Angel was in the living 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vcvEJWG4r
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUXIgDoduV
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJAcFNTc26
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JGIAtJH9s
"How was what?" Angel asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAdflxEUGw
"Getting to know Leo?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CW2KZTewP
Angel could have sworn 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySTgm1lcoV
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn5hfHIe7v
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP65LpO4Lu8
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Op7gglquv
"Really?" Amanda looked a801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrflZAI5I
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xD26TQY4S
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDuOk45UPV
have offended you?" 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKMkX80IND
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZHDuvTyxp
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn5C0AcIQt
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh33vOrn7j
"Awww, you're so 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGPP5G5T5i
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBACGHLyRaH
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJeozwlvWo
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHArFFh3vS
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAqOyDUqll
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIBhYaFoZ2
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLLzNOayD
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglxaDYfbD6
Amanda gave Angel the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTjvlcE9Fd
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRF03eJqO
to deal with writing. It suits you."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvY48k0wL8
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6E90YxtPd
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ESfr9CIi
"What is it?" Angel asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa8QONKi5w
"You seem to be one 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4gAWmhWf8
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85Vk2gmOY
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66V2cWUHHW
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q4sBrVMmt
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2iU0tmXpV
"What?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68W5vGhMzZ
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsitxxqAuvo
Leo who had just come in801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetN6QNSTiO
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd2ZU5Isiy
just at the entrance of the living room.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU4PyLCoOB
"What did you just say 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJczBoGHpQn
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWgTyeZDN
the two women on the wheelchairs.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6chfKEcSE0
Amanda turned her 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeYqziCoTO
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACVtZIYVLe
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFq9NSerLI
themselves."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K7ov7XhnI
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqjzU1HtJl
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz1RLTZfBD
Leo couldn't believe 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppsJsPOgtf
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpHGK1jBgQ
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfK94836BX
"Haven't you thought 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMxzUnxy0O
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaHMiMEwlr
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvMcB9C1Kz
job of her own?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WD56bNIN8
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF7JO56j7l
"You deserve better, my 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9yREsao9M
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD2rWh3e3x
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjYYNDhVNH
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlgEMX8dsk
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiK9L3kIaq
"What makes you so sure?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Unkv88KO
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKRtd91xUV
"Mum won't though."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeleA99snHY
"Does she run the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvs2b7cryj
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9DwhnI5pb
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ30hiH8GBV
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q0R8CsFXa
Leo knew his grandmother801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2XpXxKI9F
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t0HXKN2zb
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvkYOQexDa
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvPPo37NIr
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAigqbcieG
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNqIa9PSdy
"Don't say any of this 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5dIzLEozd
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIIj71DObj
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaEB4Q1aCJ
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZsPrOZRuF
have to convince her a little more than I have to."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhDPBOfVPg
Angel gulped. It felt 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMKN3Qk7fE
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFwB2e7snP
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2IQx67Q5J
Leo made his way out of 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVLkSxavMP
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCVeoXiyvP
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWEY6i3CHS
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlxnYOmi9
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcCAMKURcL
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZDo6RGUe9
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1notD1Y6mj
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Shhlp9P8
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7AvyDHzX
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH73WfSeoz
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTN4H1psM2
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bKegZp2RQ
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXIuxJ2vhS
"I'm talking about Kim."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSFg6zRLaz
Angel didn't know if it 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6TeAdCyfB
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl27Vf9gzt
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni88Iydv6q
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3tiwfnf9
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FRPnWM72q
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC07VN09LSf
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM49B03Ugx
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z4GlgIxY8
certain things?801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcQ78nLRhz
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquLTIsUyqm
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI90HRzS0ZN
Angel felt like covering801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImM9v3ejTY
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9xFXmFTA4
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWN7QhTvg
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YCCWOqU3Y
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cr0hweFyz
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCSHTfjcMd
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpDc2GMqiZ
Angel felt her heart 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkXHi26DTb
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDAET8MbT6
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj8k3siDJ2
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX69Pz0W6z
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIh6QuajJc
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgsjN8zZgs
and invited her to the wedding.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjAkyb48Uf
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQSFDpU9Jk
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgl9tPH2P
Angel looked at Amanda 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYG0J0MzRb
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZV0J8cWuH
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg55rPnZA9K
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogpoErGfhO
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrsPui0cAF
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvmEsOtjsq
saw Leo.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWDEcUcOoN
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhr5TgQB8N
"Nothing, dear," said 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQM2OGOhiE
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s19A3bebI
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4HuuGYoH4
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhLaiJf95y
"Have a nice day."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUZLex0YDH
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe4ZUesbvq
Leo nodded his head in 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeEgHl1BvS
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E1Tp5Wpag
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNf0JJaBPn
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiZ6gInZsI
through the front door.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVilVojQFB1
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuokbwo0lkO
"You're unbelievable," 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviL2pUPBhO
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajcYmxrfis
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXwHYCI5D
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc9ukL51xF
"I'm sorry for that, 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ce4n1iOz
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYhGCLtHg
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscqPu5n58T
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiit680wC2R
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvvv0DV7gT
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWLNdDpzac
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RwZMb1bCr
Angel slowly followed 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfbHRb3USX
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs00qDI5uF
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3c38fT1ai
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rn82EMjsT
must have felt awful.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhAXRWmdEh
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJSwXhwGh7
***801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz5q5SLKxL
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN8U9G6G92
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ZMBTjQkN
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDts5HXOiLz
He801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIaybgVth
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpyHzmNnni
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDh627YS1O
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIH3OWhA6o
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIVlXCCe2y
Since801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyafvVHMdC6
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTkWfWsKWh
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUiLoIahlv
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFr4m9sjd1
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRyarbc1e
Who801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaYkldbFPc
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwjD2BWOkg
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhUJ3gGZOd
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkodOpxm8s
He801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB98Eqlv8Vg
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ik3EMQgw9
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzgfLAe6FW
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvStskXl94
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQ10gH6OH
"You've someone here to see you."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cG3rJZEH
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Gsh26oNJ
"It's Trina."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sXfkH8GGo
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY6fjanPFq
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84i09aE3dT
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHQ1wetiDB
called off.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O7bAcVVhF
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhVJyJh9Vv
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2vpPelRR3
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSO2r7rnxs
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hf0wnwJ1
Trina801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkXCXQDNX6
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF7YdTt6hJ
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNDQpMBNxd
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf2SHtAAHF
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qj6GfPt2X
fall out sometimes but still get back together.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWJ3lVmch
Now801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AspM2bnk9
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUzVjfZzt0
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHqIGzbMr3
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw0dFcJCid
weren't friends.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKwLHwkZE0
While801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Omv2jMrI
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qQpYnvNJc
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasjf9Kiddj
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkiQ0Yoff8
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuH5Nyp2UE
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwsmCUsJfM
One801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrqDJ9VRy5
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeJ0ulQNlM
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2yUa5mLnn
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZvGRRrNu
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSRt97OX1o
one.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssVIoyrSGj
Not until he met Angel.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDFIfla149
Trina801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQhaZIoC1S
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLb3l8OP7
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecTkgcH59H
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJn8AGXsi
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBTtYa4zFM
Trina801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpf3N9WGBP
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiPXoQ4Xqz
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3u5sLtVRp
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtDsB4ePxk
beautiful.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420rcR8EIl
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY7rlecZAp
"Then801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qy9em8l7Y
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPjzuYeqUa
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbnQK3OpXG
side to try and work things out."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpPj6Gq1wQ
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlthN89Z8j
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTKuyiajVb
"Ya, me too."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2i1rJeIe
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphViVllZrr
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ElGCG3UA
"Do you know something, Eric?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ6AIuLfvY
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtuDkauqG1
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD9sVpQWm3
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yvyNDpLm8
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPVN8ws2Bs
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlOadIDgha
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7db2vL4GL
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEHvF2YwJb
eyes with a corky smile on his face.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisRzTtIdrP
"Please,801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xccB3y3c8
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaJvvZHVwn
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqjpMUbDJ9
ask him?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv5JB0JTZF
Trina801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PsWmrhZSo
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdroLzNP3BA
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95DuLu48Xm
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyBazEE3Ex
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY30YRoCVP
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT7v7jn2Cv
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISZLs77GOM
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdUsQecXrx
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3xOIk7gLS
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2y66UgO2a
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuwH7zmMl7
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZoJLB2B97
to say next.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhFddrImdp
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVHKAfTCsM
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU4LqdJWkO
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0JdZyYrX
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIVTRaNYch
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVg0ZLh3Qs
"She's801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvXOyEtOmo
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDYpbZLg6
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bqW15K87t
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINojH5lJzP
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE2COOF2s7
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pEOmrVgSl
anymore.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ75MfHkStj
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQER3w9bwu
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ms5aI2cji
Trina801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMR1zkhBOs
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi38tYSu8HT
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsveeERrx8
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW6BBwbGJL
massage him.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzrQ2xbmPo
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ShQNhUbP
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrekG1kJUE
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWlNjBl6U3
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ytlPEUZg
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8lYmqxq6
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8gQMFEtOB
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFBq095On9
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWQsZK1oik
He801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70oPRp2uKX
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6gFOLeadP
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOrwKiODbr
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh5Dr3ipBo
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHvNuOe4U
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9Ig2KraB
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyneFyHQzgq
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZL8ZVv08q
"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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYzyVdpvjS
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT8xoPAGZI
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFzwTWMLT
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVq3vTah3n
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjGAYbeko4
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXTNmUO94l
"Oh,801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFqdzAGbza
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub4kmIV6GQ
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3LFJXQWNH
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbEKmXo1ZO
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkaInIvhRN
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9zfyqZUCE
Trina801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1iKre53bw
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfnKBEYpb5
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVkB4qGlAh
Leo801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7Frh95pr
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBPe2j87yO
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GxwPgJZrA
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6HCwmIKil
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ewsdQDZf
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAaOQoqdlA
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg39HpeWxxz
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYtxbrMKjy
"I was just leaving," said Trina.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDclRUKLhs
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUSIyain1e
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXdHqrUJJB
With801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETUkO11Wrm
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MeblMxYPD
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe82L7y7xT
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq5FwyXzS9
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbcdjLg7Dd
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm5vFcCTZw
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWm8rRic8k
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2GuCp6zfe
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWUeekx3tw
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqiOJHy3zX
"Well, you would someday."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDogKwXarRo
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU0YxCtOOX
"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?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfL15Guxlj
"That would be fine by me."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wdda1ujBA
"Oh,801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNpcPvRhH
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8LgmDdrx4
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzxKGhAT4u
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvZfz4tEDY
you broke things off with her."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCKMhRuNT
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0XwvIWcXQ
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qPKcmTQvt
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWmi5WVO9x
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqNa3vjrBl
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEXMrRPkRF
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHf9zDQ4MC
Leo801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LdmwdPDmn
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2c8KHRjc9
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaVD6hdVkc
her.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xcqYlXTRh
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxfMCTVrY
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjcKVcgxRT
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZcjrcoQXA
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ418YEkejLh
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefB0MF5TeV
thinking about Angel just now."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq8RR9nLTr
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oQ8ey5LZm
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nqh01El1F
Leo801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4G2OHRVvi
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5YsXEXp2h
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfO7qmuGAV
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2EzaMdZfO
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURwZFCZOAa
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUd2kK8LJK
"Because,801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOXFlkV5OB
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmcyrqgR0M
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8FWvBT5uA
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5fB75XBv9
in a sense of emergency to release it."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVf359qWGr
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxdqeTetHM
"Of801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSehGM6zam
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1y7cyDw49
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZAi1nxWE
darling, Angel."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y2Y7zrN1X
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfYFSHRwCN
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxCHyWVd4
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW9U6olucA
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZOlDgjJJ7
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudQTRLToa9
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."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb6FKVKrUE
"Grandma801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxyw6t5oTh
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eswLGxzYI
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0MDR02c0
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf9cTs3UJZ
Leo801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57P803dkP
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTar73Ekk6
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFiSzoIMec
word to anyone.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCEXNutcpF
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8sg6S8la
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe7P1tC7l2
"Yep,801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rhRIBaUGC
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbVpxF68sk
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINcq44baND
"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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREK4ORgX3r
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2oYOFnQY
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHBt64DRxE
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBq9PkxGkm
Eric801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPvsaiqaYq
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP6XaNKXb9
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUiEcjIlO0
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9UBdKoHrj
Leo801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC9T1xu6yQ
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn42Z895kiK
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWJq0BjJKe
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWVxAAcJz7
He801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcu6CT1bbP
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgYs2sVo51
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ057ivY2b47
desk that he had to look at today.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF5o0VAmmF
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HrLbJKc46
Leo801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWM0w5wxLU
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zZK42lM4
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOChmCfDom
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
