“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyGalcdtbI
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKxQ9etHzv

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6YGgTAUB1
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lpqO3RDHF
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS8WapkOXT

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfvxJfvgcO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9565EXoRBS
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZ4Mdy35X
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VUt6dYeUf
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2csq1I2Q

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuYo4jUKnt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BbyPExTq5
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lumd0OydS
want to say it.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W8zO6eib1

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPxq30eqAZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehVzU6k3wX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWAvoDEqM
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY60f3YIPy

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrnquqDCjT

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpCEn0Xqnk
because that’s just how she is.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetrFR9FJyi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPd4OiRXgp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCNF3n2AC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXPFKHiZEk
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNFBP4rxRa
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41tBvuB0qO
your fun.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIyh9V3gP

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d8g4ASFp9
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr5G3sKZQ9
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jDhcMuUW1

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhdxSGeXJt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNf2J35122
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyD9NwRcR
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK5WI4MUY5
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdDQYOn14C
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfjeHM2yX2

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMMwLIENU9
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7CP4Ox2Er
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gp4Zay2ZO
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DamTy2mYx
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPgjPAuEsJ
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ85VSFYxt
that they should join Angel and the others.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJO6hgYUmY

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6JBeOKVZi
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqwIwdkxds

“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSLBY7ERAY

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTh7PqMbN

they aren’t at their table.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNemY7Rps6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTwCoDjThr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQbC6gyusX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVksF1turA
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy4gPm9Q5H
the counter.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAkz8uNam6

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JDwnEREA0
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3W9Qk4jVx
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMJL0dCglS
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIO3j24AVH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCctWhsqxHb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2AALWmbjR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElID8tNhr
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0GdI4UeSi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdxAxo0eEp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iBpbd8zuX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MW1YeFEQw
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFfRHqSKl5
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnYJ9dqBCu
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtEfzu52xd
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoJWs5Lh5F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOjYwh4xdS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbW966e6TG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Q6KfBZxd
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44tZWhX7uI
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciYnDC8A5u
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj55bycGGGx
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVHbMHgvTU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4E4fWvx1z
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8axzl1A3DP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhfj0ACFDF
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwWwxyBlPy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULxxMEjSPi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQC0od3rhB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq8hyg4KK5
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMCFBx8nmY
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x9s9OlpjU
would speak first.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCFlNCOvxb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpGQnJwNSF

“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XcSq0WCWB
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw30bCP1cGI

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPJHWfWdN7

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoME7k5KFc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo3cRha0yL
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyG9YHIJIz
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBY4qrpBFk
it was hopeless to do so.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq06rRqRmsf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWyX77VT7Z
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHzzQlpDLP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiZILKetAo
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WOdElMYw
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XZ8qBH8SC
Walters calls.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tAr0di4or

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Js5eoO4o8
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDTQHwN40s
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfouQ4kxK
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOQdQAQsDp
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D4nrzjGdV
minute.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h93my9F4D
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdSGrUNK2I
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyeXJIauTL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5b8TNbEx
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKykvPXfCX
door.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBL70hMDzs
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXunF28ac1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSL9EadUNV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNbF1FZyGq
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBONbq7hEc
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31yW2lkIL8
any moment.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdHOUm3WK

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqD7epbebr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWLWs0fpF
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONHwPvK92
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcygzUOjp25
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscmSiBlEzL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WPCP4HN5k
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUP6ndB2VJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVaM9sdHS6
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZUzXUP7cS
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHOSfvsCem
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsWNfYQchb
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqaNjHkk7C

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV0Tzpbp5R
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy4zSHpHQt
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqmECEyetp
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspWdbnUYfD

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh45y2cdF27
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy7HJztbiG

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihZhkHwrSP
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqIPSLvSwt
Eric and shook her head.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6LRulrFsG

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4m8jQra8e

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNlw83TjV3

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfaZu4pfEH

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TkiqMzPn
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdrrObvqPB
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE82ck0L68

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiuzEJp9lO

they all burst into laughter.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzTMnpmoRC

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJWW73LFP
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZufqyPX3Y3

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduvvih8JtV
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29YtrxXGYM
out his hand to get a nacho.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5zN3y9uFT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLRQ02lHDD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRHy4ntJsg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgizEzMbZw
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2TRvv1oAU
afterwards.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPa0IGWiz

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbF5G0oOf
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr65S1BbbB
the future.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ns9RdDDwV

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxVIbPyub0
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hK0029PQM

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh782oV8ERU
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKS0EK36Xb
the statement.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTkMGLqQv

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78lxBcelxA
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbTUSAw9xK
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFxIroUVBf
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYK2eeUia
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiL9BdcLjD

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vuHnFF73e
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q6S7qpCOn
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37M4Hr6P0D
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uTlRr4p2H
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMnlKUGevV
elsewhere. What should she do?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV7dmxeUav
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZR706OLXe
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs3phqfhti
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i8AqE7wFB
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeyKuoYf9x
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYU45YvjqL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzoEDlTtSo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItFWy2WrP8

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi6GTgIqjP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkws7Gojrq4
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlooxNqc60L
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLIt2SfU8K
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0WhflIGDz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE2K1lnFMY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4RubFGA8o
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH8SNHxOeN
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHTH102tLa
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8koJzvVWya
necessary.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgJrI0fWpU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkGtFJmMrN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfciEXkPvx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnQRAbGKmo

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VKYhbA10b
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcDFmMKQWv

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDTElEkNU

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFPSZDNAFx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDykpamYbeu
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioOVI2uoWP
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbeSTANDm
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ5GnkOUlI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRZIGNmbEr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbO9tpcCRA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8reIZNyFNF
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiMGlOdtaZ
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZv5dpzmOf
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAL1D4Zl62
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfusOhBsf0q
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBmtbb1gtt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMCweFM9RZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9c6PoCcE
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcb2qG6YlV

us.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqBgzxfg3c
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl52SBLwKlI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTamaMssIzl

“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg2J09A5g6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrmg5YNFJs
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJWeQYhA4j
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaErRoadoD
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcrA4kUlLR

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRARadOsi2

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24cZs8IYJi
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39N7rFonKj
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0UzCpSZN
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHIGReqTTK
counter for a drink.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7NW3pEWwO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASI0ydD5QS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybagvNTG3S
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbkdUWzoR
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAi5ExSPV
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoeqilWvQJ
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90OwD30a5y

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF17Ve6ssKk

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHjblsaaf5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLrIwuU2N
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMuuaBB1k6
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNX7M1nkKM

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Kw8p3huG

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDYbiOYPmd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AlJkJTET
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y9LONzM4l
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ytmPCkBco

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBIh77nnsC

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqBdFXkXx
just as jealous as I am,” she said.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImiyHnlbXS

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtivwmYXjfk

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0U15sSZ38
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrfawkea14
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDziCDSSRty
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOvW3WJMQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIrcnFiQKz
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuDuvKgXL4
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDQmVXTt0

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi1brdDNA1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGMbIV6o4
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dsIJMPmQr
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLaRiWFNNi
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsCJ3MvtpF
go of him that easily.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46VvoIYTJ7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4yxxHOPa

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHR3Kki3Ba

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCwCb6zNz5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuCazXqrnP
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahngHHs5fE
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLyij6u6hx
isn’t going to do you any good.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ChCWDwars

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL95FmV5ldR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECTQBBqSWx
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4BMT6PDUK
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iYZmAi3HS

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD1YPN9Oan

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXz86mknj
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwo1Wci3rt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvfq5TEwCF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxV9ue5q5y

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxzt0QBn30
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbk2u3oELL
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4xOMtjjt
us some drinks.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrvD0jfDmo

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVemZMRzDv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPCJ7DMUpI
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGsEkLZO0X
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlP9g0m3UH
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJy7Eb5V7Q

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5KTu8hxdE
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yQK4mmBsH
she didn’t even give them a second thought.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglkxH1x5QB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQj7Xy2Kzb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nW4lXLpH8
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7MTFfgYfw
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqQQ5ww5P
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgFqOcHlrx
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCq4w04BWi
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7sZoI5tLj
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH52NOZanS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RAnJgDuzn
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VtkvkMJ49
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVifuKOaTM
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oGkpCHjM7
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnDeuHzsUd
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkYoCT3PQ
she wasn’t too careful.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSubBys2GV0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xauFVupyN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20MSMWyw8P
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5G2UmhkOY
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFnBlB0qL
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPjSxmzd7J
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxOzDfZMAX
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx5uvacbXY
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLW3th9AWW
things.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeiwhEYKZi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDeGkQYQEQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHWiT0R0o7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaGhlhxlUG
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOUSbwVuL
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPztE08rwsK

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIufMbdXUA
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM02qnEhd2v
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxmP9ou4Iw
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIfM32dm4O

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE02Mwpc9BT
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo6y507AtZ

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUorMVorEA
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9UdHDfOB
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIiGjBucOR

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3xBPUTOhC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNelos6EjV

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcijnMMDLaP
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31MKuEsKOS

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1LJItOk5
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwOeBC7XYL

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywr89ZmiUu

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS99qSCbsP
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqnOz5ppN

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBO3AIFTNX
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKqEtjPzb9
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZtURTknUK
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ5zftCC9b
sincere.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkFJ1dG28v

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVJk7w0huy
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvV9jwhF3T
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOnfnwvqyS
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77DyoOCpGY
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFcraZxzsH

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2RIICYfnF
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUWtcchClG

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM27svufDIL
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MhJDcAXEG
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobMbfcvtYv
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFCan9wjVL
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1rt4jYbkO
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsPb2PyyV1
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPR6mmCnKC

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXpyOUucc4
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlls295Pe0
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrKM1a9MXt
though she had woken up from a bad dream.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvoePErcs5

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KhRdFVvjR
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h02kvfzFv
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkLZjjAv8D
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhTbt6fw9g

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i52ItC7Or
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhQXCPR7Iz
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZwwESS1Oj
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVoOcFnpCj
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7VwX4kK3

Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauzLOg0zIp
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHHnfavj8N
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRqpPvMc9W
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdUS2DQQQu
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ggBBYtHu
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOzmVj76o
notice her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuquacZjwjG

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrgmSgRE0l
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP56d0J65a
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZy1zAEJCs

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEYuuyBzBM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmRF3TTOAh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyMZ7Tsubh
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AV9ZCrOGT
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRou1yI1Jud
surprise.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWNdZ2SfMf

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLSjSQzjdk

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CmyDdjcmF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbL5ZAVdNb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmliWvnGwE
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2fd2X4W8D
“At the candy store.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTbM1RDob7

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CzxKhRj9E
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1tY3VNBF

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoHaxFiqoA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCIqD5Hrxn
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aPHVoqzIT
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElBFyfSdIm
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHRIEEQ7RK
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdqMr3uUjg

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Okhq2DbR
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl6y1lOLyP
their conversation ended here.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70o8JUCpWo

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbiFMp8ZpG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37xoxS48oB
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjklhSC1UK
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEbVE0bZl7
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1chLxkK4

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOktB6U6MT4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9V498Isu3
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DRdRI8EDU
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo4qDXROsR
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiH5a8Ct9U
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBwOewk0xu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk9EewppG4

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY3FlzzVot
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxIwofmxfa
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbbAvxVLgb
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorpBWQCsY7
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvNPOfWu4y
leave, but after she finished her martini.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwZWQX363o

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qqQqOt38V
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqfp3RiCjy

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq6cB9vkPm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmM1neK5Be
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6DokDx2fI
Kim’s shoulder.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYlJLBFiRI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqZ5RiNqCv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPDM37Gld
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx7YmP1Zce
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5sbN8kdwG
idea. We should get out while we can.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kqAizst6s
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWVE0o2VWI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXmAHCIVns
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgtBmK9Df8
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aILhuQ5ox
the conversation. Let’s go.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAimiWmwUQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGXpo3RZRp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNhhdF9miT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQODUkoSSB
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx78chXbt6
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCv490EBDd
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamNUQh5aGe
were able to see Leo’s table.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2TgrhWMdV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VvQtXYpHQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFsHSWrj98
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjNkOjjxiI
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztplKheybs
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39lVrHDAnT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAjMaRtPRJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRCnZ98oB0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfss43LiYst
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsIcu5MHJp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZo0XxSTb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5IO1pmIe3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99BQSN0pq8
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hcl5tdFS0
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pDigeONL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8cEgTgWJ7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuUAJFwRlm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnlWOUdWwW
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxuOoq9kXu
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99eCxsLnE
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgjqznRn9I
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSWaHk3JzI
counter in anticipation.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT8KtUyjUe
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWnMoigeQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawekjMSMF5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPai14UDS4Z
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85emN0y3wb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61QrLbdUaH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NToOW01Xc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fEcwahz0h
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRCTTnBMs2
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkD7UAyWr3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD12hc1x8Yp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgfE3lQIUP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopNDgf4LE6
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQEyElUIW
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Oq0rdAuF
head.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnefLsnaSEq
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3Oqo8tC1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGzFo9Iw9l
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS9iGEPFv7
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjF5Sv7Icx
not at that intimate level.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnxWgJlTbC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLU1MgUCQg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbzQbtGI3v
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2bsNtf6lj
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPBCld0quu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1SgXXkfFf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCbJIK69Xu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLAx5qkbSI
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5G2Hmgh9d
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IRgnxX6U
he was being friendly to me.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9faP2apic
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfh4PH2lvU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkybnQJJT7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaeHardf01
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNPhruZNls
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvry26MBYQe
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq8kGC1VmY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgIMBMyStG
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WebnMxjKP
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2tYjLRbmc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uJyPVLwIQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP4ekdLyJa
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4fgIcmm9
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmP9OJlyzK
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXrVVJwV4w
counter.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgD0cb7Ac
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wIkyOUCto
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYUGfATNNZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PAPEpjPBo
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCl5ZmDAsx
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfCsF8HNcE
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xO0Uz429t
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFdca7xe20
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctdqXKUKwi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8vmzCn0N
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPMPiyg5u
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBGFR2IVW3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ97HX161L
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64YLX3PLxr
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNhzz3HKkI
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu0TNnfDvg
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P1idi9BIB
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWOSEPfOIU
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBWH3eXY7W
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQJuatCgTQ
that was different from Carly’s.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ZfBjuYJO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EuMZm33h1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wftliy253
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjyJyORJXd
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1icDVFyGB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTfaK3Xizw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqQJCaZO9W
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQwujqVoE
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW6z3Kj1cY
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJXbRRL3P
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tee8sEXFO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpZrwiNE8
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBvdNMUJf7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsQ5y8gz0M
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5yp6joOsj
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCiE59uklt
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6veMWg94DQ
doing here?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSkytMf52M
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyLdMfGJy9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFEPiGNxNQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4LxZ7OPUc
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8euw5kNFO
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49nqwCOGFX
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4bb1RV91c
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkHeN1kBB3
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlGTgp0DEh
surprised look.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9DozDmkya
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5haDVHHgH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFtwW40jbm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5CGfKHdUw
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3onH3UIry
get her attention, but she thought better of it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWujDFB7IW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvTd3cthIK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKs9bhUFwt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbRedp94pA
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMJ3Ub7zl9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtMFym4rc0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqyviLd6Ph
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZ0x06x5j
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaz0VJksqN
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtmgtiSU8C
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLUCgYQkde
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V3q6uFLhm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0UBnaHMY1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61R9GHwsX4
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP650o8k8S
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfBjbxdQWj
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2akZivcWR
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfgkQFoKvP
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUBKLAeFuM
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49m7GqQlGL
the table.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbFREE7Q5I
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrbfb8ghz1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMpZa7tb5l
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7cuxFLgeM
“What was that about?” Eric asked.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19cavYptOP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYcIFNJpgZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQneaUsJHc9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6frIq2MBjc
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT3DITutnC
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD2zYk1gIA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZpdokXCCM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguxZHgkysi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJVPl8qXRd
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEgREG8Oal
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uRcGh9tKm
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk6ssZHAEe
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJqHy04ODX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUdW3kwr6h
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4rHlYHql
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbenWBEekY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzW0yuvLLP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1gRqopxC2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgPfa1W1Re
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLdIsVG0ig
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJB6vRbejM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWu3J5pzpy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1RWi9Xs10
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHlz459uOm
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmgvHqEqlJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UlQY2p5LZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw0VAqdJG8
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8EgivbKaG
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoII45vs8xp
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2a1dc2X7s
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ju91q45ol
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiR4KSoN8U
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFqLS8nNff
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo8bf0MnWa
said Marco.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPnXPpwNh9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPAt2hTAoC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWdWZVc8dE
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtwmvcCdMW
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GeIfN3pSg
more handsome than you.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQv7PSOZML
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ605RNLDcqs
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy5BJZZ38P
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2KXWReiJ
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmII926ihCg
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyVCvvDk90
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXcVruE8sG
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeayPoQ2bj
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKpXkBTQ44
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLgAAYSARR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9LeBcQfHq
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo1haFNcgz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPzx0MAtK
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkNBGER3i9
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6rGpapizQ
thinking about.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI3lbpM73b
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvi8LCSdeF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPRG7gbJD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3boWqeb15
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjM570U5X8
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAuhJTbaGP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpdneoLlD3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk8MvNRmTu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyDeY3DRAa
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYI5NX8h9F
brother’s face.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqbtin1WMO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcsf2HVD8Z
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHqBmTy9nw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JUdFOEcEv
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yn7LNM9AZ
at Oliver.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE93579VcvZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBMKYzf3sC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ01oVNuJh

“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyOrHqZqQM

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV4BVQagfA

“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97qScO2Zjr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFAayxiCeB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zp4vVJmvn
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXee8ryEwC
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgganbvV0Ij
heading out too.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c2YO5jfXA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJJqAvkY4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK3jlCP2jX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAN81CnmEv
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzT61UqucF
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y8EMTO1S2
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vC4bvoBW6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97CYS6Mj0b
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5MJ3mpjts
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3bsbcZKQw
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40sr0d1wT
way home.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQarsPeIplp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjP9d0mlis
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnTC1N9Fec
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz0SO4nwBn
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1D5QkO1iE
here.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLw1VqWZPh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzv5QkxMrO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabKsp30Qsx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln5DLzyWX3
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2nA3U2vtG
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f20b7GTIF
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxLDK1Q0CN
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZ6iB1YWw
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnqdsgM8Fp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Si8IO64mz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlXGp88J2r
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3julROsuD
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid4TS48tiA
little longer.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmOLubSq1C
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYK0V3IvSN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2dz7iT6f
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXQM82c1p
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObX0DkLrqC
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGs4g7Kg0I
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtlEe5EPJ7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0BLGeCUhc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MDG95M5Yy
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSv65wfuA
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJjfb1So6d
get your number, Angel.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMhwki8cHg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY42tWIpZB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNope4iRD5k
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo98466XZED
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79N5ebUee5
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi77nMfqJr
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnYoY7kVAw
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0mKeVdKOj
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA4bryhmpu
care less.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x4udhtM9i
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCQ86VXacQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmvKWQDRAQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZi0HSvrBM
“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0B20H04hx
should do this sometime soon.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcZlpU9Pqh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7admWvLgCy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vpSI0PHRM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2RvaPFuX6
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0B2sRvOZo
difficult.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmznhsfdWj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6gPHcMUIJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LAXq9KM3w
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4w5AqhZKH
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH9InUKheT
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKANANnt9Lf
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJKQRtuV16
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSjWDlpCoz

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV2W3Ws0QT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwjmKqtf9F
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9xuzhyPlw

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DsiRDL2dy
much at all for a while.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VEBskPj8a
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYYhf3qxnD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq8DTdwKxc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ALEUNNUg
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupmPrR6H7c
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BViIRgnoc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqSOOeVJaA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUcNaprI8D
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCfQRdc2pg
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu9s2pFNu4
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LnXVoyi0A
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmylh4ynpKK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW9NdNB7Gv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKcytQbVjk
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UyhcZMA2m
home.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpCAdlqjAI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPnY1FPS4N
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke1f4wlYnX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bkZqTP69Q
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ZBA5TYTH
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQY933fbO
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKixDomSK8j
Miranda might still be around.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrfSTNwAoZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1OZFJtgp3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4cGMEUMWy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRbYKya3OS
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg3ltRmJzX
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoCB8He56X
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Dqu1nxIA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyIn7QkhoP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZhig8uEp
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN33Qrtn4w4
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8eD4Wy9cn
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekWkj1HNBn
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARmnHz31eQ

around?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l9PcEhnLc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi5MjdJJzz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6YPcQFCKQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWhWdVOYM2
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rz8pskRdC
the bar area.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno5OTL6o0j
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD752a0ziKH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3p2XBZ2N8
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORn0LpV89y
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxiaN5Xs5H
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsp9CXD4eJ
they started to stand up.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbGndEsDa
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgmoqfN4qF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzwguP968X
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TImnasLL8
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5c2rYDne0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nEpby2PwA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ga73NLXHY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFh8fhsAxx
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKZxOGxBQn
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2GfO7U7L0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwkLohlCiX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbm42ZJbPx
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnrqy496li
see.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1AC7M0giB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SmoGbKbMz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTdcCJmcww
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSXG2Y4meY
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIxSgrlnRJ
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwKprZV0qC
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3hMVjAqWo
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Rh4J0fhM
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMxIbLOXle
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyAfEuncNM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3dsrX27Vf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtd2dZ0uci
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcul466emB
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNYUXKRn3r
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9lwqrYN6i
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdb8CjQig
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfelvuH4vMe
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7S5OIm3wl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDJW22VYB5
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgRikkn3q
seen us.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwO4iyrFXt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBAnpvC51U
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ4VIYnmU9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzELNnoYNY
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1sDTVA4Q9
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB7VknWRi4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0kcDywy8m
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi55Yngg5A
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qR6h2X6Wa
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkraKBiXIsf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAPk5iBQDu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaHpnBh6NM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LzknRZ9Sc
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu0xqV98sN
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ecWLoJirs
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0BaaAbkLl
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmb3GIcls
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQmLcbeJcB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQzkomeX2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MFhVTWPY4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId1mqeGJig
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W2ud8TUUM
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NNgGvGXmY
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3PIaneP1p
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrbtAobFWc
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DXKPj2GzH
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zw2NEKfLb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi1IFxjGQ2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GzNe4UmIR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI9rYKqjMC
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZKDgW8y3
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O7PiLjXhh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov7SfbpK6F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwIWLitMo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM03ODowNjP
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuetpOQqH5Q
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9AMxCmnOR
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGXQZNte7L
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXY4GOwJ86
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG8JUwtGYw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD9GVKTvPS
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3blyoobDyL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex2KY0YWNd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0SacXEmWI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8MrXxyak8
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mx9msQdyn
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Csztc3hb
this wasn’t over.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOT35lU2lW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SKJCQgNkg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklAgaqmCXC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcvMPjgvdx
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprHgeXExxK
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClWcas1qAB
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEXiDXt14J
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC14Q74o1h
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCMpWO39eO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjJu9cZmaG
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vUFo6NVpO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5EMj2EPLO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Rfw5yVhd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMcmQ3cRD
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlehmSM0Qy1
favors," said Angel.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO9l3SEUCB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkhX36lj6l
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZlftVeEI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZYG8EIkMK
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4e1wom6f4
they been there?"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyyRQ0k04y
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoSXMvN4vk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDX6qPk38f
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0ztThWb8
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd92SaKN4nQ
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9MaV1AWBr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh0qnl25lj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGyy1Y9NDQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt97QgSrg5
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSX8fGdgC
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TNMY4xx1G
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTs5MzqyqK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahNz7P28Rg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I86SepzK1
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje0F6DToBl
so you've got to be careful from now on."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAGayalShl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAKiptyX8A
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnqdp5aUme
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHwohx30tN
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6TyZUTljz
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfybR3b2M4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RENWz8r1S
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GrDXyBf8d
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ782VRiIyZz
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxRB8DH0B1
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsaBnuU7ja
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxo9Z02snE
night only.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSyCi7Tmib
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ddMTxbwp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpF18hLbv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1sltYXJuZ
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7eWBE5ii4
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqDWplEgz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeVj83LlPt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P7qSu1wJD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66obkQR19I
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPvCdH08b
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeihhI8h5tM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpchsuyMPrz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAcyFJSRlo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu2fxvFTZn
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdrxqUd11G
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGfmshlUV
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqXjuUdO8f
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMA5SePHWX
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDXmXGvcIA
want one?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1W8BZfhlS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaHFI5gYvD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Cf6k4W6d
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogWAN2ADPO
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadtyYOwgS9
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZAV0F3ll
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmbFytA7NS
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD3VEtjX0X
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXDSjaxO91
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLX70acWgd
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MNVa0bNRY
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLJujYHmMl

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui9Df8VDyV
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY0hu4Rv3x
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f9sirOpDI
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nX5BQ3PzF
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpOaJnvJZo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXdOSIjNkm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QZHHzg71B
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa9UPLNjt3
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk81MJaL5i
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wbs7GZch0
relief, it was Walters.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrTeOKDs7T
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDKuMCS0R3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ng3j1dBH9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRqyW1Ninw
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdAwyqQkoE
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lGSJCQexC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZaIWEKXym
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyaGCedzqd
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyTZPkml7V
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn23ERVUIi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh92wV0frX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxreEGNDzUV
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0WLJdiUNh
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIvTakyIr3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmWZTTV9Vl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShavQq19oQ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa3jKfCtuM
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiIUfmglmH
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJSNTLvuP5
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8IWfbNJq5
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnsUfENiO4
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jj4pEeO3p
Lion?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmdDcsdbZM

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK6YzWAeU3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTZu1FJA8t
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJztLy6C25D
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt1l4nhNBo
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZKpQR8xZ
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM23SPmxqj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LM3UXuaJa
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTdmbItMVu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXu2tcEB3g
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0H9McsMcz
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAs2qdkNaB
squeeze her throat for being late. He turned to the person who stood on the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52B2rNNrq7
