Angel was in the living 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0mQOM8iId
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUipMAtmoco
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAb6KQVuV
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA8tluqV7H
"How was what?" Angel asked.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXj0XW2egI
"Getting to know Leo?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYrh9XUpo2
Angel could have sworn 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbUN4hPUio
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtlZ9ygBD4
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWON5b8ewHm
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVo7zJj98n
"Really?" Amanda looked a766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPSe0BDjm8
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrv56mmgJR
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauCZLP8VRU
have offended you?" 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJWyPRnmB7
"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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc3PRE2LHx
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yY3kOwuS6
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdNzQlaTO9
"Awww, you're so 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyeeoKMSnm
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBuuvMYhn7
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYHpZsOM1E
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XEWu3i6lx
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Y7lRjNDM
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSypoL6ShY
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Pi4ZBAMj
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgTvSgRNJV
Amanda gave Angel the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjRvfVYePn
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXTR2dGgbF
to deal with writing. It suits you."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeTX9CP5Gh
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYLGo7efLs
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXDBGJriZr
"What is it?" Angel asked.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE89nxUaJCN
"You seem to be one 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXa8YdMm7l
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeyvGHG1zQ
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYEX4xOd3Y
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYteWOefJ7T
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvYaRyIiIV
"What?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofYw195IoY
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0OE3MA7O5
Leo who had just come in766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjJ9PoSiPe
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjgeXos4l3
just at the entrance of the living room.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfSAcS1pjb
"What did you just say 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB4xS9t0kQ
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIOSWEEI0X
the two women on the wheelchairs.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6MrAxTyH
Amanda turned her 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp6olM6T3C
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQubeMUTH
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaKA1Yev2e
themselves."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9nYIJ1xtw
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCuE4R6IFn
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeC3jlc6J2
Leo couldn't believe 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4kvmEWB7V
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKJ94Loa1Y
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKWKtSz5sD
"Haven't you thought 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWZaRrFDC5
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXRu0l2yWy
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8iEv3H0dT
job of her own?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBuUeiSQ5p
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY2xRVm07p
"You deserve better, my 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IbDcS4OD4
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNoA1HpNuo
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSuUxN1nan
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS9OdNZMw3
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5uIrVSd62
"What makes you so sure?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpHBu1tmS0
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMGXNP059Z
"Mum won't though."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhz2QgWQ62
"Does she run the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSSfFV15zL
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI9IXMG605
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LOE7XDsvz
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6gW6Hqush
Leo knew his grandmother766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8mZbRy4d9
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpCTyPBBxD
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4Y7pQgj1
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXP4SMxV8o
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUAEf3Huuk
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvov84TfQsa
"Don't say any of this 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9mtn4X2rP
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0qkbrGeYu
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSUt1hfsGv
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuX5RhddJ
have to convince her a little more than I have to."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WuP5tckKg
Angel gulped. It felt 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLr8bs6p1j
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4cnsn8ieM
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZQUh6ZfO
Leo made his way out of 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSb2kEr5s7
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYY31EI1Qu
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BoprxV1uy
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1raTMkE6E
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUdh3Bbxu
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCZZkREI7K
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9CKhasRF
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj9KNCubTX
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNulQ0cNa7
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE8hHCMANA
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeg6uA1ENH
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ9riz8KmN
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJhFmHe4l1
"I'm talking about Kim."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZYfwkrK6Y
Angel didn't know if it 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDWZhpP53j
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cBOMQJIFH
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF5tT2nBHZ
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqwPa81Hpn
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ml1XZA0c6
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql7vfrCk4v
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJHMaZbp53
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OtUdY1Mw0
certain things?766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AsRBvpftN
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAwfIbi5Tp
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5pQE2LN4O
Angel felt like covering766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PkYk7QIUT
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak4heXbNHV
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHefP6RMyDV
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDsCnC3qkY
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LcbHWOrDr
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXDchi120
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3WUOv3btJ
Angel felt her heart 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse8aN9jyVC
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfxInziVJ
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz1rIILYMJ
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt6S9d76Ut
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvGOubA9tG
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFHiz1JSZ
and invited her to the wedding.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoHTUdAcze
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraIvIJoTy6
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6CHBEUwed
Angel looked at Amanda 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjLtvWRmY8
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ070zvp4ghu
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PDKVwtP1P
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwiu4NWf3a
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOfPoIb6R2
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl11t8AocF
saw Leo.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8jdMDekVz
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT54OPh6wH
"Nothing, dear," said 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAH01dTLSR
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZvubM5jC
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPFX4d0Yll
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tw1nxkt1P
"Have a nice day."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJrR69nNh6
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4AX3BQN2l
Leo nodded his head in 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjc3M7XdsQ
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZEfZwVQUU
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6YNiywSGo
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmfrPbZBj
through the front door.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqsjUYWOVy
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYO6AbRojQ
"You're unbelievable," 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR34tvtinKz
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8t2dal2hI
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uiolouf56
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX2PtjN0m9
"I'm sorry for that, 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5aemw2x2
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4lF6MMwmh
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteaYjtQvk1
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFtxeSM9Ev
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVic4dempLm
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJUwTQPncC
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRpuDZkKT4
Angel slowly followed 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IGA6dtFHI
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGnDT8OTM4
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbUKwvwys9
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCV6bjz7V3
must have felt awful.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NJEgaQsKo
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvQOaggX5Q
***766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG8uN269Vj
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx3dXwzwx0
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIshxHRgDIO
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8dMmAjNU
He766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipeXF0aclk
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEERqfU7Ic3
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSamggiT6n
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9a7RXeSGo
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlrhyoFYAk
Since766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcItjQfLKSK
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Q1u1EuRg
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkIQie9kTV
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLC3vG98cD
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwxgppmAt5
Who766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1NlgdJANb
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytIy0L6rcX
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qK60KEfI0
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZAmU2Ct6q
He766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpRUQ7SqV6
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgzj7Hops
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8JdHUA6lc
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUifV53SjwD
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc4AP9QAyn
"You've someone here to see you."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoqe1YRolr
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQUMO10FWZ
"It's Trina."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzm8lL2c5U
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTPNUETYWC
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8POEeKAmXc
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxizyaQWeW
called off.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JQTLT0xGJ
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxnH3N8Fib
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBONz0lOCKU
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUFxCwl5i
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuHIihRVHF
Trina766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PPBmzqZlP
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRY6fhbj8Y
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRTlVZWZB6
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdLQprzZaU
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMLYZNvDVR
fall out sometimes but still get back together.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2792OIg66w
Now766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCdoLpFwRm
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvoMb9cIsA
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKomj3J58jd
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjaFe8dL7X
weren't friends.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfoivvXgaX
While766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Wfpqj9be
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwepmSzIr1y
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNXpGI8vfz
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLly7aQYA
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpBoMfAQjr
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpwhOfRK1o
One766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR616rO8lw
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93PqlyUkO
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8RmV2uijg
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtvHNRFOBP
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBhHTe6De7
one.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPBbPNi7GX
Not until he met Angel.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HgqFVvQPC
Trina766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BF0jYt7iC
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJnTMvnpao
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaVv4VU8Bq
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XeSZBrzbm
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTAp3CJKfE
Trina766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl9JK0GSWx
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMLGFKnNy
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ8DmWEtnO
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5Dj4c0bV
beautiful.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xzUSgs056
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlQ17JSvTW
"Then766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcuOXEUdgu
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhUIYv8AtI
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ90inZiUl
side to try and work things out."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA4q5GHVXC
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y4oTrJrlE
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvHIYjZi8G
"Ya, me too."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB1qsCsoIW
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXTGa5K6iX
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoZYDoYWEj
"Do you know something, Eric?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFA2384S53
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5480u87V
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSxl1PLNp
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWZnBTqDCy
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D5wsdmLzc
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ffLIgheE2
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJm90K98xw
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDEsRa82XD
eyes with a corky smile on his face.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm1iJh155l
"Please,766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nKKuAFBXx
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gY4eqd05y
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN4YlVpsi9
ask him?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVmZC3LL1C
Trina766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBOJTMSbyK
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Kqj7eZgh
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lqz4vpMO
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrNyuLmVwZ
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQI7BZpmBd
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKDGuMfRkp
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRX3z2nw3m
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUQk9n7Ax
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ICzN8lVYl
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOUszWEA8J
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX1nJe0EOw
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xU8iVc6Gg
to say next.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIMLi94M2U
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU0KvsyZtJ
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNNvDW55jG
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLd4sTrLBj
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPHFpMpN4I
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X4GUQzm0B
"She's766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4lF7Y7kI1
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVKh9eocBg
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwc5d4aWA6
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU123EPxg4t
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTeQzAkiH7
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsIqec0wfE
anymore.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYnCBBjvKA
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1RNXH6zJF
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xg1QXQTCl
Trina766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQHn9kgry
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd0YUyqa3h
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmjfuWJr6A
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNKVfxR4if
massage him.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupG6UP2yHL
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkOoH7Jf7r
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnwJyECjRQ
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r787VKy2S
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PcZEvzKg
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aIjgGu5D
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy5cQr6JEf
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEf6GDuzl6
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyxrOubuv2
He766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdAkZ34lu
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVty8NeRj9e
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdYfiFIfwj
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBTxtWhNdx
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZhgsiM6k4
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxTwKKFeqk
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfQEC94qRu
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS8xTYw7LX
"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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ryl20PhUn
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfnpSixurd
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOyd1LboRw
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgrzXJ7TVx
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdTO8vevrL
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWndl5zoJ5b
"Oh,766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ536dhhVx0A
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k47IR1Uqt
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziTQeir5mW
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgLFB1rtOz
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uaB26qTHu
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcmIAF6VD5
Trina766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTrNBIzIp
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFtEhs4gcr
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaYrkEqhWa
Leo766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8xkaMYmHd
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57a5DFsghS
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHiSjDAXAU
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam4ZPnGz91
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8efMDflO0
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SLbrpWDM2
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25HwImawWE
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwJBIHqTq0
"I was just leaving," said Trina.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNCi2P74FX
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdKCnuCkQ
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm55ecxTW9j
With766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTdsG3V0zT
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqZF7rW8ZM
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3dzxKopdE
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1MwH4vbD4
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQ5pRu5S8
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBjan3HZqs
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMgxdhbavq
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNse3RlRu0
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPuujxjdej
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDNK0kSWet
"Well, you would someday."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOnFmzR75V
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtug1MkccZ
"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?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZgKDyPkC8
"That would be fine by me."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGFtkfAAl3
"Oh,766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7EX0URRQK
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoaMzg3aWA
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEJ1KDJF3b
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44VmW61hMl
you broke things off with her."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiIlpdfZn4
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ZNS0qQqN
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKpzsOy8pU
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgFgL9B0R7
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxjJozsmtS
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLtOMifIqB
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsC2i7goxU
Leo766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MbTVtdi3U
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFwyVOqBM
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ43yMg0sf3
her.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE5xDXFi8B
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjsuuZwwz5
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcSabeTgH4
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCN4vZjvNN
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP9XQEfkol
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOZXc1Dvs1
thinking about Angel just now."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXeY4pvNIN
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBBDezR6lC
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF76l6E2RVM
Leo766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCF34wQw7d
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJNOGYZEdM
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDw7iCunIZ
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3MeEuYKAB
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Seh4qdBoc
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEefNsdl3D
"Because,766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4esuVvirC
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex5bKKo9Bp
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdbjZBkdR3
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcswBfWa2Pr
in a sense of emergency to release it."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC3VrydkO8
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoLX0GqN2S
"Of766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ucDzjdlA
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbEI4SDoH8
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcqVjAm52j
darling, Angel."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZaQzFdm7O
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KDCsLQJjC
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwGkvI3TyT
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ZLnlJ9wr
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpamgTp48Ma
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Z53L2CLK
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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbPJePvLJJ
"Grandma766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScdQ8qJEGB
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVZH6dwBqS
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jN3UkGbtV
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz6KzO9dwE
Leo766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjg3lx8ksR
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD6K8aPUzj
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhA2cPPlqZ
word to anyone.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUXLv7NwMu
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPH0Ay7cKO
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl9ClgkxK0
"Yep,766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt6CMnmHyy
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCk1paKt7x
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmTwPdiSoB
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pf08cdeFS
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEvVHFoIGt
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxWr39w82s
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF6BBphhSL
Eric766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlFjAaQBte
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBWFNESRbm
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJplqkwi38
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEdFrpQSPA
Leo766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvBq5VH6v4
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gCKnQnAlJ
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2vvA2pJH4
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN00dFWqhE
He766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe37wMo2cd
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn4OH99Tpn
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87gLauXI9l
desk that he had to look at today.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9zNVZ032s
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7MjdgwLwI
Leo766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSRFvR0FTe
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXln3v00wB
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDeXZpUf28
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
