Angel was in the living 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsvv1JwFB
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9piZhJ9cUW
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hQAgG6e6
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTohwqbkaO
"How was what?" Angel asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZUGXt94CV
"Getting to know Leo?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGRl2VY9p
Angel could have sworn 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Vxd6RyVI
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMtWfAFEBY
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AZnqB770Z
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbKiQVF9AL
"Really?" Amanda looked a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS0Q6Ens6G
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZnmimcEX
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGxgWyRt5n
have offended you?" 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjgb5EfFI
"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."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw0HSnkyPw
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4uTykSAXE
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg6PY4r0Ef
"Awww, you're so 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWOTBQBWKz
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HtklzeYoA
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FyV3tyvfm
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzZVIPxpK
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacpWc31tjd
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt36bur8WV4
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2hgBr1k5o
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzjEMdO6D
Amanda gave Angel the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVpjYrdCbn
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCXGwIp3kR
to deal with writing. It suits you."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pS5jUQVJz
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcIqkRfoul
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIfdlee4CF
"What is it?" Angel asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcF25M92S4
"You seem to be one 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jzxG9U255
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoXeNN7UGs
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLMCyHN6aR
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7PhYNATK
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CFIvazBPW
"What?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPfSdBiS9
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QacGBoUXf
Leo who had just come in880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkEd2pkUEY
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj7kh8qAzm
just at the entrance of the living room.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLdTxf69yQ
"What did you just say 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHKtyZViuA
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJCiiBrqm3
the two women on the wheelchairs.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtMGCHe1lO
Amanda turned her 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbOd9vQgxd
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu55WdVW1qR
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTgNtOE8AQ
themselves."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nIZZAF4rk
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsvVWOh4wg
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkXYPwHtSH
Leo couldn't believe 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZpAvLEYxn
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJbVpvGrT
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lzk5oPDLw
"Haven't you thought 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg9XDvQUWB
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0NSdGPNRP
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2yUtf3dsd
job of her own?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLkST49q4k
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCh1rnQqaD
"You deserve better, my 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnVSjzTKlt
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOeJeKw9Dv
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxb4ZhpVJE
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA3oztjfwf
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0wps1T3I8
"What makes you so sure?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dNu0oa49f
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36uggLtmfd
"Mum won't though."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoCbCHXf3h
"Does she run the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rWOWbFMm
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp2gZV3ZNb
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAjhOp28Ii
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSqLC6Z1JI
Leo knew his grandmother880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK92BnVWQDa
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVpf1mXWDt
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBP5Txc3Gd
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZkGrXUehR
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9vm3RoRyR
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfWICGw76u
"Don't say any of this 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhM4eP7Z1k
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Lmhu4LN2
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7a91XKXR0
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxMdnrztmH
have to convince her a little more than I have to."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx2UbPjIsE
Angel gulped. It felt 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z1Pp89KYO
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnLY3jDs1F
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9cXjaOmdk
Leo made his way out of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZ4DtKqlC
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Ej2xEepy
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZC5IYkVOF
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Vkjv5zEs
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HT2OAv0b3
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ei8PtK0L
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItGwxRi6ri
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHmgoo2YAX
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.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn1G84rX1S
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZ1k3kSdA
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFq9BRSl4W
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHHz2Ijbm9
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm8lWMAhkP
"I'm talking about Kim."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYlJkkC23u
Angel didn't know if it 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnONksrpPO
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOltvBFrjIi
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXETUoHKDc
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVmfVkXaqs
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLTtFT2qt
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBofVwaVIrT
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBZ7A9mkH8
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjogZt2o7Ks
certain things?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTYFDBrExo
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91WAwMcH4k
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3h6bx2brD
Angel felt like covering880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP4tC9oUep
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8ux5RSSX
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDAkG2VI8P
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGEDtjT11x
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6L2Jm7oRv
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ptQM98xqN
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76zN7xav5Z
Angel felt her heart 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum51VhlnmJ
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYufrQxHLjO
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh6BWEgFRC
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ETknpm6v
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw51HJW4dVQ
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXw0RjbKBy
and invited her to the wedding.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnh4OHXIxv
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUA7pt3nq
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1027T1RJsf
Angel looked at Amanda 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLsJpo1UlQ
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYVO7puxPz
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BGZ23u1VC
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqoX0Q4Bc
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3TsxKTyBT
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrpY3iBVIJ
saw Leo.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ZtK55C09
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV6iWDAQGE
"Nothing, dear," said 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQFM7z7RNY
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xr18IxYwW
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUocSAC5ST
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkUaFhBJLl
"Have a nice day."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEWEVrIs80
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMEWvoLu0P
Leo nodded his head in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1yjP9d3oA
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkpXleXMR
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UDU1O2yx8
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx88Xiu98K
through the front door.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0me96pvfXL
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3sKh2jNC
"You're unbelievable," 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGijjCbMhXB
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxAEXiQPao
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ9vjz7MLM
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtNWKvINnl
"I'm sorry for that, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxauGm8RrOG
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfdElEeg4E
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKM8kzWDf
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmQ2iqMpUX
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQVpmSRbO
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbEIdoWjU1
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqiqQzNkiS
Angel slowly followed 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFNO85pOAw
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbODbN1nGUZ
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKgTxGhFXz
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFEkstpjiG
must have felt awful.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CN9PBXTiO
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJpDtjLOO
***880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA0SFLZSBI
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bK1yIYE0w
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Z8fWTuI7
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ogHLUCQ78
He880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZiu5f7NVZ
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPZHOnhkCN
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJk8fm7VPo
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9889DmTAS9
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwYqT0T9QH
Since880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQlqJnpsJF
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnJ8Mm0a9
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxCHtaGHMA
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSot740var
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BteFX0nkp
Who880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt28kGMHTi8
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAy6Nv6Vvu
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8iIj9HJ7v
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KuAuRQL7e
He880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3uMs4SsRw
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIZfu9cbeb
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPwckambgl
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvvUDvDFvd
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ4NAqh19F
"You've someone here to see you."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2yaQcVQiJ
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVKbqDetnQ
"It's Trina."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjXB8wM7r7
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R4CmRcMlP
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQv89ATYmz
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUEnlFDZOX
called off.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz6l45ybnQ
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6OochNgY
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWhu6AXzyI
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06nU8oqM2j
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ890N5ijPeJ
Trina880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKYPl2VhYJ
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HCFyvHLr
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeyuWAKzwz
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7K8jUAYhT
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQCjG1E2iX
fall out sometimes but still get back together.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkC3KRcYXy
Now880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCTwX9mNi5
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7UBCLzflk
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhemzGoJiT
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKh2nfpFi6
weren't friends.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN39CveiEY
While880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzFGLQgrBt
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3rr6fb5ro
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBYN8gdIMu
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZctK8FoaF
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bnCtNPzcn
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPd7ZIBjz4
One880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2yRUBvaM
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGwQ0AoSqW
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxrTwJ3NM0
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSLaCpzNwy
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrsYR8STvk
one.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrjcUg60lN
Not until he met Angel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt1T2X1cJz
Trina880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLn2iWE6fr
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqMoRlHlf2
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR6XzYAOwe
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq9cO3TjZg
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipM9wX4yrK
Trina880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZqJjfOLdQ
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdWfI3NaoR
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ652wc7YB1f
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVjbvuHhII
beautiful.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE59rYCTJ0
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkQkD2pX7A
"Then880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0njaB1okpi
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJEUttBs6A
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SBSpDjrcx
side to try and work things out."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGbYGTLK84
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43KFpiQWNu
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QOmiJA6ni
"Ya, me too."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0S5LgJWMC
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFaGc0YVbZ
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQAe9Kb30R
"Do you know something, Eric?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9hDxpZmGv
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzkkEvDuYj
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGc935Sbim
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9DU1etqAI
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWheGdMvdg
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lwwwRFrUK
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxBFWLq8o6
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUR1e5j8Ws
eyes with a corky smile on his face.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbxkpsi6KZ
"Please,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lRjDEf9ny
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32jjAuFser
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v7coQt85q
ask him?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFuiyLvUAS
Trina880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtytMvVXf3y
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1V1NhNsQ6
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGdrk2J73W
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ydGbpZHwK
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDyBWdaDTZ
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoFtzg2Afv
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG5s68C3KX
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQoXMQxLve
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5xlTt5b2C
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglAiypsAqM
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPPLAi5laY
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupqm49DA3Q
to say next.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7q1RWI4UA
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWJCXxHtNj
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWBndPSMX
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2uNKE8Xcz
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hBGKAsb0G
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt8dehBLkA
"She's880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4X2n62HU1
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5OZ31peq
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZqOwtel8j
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGZRhTLIBN
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7t4mCvWGs
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02b8nKDvKC
anymore.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJAdvqI1zO
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAosN7XRJX
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE56ABsb7M
Trina880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTzSJg1OyI
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlBFR0Oqbf
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bqr6Uo4lM
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiSHfV6vk7
massage him.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IEbW5bDjZ
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsEY7ap3Ys
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQ2nctZJO
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS77JqG7mM3
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHRa3I1XGq
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovQFq7HaCE
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUKw3DKaH
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAWhNoI3BJ
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLTFpTPRkZ
He880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bSsseJ3bT
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5eUkTXkgl
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkP5pgR4g
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6duj8fWmsB
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIIGMWotnC
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WfNXTgzgW
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMfhdCJNqZ
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBqxe5Pk0I
"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."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkoEG45gyz
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Vpj2OI77
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQCuBrMGo
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoB2eAMhRi
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZMwZVjWSz
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNqegUgBeX
"Oh,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNtpH15FJa
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQjom7dtFr
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKV90AmZLY
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfK5vgVnKa
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2EibudCf
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllNqpO49uq
Trina880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUntXrEF7H
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAZTQsCaN2
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZQ5syrluG
Leo880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotFV4HwQWh
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4bzIsnr0c
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8alMEiB5Rf
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSv3158QVO
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMmj9slJHE
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mi4JAuKgn
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4cMoWO4FU
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eXUcmppbe
"I was just leaving," said Trina.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkEXCMzg17
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS7hSC0iKE
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSTmVhNKyl
With880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwCc95p86
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvV2G5c8Q
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHYufdZR7E
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmwMniQ98E
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHpStcO4VG
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTHndN6Fw
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlPEPx0804
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGuy9AXrb
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu19gpb5eyF
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vJYHiLTf
"Well, you would someday."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuYZ93BF9h
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ZTnopN8N
"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?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlR3BzmNf
"That would be fine by me."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiw4uXWIqk
"Oh,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k7yVxOXcq
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wxQUdtA90
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR35nhwcCm
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFSU57uekj
you broke things off with her."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEu5ZHMT3u
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9WyTp6ww2
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjTAPSz7sv
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AlRm6Lt4y
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxvINIbAha
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5DAR4Uspb
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGT5sLQOnM
Leo880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4jsY5tmg6
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgstWMuD1G2
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx66I7TP6lZ
her.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcSDM07Anp
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvZeJkJ5PU
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoAvbaMDyy
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxWqUvdWXH
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkcyEbfR6y
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9czUmIEAo
thinking about Angel just now."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGVDqW3Qe
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvWOsipnsC
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6hZBDjK5E
Leo880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxZODT1A2o
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4stSZHups
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZTIdLOuAT
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxx87T5xN
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzqPxGyVjh
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5tzl4KQIL
"Because,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENcZrfgq3Z
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw323MO4UCC
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyWDOX2lhi
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpjSgSZmJL
in a sense of emergency to release it."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGvfXJtWhJ
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VgdORGCiH
"Of880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81MrGdLnkp
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNopb5g25H
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74g5HVg7QV
darling, Angel."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZn6bEBJqE
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9gc5oeZfX
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1jV4yV7uN
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FQazGmeI7
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcT6z18D7W
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6QMAj19i8
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."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZqk3IQMec
"Grandma880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG6dupVqOT
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQhXWeyo9Y
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQnWOtzWwc
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKaiuIOMZz
Leo880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWrUumTOq
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB7p2JhzwP
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgg2ugghHT
word to anyone.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocw5K2XVEW
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo0oNv3wmb
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLun3zCPXbC
"Yep,880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlppe5YInT2
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh8hC5b5n6
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXfsrKSAMM
"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.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgylYo4w04
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwBSpPxJ0M
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw4l4TlpeV
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSvtOCW7kx
Eric880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUxzjvafB
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK9Y3BiMdV
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o3bUNKPpj
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8nGdHMkM
Leo880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc287UBwxh
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8G2reKwUH
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQtJdnfjk
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHgi8sUzwu
He880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCW9p8SYnH
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEpQcCyIrS
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJip2e7aqPt
desk that he had to look at today.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MGYy9liuK
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ZcZ0S1gk
Leo880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmLTlYlpkC
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi7Rybx9v0
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg95l2yb9BK
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
