Angel was in the living 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXUI3IExyN
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX2E688ZcN
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTWpxQxLWo
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn544BjUa1
"How was what?" Angel asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg7po9eA45
"Getting to know Leo?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDepRoBJpx
Angel could have sworn 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH3iGfm5zb
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFjRrpFtIR
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFbTnKHYKX
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuOlPEwQi2
"Really?" Amanda looked a817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdbFAd7DHH
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4af03OKHHU
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSScrcW6h
have offended you?" 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaESaphGzP
"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."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmU5fzvMfZ
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWq8e4jnUf
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmISl8cXvo
"Awww, you're so 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanHT9djanF
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9heZjk0Yb
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRZJxdJ5pn
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqCf6HPDNO
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxMHo1QaCp
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C15qs5qx1
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl88IuhJH8a
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxu3m5eCT4
Amanda gave Angel the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HAXYZyExl
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LiNypdiwL
to deal with writing. It suits you."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWo5pWoZTV
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlUSlNo55i
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t7OwNaTar
"What is it?" Angel asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke5aBZOPGD
"You seem to be one 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURMCVkp3eV
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDalAbS0my
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet9PiPPnGb
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzxEPUihfZ
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXUe6fEXoO
"What?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYh9qaMEas
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplyaNwGvBw
Leo who had just come in817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY2s69rSbP
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGo3lmevvl
just at the entrance of the living room.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgzK15F09Z
"What did you just say 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6L9DjuKG6
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdlnvMX3Vj
the two women on the wheelchairs.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXQ2dKpvs
Amanda turned her 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzOm4sX8cP
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneTmwMKf8M
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPC0yTXEtv
themselves."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4HJRvRvfD
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtJCAMUYzO
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuELK0fXo0
Leo couldn't believe 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxGOOWu25
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZ8Kmx2Uw
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp5nhtPN2f
"Haven't you thought 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAslRSgpgNs
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv0oYdzF4x
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSK3Aq14ES
job of her own?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGH6cRkM3t
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQzCXSklL5
"You deserve better, my 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCUbuevVBt
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a3nuhxh5c
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpT52mMLaU
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVQt60DeOQ
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cM8rXvFH0
"What makes you so sure?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ577YDRT85D
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY5iUXEVwE
"Mum won't though."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7v11DpIul
"Does she run the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PEizBcxSE
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj7pqJ21te
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EHSpvnyGH
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mkyXAaEFF
Leo knew his grandmother817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D2wyMjSEn
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8bxf7zCE6
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzEnF7qkeb
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PxTfXAMZB
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxYfqN9bha
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQKEpJQv8f
"Don't say any of this 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeASDpQgYU
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VV37FubvN
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zpD1xpMy
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5K0UPY8d
have to convince her a little more than I have to."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkH1OLM7oX
Angel gulped. It felt 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxF0oHdytr
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTDQCuQWQe
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto9xgNCLWK
Leo made his way out of 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEN9Fgte9p
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElhpVnW1My
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVr3YJcnAy
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iimofI1MI
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsdeDjvatH
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7rgylYodE
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Sn6RXr9L
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNhFaUMatO
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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9scBrF94yq
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITTA0de8mD
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv06Y9l0h61
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVLz6tEfCw
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYmkNraIz
"I'm talking about Kim."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzNQsApLFu
Angel didn't know if it 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLLLj14JE3
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63mPKP7Y0F
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bi720sJzu
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs0phwkwoO
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZefQnaiqt
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbEXQSbI7t
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxaJsuUMOK
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV6HEhzX18
certain things?817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77h5VyriDz
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33yeceFCwB
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv0VsafkvW
Angel felt like covering817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiuFJIVMZi
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetr4uS9tnt
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAmwxFE8N5
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPYgeZed4x
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9HmxrH1Rw
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIXWlbH2O4
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZCL7w6dYk
Angel felt her heart 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGRjzB1Ko8
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEo3Mapu4V
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr8IJCY4Kx
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR01jCvERLO
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfejDl6tyDe
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrXLcUdMlj
and invited her to the wedding.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghw7UM0pSQ
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mCcGXwBlD
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0jLMCnrdJ
Angel looked at Amanda 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrueSN0rhEH
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5Dn8vrvI
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTbWrUMPKE
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SdoZq8m0Q
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX04x2KWcEY
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOdH69AQ46
saw Leo.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBTDFlYpfv
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkAU6IhTRz
"Nothing, dear," said 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgSqOICOaK
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUm0qJ8zTA
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYULmNuGI4S
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ1cyTN1aY
"Have a nice day."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eZBuHRJIS
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXw1rrKrgx
Leo nodded his head in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTsoUMe9f8
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR5CjQE7yw
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7S00kYOX9
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZiFuxWJwa
through the front door.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwamzaFFcya
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImovJHzjLn
"You're unbelievable," 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzST3Wxbhlk
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDX9i7AyGJ
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpjjsgAIY
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XpkALqV6B
"I'm sorry for that, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZgTXcj7P4
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBxJlPRCwq
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaTpYiVMZu
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjXIG7LL0D
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwIOdnCKMn
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdAkm4OAuL
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpoFafjGFZ
Angel slowly followed 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Easov8vyq
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm90BZPzE2
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMr0B2MUWk
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF19bcw85su
must have felt awful.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGOm1fHRqB
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQLCFiwW8E
***817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ8ZjzxFMJ
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qWL4hl2Wk
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR9TpuG9ba
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6PRUXq3mp
He817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SBufCXQ3
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GxPhHRAub
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5erGCyfs5
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthyMn1ntTQ
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKzsbBV7dc
Since817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmsJJGtT3J
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMkI0QdbE6
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfArRLApPP
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBUKFM2DEb
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI4O7Lc31Y
Who817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSaQL97KYM
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡose662YvH3
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqgbQxvB0b
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lalWnHU3P
He817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuy9B4fv5W
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEh5ge9oxi
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8vtFH7EPD
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqlB5MZJPo
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTulbs7EuGM
"You've someone here to see you."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgqgEna4Ag
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR2iAc19eb
"It's Trina."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZQKW2uv1e
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslqXPis7ZM
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Qj2ejt3b
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPosNrnEMOX
called off.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkGPDA2MVQ
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTyR8e5zQ4
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFuUd2USlN
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPPKd7XEfx
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubkma1f5Zs
Trina817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykAN4kKP07
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP0oMU8BaB
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1NxruAGFw
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkREYPovPr
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWufcVkCC0p
fall out sometimes but still get back together.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvIKl2HYCF
Now817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqsuMjKxKd
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFJZ1JgpBZ
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDqO0T3qQr
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4gDquCjqb
weren't friends.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuezx8NxFPq
While817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nqzqiR2Ii
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFDoxGUon
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUbFXKNo1
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Cs7VHsrV
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk1NKEewSU
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOvyMzEBm9
One817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBNycbcOw3
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm12UgUJYU0
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1gQXfSZLw
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEieu1rDQ4
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfQ2clXwSZ
one.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawa1LJdiz1
Not until he met Angel.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOurQ3TJ0s
Trina817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDv94vY0rb
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAhN8pl1s7
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2gvNdEDp5
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWje50IbMdf
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseHdxCdIwH
Trina817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjGHWgVQK1
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyInXfwECrX
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7GyQm05zV
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuopGdul6TY
beautiful.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HyOfPILFr
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGPSt7Qr5y
"Then817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjm6QvqCfq
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXasQWOpOe
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSqixrqvt5
side to try and work things out."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5xqAR5Xvp
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93BzBz4C4f
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsO4eX8Azi
"Ya, me too."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otq2yvAKv
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqX8qldlpV
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkt2NIgmsX
"Do you know something, Eric?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm46PNRqMkQ
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb8HHuYglQ
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELkxSDWC6u
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgR5Fakwih
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvCSgH7YbX
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtV0SPtrzA
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35EwPPZvhn
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmrmsH47gJ
eyes with a corky smile on his face.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9yFpKyCwC
"Please,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HevW3K61N
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC18WRfnG1
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLCIHkhnns
ask him?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuv7fdRlIn
Trina817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cA833D0y4
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFG1kLTDG
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mUSGo9t5m
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Txcn8KOe6
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uLD9TYYDL
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWLbaJTaX1
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhh9rVf89M
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXGPKFTjD
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ZZc0FBig
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ePgdH50r
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0mXatm550
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC14P1B7jH6
to say next.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAeyo5Vpkm
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4IbGf4yU
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9gq6WCwru
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArCENcaa1
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD34FUQJNkG
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUtx403knu
"She's817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW9FuQJvRr
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wBqStmBNh
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24QGwKkR16
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBwkLjfqTZ
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsWbHRdCJG
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBzJCvpbt9
anymore.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGwSJdQPUJ
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNg7IZ69pS
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzvxkVZrc1
Trina817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGsvBQcLav
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Qp5cOh5o
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKDkzYiAf8
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYX0hvJEZK
massage him.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNiF3ymplQ
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGh8pohGOi
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38gGCjmnoi
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPVE6LbgPb
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlbzA7ydUi
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0hJhvlfgi
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX56GfPTJV
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOq1RY871V
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb0nF8bTK5
He817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjINNOoG2J
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdD3VUACny
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4yIzRqZbf
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gquI5HOQr
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9LRrEB8t7
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuo6MpFbjB
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVqlzWLbpp
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurWtiUbw0F
"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."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSy3lPyRr7
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEytN4aEcpL
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO9TSeQ0I0
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzosmIrfrTR
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50x0KWPSVx
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2JIycY23S
"Oh,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR22BbLw3h3
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkBvI6OZRI
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0FZjnyx3A
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR1EoMleuw
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7GWHZpyIW
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuZmVt8FK6
Trina817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSqNFZG1W
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVbuDf7LHq
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLnP9mtLmq
Leo817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSby5QhdBR0
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBaFSPB47n
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwykodulMoM
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ0ylwIw43
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZloz0UZGKW
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAUbNGwdMF
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmgXnehvch
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBjzG2be2p
"I was just leaving," said Trina.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1HnGUkeCg
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUOF6D6nB5
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN4JyzaOHR
With817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAdlFUUYFD
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYTv4eEGv7
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOrhRKxDv0
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcLPb4YBnu
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3SiY6j0Se
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xl2aBM3K
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUKXEISf7g
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNP7kiDQ6e
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQMKpgu3C
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEacB9iQtBS
"Well, you would someday."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopInRYsYoX
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zfrb9GPty
"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?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6FhWHOXDZ
"That would be fine by me."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4dP8p2vcg
"Oh,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsOqC6zf8W
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPOLDfwkyI
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJGgod1qv8
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KAs30ZCTM
you broke things off with her."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZBwCl2JEe
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQniRiB8BJ
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOmtP7HrFK
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hwp7pyl4s
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykKZG2BjiF
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1s0yhzGpX
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8OtQ5YLQv
Leo817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEWFr1pRER
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrDBPeuqes
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl2G2c14j4
her.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9wvucU1W
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1NjqtTJQc
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWsVVfIbOk
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MY4aJkvMV
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwMSssbtMB
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0qVzVD7YD
thinking about Angel just now."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJ01UV7FI
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSVQypmnt2
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIVbLNC2TO
Leo817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecvZRYPHfe
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IlWVBWm05
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzspUYZKLVm
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oJLoYeXRo
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWuHad6HIW
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJ3ehs2nM
"Because,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEKW37sK15
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioYXolp8S8
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoBEhrKgjU
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95kP0mlctX
in a sense of emergency to release it."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEl6D46tl5
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BdwLed6Q
"Of817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGGU5AEyVY
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lNp1IS9Lo
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MGDyhzg4r
darling, Angel."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44CX9BZXHu
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSViBWnLMu
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqULa0KY9Af
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6D2TMBn6u
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFAj2oaWg9
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOcRYF9Ek8
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."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKg2z4KzDZ
"Grandma817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXIL6554i
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhBjX8v5b0
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO44VeoGINm
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0BDbiEzgo
Leo817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaG10VBGjO
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBtLUBQt37
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL9YsAvLrL
word to anyone.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl3slxZ9Uw
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBnn0Agj3P
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNLv5faZx5
"Yep,817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvOEwZ4Tsr
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi4bUMhfxB
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8YFZdbpvr
"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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSYmUJMJrA
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TkCJIS6Zt
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4grRKEsZs
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspZZQjanmZ
Eric817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WexCaSsJo
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypwPkeer03
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0f5XPNgYG
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp86HI1vLN4
Leo817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKZQizuwGG
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFfvAfZdNG
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcf3BLkyjj
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmxsBd1YKL
He817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDBk3hL1QS
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJaBdzbjKi
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliv307PbXB
desk that he had to look at today.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJvsVMOwf2
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Noh8jKDu5
Leo817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3h2PNT9b
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLLXz0E9ZH
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffO9oBKJvj
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
