Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5m2IlamOV

She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoKm0k7ZcC

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDporhsCx5

Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtEJWWVC5G

Alex didn't say anything because within a few seconds, he found himself parked in front of the gate of the main college building. Many students were entering the premises, especially those coming from the hostels across the street.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYeX7hNdPs

Carly nodded her head, got hold of the straps of her backpack on her laps, and opened the door. She stepped out, swung the bag round her shoulder and closed the door behind her.

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cpHxJKTi8

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt3r1C2A21

"Tiff-?" Angel didn't get to finish her name as Tiffany already had her arms around Angel's waist. With all her energy, she lifted Angel off the floor. Angel couldn't help but scream and laugh in delight at the same time.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wvuysu9VM

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben. They actually attended the same university and apparently found themselves working for the same editing company. A smile appeared across his long face as he approached Angel and Tiffany.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRQs4SLLF

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQ2eNn4m0
Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother. His shiny brown hair was also smartly combed, so it was difficult not to call him so.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdisMrGbPiq

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzN1NIcTIB

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLKrDGhRmm

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozrlFqbhLQ

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3AHtIOffB

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the  complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRfg3hFOkI

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcssG6TZGaA

Angel went on to stare out the window, looking at the buildings along the road. She was deep in thought, thinking of her friends and the editing firm.

Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv5SKkqrCo
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDepGaPLt2

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh95WsSz0O7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsRTOrxDNC

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmnnSDcxz
Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUClWAlhBh4

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH90H4UVJJ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdej1Lr9Nn
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXykbsn3N3
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tTZDQYmCc

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB555IZ5wAd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnWjAzO3MQ
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWoEdQuhKZ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ8wA5lx5O
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5OkybWU6p
The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3MREg2amj

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHV8TThXu8
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKGpemUmll
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf121MNe8b
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjuBu6UJiS

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM5IYozK7i
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18arOIToar
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtOWgrCsXQ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU0DrfYiSY
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RnbeG9QX

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtYiFitH1d
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpC2HktEUl
"Let's go, Leo," Angel told him as she quickly rushed out of the car.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ0OyPdk1l
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejCQQvxOjS
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajwZ75Lorg
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UVTl2Fuk9
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpR3WdZNI5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUzG1xA7V
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsBtchFzH7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjVh8k52kp
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0i6Oj97ho
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7vbzHKgbf
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFi9ZOmiRc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiQHdavpmx
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Xl1UeXZG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdAWG5CFQ3
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUyTKEXzx5
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ7vVcQ8lw
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ivowtE3p6
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxpjq3ZMr
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtNHFDic0Z
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEtK084hEV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nOfjQ6JW7
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmQxVWXmnQ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBoyPsQs9h
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYPkqsiV8O
Leo turned to look at Angel who soon straightened up. The line had moved a little and the two had to move along with it.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO8hOS6wY5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RUaET9Rg9
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMRL2EDb9s

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JXAX7drBF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XUMeozZ7
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t8R9xjuao
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnt04v1W1T
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nvwBPpfnI
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78sjm6oVIc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyNThvzRaO
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERefvdb4Cj
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJVyA6I6HI
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5CCtJDiIe
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQyOeXnAHz
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWPYkv4dN4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYFsb94hII
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWNjPeqYHF
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EgBNdVnW6
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqe3tjBzJG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjiPirLBSv
"Morning. What can I get you today?" the young cashier asked.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2tuR0NFl
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5KvW94oHV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaDd4xkDCv
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVqMvKLNdp
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPabb3QLna1
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45R2ytEv1l
Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you asking me? I don't know."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsqpnJL6cL
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv95VJEhLEK
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3R4ieucu
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhsDgtJssZ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrg4M0IEtu
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZj212ioMZ
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GjhznPT9e
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e2M9uto9d
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hsATVRv5h
"Why did you only order four?" he asked.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtoQ41ybsN
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcsKITa4uw
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRJC8VIxiX
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eV0uZNcsP
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCDAsPpmhd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKXqjqj6Xk
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IEBCCPqtV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp9VXauszr
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3zYxI2KRA
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ARpIlISH4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ea8DYVFhi
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cX9TUPvfu

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVoJriZt0n
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbsuDK4es

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QzZmmW3qJ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgb7k2SKez

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem6xpWWJBk
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHhLmUICmv
Angel knew what Leo meant. She bit her lower lip to keep her mouth shut to avoid saying anything stupid in public.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrikckptYMt
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVJAsnfy4P
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4zAkhh8jm
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxFVuKfFTq
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnYLwiqNED
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhTPELDOb
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwlsImPhio

"Leo?" Kim looked just as shocked to see him. She turned to look at Angel beside him. "Angel?" She chuckled a little to hide her shock. "Hi. What are you two doing here?"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oCZHddAHG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunfM8kWvBj
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSOWB7dwHl
"We came to buy some croissants," Angel answered quickly, holding up the bag. "Mr. McDonell asked if we could get him some."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU99ct3yDX
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVU8kLnJ6
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqDa4a0jn6

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FxZ4nJbmF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Iu2bsBn7c
"You should definitely get something here," Angel advised as she stepped out of the café to stand alongside Kim. "They make yummy pastries and delicious coffee."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQF2osmXi5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7iwJyrAx1
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ106BHibhB9

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ91Deyvk7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZDfpyC37W
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHVAjg9tTT
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgMG1XH59z
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIgUnfiK7h
"We better take these while they are still hot," Angel said, quickly turning to Kim. "He's expecting an old friend soon and these croissants have to be there before then."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzILq9l2uC2
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbv5uZqQIJ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgdtgRMzLZ

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq77V29NEe
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxdgm5FPdb

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkYDUUQIk9
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPbU821Ukz
Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1piuMfzX7
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUhCXeqkW0
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvJgGKDu0O

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa4Rxffpwc
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmCbnQ8TIp
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DnJHurQbP
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMuQ6ULMWU

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsLMKjjF29
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRWHv3LrUu
Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLf0nis9yi
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCgybnwh2Q
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpp99FgPtQ
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnPFRU4g3m
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS4zMzBZfE
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk0V2PcWuw
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjhzpJMMF5
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbeW0OuHmD

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4LR8fiXbn

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBoqKDt5pA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB34BiQegr

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolc605Cib1
