Angel was in the living 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqMIbTXyC8
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YAkXWj1FM
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhzJM2JKjV
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXBdnjZ7wI
"How was what?" Angel asked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4t0g8vh3D
"Getting to know Leo?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLDduIypVB
Angel could have sworn 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2a54lYwF
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5eCURjCGO
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDRKKyigdf
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODXJNqHSer
"Really?" Amanda looked a875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeob19UdpqR
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTkTmAfTcM
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tv9mccTRm
have offended you?" 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOglNHShrr
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeBXBdwFO6
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfjY3WKwi
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9x0XRqCa
"Awww, you're so 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqfEjATaaf
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3KKVF93oX
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBVu3rlwR
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRnR78OoIT
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgweCwqObS
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bn27JEMpj
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX4w51AWRM
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SI7O6mjTY
Amanda gave Angel the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkKuDjfU4G
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Of8gcFjB
to deal with writing. It suits you."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBdzhqVrW6
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eesWCiUXN
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDC2Q1hzkJ
"What is it?" Angel asked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W675nV7sR
"You seem to be one 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXkJsBxJ1
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZYvJuTeiU
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9xOOe02A7
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEjjJ64fck
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9E2du9zH4
"What?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDTRgem8vG
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDHRxckK5U
Leo who had just come in875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFizP3izyhf
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFVjMp5sbS
just at the entrance of the living room.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhYYdnKZh
"What did you just say 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fZJHH16Zj
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kGcfkEHsu
the two women on the wheelchairs.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKYlki2eBp
Amanda turned her 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xPlOwXJJB
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY63KwLH3Mw
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWaHw7iUqf
themselves."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgU9K7ZvS5
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP47TUshRFb
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9USPRs73Aa
Leo couldn't believe 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgIC6TJAdY
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0U3qcGFe9
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbeEqdFrPt
"Haven't you thought 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjE82oGti0
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVnu9W689c
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntDC7fr33E
job of her own?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcivUYiqCwS
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidbaTmrwhN
"You deserve better, my 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBypERQ6sS
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75s8njW1L
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS4BFJ59Mk
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhHUSBvIPU
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx2WUXWxUl
"What makes you so sure?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssQfnkN3rR
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7alKzqgYrQ
"Mum won't though."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjmGHKgamI
"Does she run the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJOT349ntk
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjpg21lb4
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ679DNZStR4
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fMhnGvoEn
Leo knew his grandmother875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVEDITxRn
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIspCkqD0L
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfgvBKqOUw
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfoiK5Frr0
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Dacg3VSV
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHELTvnSiH
"Don't say any of this 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzLMqpaptG
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURFcwF34zp
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EiibzKDw7
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor22D9HqaD
have to convince her a little more than I have to."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0I8TXcB2G
Angel gulped. It felt 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmccJQ0a5s9
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwFhkDQzle
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TdMrLzrQV
Leo made his way out of 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MPk1J9XZL
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN9NsUnRWc
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rLX0VN1hv
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6h7neNYvQ
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacGd97UWTg
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNFKBAfje9
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4rzMI55rW
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zQ32zrmMg
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAx6pQV4gi
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyI7RTsk9z
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglRa9b6yfI
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63te1N9kTZ
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFs6s96sjz
"I'm talking about Kim."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6EJPmvUfb
Angel didn't know if it 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZixWwoBl6L
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uovorj43m
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdw3YZw8FK
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY51w5zL0sL
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzP8fk2IwK
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjck8xhm7Dt
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB2SQG7YHg
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkuxsTKHyC
certain things?875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMvFmNYBaQ
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJ55TxN1C
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1zY8Q5FY0
Angel felt like covering875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22qVmNb4dZ
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhxUUy4eww
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ia2QQ5TIS
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0bafGfdeh
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rklp3OtLh
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECj81MznUB
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD18GeeeVA7
Angel felt her heart 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjtJTUg10r
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyiByvWxBf
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9ZKQ8J6U
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzphh6rduy
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxRtV5hu0V
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihMZX7x6fb
and invited her to the wedding.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BmpE8Zlzm
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S27HpOkQg
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDd4NfTBc6
Angel looked at Amanda 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsAAJ8VEID
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzq3sdmgVj
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nwUoBGhVE
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVFyq2JxF9
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjE1YS5Moq
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjkimjG2c6
saw Leo.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe1sZfWaFY
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4svt1219HT
"Nothing, dear," said 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzkppOw618
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZhR042JIK
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RsBntQV0Q
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjznjVoLO
"Have a nice day."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnattMJQH0
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGfKh5nBu
Leo nodded his head in 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVeDCqxiyA
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoPzYUiOKQ
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf5i4aWhug
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7xHYOpPyz
through the front door.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8I8IN2VeJ
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtQ6e8y65N
"You're unbelievable," 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm0IbTHRuV
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjlkzJZPxC
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9lOBlfBxO
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6fKOdEonc
"I'm sorry for that, 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbljh3ofZlL
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxLiFtFz23
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErxdEFcFJB
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta1R53TPu4
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezhBbs0hFA
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUT8p2zHeO
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sI1MdAcjM
Angel slowly followed 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72uccCHEyf
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFQ0tPGG8M
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouTiXEsziP
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4wRDTTPQQ
must have felt awful.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUxDFoSgk8
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8iRwXAnUd
***875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89cLLHm4dg
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy9aOeSn4w
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKq7zOsGQQ
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAc9hw5LUz
He875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51bxKY4fqH
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Dv5kfbmS
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyqwXvT9Lk
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE27BP2SzjI
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL5RIiuXLa
Since875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOa8pA7cUP
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMwUEolim
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu9H13GPHL
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDgDFetA8t
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilDPdh9oPE
Who875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojdp6wHnzX
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoidIFfcDv
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDnDCl4Kpe
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9DodKruxa
He875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvSl6fVF0P
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyOfnNwNyx
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHJBc8WfN
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgkk6Qq0yx
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXcq3KDc7I
"You've someone here to see you."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduoYpOGXo0
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jj3ZVo9SN
"It's Trina."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV8FKcLnUR
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiMAa4aOqJ
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YdnngZRSH
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeomcoqqBaq
called off.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQ5yf2lL7
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qvSiq0Bfs
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNbhOWL7wg
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEDZXcQjyC
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9X2FDaSr
Trina875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oNWyAGjPv
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ4IELcQUY
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwQ6E7W5e8
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OUaBGdsh
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJx0lYfos
fall out sometimes but still get back together.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISKOqVWk82
Now875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjeZb9RoJ9
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcApLITGdn
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaY9SFDEYB
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYHd0vho5G
weren't friends.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhPXGw0Sg6
While875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pQBwsRb1n
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC86kR7Z4z3
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkj1a30L7I
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksrapns7hi
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZarBGpq0JA
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMhTweiI3A
One875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtv2EM4gIf
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ80ewlCvSR
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrDoKg1CIX
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyKG2qFDx2
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJWDqOO7x
one.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRc2nGF2S0
Not until he met Angel.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKrslwmQpf
Trina875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUiDv5cKAE
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNT5HWAmlX
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexx6R7poJc
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWekwLoCz1
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIqwcVTuD6
Trina875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4K6dm9FoR
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTKEF4E1Zd
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CMBNvTQPW
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZYXcQ1nfC
beautiful.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN335OP282k
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKKVgwZ7wR
"Then875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gsT14msmH
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLz3yNGUBY
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGzJH3YxAV
side to try and work things out."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc2L6rHAB2
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1AZt9yiXB
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKP3yoQjR
"Ya, me too."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlHwctPxbr
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGGvnmpJuO
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlVxD2L253
"Do you know something, Eric?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiGSDo6q7U
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRFLwQiwZl
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbeC0jWwzB
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhYAyo3NHE
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonBnMQGhon
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoANdDoNFi
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUghFnvdC
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2iPrbp83L
eyes with a corky smile on his face.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsRGElX5Dx
"Please,875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dzxwSe5mq
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fkaa0Dik0
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEKLrGgsC6
ask him?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dDAaILWQf
Trina875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS5BqIfVZf
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGdHUGzOmP
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAHfR1JEOp
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JDByvJvcV
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCioXJf7NF
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO018b0EYkP
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF14liDfR1
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflYUbennu5
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajlFdJelHd
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcqy1HuRh4
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn8BuaOMI1
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglgDR3m8sV
to say next.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1mgKfTkII
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfxuVLjjEH
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCSt0GmcCd
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLNYyTSvEA
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2clHsIonE8
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t5ld1ShCN
"She's875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOVFV4eGG
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlXzMviFHI
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tblu79zTw
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Ddls18Cj
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlxIE0YQsZ
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DnVMmZcnR
anymore.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvICzXb6g18
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfqUuWkbZs
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PAysChrs
Trina875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxS1rcb0mJ
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhmqRkn2ED
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2VWfLXpPo
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvZpqPrQbV
massage him.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PpaZRNxJg
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkNw5xONgG
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QsezXd6Q2
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVRnwURZXB
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK7TihLCXZ
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0QxDqsB67
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESxkHlOSKJ
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIeepGTLMr
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo17GgEnCIx
He875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAklxilJhdS
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUBcwhasP1
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQM3UrbEco
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8acCNrM7R9
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq8uSEU2qd
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKRNGn7Gfm
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOypSgXJG
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyGpDFE7JT
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrOVA7aku
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPitsjvQyE5
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACDrHsTxo7
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8ceZEhx7
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8aQAwIExU
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANVOimvUH1
"Oh,875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS0DXXFlaz
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DDNht8i7e
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8gTl0ZnMz
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RzXeigU5x
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxyTHmKMfq
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl3puAp5JL
Trina875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFLKTZQMus
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KIYbphS1b
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcXn4fjlu5
Leo875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3780NGTZBI
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zcY8ZGQqQ
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvN377xYD
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciNhxDxKA1
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d26vxS5M0
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUd2GxFPZ9
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Y566YSGF
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Satuv9yr
"I was just leaving," said Trina.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ExNySXG0
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVBVY6mHme
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11XW6D5fuc
With875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VZxXsikSf
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmX55I7hgt
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjy2VdkfD
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS0PVO7YIu
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYUcGPkxga
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9w01Op1aa
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d92CUeMbH
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCRmKpEiBT
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEv9hm5uhZ
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlhWGnvFBn
"Well, you would someday."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYF54dzxgL
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUWcdPC7JV
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTobU8wrXci
"That would be fine by me."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVqwDr7BVX
"Oh,875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexSvmdh7lT
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfLTYKIquO
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ZO6gtt7Y
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie8qqosU17
you broke things off with her."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCRLVOpDji
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOVcEPUm6q
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT6RP9w12Q
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxzrHO0waO
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqCE0QDPUw
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUEuuMRloO
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1BmWNzQYG
Leo875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkcsEdhsdR
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eagFDtMkS
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPVildam6
her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKjsfhBMvI
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgkPfzCV0
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2MYCYGlsT
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ONosiK8x
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApuq2XoyLn
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFot3WGz8E1
thinking about Angel just now."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26rZr48XMM
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldihUB6QPa
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76u7sWBLKH
Leo875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OtF5z6yfa
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNiRHhZL1y
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlvu7mHVdl
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ppYzd2F4
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo1nrVcx84
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLyHqwyqAL
"Because,875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwe2EZGLWc
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfwYIusx4D
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHAHmLRPRw
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAA7jFn8Hi
in a sense of emergency to release it."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL7PJGYyiX
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ALlENGSQ
"Of875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZS39vG1YA
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUbu76bx37
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qlMfyXLKi
darling, Angel."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrneIVyPPgo
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby2dgyzpqY
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9UJNGe449
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZu77b0dq
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbxjMDCBlh
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp9mO4Ipn8
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC7SiEwxwA
"Grandma875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4NE5B5vVm
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaLelth5F7
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadP8Jh9Ybq
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvytZvDMsKI
Leo875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69SbBtc6o
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfSxLfl16F
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjajc2vjdl7
word to anyone.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtSj0QOgAq
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vk33pEtxi
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ttTYRSDV4
"Yep,875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJNVjBDQr
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41VzUaHPr1
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLliMqde1N4
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOLfabWUf4
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSqZHHukE6
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvOcnGTnLu
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPoS26U35L
Eric875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4dDSei66o
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyHNU7uYeW
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJfuREiy0W
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtnbKqENVq
Leo875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXOv48tr8C
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIRiBhr3c2
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mXXGTSliH
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7PnIDZKVp
He875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEMqM3p1L
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDqwjX3Pzx
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiw6gpij1q
desk that he had to look at today.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4abSL4vBGz
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPRSwd9pMn
Leo875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m8OaShD0G
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMi7CSLMlB
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gH6Zvkr9U
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
