“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IDA99Z0HH
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1AdAXoc9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C962IpoUe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn9SDTy8qi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl86pCQgA7
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qHc6oenng

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LvhOuhmav
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjJ3YBPYu6
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZ8xhBGQ6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttvWRXXGdx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJfBSGvDDI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSin4YzFdz
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowPnYxUid3
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ccPA0FR1
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Dgg6EABU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9zBiRevpj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xi7BGuwm6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRsau4E7yf
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hkCDvXPLt
want to say it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpRp4CsOS5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPvh20JHkz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDmvcPPBm8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4aifH1VZg
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk97KpKSS7F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQLnqNo3Bi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzDP6WY3sD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqu9u5FKcU
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O0YLUL3te
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqR6jhGI3D
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeZNtIJ901
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk2zTICloi
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1aDgKCn31
because that’s just how she is.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHD7xPwQz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HnPp2brrP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOINQFKg1e7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfNvAM3LYy
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVsu6TzpY2
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevLui1eSXp
your fun.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6du5nFBisz

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsunlCtvDi
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM54Q3SkPK
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtLA6VZWaj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSdXp9qtth
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQWoUW3P9X
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zDBchTupL
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLhmOPYZr
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ8y0TZlzn
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS7Cfw9Ux7
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wH3G9nr9i

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KAJKMULAe

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq6qpYRvtA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mwH37i0GJ
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WWphdpJ9f

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxsz6gtKsq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjflL5auMxv
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZqFYHuWas
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7PjLIK8i1
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIQ3ZATc9g
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLVdurETKH
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq6FO7wce2
that they should join Angel and the others.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk4bgnGQsH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLQom8Eviq

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALiJsdAKuR
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcV5J2UOjo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCny5eKxF6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlcUEmaU1W
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5yJV1hwb
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xPHbgx39
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR45XxrxuAj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZALi1fxdo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BezcvIRii

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo46GxcTnrj

Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYi3SPqtfg
their sight.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrOpM3w3qP

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0TCLh3Zm
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoSfHSDNcT
they aren’t at their table.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjRdsn9du
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck1ebzSsPQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsHKtaeywU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhGqqnjk0g
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXg9JZEafR
the counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJTTy4tfag

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvvjncQdaT
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9T6jMnJXb
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ktycfkbjc
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMKFDVlhHg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcSVqdMRsg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EcaYajsPn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidiJ97z4x1
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2klEnC0KI6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiuQZANUdq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaOEa77FxB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G9P0OXkUz
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ9XnohTYR
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiQEP21qg
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2zPySkoLN
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFXc1aTpn1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAcu5jpYBl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEWZQ2fpTr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5a7tJOcM8
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vtFSxHJ1U
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVewA3gLzh
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSTm6PcBoS
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzytmf9P9Wf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucxarnBeTZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbY6ZvnLkV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGZGLXIAnt
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWnabRCJC5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHf8O8BCW3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lb4kPe942
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGAHfQa0F
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgRe442Tz
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHkdq3cK95
would speak first.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aqSFbVflh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP02qr6swa6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw42lvi9Mp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwPntWFFXV
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7OXdHoeek
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PBouh0FH3

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t1xg89o57
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gOT6PAZH8
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyirLJHmlt
he gets here. I really need to step out.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4LxCkaUY5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ToCG4dlh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRGTTUHINd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ifCedf9Lz
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv3exgMyaJ
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmgEBfWUME
it was hopeless to do so.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x9bsvqTDw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCaMeQu6ar
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA7vKbgrbI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLTtWl7YdN
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11kYoHRpzZ
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLItbtbjpib
Walters calls.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU1JYAhoNN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpfAmWANcH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjoF7vKO7m
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUajFijpqgS
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iShPaN1DA
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ExmeeoJf
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECAOLzWfi
minute.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XwLIOCBCR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcX4EwPr0R
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy09hZ7u0ld
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOq2O7Y1a
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc93nAUzt0U
door.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFMjhwmrU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8N3Q8IjuP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYLYE6NLc6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nWiMcRmk2
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mJAFNTkNV
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM26ZtPUFIq
any moment.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiifwlihvEo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJJGNKUUfF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxsDnFJ4fR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP7rllLU14
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHTWJe8WTr
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXkyGYdkLJ
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPWQK8Dv2g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCk95F1dk2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsFKIBIYKz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TVYiC9VEY
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVppKpm4OrQ
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gawADEVdm
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP7tEprjlr
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf21G4xXhL
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYjP8KCEGk

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpBFV8QbM
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEFFIAGs67
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNn165phvt
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlJltcdYSQ

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGz4AURS2Z
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TqgPqL4Z

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KTaPiy0pY
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GzicLAYiZ
Eric and shook her head.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxtWtQ77D

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXHuc6wrJZ
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EeS2WnpCm

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV9dqxTvdw
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb6eFlOgBr

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtt3r2d07V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqQccCfUq2
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGho5FEwcTw
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnFe3Tsuna
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP2FnHEuQg

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HIg7oD9ik

they all burst into laughter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUhpp54IPs

shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsWwYi1ri7

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YQsg5XPiL
All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRcO6XYGn6
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYrlLtks4C
out his hand to get a nacho.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yb1avlxEO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzmhJT3DWt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNmKbXqU4U
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSWCUDnvf
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHojoJyk9F4
afterwards.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPMR3hLY6R

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL4MO2dqcV
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNH9aYtGzC
the future.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WlyhMt3VP

“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJznJnezZdh
later, when he’s older.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HiCLbpG7Y

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSnFvwC57w
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XwNbFg2Fx

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzUMHihbIW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPaAEXMIij
Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmvPkPloa4
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxSZfRhIgi
the statement.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LS9oCUNwR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCYH04ACnt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkhezDEiwJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EyQ239DnC
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdJs8AUZ79
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMeG2nnLZT
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqBHRuY7pB
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUCn5llTk4
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe03fHbEolS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M3Jvs69u5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJcmYrUqE7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZsOLTQgIV
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3LioeHNfc
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmFRPKn9GP
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuPT3vD9hU
elsewhere. What should she do?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKW1Nyr6LD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYVtFD9mwA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJWDXiMIv5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM05pBU0MX
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItiGnPsr4S
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB849N26vdW

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBmhLCK06K

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyOazTtt8c
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qX0ECG80U
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgbZh0BhJF
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkiirN5LVS

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mwAY3nT5Z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5elLIkXNX
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlQ4z0HK32
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BN5aZKdSs
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx4uaATGWc
necessary.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uhKrcyOBi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3lwZCLH8B
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO1gOjwEie
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr7Z7H8Avq
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzmxwFtDLP
know.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHlHaXWxtv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrjp8ARhj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonOUDjpg9c
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Ut2tTNbQ
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRKNbbhSog
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggWOKP7PC4

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqSbydqvKn

Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCTGY91bVD

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmfNCYde3f
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3QtusXR1D
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nftc81vBU
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfcyYjTejF
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoEHMwQblA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkLJJu1JMa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkmTvplWea
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAePqR2JeRs
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmRLCgXvwZ
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNx3IFz1as
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlioEDWl5Xv
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhAhbkgDsT
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfvOBwzpT6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2hUPWiTr3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAXXFwtiMi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpdg0cbQl5
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjcWwnDDtw
us.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5NFoDBNXz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJy3JK8OIp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVsaw1oh2h
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A5GpFuULB
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr8YShkE3n
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MAhLEqgkx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1PE2NFJFr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLyesVlWFb
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4zxQ32lFJ
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6hcrQzN0V

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QT4ieDrFd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJf6kWXhSD
Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1KWGrjXjS
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIw8IxHLmZ
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye3CnL6fxo
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpFluvLFHJ
counter for a drink.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEtiOK3jJw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb9YupjNIb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6a47IeVcE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXjRVaJZW7
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZyklcGZAM
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KG8TDjr7
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkRUHeZM44
has.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjTwYjVPbn

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI04w1GBYsv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrGCYxO1l1
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7imf7T0VPQ
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJNpwnPR4g

“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvAo7o4Dy6
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DeY65A00q
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIibwInSGL

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RFASE7wfT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgRCws3MSG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzFKof0Ty1
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwghWdcZQNx
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9ScCmWFk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7NF3xQjf4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwY37ob3L6

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JZMUe8uel
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqxhLZOncX
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVS0q84YRs
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13DtUNTzT1

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYpYP1LM2A
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2m9fannFX
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GEuKM7A6J
just as jealous as I am,” she said.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CX6xbVNya

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnbx0LtqdA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep0HJ5XISm
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CS66si0tu
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcGLliEmuO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLkWuBSLy4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G3jZetW6N
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpdMStTsr7
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbHjBJfRDd
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6cuTI4leF

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7J69Ea5Pv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdW7Eaz55O
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83d7RtadtW
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVr6lGLBVT
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidOACjNjuc
go of him that easily.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OqDqyHlGY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYecSo6nua
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQ0lKHCOP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznVq6EYllq
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMmn5GEgcT
was going.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TABTnTcw2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGmQW6Gkz9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMSJKZnk1V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwRH1mLx94
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF04qpQ2Yt
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao0Xqgxef6
isn’t going to do you any good.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkp0Ub6y7Y

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S72ImxEIM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiJCWFKj1d
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0jRneCRr
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1HksN5BR

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJhL53iw5

“Okay, after tonight, I’ll try and let go of Leo,” said Kim.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoa40rYlo4

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkPyauAJ9f
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLSXnpWbRF
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC7hI7vNJS
your promise after you see this lover of his.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtimiPoqRw

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMGluXaDOJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMDLYa94ww
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHcGivJ3xb
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0PVk3hKdD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3mKanifCV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS1kdhFuqb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcIYibmgab

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zNyOHm7NI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dR4VgImJs
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0JZwZa2sY
us some drinks.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPaFsp025f

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySrLxp339P
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXyBp0c9pt
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c97vtWMNS
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21NaZAMbe
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkPU9N8Ao1

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrtw9Hmhfw
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjXMt2DFLu
she didn’t even give them a second thought.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ihp3hEmFG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWsxE1523g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFpkgXDTJ2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbDnuEQwEB
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7gH5scepF
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6iXkYxDxB
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQWA4G1ZP
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo24R8HNPJh
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLinPbt6m1

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbQd2gn3O4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTk3iHEd2V
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DmGuQi1JR
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFXiNhieFa
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbO3eSqzfN
she wasn’t too careful.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizJPKQjDW7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NTWqBqp99
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuLVsXyjsN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC92BL1d9e3
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg6XghBO2J
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL3GWAFWxJ
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtOgQyFzS
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaxa0ycq0M
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKREsA1jMR

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX2SZ6VK0s
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEG4ZWYFE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVLHKDVVRT
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43bn5hcp4S
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUV7ule0kO

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEYb9j6JAZ
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85OEqAHcff
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXkWV2YVnr
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEoE3bsz3W

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOl8P7mwzl
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyebiB4eMJ

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgV2sPRyeb

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wzQTnkmTn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ52b08FB3
Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3chbKL5q2h
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO44ASI8vlo
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBKS5UGDFy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVGgtK2BvD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizyAHU9M5z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFXZ8hEdfe
"So, Angel, do you take any alcohol?” Marco asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwixJB5scCk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7adG1CKq8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcRfHdgtKK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bhYVhQVTG
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkVtJZhSz7

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYNxhFHpcq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMqxdqqsCE
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf9EcAXdaU
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pA4mSoCgy

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pxd0P42sc

are considered classy.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4s0K2Tc0Z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FahaeCHis

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrvB3TQ7jZ
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJsvV4ratv
they drink,” said Eric.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxNE4tHv6u
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox75nigIGF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbVrd0Cjz

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFUxo12MKn
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeJfSYTz96

Marco.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlRbcWwhvG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbopCmBNKf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLC94eLmpl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhmWRfXhXe
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrYpr7sP8l
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2kQXb3mw1

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7dgSgDjev
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZGpYNgZCK
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczEhpB3t1
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky8bZfEEE3
sincere.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuBRNrQDOj

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMWzxB3EY3

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0jD9RgHs
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJckCmYHyrn
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStXKVfaEf0
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXGTv9Uh3h
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kzyu490lh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOSFPJRJvl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjuTT36S12
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVrrxFXllo
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzQsWc5fNN
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcViSga3TAX
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcC3ryPYg0

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lbMsWWKRX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZULhP3bdfn
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM4OCzQmkD
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVawgVcNxGO
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTnlHDCWqr
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeGiSTK6DG
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AGlZPiB9I
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdsIyi7gF5
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vJ5heVnSt

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSlnrcQGbI
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO7q31GOg6
really needed to take a breather.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VdlKL0plX

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC49UvDb4i
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD37QK25RQV
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhgJnTx3bE
though she had woken up from a bad dream.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZMRaqCNU1

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmtT56m5BI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfp2KLizxt
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ddL77mDc
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzW0LcMas
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkizbIgC57

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDCT8XKBZ7
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam1b1JkPB6
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR013BzZa7
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLAxe3Vx0l
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvRmVWoklX
herself.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFCGzbFSEg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1GoaOABy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCkUGpHb8I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU2JlVTtH5
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwZJFUCktw
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxwztaMsEL
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFohNc4S6
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3gv39TeDF
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9TO09ApC4
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRolJNcnsD
notice her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9f34Pwygo

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5BRxHuobr
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZQojnwHoG
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhD9UqqI6a

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsZepsLfkv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM7SP96uwC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBJ3huUap
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zj7RXOlhE
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKPsvk2y7E
surprise.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0uMxYnhGl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDwPnDCns5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWT3KFCCj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwpANCqiL

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiCvQIgLr2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94bTg7xptq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkVgMXm8qP
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPFWEYeR3e
“At the candy store.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiUOuvuxGh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfwLsHiK5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZpRIHXHF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLUrTUp6q

bumped into that moving shelf.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDcbos23o7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Qab0H9TM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvorWCTJEzp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4LB5u8Z8
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ423usWkkVQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2YHDlZXH8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kBvxwV4xL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3iEjXsDPr
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h4WeGNppZ
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRYFFfecy2
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT04aAGjEd
forever.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1PcWgQS4O

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsKfInIuhJ
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNaXLJN8k
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXlSsJiZM
their conversation ended here.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXJaNqNnC2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZrciHjWuB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpxoUrmfGD

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjq0Phn3i2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqO0mPrlnk
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOECtxu2JWO
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c7eM5VA40
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YAyJe00sf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGbrhHSEBR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ap55eB6zZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xE9D2jjd
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupIAmsO5fT
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHjGFqQyUy
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRbObn9EX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UERJHz9oi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ636SJLUI8S

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDW811m39t
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad9zlRAkg8
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLHgYqHHik
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPhLc97ztL
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdolbIRDVir
leave, but after she finished her martini.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDyXf4C4CP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIEkSCNRAe

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ7XbBjMbJ
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Bmg8R0xo
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllML4EO9aP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tFmAUkuuK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruRYl8GwXt

“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigjc52Iky

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVirKGI3xZ

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVmnq2N5iI

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDaKNeyIPf
Kim’s shoulder.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjodmlSj1Y
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSB7MKMDFN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYtRYgzjAc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWEcRiN3Ws
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWRN0bjDH6
idea. We should get out while we can.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfs9UtZ0BM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbLvI5Duis
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO0agqlxos
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQffaJ1aym
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvgv6ESFGN
the conversation. Let’s go.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTExHRvrdU

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK1wuLTozm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTvKS4oEe1
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XQEv1lrKo
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmMSndSXAF
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGb9Esxh8w
were able to see Leo’s table.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaipctslLw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFAvGlpFpf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmmOJwysKJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8hIqRa9xW
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQGFUdXwG
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sn6b0BzkV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5zLPP1zTe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPafwJaLOQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVZo1bR21B
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKH9yQFhqt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2rvIntOo0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpgvmcP5Du
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZjlHTAJqo
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EsgRRQ1nu
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCLQoDEz6z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVE7HT7Ooi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI72oo1cT8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuXg192K9u
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREa48LdVED
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtwedajmFg
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGGvtugZ2k
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwck6TIlNKX
counter in anticipation.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCowtaFsppP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd86HlFFRr3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EGdextwa8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RWRBtPzWw
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoWm9OiYHX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a5GO1YSxH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCVhvc6D2D
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudz1vmPvCQ
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRoAOaTP9h
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jU5Ke8v31
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lmzd2B7t
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRQhbFVQ67
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ig5j4ykyh
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhNKKaazS2
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN5tx4rHA6
head.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQjKLeQJV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gdvDgu8X2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQrV24dhyT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwqcP4XYMQ
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOv5gyFfjn
not at that intimate level.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Ni40wWQZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrbexuPClI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOoyJaA5Wz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg53N4b3RT
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0XDqz52B6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVRqR7Tz0S
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ab9QiYmeK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSqVUtWSZM
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gpGfQV7l9
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor4sPToQuI
he was being friendly to me.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwG4ODtNBM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1fc7TVezS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ee7baFK1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1x23uFzpU
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kcoEf1dLK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD83CN8pc9C
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz6mGWLNLX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pum1wd63D
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9seU6dUTQZ
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLkLFdLxeR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQonNLlLM12
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Y7IGxBYz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZMPgJba21
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQnbeHioD
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0IkNEiYT
counter.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfsy9iIP8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXLOBj8gfC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0zdWWbB15
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8VBYH8uu
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9KZ10uz8k
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qcEe1Exi2
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOnIkoohaV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyHKjeoY0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNc8ndJAA1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SBYuNiZgd
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8CdA1W9V7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpCzypEiXf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLLcuhU2wg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeC5WhepR1
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29u7XFZQFB
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xcDmPQe1x
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzsGoWK2ZR
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqrFPyx0M4
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNci4r45F0w
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTbpv4yZOs
that was different from Carly’s.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiEdqGG5Jw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgRPsEHNpU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7z5XNNw7w
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaFQDmhe4s
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFInr06YJyV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5u5mAINR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mMjQRxuuR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMjhJIPr0w
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuud6zb0Xkq
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa0zkRS2ng
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ntsiOBoCR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOvpWf2cTT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGhBWp6zKR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQPHJM4Qfk
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJKKwynDgU
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooMYbA20L9
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L3r908JUi
doing here?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qU7SL6DLN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMuF43MsWk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P0AmJzUG3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwxexjz2Yu
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppDuTw5Pob
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡambMAJkQSq
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflBbuLtVSo
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKJLoOOWVs
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigYrRRCH9n
surprised look.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAT990BNNg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6DAC0bDJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68rczQipN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveUD3ouOqM
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL7FYplbfd
get her attention, but she thought better of it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFTpnVlY4U
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6C2bXIwlo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwcRWlCLLb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7kRbfburO
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU6Fv7994h
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0idmkhttT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkoHEzv3T
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEchZ471BYs
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3jaZ02A5N
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBThJCjEbA
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxOdsizjl7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4MSvir6P
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM6Vn5IClY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr6XX3pYMB
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDkZbfNkX8
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGanbvfHK
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyBoZGWtL
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PzBRmZJFS
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2nekpfKW3
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ6QKmCKvC
the table.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5RcxSrgkK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkf5C06X6H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkSbmOEDhP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexuPNZGaXS
“What was that about?” Eric asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZmofwYwLA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtJzfwKHib
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5gXaegy3x
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOMc0gFKCf
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSk4NX3wU
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TTvJKZjyv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyylR5izmum
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV5MLQ4etb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5tMePbVwY
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NniwhRsyk
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kFgc2UWNH
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKSjnuA2aY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj3WJaNhLn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZBhjusASx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3VcXmc3Q2
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMGleqB31O
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFCBjYEfQA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaGitoorAD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMCLWzhhUD
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEj6q0Oyjc
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwF49Wpyxw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy55bW50yq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FYUUnrtAQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyDupn3P9M
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQU7nYPJE3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ddnYcaKt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgzU7citN8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeKnEYq72n
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvp0uIquN5
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccwVRDAJ4e
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUMiZdHJI9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgmmnOVguP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7wWL94lLb
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJU7tnLSKL
said Marco.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tulCdL9n8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwBPs6hEqL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5GFmMLGtw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFzJGl9WM1
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LkN6ZSsO
more handsome than you.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cExEGoFSf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsc1V9jyAF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmCEGZ3XpQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACcV8UGRqN
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89XS13DewM
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SgJPE4sP
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ZEcqtGwF
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFAg8w3OTu
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31OUGMGZSl
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau77p5VxPp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKa69UPskD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwplSWXlr0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC94GezbXw
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTPEFJ3Moh
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4jLfUqVqu
thinking about.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FcA9Vgf86
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcqTSbvYJq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc9yTYK4Wp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYTMscucJo
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrGihFOlLq

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wNoHFR5gE

brother’s face.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1at8gunKp6

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUwbmULMcM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Fjxew1fR
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zRTW1nKOP
at Oliver.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND91Wk2HjN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGOOfsBNSb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6jRBzZXKD

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR7HNWisKI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsutUsj3nwc
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthvxD7KCX2
heading out too.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0KDjT2a5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuqljoPdym
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q07pmYUYH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWmuYhzUsJ
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEZ4bp5plO
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMomrzAC2Bv
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUCopkDYcV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO4ODAwXos
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA2A6YSUjk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAB39zSYvK
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpIEi01U8y
way home.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYgukB5FYQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfLaAgqXHY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQANv1ddB4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4GuWO8H5X
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFiteCdUbR
here.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHcTdGmVeQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJ1jyf2vP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYq5UIj6u1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSH9gUpua
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwjDaPM62B
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJxhOInAgt
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu5aYeOygx
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXXwUbBeq2
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ZuCyEJ9o
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dJ0gpfWO9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRpXuV2PMT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TYhtKWEG7
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4EoSAeKn
little longer.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1bNN1IH5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDOG6pFWb3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1dxxYgUBm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eYwv3cyHl
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJQVZfMch
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnEtv0YyRe

“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO6WqBGheM
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA8tSFEvbK
get your number, Angel.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f4bXYTxYZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPglRp7Wu2k
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBpUSBTFGz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6gNnG66af
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9unCvkPLJ8
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PWS1mCt9S
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCSITml2QH
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6a7AjmQKi
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXROXFxajR

“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrymTPA26Y6
difficult.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGgralezFa

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I8tar773l
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBNHbZv44v
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJa0LkI3wz
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHlgLTM6SF
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydodJ0Kk50
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMTSSh9rRf

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp2H8dIBLZ

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuIvJHlNiH
much at all for a while.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wof7aKgtl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JlGXNGx6e
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5SdZ3cz2Y
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNnAQwhLko
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bdRFDliNG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhD4RNRjX5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkCOKlhS0G
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZVEGp63bI
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsjZTK78pK
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZofa3OuIUV
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZep973SHw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspaMgufxE6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TH2fdSwqr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjryayVeq6
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ777fYhOxBp
home.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycQnITZkgv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKI6bQfOLS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJozPV1Ywuo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGodiDS7mX
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd1KOTT1F3
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsiVmGcFUX
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGhhxcbZzR
Miranda might still be around.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrOYfP6MPO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCQEDKxp1r
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ebOhFFd7I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRqZ07flV
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcF2AIw0FU
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kROjrf8d1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A45JEoe0V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pihbX5ANL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabmfjqNszZ
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5xSpeJzuk
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSvPxtFiRT
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZDH7zTSgw
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUJtWgLkP6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygkd7KR1e7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5opbdfGcFk

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAYKUucF1A
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWWzkwZdZk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbMjXRxSw0
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDG2mnWpts
the bar area.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbH5uBDv6j

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4lWCWd27D
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKnUn369IC
they started to stand up.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLfflC8wFj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52r1fnyeg5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDlrCcMxkx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhU3UuJnLS
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnule0qEIfr

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFH0Vp03P3

“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ZtiTfO9P
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpV2ji6GML
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIdSny5PX5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwbfoDcUP7
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uARpu6ChQ
see.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIGNOKrEto
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iYhRlEgGo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHYVn1PJZj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28oUeYAhgH
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ063dtf8kKY
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODHhbN1LYo
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hHdKtLYmH
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrimp9p5FRP
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxD2opUhV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYWD4ion2E
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgycBntuUZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEwwxsyvJW
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5PYsvhh4n
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nyUPnk98p
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolWlzJO6Oo
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsqVLrtOiL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA0AfTGuDw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF0YzRSWXq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WUieCB6fK
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHcNfislIU
seen us.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcbB5dmIUL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyQUBW0Se0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqViulPecO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqQaNCuebT
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcJ0x8DHbY
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoaxBZWkbf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO4TUx34Dw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWa8cMGF2I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmS5qtRync
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpil2vqYT8F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnBR6klmzi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvNVfLpkVi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0IN16aKH
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKoVm9QStK
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ7g2CPF3Y
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMHeE3qDoE
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHypAv4cz
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1dWUEYT2e
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ybJx9XR8g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXDuU6qOS6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR8DGdcdOY
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZmaN1Sg9U
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSiJ91N58h
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtTu1W3eit
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eOeT6M01Y
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kq9pnL3uy
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNCYjooOEq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Jm2KLRwi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGvR2M1Jio
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ACIR3AK9S
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIzFcwWJcv
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFXf0fez7T
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCsPe6mjQ7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R0Z9sClxq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigg4MP4GFW
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i5vy9CchZ
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7oBZtVIr6
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuNZbsrsCQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUanVUZNSP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkn1T3FI46
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mk37czEq
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcjAIclX1I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZhqPKwLz8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ABcekH2z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhOOPEHd2K
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1VRlAiqdT
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bSSNehyYs
this wasn’t over.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee7897ygTl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa2CLxViO4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT01wARVuAX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNPhBLvdXM
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhJuDQCj5M
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGonxBjVFKL
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nQktcB6oQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk290LpZkO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZTQmlSd2u
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsut7Ozrvq
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXgJq1L61z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnE0ZdAmPX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVwuoXC1N0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDJhk06qf
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYwye46wNy
favors," said Angel.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDiin6EM0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci9y96XIA4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZrBv7pTNW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8h3qUbroD
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQUq4zVQoh
they been there?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JvfhDQV73
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIryQmdUOtX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1FiOJK4Rf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSrkfPaIN
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIlTrSr7Pu
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvdISvWtS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2sEpPNwSp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdAKVz0oy9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk1ArExNkF
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6XHH5JSHL
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8bOCOBqwn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoX7crbYu1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRRrTo0mak
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwLQb1ns2M
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WbpWwvSjy
so you've got to be careful from now on."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPTMd3yCTX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeZero0U2F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWULV3qzrr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLrpb0Jb38
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPtf3aPtYt
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU1pL7oX36
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nbk25uM52
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoQOQOSDWn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgDNjnikV4
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9bY8iDte
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODbH3X4MV
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDQmsIgJp0
night only.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2WAOsOcxI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUawdZTnMc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow81jP4YcJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QCuKIzxr7
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGtei4hlbb
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEXTBl2MIr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5mc3PKy0y
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcACVhZsxF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtJrwrM3Qa
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjrVZCmXoY
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCtz4jd46r
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlStMHndGW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKMCQDrX9q
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lunQzTDD4
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQdRLJGAnM
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm0JaQIaZa
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbibe6tVbYU
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PfMAe1rQJ
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp17d1mlcJ
want one?”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW37vIPdMPw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcogrbMtVr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokvuXvi7Y2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEYU4H9LNh
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNja9EhWB4t
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIm6fQP8Gf
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSczYSWYVsQ
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrSw6OY75z
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uBne7AZv7
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1SdYrPibI
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOBja1k11z
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLGbdkCyVF

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iOPren7IR
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsltTQRLgV
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jhnby5RRF
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXHugfIhPY
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcN4Yk0zkA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvV1rJAdBv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxXD63WWCf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK7ezeKRcn
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Me3MaeqF
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloKQa3zFww
relief, it was Walters.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8wZR7G1V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB9EtNGM1D
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzNGzH7x39

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K25JZI72h

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkSn27SdN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfafIF7s0k
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7MHGBY1E3
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xOkWhBCNy

Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFkOvSKlNw
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULeRUBBf3
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66MN7q22yq
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmMD1fthob
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegn6DHIayp
Lion?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJSjYsiQIx

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyeAANsYVP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFreaYw03Xn
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWvJlYBJt2
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zyerGT2HQ
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnfmiLV2l2
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XQEOhJ1YA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4n7qW9dlH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGpATCqN3n
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsSAFo9Kol
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk1L9BNz5S
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D5eLqdvYU
squeeze her throat for being late. He turned to the person who stood on the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUwHAi8bVH
