“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdBPklf3qE
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LzjkAp4u

“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qAIFyEjA

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx8fvXBfdv
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEx80r54Op
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXW4uPLtWZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsA3ugelDQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYgPrjaOY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICDIh0yvBy
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFIXgVfALl
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxamUAQ3geb
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn5BSLVVBL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkANwCB4xqw
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSaPpUHftZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUOlf5AaUc
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69BXaizpul
want to say it.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGsGisYprJ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHDkVD4nzO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lBrsgdQAB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQbjfOA01l
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuvw86UCqu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfufCGDHh9B
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVI8cLYSFw
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlkURlzYMz
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTyKgTPyQG

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpi3htjZm3

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpjMHgdUO3
because that’s just how she is.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe30a9lod9
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D8DMCEcug
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK0H5t83Sc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds73DZ7mpw
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKzpPby1YT
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uaL2EMDcg
your fun.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaZyg9EY1V

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszZACSJBHZ
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoai5cCc87M
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mVqdWauz4

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z3nshopzF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE1mCCYED2
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6llWZjaQv
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72OBzjGbbd
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlaZIcRMy9
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqbJAOkslJ

“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqkiTM9nGl
thoughts.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoyOgtRGTp

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1HEFfuGZE
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXvBj0mjIf
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi8QeIbKLK

too?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiLS7Z7VAM

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ2qnfwx2r
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3xrub2I6G
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBOoEcWzu
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9xfCjMjOr
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVaiI78XU4
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmkqWmr7M
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2kNXH29Vv
that they should join Angel and the others.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxla85Iqmn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dapISLA6c

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh06E2YUFb
Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60LD0WnMzO
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCfqXoEYzF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3qPAfSxm
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXcVwi9Pez
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v1hr2MJNt
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHMIbmMJhS
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRgQheb1g

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H55HLfmNZ

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeeKPcAOyM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrDbrRPbyF
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi6oQrJkaZ
a drink right now.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTOcfoIO8K
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UXUziR4ym
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWihiCjINBq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6PUZMcq3v
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWp71fAOWV
their sight.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJevGY5Ayu

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGXZRgPz3k
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8JIH0RHGE
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEOkvTsjKT
they aren’t at their table.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ro6M7qV3N
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJuIJGAWKt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhD71of3hm
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ220eTzccle
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS0YMNr6uv
the counter.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFXI1XNAh

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKho8jqixm
Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9IcRu55tP
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrAhl9sUqC
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQxF1tHXGB
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdBsBlMDQD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkR307xqih
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWPDOwWaVG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaNyZQPwQR
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OlcaftEGa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxvohh1rsI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJdh0mT8fl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxoL0t3SUH
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10sGKe7SAQ
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc139JWqeIZ
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfd1HKrBqD
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVzVkISewG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcWpSov6s5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZktbo46V
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMoJD21YEt
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5s8DF466o
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXzt2egAB8
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDL17j16s
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo56AzbfJWa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQbdp2uwW
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88BxFmeYef
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqU2udv04E
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaELzDod2M8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyIfmaPufo
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zUiOmxoMi
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49NSfqrN9m
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6IrR5r1Ux
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRBeHFIMUJ
would speak first.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnf2aRTX3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiPspAsOS4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtT6A06Q1B
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHwmG0SVvn
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvSlRik1V
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE4Iya7fbz

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB6c7Lm6iu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGMjZYuGv0
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsPadUURzc
he gets here. I really need to step out.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkBlMBnGBE

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKOdvETjZG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjd2Vaf695
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6veHi08Y75
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXCfXgbIlD
it was hopeless to do so.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO540BR111
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OBlxmIyeD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbBCaB36WH
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4O5SGI9GT
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfujcQbvo4
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLbvNR0nDx
Walters calls.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWVD7kVuxP
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcO1sEx7hl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcUIaQ2SJi
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjXSljZkB
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4QBZ8498
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7M7P1CzHG
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9aIduAVjD
minute.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsTiJ6wZJD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGzYMGpAsZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABKP6NC6eS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfV1r56UjE
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VDl27Wnkz
door.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM7kNNZHry
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN0Pf0arXg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fgdJxX8CI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTXSv4Z4P4
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpKVeUV1q5
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV1njCkPM6
any moment.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4FjN02wof
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c0CxVDC7u
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfDDdME91X
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g9aPSnsu4
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoojMKA3pbY
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD4LYiIZko
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yWUYrHexN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDxvxAHxVp
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzctmSsrDN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxtkAv18EQ
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGqerxG5zv
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD9YbqyHdc
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJND6U55oc
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiWKzphZNU
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7uy48cfRu

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX8tkPg5lw
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4rI0o2qDf
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCIvgivFQg
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaRBICgV60
next day.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBzUCGfYJ

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZrHutImvx
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsqDg1Rg0H
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wPvMluOI
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jJzvCEVCO

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3curEX4BT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsxKaFehwE
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VH4a1SmrN
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJX2CJXCI
Eric and shook her head.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mBavI11Dx

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5LmYCL4kI
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3pfe0Arew
thanked him as Leo sat down.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91KPiZDiXC

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWKAyFhmmU
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16RQ8Zw20c

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9sgR8iBpu

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh4n4rDzNY
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz19TNP3Wv6
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHKHqSztMt

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycxHpqQpfl

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MP675UlU6
they all burst into laughter.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9plFRUc4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2agwTgYaU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oSEiwJYPo

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NnQkhvIgI

supposed to inherit it, not me.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69t7hZosP

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZxW1lkRxs
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl0aeXyeAo

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB4X8oH4mB
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgENdZbIqCC
out his hand to get a nacho.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZY1KpT9SJ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIb9M3pqd0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOf74eRypF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bxP0YW2xg
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSKkPGXU4
afterwards.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqu7Ja6ItZ

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTJR4GAZjk
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZY21DCHQ4

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1dzpCFi4G
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1a07Tuu27
the statement.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPBLJTJj8

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnZBE5DCcM
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcujr4RFezI
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jBrYkTDCJ
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hbeb7QuXB
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ36hkrhAsU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrfdtw45O3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrFoCXfEq3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa8rpJLdpc
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW47RLCkq0A
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbAlIVRfRV
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfvOjNsND
elsewhere. What should she do?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzZ0KHEeau
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJO5mo2qVE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOadSSS1s5m
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw2QPEP2JA
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj4QEgkji9
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4wbNMYoT0

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd3zV37l7s

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2vU9iwkLc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC7r7I397q
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8G2q7ICMW
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9jbpO425J

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU13PhA6Wx
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCXkrdRCX6
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfU0M9sxQn
necessary.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmxjJpbnvo

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjb789i2uN

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tHh4SQVl

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzISpGIAGm
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfjvzR0gD
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK2Uc2cfnK

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SRNxyViFD
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILPbQQ4s31
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMUHu1njnA
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgXk7R62XY
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceimSwpu3H

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdmrAkxf5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa24G2Q4z6o

us.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw204uhBHw

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwCPEdKtNr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI16O9UPGI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G8vtHoOt7
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsWZmEorDM

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLpLwfhmOL
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAU0vBuP3s
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntF3ZWWl33
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStrOT98l2o
counter for a drink.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMumyV9jaAt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8dv9IYOyb
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oYSmGhqbg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5hKj1POJZ
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh93XMhaClg
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqburRt7VWI
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachD0AvuL0
has.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqI9fyFCLH
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMYfRF0O9R
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEwFd1iaoP

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9vSGXpkxI

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NW9EqBDn

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFAkRlonil
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6mlxTJnyK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7WZlbclNW
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9SqXKojhB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYKFnVBCAR
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAg6JEAjCp
just as jealous as I am,” she said.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf55KOq8jOl

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFbHMZp4O
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeIpizPlxc

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGfdj1s2Va

Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrLauydUDa

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzop87Ba7Dw
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvmNFqtPqF
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg2LPwINpt

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpjOXse46g
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde95g3ijhc
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tb9iTdmpS
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPtjwJOPWW
isn’t going to do you any good.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdh6p3eu95
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNizxGSoiX
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeND4KcNqD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg9ypVCJT9
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fZxxvlSwM
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRwR5XURQh

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxOFqF7Hj8
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNEAdnRy6Y
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQiFX6rfac
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl436YWZkW

us some drinks.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLTcUurcz

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK98nG45IQi
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3JiO2D61j
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDHy2LcBRh
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53pEmIRikf

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5eY2esQiu
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1fdhOy7Mi
she didn’t even give them a second thought.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT136z7SQDy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6SgDcCTvY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡongQlmzSUv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwTenls2op
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7O5vcUhVA
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxhbfUrVt9
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dGvJCSzXk
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdyml7QNws
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqcRInhUi2

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55CtmdbOdB
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSFL9ESw8K
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGKKRrxCf5
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QpENbL6My
she wasn’t too careful.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCOUOP1TrK

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJsJ1S4FL2

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF3mbtus6x
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc2MQwnzKT
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlZuTp0pCD
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE6vTqjzVO
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5wlaXJsNN

She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTusvgiba6
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYKvlhs5s3

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR03Zd2x8sc
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79xtKbksMa
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiVGSsaRYp
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc9Gaqe6uE

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdQtnKbahL
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj05aKuLan

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrUTWYXFDf

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB09ikRijP5
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsyrkBWhcA
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNFdm4sUx0

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk94FSBkSk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxS5ZO6CH2

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoYDnloN6r
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxM98hTNQQ

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbH0FNGX8p
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UAkLHUDZV

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuroEXBsjza
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSU4OcSVb
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnP2Sp50c6
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGLgE5Htzq

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B39khg9FU
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa7QTBI8Q4
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedBrtDH8y5
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XCdUuGfIa
sincere.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LbLfjOElx

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIthzwiVNy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbopbMe1nt
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoC2J2MQhw
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppFCWuJOCr
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKrCk2DvO
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniBL7LGkr7
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VyRvkZbx8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu5To5jo4V
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaMtUZWQea
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hCyX1KUND
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbG9BTemya
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ubKBEKHQ9

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoOr2fejZ3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKUfqXdF19
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQFCZIHhUs
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBU1QKs6YC
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP2XkiraO4
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHgDZ6ycGW
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nsVNZAslD
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3DGfehupy
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDWt6Y5Co5
for it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hrJspQqOi

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sIeY17AzZ
really needed to take a breather.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DZZruWYe

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrffKLD6JM
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZBpnBYJ8V
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82YhEHK6NF
though she had woken up from a bad dream.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡResPEYRmZ5

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZFcBuXOs0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv2y8jDnxX
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlza81ftoCi
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVi3OK2Y7i
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CVxue4qMZ

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZXDu3Qei
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6uhhREK8I
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYWOqUE6uX
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27mKKjlp8w
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboEE5uzOqK
herself.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmjBA5KJd8

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK7Rvayhl4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9JCvGLeGi
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6VPzRWkeU
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGaElOcJm
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGQjz2njoX
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm3t4F6ssw
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVF9dqqVNj
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdjQrSlZoh
notice her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3OoUJeE4c

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4lBQ0MnZD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7fDY2AfEq
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerNTEjvuTL
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBztgAd6fp0
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cjhBtJS1z
own business.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZuy0m5jxz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnh4wWp6bX
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjupHCWVqVS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdRJbpj3EP
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpOb1Lkg5
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTDFu016mE
surprise.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYIEGxAHyS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zlHCbuYA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4JhHBIlV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinbGouBocE
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUxSXJmaR5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16TsUzMkk6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0BtQUQC9X
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NRKZ7rtVm
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZMvNC9q6B
“At the candy store.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3k0PviimC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELpL2zdKtO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GYpGrEgMd
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfdFly4271
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yUxeXaHsX
bumped into that moving shelf.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB24YfDVcU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EdsYkZLA1
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1asFDftGqX
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9W2s7h953
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4vYwA98jb
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArZc8SwB0P
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqjn03BsnN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCiOOU6Dws
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURJCIiAit4
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8rJHruWZG
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPYxNh3W4G
forever.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPiVdu6jg8

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbpwvLxIm
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GDkR1L7Wp
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ29snxA6X
their conversation ended here.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MEHO2PIZY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilBHpa34eB

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7C3QHqqg6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIXHKpHq3I
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeB3daEKUC
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNttlKwvaN
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhiC4VJGT2

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELlT8gXVF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo9kcPPNtu
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWt3biU4x
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ4BQow4xu
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwGaRm59zj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ni02WQeuA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMkZjyNRfE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nparLjQU3
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquZQ932x01
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Da2nQ5Zfe
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPr9vvrybS
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77yDEoVjPw
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmdptImVyY
leave, but after she finished her martini.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp7sXjqyaw

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArePyQpuJL
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2NDjieFzC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgHZfb4GIE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcvkMz7BMs

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7XsEbG9wi

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dwuAhK0zu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0UxO0r5x
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKDLf8H7bn
Kim’s shoulder.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdifMQWEao
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI11flmzOJn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqGvG1IKXy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGgrsVDMO
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6PuVVUyaq
idea. We should get out while we can.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaz9xfnZPs
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71gwvCIL9D
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6WKgFqbq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPOEPCBXqB
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1TuquUEqC
the conversation. Let’s go.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrlfxh7cNK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rk2RStsvH
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzvGW7fDwd
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAn2HVnPze
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufEnaLa9kC
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm7NHHu0ws
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHRzLxJLfE
were able to see Leo’s table.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3fZXIMTZR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNKO71hevj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9aWlaWIss
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRAWy7QrTu
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwmMEqrlz
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOklgYKTHr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeNfefQEte
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv766rmOa4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNwQ62WqYt
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvIJKzsD4L
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgy5AxRpTk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0yopvrf8w
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTWnTks3tg
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzyCnPwwYI
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEHyVEoZlG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFZkyYB6mM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j4xvaaTSz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWFDX3AH6U
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1K8JTWMhz
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPblJZMy3X
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfpIaBxZWq
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUItYKZask
counter in anticipation.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ2hLgVjxC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiteWEPOPu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUITq4ZRvk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFft9eUo0vm
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTKS5GmFvX
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHlcyOIi1l
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iZKnAQRow
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeea0JxUm9o
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ob1DuOxpS
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLbdw32yL4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0AlwHMXmv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQINDrkNv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tVLYHNPsj
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9zWGhp0vt
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkoE7QaCTk
head.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCoe4UT0c
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyzR5HeWJH
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLxqhZRNvc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRexkAN2fU
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0SwjAOSOT
not at that intimate level.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsMPDLPSjs
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmPjosA2I3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxQyK0CCcs
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9VjA9GLSz
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFV1o94Ufs
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbsgxKjfUv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBk9do84kk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoefl1IuMB0
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMzM8VQ0r0
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqYbgRYvzz
he was being friendly to me.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmrN9cyVz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEHVeKzcMl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF921qX1UrO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FAXglxwxZ
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5cw6TsTUQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFoTiOmXBR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWlumgyCiN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4GP6VH8Ac
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvqwdZkNTU
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCITK6SnAGD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF6eUeZ4bx
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdnBoJPSjU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpUg6CWL9e
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSUUYzj4KE
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA9wFwR70T
counter.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wU7AVopmi
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGstk6OXHLz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yV5zJxhfN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jAuNuxFFA
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XqgCJVFso
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0hq6EuybP
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4l9fL4pZt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl1TRgAvzj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5PYxdhuEu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01pZsh2RM8
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8pYCpepR3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6BbaBbgwz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmPWlJsBxC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEV3VzhRJD
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVMnW7ZQzU
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2KlzN6bW2
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAntVr7OKd
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqgn1mogoz
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCIj0Bpnid
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrirzSusxL
that was different from Carly’s.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRHksUIhEW
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGugzna7n
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjnoji9SuU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoejq2tbcEA
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hESmzokK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9lQlxCLWe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1z3cwAnod
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnKJtkWppf
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPSKZzy4BH
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiATM6JzxbH
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5nxQzVoNy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWjuvm93QF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKD746TmFU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk2IWePZjQ
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC5Zmj39in
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPWDB0OMDm
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DosMj8EIM
doing here?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbPGZolH2M
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED2dwN61Ri
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7WLVfw6h9
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnCmGEdOpO
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ltrqBitTE
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9IsScp6m7
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AYiJJXsJ3
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHDa3ej9pe
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkjKb4BO4E
surprised look.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCpC43J3HK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OkLlRu4np
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FCC44nRW7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBayn7fdzyb
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFIXP9uwPh
get her attention, but she thought better of it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx21Mkr4Bu
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4iDawChQz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYVMS5TvZ4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEyVyUTPYm
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqOoFtkK8R
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjazXfv8uve
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U7tsFfIcb
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQLcA9vnRN
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloAvGrKAak
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u0sCHMNFT
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DoxGRGHD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DF1j5Kg2X
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGWdokdW4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFkVFfskD2
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWhZb5FYfH
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvtvuyWNIo
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPfqHLM2Li
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyFIvcd3Da
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpCgquXKu
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZQaPp6sM
the table.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FxiGzJ2S
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjFgYoPk2v
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfIxpGmNOl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaPhU3rhmr
“What was that about?” Eric asked.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKw8Lsg6k8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VlHSFUl2q
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ4iW0Wofq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCiNS1zKWM
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaBlFCEmMj
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7EiyU5XZr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWd4tKEj0N
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nWQAhYDYV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Azb9wKlW
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWFcTwshD
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18xbrvXAR
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYOckTwP9O
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p6fZAnvBe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqJHrWwYTQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwacpbtg4R
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rm7R9IQCt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdCX2nZuwD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGAisOw4BS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t2hDu8qWP
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelgdyh0zRm
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0mlEts47E
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLHmbXS19
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcpN5xj6za
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbXOXlk9V
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4NmbLIQXZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA5ozhXnM5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc7zQyC2GY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3pcZXnGjb
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZG9kwRrif
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneVbqEY8fl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHaabanNG2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ffLCjHe9y
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk3ePOcLUv
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvAMctxcs
said Marco.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvfbgahl7q
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ap7ntjiy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeY1Xd1LHV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9YxLMqQS1
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZyE1YaMYS
more handsome than you.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgvTKZl4j9
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgGtBVLECS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGD5rhCzMR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ComGJChz
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4UvyYnra
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Cr5jGH09
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzXsHByGNF
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFKZ0bHakr
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTYVoZNTXL
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkowAADWQoQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFNbt33RUI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX6EMnLQvR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUti1fIkqS
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmEVZEiChi
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlJpNkI4f0
thinking about.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGDdJLwDl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFlixzObV2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yz7jjlHwQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8amjSasvmw
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOXsMI4gT
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwV83OuSGa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76nV9UbalG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSox8lqzuq

Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy6M3mFOv8
brother’s face.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2sRlah4SC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4B9W558Wp
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv8P8rOGMG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeZAPTciNr
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrv4r7BZTb
at Oliver.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku207iQI71
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsweFJ0Odfv

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUJha38hPz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn9ibtHYan
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDw2qTRLPM
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsE0mbSYnW
heading out too.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ010VdCXh0R
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nypRu30mE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rzo7oO9kt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN9MhngZFb
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2irrHvs2s7
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWrVQAbXpi
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo6vmuRoVs
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyhxhRHJ5q
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7VZbFdgMU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSe0xBACSz
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINopWx43u
way home.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwLGWkkwJ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F3lXjGONt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAckWm9U9Zq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3poeH0UPJ
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxzYDGePbj
here.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPpgrNJnE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHIJHnqelW
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RtO8EfdPj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArTK0E71LF
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JbB0rABcr
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfFjId1r7n
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z6dMTaDpe
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLvVMi6wWu
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMrj6nz9eF

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlDv9zVlxS

“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwRLUWWSD
little longer.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7WO0BCb0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZAE7aO2mg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YYmitb6Os
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ75JzIS22
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JLDBMlih3
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtusb11T6q

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHNnJpp9qL

“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGvFhliKE3
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC8zrv9jT6
get your number, Angel.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymT3zcVno
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvWwPLR6yG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyYaxSWW9P
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlNnXliCRw
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfpuzVEy11
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt4R234kXq
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwrvTbqJ9Z
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qgz1J3ZnW
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudGDLMjA5w

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBHYPJNR1L
should do this sometime soon.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5S811rdPR

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiSP19bgtG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qaJxJKpeZ
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHi2ZhL7X
difficult.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78oVGWaS7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sJK1BAPME
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA8PMDZFUX
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEP8YdfjcE
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3GFEMmcfM
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbLLWPzrKj
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUd8JKC7gD
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpgcEo0QMP

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9NA6btI9R
much at all for a while.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3pCiJK3fk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMTBDeE9ye
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGbqUHAmoO

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEa0ycXM1t
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qO2Gw8TCK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCcMIUGlXU
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20m9oVsYz7
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKodBZ0KoY
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLNnWOyFzz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk5bt7c8Wc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6sAz3AUWB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJWsAocc4S
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyJg7430p0
home.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqil8L3zdn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9KPvJ4TWP
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDA8R7Z7v6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YUdcFCicV
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE0vbJIypB
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQcpQ48uS
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYHXdQhmNN
Miranda might still be around.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynqfzhhGSe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdBZhmQCtO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OkPHEGd5Z
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Dc0T9M7U
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzZGNJPVPa
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuuhC5MDQ0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JLKXcxLI7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDHxmnvzma
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7p3nNFBN1
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q95jBcbFy
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrchD3IR7NQ
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fefgs6tLd
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOgWCAq6HQ

“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7R27q7GnL
the bar area.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr22pX2zJAO

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1OhKtsosg
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG8qH1B7JG
they started to stand up.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPbGL0tw3x
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeM8w0YLDU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIc7akatvH

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFT4XtyNS8

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ99p79Qpr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAqywOcmLP
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUb60bQzrh
see.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOewh9fyVQi

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGklPoJJNk5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh5yoMWvNu
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HCkSTs8F9
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPmTNJThdL
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNxd1vgdFV
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9J8Rpu4PH
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw73uo8IUnN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXyk6xJbiS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SG7hi2sRG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gF9DGjnsx
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZu8iOYglZ
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsme3pknW05
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QyHo20kZ
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkD0HSLkZa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR0f2PuCKp
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8mfIwW92s
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8Lu3pz2P
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU21Qu8L5bC
seen us.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Kx4x3J1f
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBx1OpLV5h
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbimufzvtc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32QkbFuKLW
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lOSmpvZOM
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvykk1cTEqT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsKsaw1q6i
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcI7YcOkM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6IlGe2ljp
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNQPTLnQSR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFrXUhzMqI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0OEqRiCwy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmYjBrykxj
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNG4Z8iexi
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYl6hgpJpI
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzr12zGxJu
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e5Roounyu
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR99J22E9xP
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUK3YsQp3c
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclSOqbjRRY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ua4b4KmNl
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29C0xBxNV
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURfoHRcBZB
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLKQhXxpLB
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnsivkPfKC
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoNtwM6oZK
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd34chXP3oO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEehkYmmNOA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBA2hVST9Q
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMemZDVjd1
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUbdbLULu8
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFtWcnQZHT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8SP3jv2Zh
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t3RwQUAkJ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Iip03T8U
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZO9dnhnm
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9zz65zKE7
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvRDXf1UUP
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQMRTPefn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfb7GHZWil
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQDqAR0qDe
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohklFKrg33
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEJAVZ0XVc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Blvujw7o4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PtxtGHM8v
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzPC94TvvL
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mtMPQiGnJ
this wasn’t over.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzODWEKCBS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XS0dAGbfT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG2kAqPgL6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJSiYkpnHp
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3dgbMUQYI
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTDQvTRdjy
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVxU6mIMck
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ4FoJ1lWl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiyeNZVJ6i
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYr5ktzd89
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxNVldVjDO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzKBed3TYq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrrXh3iDOh
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi78ZiCT2U
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgXGZDrKp
favors," said Angel.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ldybuaZw
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanth9rATeR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA8gPscnRS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbsULQCi5m
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc8O8IJ16B
they been there?"328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUgH9YFfnw
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2B1XqLayN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKrMganTIL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyMgUeY0D3
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQAalx67AG
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv3tHGviFB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLPqZaeGHC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFzZI0d6DM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxLNELnBbt
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBu8kp5FwJ
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWSAVrLwPS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWWX6iBzi8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbXQ2StstZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ROZyZHGu4
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnhZCX4nya
so you've got to be careful from now on."328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn5MZkWptk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO9YS3Sdvm
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClMEKE9cgy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ5jESz87x
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxiigtuVmw
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna8jOfPsv2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmy68Q4sRL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNH8fj0ygk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7nZJkjgmM
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQLafMs8Cz
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9XkeyG9Va
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7lP2kydH4
night only.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5xOOrbrgA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ8zUwsJQk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpIxX9Fogd
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO7zd4DBSb
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyqemRS5xj
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgVlxdWikQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ofe9NzE4Q
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFfaf1ia6s
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCksqbmc2Y
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxDRk0RG9A
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxbR8NZy8z
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYon1GTE4ya
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxCEM8wDGS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58pQvx1lgK
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtktPB5dVF0
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZR0VWGpKf
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFLzXuNrfV
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxOuDfh1QH
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuARv6h2B7n
want one?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVERXJmjlgd
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A7nvzHUe8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpLHlryAJ7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHR9u5AHgw
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9aEtzEq7K
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMvjEfIcQR
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74SwRUkgLp
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebbFbyN8Iz
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04xyohR2r
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eooEhkB3K
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Aok9vtb6
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXzvrTNnRK

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIUUi1mwZN
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpczCmQmUk
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90dgEIMXsd
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN37DsKp1q
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1dkEhyq7a
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZgOrfuBpv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjYaV9Njym
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15T0fvlfn8
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZZLaH3ag
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGgNeukNFF
relief, it was Walters.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBMNLacAbS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURVtUIUb9P
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GNn7Y6eZP
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLETrbP7Z
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmjLQOJLoB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnmalVC5t2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThlaQaO33N
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fv0qQsncY
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPZ5Qjcd0N
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ds5qiaHwv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL8qq7b4pO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrJeZ27gRd
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1metoFxjGO
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ6UF7WAqQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8KsLfsNZ6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7NtVwHEgm
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygy4jGLFrH
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Apt1sikeV
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeXZb3nRBc
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ig5uZpr52
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN0a56ORQp
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1xYBdy3AO
Lion?328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTpMnAv23t
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt5efkfCd7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M7oXhPW2J
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6YgEyTfQ6
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP304tNjDmD
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXOYkrmTUW
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnziu0ipM
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbtwHZLgqd

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJpTTdby86
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yOCxVUO1u
