ybiKwhrS5
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0qzuCnwQ5
head.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrz2j2nsCa
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQrRhioHo4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22qCurjsG3
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0RlBYNzF
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSuw8zELYf
not at that intimate level.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKpcBUZXgL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPGvs8DcEC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmh3sGHmv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvfuFTo04t
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rv2kPFGvd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67gGmy04Yp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6itCURhjmU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8X6B2OLuX
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTytsOwAH
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ904nd03hLG
he was being friendly to me.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvka4zaOU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gW8zBtayU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXhkS9ILUU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdZKcf3eLz
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDMCyvjdqg
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVjmdppGhi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicZXh4ssL3
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFKZWebxa2
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmK9bIJtUl
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKwtnRb2Id
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFmQQ3Qm66
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDpRTfqp2V
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaK3uFVzDJ
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGNXBIKc75
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP72rJKDlAD
counter.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99FrrDMhJ4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyiE8r6tC0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP4dRVGYDP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2iFD9oR4w
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ykuKAqb1
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eSod6vnrd
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXqD3iyZj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64gw1FZfF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRhOXkRa4c
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBq4rnSIdv
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaIyMXQPO9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO0v4gnGuo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOaNdWHbJT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1hk56nJmJ
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWSPgL6K9X
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeigHc9iwGe
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr66rN5QQR
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAjJWmXDql
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3iIbP39zw
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqv42tO4iS
that was different from Carly’s.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8VbG94LT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHXbd4eXEV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99ChEbDgt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifUa3yNpY3
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw1mqOcwim
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixqgBh92SS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3DxIrRksl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5cfr5BNBm
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAzteQgfa
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9PupDhw1x
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8SJCsf0y
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBF12UG9mF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8F4zwAgS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXhnhflTFe
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr0yD10IZa
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SvydAwEJF
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwrvbR733U
doing here?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBt4Mnog0v
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ928kHCgI7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT6sLpAYyF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDOM31GKhX
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCkjTafHzk
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUNaTUjXPR
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBxsVspTCU
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOXUhJfwTG
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEgtBc5iUg
surprised look.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppqc5hvhYR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaatjvn0uR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK49nPcTmRE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdarSTjG8m
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cKsRdVFi
get her attention, but she thought better of it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsMTtlDzI8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JaQNjG1Ba
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSdKfoFNEy
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRKtaWXyHd
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLccGzIhGt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszrMTJMFPp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfXNyK1omv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWYOs6erGh
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg9jL0EUWl
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTENyoqJor
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnX90wXc24
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjepIdpxhE0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4EIhagtHk
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoXmMSjV7v
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr36OzSZxG
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLILyopwk5
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ210mg08Mfv
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD0k6ydkCR
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgh2rk2L14
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiKSSfgAoB
the table.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnyXKqVhsL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JSniROnSJ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96cUwAVVmP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq8w5KzhvA
“What was that about?” Eric asked.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhWEnMv0f
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyyUZ8S42r
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQZqKKjDXf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sdmpzPmw3
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3bSjERI9d
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9gtQVjh3P
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu6PprRJ3y
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmChF5KsFzL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWrTIGABzx
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSnUIoFBtR
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XXGgm4Bql
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l4MveD0nO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxjrFEnohR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhqRCXoWYC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3zHrdGKte
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6demHefJG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97hxy4EUdZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZJyWRryO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHhEidAVK
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNdnOlFRzi
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EGKYZpIXb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJEwmb03QL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljlb64Ika
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcHXEvgzRA
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshxoJViAPP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfcFUjre1m
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAzbydbgZn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdcNbWRPKa
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrttnpZf8f
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jMhPMEn9Z
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFAVeaLsnM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKtWFbNHrP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIOXo8bhcf
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy73ajYCGff
said Marco.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0eCwv2vFH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhiCM6OPLC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LSKpQTUt0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oQqT34g03
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uCz3t33kt
more handsome than you.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCpOQbMagQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ186yZW2LrF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj7D3mdl77
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPPPi3NXQg
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C8rWRqtKn
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV4IwOfkSm
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF86XdwVPY
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sMOQ6bzIV
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIVLUcdYmm
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIJzQcB9Jp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS9wOhNiBS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3KHMr2xNb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0gu82qdc2
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KvAkxvaY0
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEyMkn0VxO
thinking about.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPHCSqO5Oy
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGPZbeWrSW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDRsbiEekP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ908BU48j9d
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4aKCYanz0
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbRi5IZ1k
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRFMTnhoD0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAI1YcM9ml
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUGGO8vcJE
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJ35k1kfo
brother’s face.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwKdOx7SjW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a30JzmB8q
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJ6icAova
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uckHQCBjM
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUICUMEXIdC
at Oliver.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV73n0vMOl5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGE4RO9r1m
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvXU5FyuB7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4L3l33kG
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtXtfLBxzh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUHc6cdAb5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqbU5MLt1d
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCMqB7yEq3
“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeFzNkrkKd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxImuvdp9dv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtyk5vBYeh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VpMllZrpk
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4WRGhgLr3
heading out too.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpZ9RLS21g
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wZ5HBiRB
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNw2T6KAA5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4kcbWlzGA
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB3orFkB30
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXSBISpEFC
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9EWaG3A4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiVwTqg23j
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3vpKzYRwt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGGiYwrpZL
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzXY86Icx
way home.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hwLh14Uij
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6l51z9qWH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKzIyb6zdG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYaLgJ1Meq
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsgV9U3zWk
here.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYddpnH5e
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64r9bJf0Ky
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu6fK2ymHn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqnQ3QPvXu
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq21iLnBMz
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrNpj2RCiB
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPhauUC55H
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVadgfpDDc
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2YCc5vfF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxU9XTH45
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKowCFApVYe
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPnO9s7aSJ
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZVuyG0iiS
little longer.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxk1QDnE76
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhARMxlpz6a
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPedqGy9CkR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXC04EMJak
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrPXYAaUeG
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsxkQ5cxQQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BrKjhKpOL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOsgYtFl6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep1CHH362x
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzH8VVPi8l
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRWYOgjArr
get your number, Angel.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5LgVbWho
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVa3V7qhf3
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhbswp5nG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hKabrZdPI
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt99gsPJea9
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AsWLaJ33b
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArtcfFHIdE
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXQXMnpDts
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7efzizIpT

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvwH7hV19G
should do this sometime soon.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzFZIeQxSA

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbxqkMM1G
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1cSUgaLnr
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWMIBpZXB
difficult.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx59IoMDSeu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMtcub0Je
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr2EpgpXag
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPySKOWwR1t
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfAio2Phqy
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJxOOFDdWV
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAynIwqmYQ7
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAJvcsYXj

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZEltPsUbd

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfBYGa2GWf
much at all for a while.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FMkNVaLdw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeKWFHHPga
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeBXoeDZZT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEl3LpYBYp
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSwPaxqkq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94a9CH5Ufj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4iAUDz1Go
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhyDjXWryP
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaNd8Uk4tD
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFdqujRiAq
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4kY0gpQW9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWqTh1TnFa
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOefsWtfTta
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmuvl8e7P3
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qJG8Kq1z8
home.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpizd5hfeLP
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJ8BA7QbV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFpI7O5Dx6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORR0Tt20q
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisVtLW869h
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iOD0Ve2wS
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuujn3u5a7
Miranda might still be around.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD3kVjfAY9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxJIicID5G
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVGGTr6Rrp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7dmnW8SIQ
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7krASe8cH
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjPDv1Ehrm
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gxvWavkjv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZw4g4B3j
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkProxnWbGo
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGwpkEP6cz
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow38KdNZDj
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVQt4W15UD
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVav5o0DU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlob6ryPjMU

around?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZHc0iyz5W

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxBgBrp8F3
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3JZIOQANa
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVnMQiFGLa
the bar area.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSVtMSIuyk
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8NpUhAali
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3bB0JPEOn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNfDYqmivF
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92kWsNHyrc
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtvfIvM68t
they started to stand up.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bYy5vV1R8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uu9dDXUSF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWEIuuvzHW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOdKFwXlC9
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13wWJb3HmE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxLDX4dyBX
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHiPPPwdW9

“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncVBrTGjGb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMQzfxhcMy
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhjN9MTsmH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EvFahkAVa
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTKcCuZW2J
see.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfOJBTfW7O

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdojmL6tyz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF69QYV8eZ0
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUPLCbM180
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzs95RLpv
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G3nNX4XIC
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm4cUwnBce
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44mIaV1Wed
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3RBHOsZxe
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllH4HDZxXX
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0YMyvjMAJ
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxoDiywMQj
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM560vv5Kt
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQXDkdJ2Ua
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56QVkQu7yw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2bCdmjZo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM28pqAsluB
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vCmYmR8T
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7YF9xaWo6
seen us.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPG5WxpE6p
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Pn5swSU7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QuYliJrL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzuZSaNv0D
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtq6Ub4ADe
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bo2G35JY6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnwJ8vZjT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4NphsIVWy
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlhBhkg6pX
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj7oinKTKE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZnRxJ8F0n
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzJYxRgk9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5DfQxNUo3
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVWImx6Cky
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJbniWvO5E
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFXvDvxrr6
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tZyRDDCwL
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVmvK9UGWU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo5wo15wwS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j6HOVcZvg
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSmf2K4DJp
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARUdVQTuqQ
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYItmamR1
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RrgYyCiH
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEycWBOxiWR
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsY7pqQZz3
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnPq7ras6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjfAJaASl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7c6garbS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUrQ7bj5h
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1clmFif1wl
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO8GPO4ISb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn16iEj1nx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4TGx1YG31
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrgQ0m3223
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy6NsuRYhL
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y8V7vpf3B
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauFFHRqplF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWgJKbAYf8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSnwRWWc8e
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxVK6aUKQG
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R3uk0XXug
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRndoHhYcZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWKmZSQHeZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztpgzwBLI9
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBFI9smpa7
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7PCEPoWO0
this wasn’t over.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTTIbPCI2
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf6LAX8PJv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYXagzNR9K
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3RLIWkHaa
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tewIinJoy
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6hgOyomqE
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh2cFHImV1
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmKv8qLPQp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBSwmpuwO2
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm76NhAE63M
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcI1oMtT9m
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiYkX1pJ4A
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQRQS9Ll8i
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeRbmxGkaB
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLFYeqLaT9
favors," said Angel.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXXwPfpgHu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWGMEbuRwu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAeX6Ed7FH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgXbCSj6LI
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyaQo5RbVy
they been there?"294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyEEIHpk3y
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd80wxSd9oj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGIZMH0DE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqgFO049Ba
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCrochta9
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAMyWvcKqk
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmYO1Vc6lK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9uBjEg84e
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMAwtPhGc0
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwigIWDkEPw
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1JpvVC6i6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn9Mz9Cx5Z
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGFtye45n
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPuiWIfQ1T
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3KMhJAqz
so you've got to be careful from now on."294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9L4MBLmqu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E3ZMjVRyK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNRPgRtHhn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ6lIbOpSb
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvetpwcQnp
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuvSCEWnxd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lmFbSMpHS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOfHrUuNI2
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P3UL0w5Gs
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0QSGsr1dG
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkatcsVU20i
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswhKY8MUE9
night only.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWf09D9Ozi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJO7Hrfbz6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rNCxhsNp8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUxVtvCkFm
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3fgzc4ny1
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZNk8ilYCz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9tRT5sDES
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYCykbh46l
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvq5HB2qTO
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6cnC2LEh
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9u2rQXpoS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wuRycr6aN
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimYCe4wSuY
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XszaHoOnS
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsz7VC6IDS
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolatYxAUA
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBs7bcx7H7
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkR7A2FpaI
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrYK06g5rx
want one?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkXD7A8MXJ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCM5Lsx0ga
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz02Rytra8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR9DQGAGXe
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYWabRvmNl
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q6esP0gI9
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFDmm7p83c
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRYUteGvW0
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN41VLhRw7J
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptxtCttV2r
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7yFehAsIr
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZphuX8FON
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qhkFRv38d
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiqZTPCb2E
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuEU7WfsPM
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQz7hqGiQJ
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjvsyxhMcX
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxcmJJuwAw
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW0HzDiav8
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vy5Tn5fvg
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJsWV65X29
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwZpPWx9ZS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1VMLR733W
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO85sLGpuS
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBttnrTiegA
relief, it was Walters.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi2zmlisRc
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8oy39y0f9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9YmdzKU4g
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGYLVlJue3
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiEYpksDsk
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGcVT7VFGN
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenkDlmFAnh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR4r0XNBMj
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2khvomukU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0N6UyEWh9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgObPKOgtk5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD3Onsn1si
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLoX5Xwv7G
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWHrJT3Bcj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSZeDV617
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA5XBUEj57
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHTy6SacQ9
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6i7hjGgzM
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIGOItWW2x
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWdOmviAZX
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3qpCVROeH
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPKQOlM7GS
Lion?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1PF2zhI0J
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdDxn0LhYO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTSa8JgWHi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3nUFZNUD
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv2dMQdRfX
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq2W5DAF6a
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufO2DpwQUY
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpykDdtia5r
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ls5m7WulF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjFmcyF34a
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9drtsuewTr
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPl68VilDn
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Lpl7FCJO
