Angel was in the living 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnpZ3MkeE
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NPGpPitCD
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MPnlZRo12
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUdI1Z3KVi
"How was what?" Angel asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw10TgW6d9
"Getting to know Leo?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBECzGHe1Tp
Angel could have sworn 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotbn7yIV9d
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTxpTF9pAD
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzlnOvDEO7
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKweh1tvWjs
"Really?" Amanda looked a771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOcCtvBjKf
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXUbeEVjIf
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuDCAKvkzP
have offended you?" 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6YSuTPMO
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh1P3evSyW
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfA3acaVsV
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSW8tjTOXL
"Awww, you're so 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17xclmfBUo
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dOI0J3fpF
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8QZ3dfcF3
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagg3HTqmfn
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AcxtB4KsI
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXifkH1s3xT
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NQ7sOUqUE
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIKOVDJVn
Amanda gave Angel the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmzHu2vqsy
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGWfYtviF
to deal with writing. It suits you."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzm9GbYD2b
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM5ISYmYYs
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1lkQ3OQ5
"What is it?" Angel asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMDaZH7Zwh
"You seem to be one 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACle4A1JvX
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAnKUumlXA
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNU0JCyN1Z
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZXY9zcw97
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26gr12YA3B
"What?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJZM0Aqhdi
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZBR2aUz9k
Leo who had just come in771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxOsfAgAo2
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKnqrMwhC9
just at the entrance of the living room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eQyQ1YG5Q
"What did you just say 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0PUdS0sbG
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbBZDTCSl8
the two women on the wheelchairs.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkIPGnjiof
Amanda turned her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0UFKTCl6
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa755uopyg
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zb9UorO3K
themselves."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuBmXqgrpG
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Mda4gl3Q
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoKuBBluS1
Leo couldn't believe 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXONEscuY7V
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRxy3PrIMK
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PaSIRjykb
"Haven't you thought 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCX0IiBDXa
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjXzxe6Z6r
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC93cqlu3Hz
job of her own?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuuvAuTeOE
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2bXIoynzy
"You deserve better, my 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPH0DqT2kT
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp6Jc60ol0
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyPySOwr5s
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON1Qmw4mft
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9yO9Q7G3m
"What makes you so sure?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvcb9gnbo7
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKzltw6nq
"Mum won't though."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXrF9pOa6v
"Does she run the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrMt0jRiK
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkTZZGMTN
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIq5pKd9f4
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83CD7O6B3T
Leo knew his grandmother771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TU3WSejr2
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZGQV9SSs1
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZoKHruJY
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6OIRru92l
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZM4uFMAQS
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSdXf0JlhN
"Don't say any of this 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYsVo4YKn
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbLV7m4TXM
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ1jxeHbkp
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UCxlvhzl0
have to convince her a little more than I have to."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ys5fzamM8
Angel gulped. It felt 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQADE75cYuD
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJdlwkYnHI
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6VbVd9R2h
Leo made his way out of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihuKOXXSak
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikshFsutjo
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUciToKzqCf
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwxhmcYGCp
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVPqBcE4J8
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6xDtFn7xy
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUGcJjFaM6
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXqjsjYy2Q
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbJzBjL9hz
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK6YCKWYDO
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE356ORheVD
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgpepvMIZq
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcil9UaOXL8
"I'm talking about Kim."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rxR6XT887
Angel didn't know if it 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqvus8REz
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48dTufUvwS
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPRNI19Fle
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnspv5GIgov
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2iBlDICMo
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreRXEZ1lsC
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq1MElvsPn
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoMk3FpnQ7
certain things?771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMnupl2Nhm
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp3HDJqCwv
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdnzoZhjmf
Angel felt like covering771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxoLFHXTb
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVAQBRXk3E
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw47Nz65912
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392OdpMIM5
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44UmzhJywJ
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DJsUhFMzH
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI56forWuA4
Angel felt her heart 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD1mDcphA8
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMpGQKi4Cs
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopghxwIha
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3UfE1UG0e
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rKuoRtjvv
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXnor57LZv
and invited her to the wedding.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx6vs1cQGy
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7igItw8eP6
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ233PaOG5AZ
Angel looked at Amanda 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7uYewdfBa
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkt41C7qfm
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSR7rx7gk1
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwrZpWeWQ8
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFoSWFjQN0
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSjcHX6wgk
saw Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY36mFuYDM
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDPDYHJb98
"Nothing, dear," said 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UsSwy3JQO
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygcC0ucTqR
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHCHNuIhTq
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT5fqau4zQ
"Have a nice day."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcAb7FN3UD
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFvpH80zK6
Leo nodded his head in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1btUXJcd1
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeE7mhWdZV
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6VdPBLyXU
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIsdajOu8J
through the front door.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5g0qeYGMV
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPQ1m8U1Co
"You're unbelievable," 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiIebEmGqv
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2ggrIu6p
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJGqOQEbJQ
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoaUFMNaSf
"I'm sorry for that, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev4vAvpJhd
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZ4swstEV
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RzogNXfzZ
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8x4FhCg3j
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe5SzRMszx
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cWKJ1OQOz
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzng4ffnQVS
Angel slowly followed 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudAYK8eVkj
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekRarwLjO
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzZJC1JAxo
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFett3AToLz
must have felt awful.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP1YW5IorA
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgamL8FWLYD
***771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN5hbZPyqj
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJYWnwwZjO
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaWsxSfUWP
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19jUWepYR6
He771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhgLjlFRL9
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEEM1DRw7t
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluF2XnqBSN
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJOtMdJm2Y
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFWCPxBn5J
Since771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXQqTUF7hp
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4QTNUny35
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZuRVUYytM
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qdmlAZ1k
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfoZvp9pni
Who771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoScA21N0o
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm88qRa8c8o
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MyUFAUx0Y
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWrQdPRsXS
He771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEwaAaIbpW
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPppTCd0iD
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8YW1q209X
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ymOmoTiF
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8pIVJ3yPL
"You've someone here to see you."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6GbQgmaKY
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIVBuS56DK
"It's Trina."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOaQuWoDKf
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjQRlfLRwz
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZZggP6c5L
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Ad82GZSE
called off.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3iDF8kjcf
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsoCrXAJFj
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ343dQL8NxW
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE8fogjWyL
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LL3W8C94x
Trina771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WXjklNUsL
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz2vPM6Z8b
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHbwXXYb6h
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbENRHhwv9
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqlkotEWk
fall out sometimes but still get back together.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOwlmYHlDK
Now771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ij9FkKaK
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bOBAAqsOQ
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLeTvm9Jdx
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DIdorLfSY
weren't friends.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9COZEsEvew
While771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1vHoA7oM
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD81mClo0c5
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMRS751ITO
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NHsm9Pc3N
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfYJq2HW4G
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpbveLYQm
One771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBOcw9EmM
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2EE6c1Kqj
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxEYTUaFpC
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4qrAb78Ym
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aJCm7bMm6
one.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcKmkrTh4u
Not until he met Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UfpmLIimy
Trina771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHCNj0xKSN
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lfoaHvG5U
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3v21C0w8C
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ62YsaUoe
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ675ZYZ2dHp
Trina771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1s9cuILQO
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ92pkDnE2h
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrZmoVIraN
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYJ49xKwYv
beautiful.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJQS2lIxi1
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNwW5QjmYO
"Then771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡButtsWpHKl
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7onmEjCbhr
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6wemU8Sgr
side to try and work things out."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleDQwJXTsy
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxcAG8LUdE
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ekTxtSdQy
"Ya, me too."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46YtxPyedt
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbG9iHWNQS
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXV03qKqlz
"Do you know something, Eric?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM9B4LrfzL
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zhpYm9iQt
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeuUAZbZPZ
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUZ6803S0p
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx7tQQ2eKu
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaCGK9wt8b
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2CEqLMBqv
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8cwymIxF1
eyes with a corky smile on his face.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ckZ3qRhs
"Please,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9SrBVkEfP
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmcK1JLYjr
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTSO02dHif
ask him?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfEXCOW6Sn
Trina771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmTfFrFvgb
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMG7AUknxO
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs2UN4D78v
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITHZxC4LAc
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0os0UZb2I
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAET8DmLGBT
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpgqOIOJG
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRXWyYSj1r
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ177NYw8BZF
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIq3DjresH
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsMhekrmIZ
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ3zOJAbXN
to say next.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU0xUgdzUe
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdhrUoRy0
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRtiIO2zFO
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7IDQYKRqB
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK9xuY1ZCH
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfozCJQZMM
"She's771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKToyXieh0
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCdXfapqzr
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5X3tWHsTk
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKmb8IkxaW
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9TQpWoeAC
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUavWlWXhr
anymore.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIh9COk6Nx
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cFN1xpO21
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBmWUvaijY
Trina771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBaaUeWhBZ
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgmqE2QMZ
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9VBsKJVEB
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoJiHMUMI3
massage him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlscUEKVHjb
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhAKbDPx0i
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjY5dxW6nS
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yHwGH4gte
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6VOkG5p5W
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgMTW51GdM
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu9HagIHET
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiayNyizakh
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGCNNBkFSU
He771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ecbQqYuE
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJafYiGCMle
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQUvb5ugXE
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQChuvrj1fs
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MYQzXd4Ic
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkyE1DzLpX
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawnGku8xg4
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPRuReaLdz
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINB0WjBj6w
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4XZKm68vO
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFDUB94jyy
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCgY8cEG10
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj1fhUXp3m
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhghMSQkBmW
"Oh,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwIJW7iNMy
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOK1bJKPcw
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRJSEcbd4u
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKuJAKVC9
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTHleyPMh4
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLYD60vl6Q
Trina771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYCKOqDm6t
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0W5VhDOvZ
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV78YmX3aQq
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9sLMkRlwZ
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHytlfQ5S5y
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmftBxAdUi
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp04uzxDPf
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HzM0jz7U7
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ3gFhJFBJ
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6E03tjAxU
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMEqCGOfI1
"I was just leaving," said Trina.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjIUxRnguY
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhof1B232es
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG63S0KDgfS
With771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz0AQH8bmN
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04libPgjku
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsiw45rVCq
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7alNMBIcHt
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Pyrsnod1
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGZWm8ADji
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yRVMl9LAj
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcINovUaF8
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqPZ5TG20y
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iv6HYN5Gl
"Well, you would someday."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv6sRPemrP
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkzSpToVTD
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUx3XEnHvp
"That would be fine by me."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJVneRKcs
"Oh,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBXtiFrxiL
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKnavEGhlB
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCYLarO2pb
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrandZbnQm
you broke things off with her."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDVyMWLrsg
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH36Phz0OB
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLTGkyC881
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28JFaOtXVL
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvYWJgIcWC
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOYXc1idt9
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJg1mhcSxo
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnih1etjvy
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJr1qJAhQc
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrehxbZ4XS
her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq2W8O30oR
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcPgTC8rgb
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBaz0WH2av
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabSYFt8Dr
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN3kFZp9O6
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV5RhXs6eA
thinking about Angel just now."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nuW8sEL3D
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syQqUKdQ1
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydvovmcl5n
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTHDvvvrnF
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5mkiMpzMy
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pId26oxRz
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5fr7XPNf3
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqztsDL9vSl
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFXfjgAJjj
"Because,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03VytDv9oK
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lwCfe0KwY
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnksXHHEHNk
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmFJol3q1Y
in a sense of emergency to release it."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOeefd3Eun
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIYyoThN4T
"Of771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFENO4yDNR
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Ve4i5aY2
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywGJl6wOOa
darling, Angel."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5bFmWTgKn
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Othd2r8X
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVNspqEeBg
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooaMqNF8qf
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQyjbYgHp
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyFLdHEo7e
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTbg0GGkB5
"Grandma771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSXfW1HI9g
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfO0NBY2IY
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpPtKqa7sD
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bVJo0RN1Y
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPuyKjXr7Y
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NV4bKoBPT
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5a1PLHh7b
word to anyone.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVSetb6wTU
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBsyy6cga
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nL0H2thSV
"Yep,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmYjvdhnvb
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWBJJffwFp
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsfY5iYiwk
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKlUPY3RZC
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBVhcg8Vnm
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjobIvKMV
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dYLFdc9Q7
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31uhQf94as
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDak8PIKOR
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ7QHYy68B
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGjTAR2834
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTrbIi7cyO
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5nEILPA9H
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jLYO2zGTn
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XP5nwzTb
He771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC5cMLEk3e
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqZLgm3KZ3
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFnOuIVKXt
desk that he had to look at today.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmFqkIahxH
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBiwlxZpY
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOlAIot6v9
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGUrSN9bIu
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSHWL3pik
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
