“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvtfAJnFea
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiolS7IhSo

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRxvKwm9A0
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHbgCdJKSm
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nUW7ETqW4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWcS4yOPD1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJtLZcVXNQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNj6gnmdSw
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo5TLg4eZc
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvyb5SElV2
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13q7bBxV8d
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9AnwCgss0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgdeMUf6u5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhoUw9afGH
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVrYs3oKAc
want to say it.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAIVijajBs

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9V4e7YKVv

“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo0S9kyg5w
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifFBbXOyiw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1zuAKrHA8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMZusxVnuq
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zWHkifotB

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtow0RYP2Zy

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSDY7dNcmE
because that’s just how she is.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7oxlJGLP3

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP6eSCJT2f
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5m2MetUWw
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoHp91qWxs
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2toLIWZpT8
your fun.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoE1xBNyDl

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMD0NIWpkp
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMo9UQASx
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6UDyaqgHT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqwNISWvU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGfumYvh5g
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU1PW2FxUl
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwncn3uTyT
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjwzPMjua
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs6VrYz9kl
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbkiHKrOIM

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6vbr2PXdN
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mNfOGyQC
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhcC2Whcpt
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqDVDqLUxy
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfDNiwxKwu
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SYZxhvXo6
that they should join Angel and the others.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvQqfhlAYh

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6Zh7q6Zo
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGIuAZK75
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfZThpbhtn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsaOBgfzUt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIrGNW4Jw
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupasUxMpx

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcYF1JZvLx

they aren’t at their table.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWASuVGLlEu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav5rdNPoQb
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTNrsXpqSq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH0FsICEUt
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeGbrf3kuK
the counter.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42dM8E0Ba6

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO89C4zAWMN
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeAeEg178V
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9mvooFMUY
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5gvA7EtFf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKRL8tVFDa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAwlKowxNs
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg2AszHNVt
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAEjhozMuM
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTUcgMcC5N
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee5buxPII0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aFhGqDiEL
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPtxffSdB
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsltcsgljhJ
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s2dpEQhck
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfKp25kUyf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCo6aSsOBP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBUj5xZwlD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc6XOBVJzy
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLfzp6yFJJ
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCqPnW2M5K
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pI3FNV4TQ
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO5cVN3UxA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMffiOikiRv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bdp2FB6ye
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4SZRJZcdr
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga3eDdvozO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76UEsUKm3l
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHUYPEzbDC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fR2QNNrZ7
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVfzRNmmN
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszTtYeohws
would speak first.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymBep1zbU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSC3Fw60sW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVoQeAArgt

“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0KYkHaa23
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVH7lx1S59

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Os9Xnx8F

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTs4p8VlU7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0juHcyed89
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYAUzjcKjF
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpVzpYNEIV
it was hopeless to do so.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5x9UMRYA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeWyq81ZQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WmMKDJq60
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskP1hoSlmG
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJW0sENhVp
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CZmETrCpV
Walters calls.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcVNh4zpMF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qIuCJub8F
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9HzJpkLY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WSiHd0xRW
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVMoSX0saQ
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw1BvlW478
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV72LXE0PX
minute.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooTCuG3Zia
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt2E2Ffxwu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkTVCtHbNW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ432EVd0gEb
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIuoZHcAu2
door.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40mRCL1NV2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uZfQymEnp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1f44fbGIE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9EeKTMD4x
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVIcw8ZR05
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolpica9NyZ
any moment.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarV4PEcFh8

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi99hqPjTYQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4cn5oZTYt
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsc2GPV3cE
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ6ETD7cy4
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ1cMyxHdY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKMaGoVA00
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvzXG8Jlj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktSiQshZju
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJoKUqmdpi
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAS2hmiRhT
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8x9XXVxzM
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eGccQGZp7
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfn2yanzXw

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PqokrWUnL
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf6ZzOVDPX
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiwSG8jGpG
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1LSPu728T

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ0TNEPST7
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifP3xY4fZv

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT16Uvrd31R
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1G0Ln47WN
Eric and shook her head.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5m5Su5smm

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDcTRSctSW
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6n3xyM5nJ

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGTw0o4W90
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSEF2mVuX
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0cZNEC8P
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmESMULHxV
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY5kwNjXcb
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlBu8gNooc
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFAsTFQ24a
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6kuqIs542

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBqobmvu6j

they all burst into laughter.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrzDOijXlj

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Qt130V1O

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF38LpUXk9e
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQzuNwU6vn
out his hand to get a nacho.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwwDvPhQEE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkIcp7cp2M
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi09AJQNJbt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUKUCdvh8R

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBU4awxNQ1
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3gipyRCh

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4kXtpJlPc
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lNnbycpaE
the statement.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxsn7V5Ya8

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCOQ8pRvMa
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBpydYoKgF
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULL0pJ9b0D
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJrReSgNO
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKiAj0K2GI

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAe3lT70PR

She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQKrXP4dE5
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEiPmTYLqy
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uAwzF2Fk8
elsewhere. What should she do?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1D6GAbaw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyRqjKbm6J
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgg7rf4sTq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlTwDEDQsu
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnNP5bQ4QR
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XZTHJZhag

“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg21HGNO4K

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC1utUKDqt
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Sl8ARRP3
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqcx15GGkH

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33srx96nV

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ZYOnT9mC
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgaydDGMLR
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVNvB0WH8Y

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwa5iYBbha
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfLTF3JFkN
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc71eonkiDM
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEO1OS36ZJ
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolAgGdwT3L

“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuucp7OvUIe

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYzEtElUA3
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixGQVPh5F
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x1pZuLSXH
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BCtIn8t2y
counter for a drink.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d49zU4th1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCom6RRVDK4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvz7xVzD4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjFy98MiGr
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz6E9XLxWH
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SRDnuKwRR
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ706UjcJcUz

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOBokN8Xjg

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8QJ8nHK8w

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQC4H4NZxX

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJxuwvsuN
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgB2crQAuS
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z7SKnGHfH

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v7ucPvlPq

Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vJFoFHztn
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTBFWiFtuA
isn’t going to do you any good.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKWMBfB9K

Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9mqolojO
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRqEjZzETQ

Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqAbVkdGx3
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZq1Mi6R8i

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSQX7fjuOF
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tBhl4wrIy
she didn’t even give them a second thought.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5qGn4Vn6V
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEUuPmmKFs
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZvzAPvck6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI6z006llZ
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCPnEDqFgJ
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQd2fhSjL
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpGw28U0j
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Rqm0ek8a
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXbh02cgGR

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc85Iu1Vaf7
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxreOJIo1R
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKh5IrQvp5
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0TnLDEs0
she wasn’t too careful.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEz14C2clG

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB1d6lxl7F

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWuTvYcbJR
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRUZfxNP8F
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0yAhOKMIZ
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN43y0I4T1c
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5txfYSE09

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhZGUMhuoS
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvyocNVSWI
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8mFEitNdV
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZd0VJtncn

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrtAMpu2XN

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdEk1W7WN
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZQsIs8bpE

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Li1JmiUc
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3l5Lsg8mX
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgy9IdOCdR

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVrBCiuw6Q
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHcfnUOPoA

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdfy8SjCdJ
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftMLSD2EZA

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc7Le4eQBi
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy9uCkZHOx

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdt1nA7Nxj
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR48LJTxNu

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtXFLU8gG
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xcSoJQHV5
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wtsza3Iot
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB5hvLfwHL
sincere.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR5yhheE0s

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwxsUBBuf
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsjIlcV1zw
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93sWHGVnz2
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiBjnvkNFM
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5igLqYdW0

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq6aA0kWZr

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINdv0p0rEq
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqXzXCFtip

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZZYdjDgEz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lUiatFayE
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG2geFGNyv
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeBkmjHYb
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLbjozBCq
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISOxreYUgq
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2neKMhP3Uw
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFltF6BBneT
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOS3S0dWTa

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1LXaqVOe

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69mZxDdDF6
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW2VPZh9ES
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW52tSt9ff
though she had woken up from a bad dream.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY1KejgEhK

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKThldCJ6wj
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNXp2wnD2
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB7fsmuemP
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcgMUgGOD7

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ZCpTwi80
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6km3cRivG
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiQ9iIeauG
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICGYxtktlH
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pDny3ah87
herself.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gO9sjKIta

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2WUPNIoNf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpOaiKogKI
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxBtcbgKfi
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPmacwASQ7
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPq65bnMDO
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv7mUjpumd
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9wxrSQdzb
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFjCvTITvN
notice her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjubHtZ5sf

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7AEH3vM6e
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagUQZL8pmB
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZeTD08dC7

Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOsog28eXv
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkT8as7iXS
surprise.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUbt1Uijyu

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCiPWt13G

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ALO9Tykr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65v0u5v5GQ
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Szr2UtY3J
“At the candy store.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhL61ZrPFh

bumped into that moving shelf.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbs0wxM5ZM

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNajiap9aT1

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRjpMXlH15
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEqdnXuwKZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKrPdVpVNp
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU5RLR3Gwr
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MKokczxRI
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmSphgj4Gf

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6goOFQxmGl
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3ED01483
their conversation ended here.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNmGOT8P0C

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXlcy7ToXV
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uUmeR3zkr
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWCZqKKomx
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp8pVtwkdK
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJoAMbBOQt

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3iOhv3lCa
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQndds5udzw
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ1QKdUnmz
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeQ1B51sK6
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbjZ3XUDlE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobBHpMzthn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwPmX9Bw8W

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VMjOydmXV
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNvWs1uuCc
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeZktnXwCe
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV2n5mDggS
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO7xmnLwE8
leave, but after she finished her martini.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUjMRapgXE

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjEQB6i7s
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGD4x5Gfs

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyY0QWLSe5

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1D0qE6Xzj
Kim’s shoulder.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxyqDr5Rxy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH9jcMGXjo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIA03PxEnQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dhhGJ7O0C
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr4HLZ2nll
idea. We should get out while we can.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzitGQU28c
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBeUB1S6z2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMp7HVcwC0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbOn44JSXO
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2sAPU5DN3
the conversation. Let’s go.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXpFXmpY8H

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOknlI7HVI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbS72bILRb
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0SryHDfKu
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A6tCj1qVA
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqFvBfcAKq
were able to see Leo’s table.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSHixYDiA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0S1TAlTsU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxEgmUX7Bd
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwEn97sMNl
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDOBsrm9ef
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18m7wOJoWl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUF3ioy5ST
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s52zBcMii
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FWUC24tsc
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oSCxmdLHd

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDbju1g7e
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdZWcFf94m
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCrrcaVqod
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIlAXOQTzO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GDZBhzDPd
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRGna5TR6W
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gmtXKGI8h
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHQeyxkPU
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L9INXNLSn
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG3NiMqUTQ
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69xOafvxPG
counter in anticipation.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9qonx0lJL
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgRFmru25Q
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYjHoD8Cc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEKhJj41Tb
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTogXOqFfml
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupg7n1Lxfu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs7sitcGDx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UKBtll7Dn
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXIATTXRh2
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLWgei8neu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWcF4fS4dS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EHnPQN4SR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAOogjgTTb
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpOmpzsfKt
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4n7Rk4cZ
head.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t0FqtAIJg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY6ITTBJK0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HySYW9oo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu2eqwczi6
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv2uFor9CA
not at that intimate level.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEeBCico4T
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WFEolN1VO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI8ScnPQhs
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ThNxrHTVh
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR5i4j0u0p

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMwIVdtftR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNym2xx8Ru7
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVa7J6mDsa
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCtVP00NiZ
he was being friendly to me.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniRRAoxb85
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXrmVLv3Ke
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8i2Zh4HLN
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lf9zhQMHt
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnLGBJlo0m
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOZaB1uBCz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPQd9b9rv3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWitJNLn4K
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhRrQHCRzR
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeNMfNjrC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2gBdBhS3U
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L77BosXJD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICX5Ml2Kt9
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO6aUeRvdU
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgvAn1t573
counter.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRikO7qri1

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYRETQ1kOh
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yAgN1BZjg
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNuyTKGU2L
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdiI3XafRs
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdWch2XXoZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2tJ1D4wN
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHARIIg042
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxjJ8TGP2r
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1BSwavJyv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDVtsGQm46
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX4XzFhWlV
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G1vGJls8n
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD3babCppM
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPAhyYHZjm
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGsPwN7MJH
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkk3YHGcce
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkj5ZwLZZ2
that was different from Carly’s.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRSv4A08ue
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h9ZeBmY65
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGknWuGIgQn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvmZLpz7yT
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfziK8h8JGc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lqEce8upj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboeGC00VqY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO0sMZ3mAg
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvOyh4ePan
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCaLmv8EgO
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZk64VQZYZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBaYc0gj9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYI5gGPJLl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWgDQqKIP
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY99bf8j1k
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux0NrnNl2s
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasO8ttROTN
doing here?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LjVZozosQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi25vsWfva
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88w9ksrLe9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH61b16Mvm
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZqTtgrYI3
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNNFn1PImF
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoQxWuruiC
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELLi3GImJq
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw3jJK2egT
surprised look.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXHVUB0Vnc
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNamsjlxmE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn65PTfFEGq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg9K7wilV
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU1QhfSvwF
get her attention, but she thought better of it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK9GOIP2wC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxDLrqe09N
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aE95I4ot5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZEclXz0fK
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVcaEjkOq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmcbx4G9U2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFqEdT57aW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJFDqUz1rU
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YOuJnnRd0
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YRP1QkyY
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4miJHY9lbO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9jCYZFApT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsstfxX0uV
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiR9zPtcAs
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zaZ1MFO4e
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0MMl9S9BZ
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnVAJEk5B
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVV6iPKfu8
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetCmx5ugwi
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0UPYn9qrE
the table.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo86VAFxUl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1yoBdHQov
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFabyLjRbfj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSeksC66ky
“What was that about?” Eric asked.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJbY00wxR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJOuo5fbGl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oGsYQXKNm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cydoS3u1G
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzg4mYGoPC
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz3ZX2ZVAT
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9EbJTQUpy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRQCS5MzaS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9qFTpRWss
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjjNKM7j9a
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxobywcA1cG
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqlzY1jz8W
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4nfMRwxWp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx80N7pRCKe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwsXCDj3xn

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQXh3nGZJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACzmRb9MgZ
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMirGYmQQL
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHNW1kjcJz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuiUKLpJHG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W2ipecf7D
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSvvQ4zhXY
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGVdMsnhZB
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrITgwmp9j
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MsrHZHOW0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj2mWRrjeI
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrYD5xxYG
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPnhFIZeO1

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3uHpvLYCB
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM7R6TUmlD
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSkz9uPbn3
said Marco.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUz8bstaxa

“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6WFFlZtLe
more handsome than you.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Xkqys5uq

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZRQC4cU05
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz35DkxtwP
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPfsnRCnkF
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRj4iUC6fE
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbaIFOpm0p
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Rmx7Y4F4
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdSCPTQQ3v
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1An7YGXyj
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw2Ri6iZrv
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DsLBs7zrh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlFgP2Uvsg
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw8VA9vzXW
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK2ksK7D87
thinking about.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgd689AJ7

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci67uyF7dF
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVFkwdT0Gj

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMr6Izsbvh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafNeMigEPh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FX728sPQF
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTflJpvwS
at Oliver.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx01JBIxNmH

“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmTbLNZ6sO
heading out too.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjid93CE3M
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkVd8nvp5E
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HDeQXomCR
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KYSMo492p
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBBhoMgQuY
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXiZbGLPwB
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnzmn2T9hz

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUf37DqhU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0f54bk5WF

here.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP5Wt22sxW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq4dVy6KCz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunqY6MaQBX
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XVcMzRlnd
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YqlyrzzN
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbHhhIprlp
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCzxhYkjUP
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNRx5cMV2N
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FPJMIzKYg

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2znWmz3JEH

“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUeZXZjxL1
little longer.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtSMItq0I7
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DOArEAq2d
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzoJVwDJmp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ33LFs7Mk8
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZdGaPcFq
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRul3kDSUU

“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3W9uD1ADx
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhurzVNUu5
get your number, Angel.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshRectZGe
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlPpsbDPC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEC9NFyEhS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kg710sxrb
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcxQHFB0Ae
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwXNCD0My
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwrUc14SaY
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3QJNdAgv
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeX4WMMRhO

difficult.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxQLzv4wHc

Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezqJLDxzVG
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAl4w3w5JH
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBKxfHQjTL
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu97l4SahO

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovkyTkZKTz
much at all for a while.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnS2U1vyt7

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Lm7JUyVo
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbDaKg7yYQ
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfnUn77rKI
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KnjWZuJiw
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X0jSDCqcv

“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhe92DtVMc
home.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFeO1Xxc9z

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1voEAmM3tb
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5fsc7tT5
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbm5zj33E2
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEJOGGmpWG
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mglsL5PzE
Miranda might still be around.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovibeZKfGD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4rivozPJC
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rIa19LTK
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJS0drOXm
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjwohf1ilm
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwPUMKC32P

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6CfPq6CPd
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnjLgT08Zq
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6qusfOyis
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhLgfVOvkK
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDPZqgdtk
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzpX5nZnWU

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52FdBflWeF
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoaTDgoi0L
they started to stand up.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq59akENLVw

Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsJorZ8qnA
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRfyaOSRKY
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu2wta1M75
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCaRf7WEFl
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJYCsWg3Kx
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiE2DJVZse
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQe77RspXI
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPgBPLSoXb
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnusEvRV3eS
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoh8GGuAsN
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OQDTn0VDM
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL0yl1bR8O
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznXYU9Mw06
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RLciIwSR0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAupjFO3Vf
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUKZCmCymy
seen us.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQTGZ7yJX
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec1t5UGQJn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81kdcnYvxz
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiomSD1yVzj
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhw6KTPopi
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJV1R6uE5N
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sLlzSwERW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWdyIkSZgM
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyob6ZoDc0
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x9Rr1Difu
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6xms8xADq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPgq48RzN0
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGSkAbzASc
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FnvM6XX4z
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5E2HDNR1
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWInJEhqF
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaK4lt2fGf
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLEDCAusd9
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9E581LV6N
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomBVHkhRt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ae47Q4LT
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCy1nPhcs
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3dyeFOUx7
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjYBfWcBsV
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sthoYnuKq
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXLWJbfsJ
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3300eMrE1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrScANavSO5
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7ytldwli
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3vU3sgqwR
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hOq7VbIJW
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP0cvTweQl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihjHAaKx8W
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z22WuwLYA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R2nJH4Hej
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuebMyRyM8S
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLmzCXxblW
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8TmANuswQ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL8IhO2TNZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOyWFIM535
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlSjsriA6d
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IJcz4LfAp
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMFaStR99q
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9K8431COE
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOQglijCZZ
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdRz0wz0vg
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFczEWl05jh
this wasn’t over.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dAgvjede4
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIoJCFKdtw
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tqsjEAMYf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eXxkgYFc3
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzLQfvxOM
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo7Fkj2XyD
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfIrei3Leq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK8vFNqj3a
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLGdqJQCXg
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yapxKo7Tg
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMOqrze8j6

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqLiOAx2Cf
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIOxXSGej7
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEi7FloZet
favors," said Angel.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0ChzWEYD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0JxelrIHy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlneWlDqvy
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7BEWtZv3J
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9uU7PhAxL
they been there?"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWLVgTuh73
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH8NFM3sMU
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUI5pWHVUr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ9rZUaGgj
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiwvTKqJOp
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaOKutdw8X
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXM8yzjugq
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZbcYqG33g
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss7x17bQup
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyubvT4Yg1S
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKUsXhJW1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGPSkGIvka
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdxorT4VPP
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dQeog5YZf
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLcL5xdGlP
so you've got to be careful from now on."391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJctIuw9mZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSfOYwb34z
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8oKgkoUgL
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pJxEXcUcg
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLCIUCLm5Y
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfaJQBVeRY
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw54WeTBkJb
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Utt5ftgt
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91LWUUqr5M
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ZgRI5yy8
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG8Hc2egPN
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNswjnXm2jT
night only.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw2KCwBZgM

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTUAHuZKp6
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeApp9GDGoS
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDuLGyOiNF
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO6MYWGokn
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAZjOxop38
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaZx7qglKW
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTINRMU89P
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tF4l4kjV0
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5rmaceiSL

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MdPqpyheO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7R0UYhP1S
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eHSsq4ulT
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGq1QKQt1S
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpAjuUxxuS
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUVIBbOW2L
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWX1ZiRsmK
want one?”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRWGgpYuwH

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTxgPFD0dK
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqXqoSaGQq
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NHhcLypAC
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5qsHOfCu
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjTZKU0OaI
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGGPJST8gO
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZeDX73lpY
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmH5x9jUlI
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Aa6jNeqlM
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxsXeNwIv

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPx4gw48EJ
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvD1wiRXi8
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XbenL92jq
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebTnwb5b7n
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZEzfO6EUA
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e8ow1XuS3
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWxh54GkD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWglWFgwIx
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj00IVYY02
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfmy7v2eJG
relief, it was Walters.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zzgqQNWTm
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CZ8jTV5kZ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aj9NGghRJ
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwYlnUguXE
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DSFlZI5k1
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8VAo8HdDk
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgKXOWV1sG
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo16UFYPjCO
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX6bpQPHFl
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzqCFnVryO
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKEKA1hM2
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKq0rBld1r
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIIpGUaNYp
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uYZnxnhDD
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBr2Wpgdlh
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeisPykgb8C
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvUuPv4UYL
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0QmEiOHvz
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H8Sz3MFBV
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NbwpubFrd
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYBxPtGq5i
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHv8oZO2R6
Lion?391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3pWE7FayK
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbQ4GyyjS
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cKrNT6d1U
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTOwSoVkzu
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhyb4HJBV
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynEJSrPS2z
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2C7OiTECB
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCXqqnvG9O
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMyNVzjRzr
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku7CFpnxR8
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea52ssmdxy
