Angel was in the living 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNg4eZDSk7
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3892j9nwa
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo33mbNsS2
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgdCyNgCTq
"How was what?" Angel asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVACv6gFflz
"Getting to know Leo?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnyhqh9crR
Angel could have sworn 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhsSjvNhUq
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3gp4poUt
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfw5owhZqR
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogh4VpPg4j
"Really?" Amanda looked a816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNLPKFHpwv
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH7nr2ME5Q
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqS06x5JDR
have offended you?" 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz6kMePzgv
"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."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNuGy8p5AY
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ZOeywsgu
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sibcIIz6J
"Awww, you're so 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs6wGCCILQ
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEg4WPku5
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPuLtS4g3C
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aY3v6LjWQ
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBSNwR3Wz4
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsuAkwt9RS
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzWuXPZ0S0
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X2qj92H2b
Amanda gave Angel the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VDxbZhJhu
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IcKr7pDrH
to deal with writing. It suits you."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IqfD2R8gx
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCVb2kt3RC
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa5N1yKtNO
"What is it?" Angel asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlfp7le6oo
"You seem to be one 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKigT6y4Q8y
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK6Cj10zIw
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VdluLnKjO
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7biAZsuj
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ilqnTj441
"What?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBonjbTzI7x
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpab5rtsX
Leo who had just come in816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZORV00a5A
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40lHNn47VR
just at the entrance of the living room.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R3z0oyVE5
"What did you just say 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h7gtghLHK
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96sUJW90Wq
the two women on the wheelchairs.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIIskE6Fp8
Amanda turned her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yv13kpOVT
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYcHarfVI
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJ27qI3vP
themselves."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHckvGRNSm
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4NSJWPlDq
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDywrTfC7d
Leo couldn't believe 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkny6imZVCC
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtr0jUjQ6u
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKubGJ7FiZ
"Haven't you thought 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVsgA17VUB
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5T8bbfaLa
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvo2YKxRVz
job of her own?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNEQYJllI
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZcPeuKEb2
"You deserve better, my 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7EtXa7MlQ
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpahkMqXg1o
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvlQJuG1qF
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OxrIoJNpg
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYPMAQDjW5
"What makes you so sure?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQsv4WpU9s
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwfQcepc1P
"Mum won't though."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN6b98yqmK
"Does she run the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXv3jAmNIf
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Au25ZI3m
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbjmxANlhX
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlJ6NhuBuW
Leo knew his grandmother816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLixc4o89Q
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyEMRiYcyz
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbI7CHS9nC
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBfY6wtOjM
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVAyXsYmF1
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODlNP7iUvQ
"Don't say any of this 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8EB8t5mP6
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfXwuTVcA7
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSpV8YZ4bb
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1LnwxnH3S
have to convince her a little more than I have to."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQODfTKPfK
Angel gulped. It felt 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJlDcBAvx
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf8l7951f6
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx7YL9FXj2
Leo made his way out of 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7t8yPlRov
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5obkph5Iu7
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnpB7cC3UE
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYJ88y9bjq
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtSvGvXILK
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjjL6brbtd
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDznJG8wo3s
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eFCTdVmyU
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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGe8IesB1F
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRF26FigNv
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJOnSVnAZ5
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Tw3KPjGp
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8OfKLK0rf
"I'm talking about Kim."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpTp3j2eVK
Angel didn't know if it 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkba9fuOkCr
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgaUnvtg9J
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB45KPbawdL
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrvdTfk3KH
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyXyBeqeeT
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIUzkJFO8j
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc05pG1Yltn
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9EyfM2IXS
certain things?816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX48vqbayOt
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ4oamDfGv
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGCLg4PBvm
Angel felt like covering816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIovXAIbza
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4pyvAKFLV
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaUvKlyqzb
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7OsSQPrDk
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw52xznRZb
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraNl7RbTxy
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBup3P8tqv
Angel felt her heart 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmRYuynbjP
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa2dhnhb8n
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyGDY4QJii
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡose3MzLSvh
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0935BaMcmi
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMypyeCsaM6
and invited her to the wedding.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IIAkr8JtI
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCezstbJw2
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ikOFtTBe
Angel looked at Amanda 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljNJ75jOac
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBgJZqKZlR
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0wryIhGaL
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIRuPl3i5N
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9wFDv9wkS
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvttzChFgR
saw Leo.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdXOO6YiGj
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiSoEKKIiF
"Nothing, dear," said 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CgO7uttZ
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8kPTGsbD4
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sYVJXO5Ao
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKd0rzvM3l
"Have a nice day."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8l6JD6xHY
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdybVFmpJcd
Leo nodded his head in 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0AUCNp1Pu
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTrYM0wt9b
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUr4AP7yV1
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MFyPtVnJw
through the front door.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD0v9eVBUX
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv5FzEQKWF
"You're unbelievable," 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3w7htCUdf
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPDWr4LSB
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN4ZxfGYSx
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENNNTliVv5
"I'm sorry for that, 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4yrisGsrk
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbyP2UKpPr
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUKwgZnsMW
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgcqlDS9F2
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hSEhqSLaa
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrYKnshVKq
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0mMvmfdfc
Angel slowly followed 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7njvOr0fbb
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALi7egDkj7
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbVccXpgkm
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvebXAwbdSz
must have felt awful.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJc2T64t47
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1miozsoTC
***816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUUah4cdaz
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QH6l2hMMt
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG1WqzWawc
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45u0l4T1fD
He816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30E0aybAdM
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKgc4HuepF
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdnkfrsqNa
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ngnAkDmj
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQCYpXH7cB
Since816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptA5PWMteE
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKkI87B9QW
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4CCe0aYHw
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz0SD5ENeY
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ978hWHp7Eu
Who816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJlYZLLoP
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuubXj4HhE
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErqAHn19e7
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0A56ysJAN
He816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSNfSTVtx1
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjjeZKqfsP
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlzPJ5BlNY
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG0KcWa0BS
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OezSK2NdV
"You've someone here to see you."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04c6dk6zCZ
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5GxNFeim9
"It's Trina."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoj5mUtxs5
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1sHyI2BQK
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPjFYmDkGZ
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvRLygEGk4
called off.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzTGSyNrHk
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuoOVaQcoX
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZncEbtL5JO
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIdIPSZFnB
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciuBMwHjnK
Trina816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRvp7gBXc
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PZsPFpVHz
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjuARLUgbt
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeA4jnGrk2
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cCGoTszwM
fall out sometimes but still get back together.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6bb8Brozl
Now816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEy8h9C6Np
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hBKnrh9L
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQdmpdrgPv
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5mVuxjlr8
weren't friends.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrb2w2amy6
While816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XpRdtO14k
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhthmZD8OQm
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIzurAM497
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQFUUYMt9V
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJuUsjy6rx
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8e5tT992y
One816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnMVwuL5lU
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPFIf2FwW
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzbQoCuiJP
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPdwXkraTq
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmp50sDmoK
one.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45SLReBTfY
Not until he met Angel.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTTBU4NylN
Trina816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4fTxne5KQ
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS96SyBTWJM
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKuekbT0rm
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qbirtwDqC
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvFiOyX9Qc
Trina816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtBzOHrtsn
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XieZvMdSF
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT1XyDtJB7
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhXEJ0XQRA
beautiful.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ikrxZo6k4
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCyCLPnvb3
"Then816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt4ZxwR4b5
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ohaVGRd4
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1BHYBFsXR
side to try and work things out."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFNBzG7o0
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71hqw5uSzV
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC50pJEJPB
"Ya, me too."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflmw99ZC3m
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACgVnv5Hum
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOR2ckGKrC
"Do you know something, Eric?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnGhEpqkt
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb85BeWY1q
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGJwhOs7U2
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5WY8p4Pm6
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ0Be2sC3x
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgjpbDQsp6
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfzLmKz9Nk
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp917Hv3Wr9
eyes with a corky smile on his face.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA2A3GEMdY
"Please,816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPD5cKL2fP
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbAugHIn2M
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PpHuBHbr
ask him?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0ZLwCtoR
Trina816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzaPaQm5eg
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtCVyA8OgD
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Urwiek13
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jdaz00pDS
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwoeanIhGx
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Qer9oAXL
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ2S6PwNPK
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnWC9RsxhY
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8lwBgG4nV
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgYx8iQgEL
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipTDXJdXUK
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI86mzYD2h5
to say next.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs61Q1h4SuV
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNOpGXKfY9
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9oMGmThIm
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98sI0Ceqld
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ufC9M2gIg
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsqnfCemp7
"She's816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfrriNPgxR
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabRxjUWKur
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtktTQVqthv
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7eVCziLTV
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWABrto58cl
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJIhZgQyRV
anymore.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelcogRHpfi
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yhn2Npwn7
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV2d37Swx9
Trina816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi33hZv8Z0
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrJBw55XZP
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5OErhqmj
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVPdTBXUFg
massage him.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfDvKZtcwF
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZGk1WZl3r
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLiSP6SmW5
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEqONhCevM
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT1y5dLDBm
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHicySFeOD
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF9qTxLuGb
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx5TGwzvdU
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY2IzbdtOV
He816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEgV9GETiI
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAvVMWldSo
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpuzzWykIH
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuAhvdxe0k
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomaHSF1qyt
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeBDOCXh9a
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh9Eu5VxR9
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgojl0CDrWL
"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."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9QyWiyp6j
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCALg2vECY
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOuQ65sypb
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeb1pxsuKh
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZt5K4pDIF
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuAexxzGwL
"Oh,816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVawItosrYQ
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA3y8FCcWw
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NbxBaT14E
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqqb2myODe
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYwduQjDUT
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUOYLJxb4K
Trina816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLlqpC3dSF
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XPucdUFt5
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VkCfyrSoh
Leo816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4bc0Y3ab
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybH0wCRIYH
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rsI6MVIsF
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEn7w9NLoh
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzCVUmt2lh
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqEHqP79n
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1TPNTPgaH
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjrMZ445B
"I was just leaving," said Trina.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG07QQoyvHu
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn6NMFs1A1
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pngpo5WZx
With816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxAHZYQof7
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e2gZIB8qB
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1XhC6nef3
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMIRTE1vzC
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPpkyMqVQt
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24gmgvJOiX
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cTpKpxGRz
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNVzXUDrd6
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgSMLsOt4
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmAvDGlqMS
"Well, you would someday."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMhp9NHJ5
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVGjU3gn5S
"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?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uq36JYxCD
"That would be fine by me."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm7coPgpO4
"Oh,816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOYFOYPFRt
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFm2OnaLKQ
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjU0o9Opl8
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCjf7tVhyf
you broke things off with her."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvKvpMAM1c
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH3bP9Dedu
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZQ9M61J3n
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsfVfh12xU
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiTzXVL39I
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp8KmpCV9j
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HIhkvVGXm
Leo816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptc5Dgg0rp
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoLSItucbZ
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzux8xfHOoI
her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFw2Wo36oT
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnCFhlCYmE
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7tIpHsbuB
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zELKSXobj
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKChFOE9RCf
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNjkkAY1zf
thinking about Angel just now."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSWBuNu6aO
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLoxmdlgT
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcvxmtjPZA
Leo816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIAoaSFcuv
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV34gmPSlx
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9tNOQAlM6
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOUlJke8f5
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqT7qpk99S
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzInAWwHhm
"Because,816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVV0ea3iAS
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIsyGp3KD1
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDarlG2B9Y
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvFK2s6qsS
in a sense of emergency to release it."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqdQV0yWWa
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5u6RJqliX
"Of816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWcp2uyJkm
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsWCLrhLmT
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zrPginxPs
darling, Angel."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ652NHibIeJ
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUrrXnrEfL
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT6M8d6nyv
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBApvgt2Xj
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxTSW36tkm
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNGVEIoBBv
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."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fryN0LYqA
"Grandma816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376aHQf9kX
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT9ua1cEkH
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFkdYBo15i
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW3tN6A38g
Leo816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHZIWducdL
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88yoA5aunw
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlk4qISnIc
word to anyone.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAqj9OCSgf
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8bvyWmzup
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzpvckHFTY
"Yep,816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMurlFy16w
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tYoM0PUra
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7qejmHgWj
"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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxbj5R2WWZ
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3nAn1kluI
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBtBIWh2wE
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a2EkYFQNw
Eric816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt51w6NjzIZ
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpzvetmkir
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXaYh9leU4
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM9T1wpKaT
Leo816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo5NQNXmS7
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUBrgtwEK
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBUZ5bYUz3
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EVu1VFVpg
He816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLavL4mdA9
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlqItn7uKC
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtiL4Z7wak
desk that he had to look at today.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kIg4DLqL1
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv09YT8AHz
Leo816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4AQBmb91Y
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE9DlCJ9SX
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCMNc7TeFK
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
