Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDnOgf7B5L

She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5tG4FZumV

Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mBCkjKfYL

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

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCiJvKisI6

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSXcl1n6HU

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben. They actually attended the same university and apparently found themselves working for the same editing company.

Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother. His shiny brown hair was also smartly combed, so it was difficult not to call him so.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWfyDQ4hj

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1fR4lIWLo

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRnCwfpIV7

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXESzdepro

"Of course, Mr. Dean," Valerie stood up from her seat and made her way towards the door, passing Angel. Angel thought she had seen Valerie smile. She wondered what that's about.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lptYgvJS7

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC8fLJdFz8

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the  complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qMVQECsR

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aKqJ881Wu

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

Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ZYPctLyC
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8MN8IekrX
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8ngMyW8T5
"Whatever, Eric. Why are you calling?" Leo noticed Angel turn to look at him after mentioning Eric's name.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSrzezVpOk

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7gWxIHSVO
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPX1FFVxa1
"That, my friend, you'll have to figure it out on your own. Happy croissant hunting," Eric chuckled before cutting the call.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNO55u8Bmr
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTvcjXZi5E
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa28AZzORAC
Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6C7wldahc

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyLUlx61u4
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCtpF4pwn
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLYngLjuOz
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uBwpk1lUI

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLIiwvmxAQ
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdawyrRp7Dt

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fk74in50E
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaj9xtJ4W
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB7pjOr2TT
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsaBYKn9SO
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6v5t9ezBo
The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yPMKdGl5

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq2CtcyXio
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIH00Tp8wm
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKfCEpbku5
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxHz2zWBa6
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO0chgqokX
Leo hissed. "Whatever," he said. "Let's check this place out, then."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUPwtPOOPZ
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3b2j82wv3
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQEb4pEPgK
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0YBqU969I
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhUd0ikILI

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ltIdqqVxT
"Let's go, Leo," Angel told him as she quickly rushed out of the car.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHKLwlreYR
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjBSftq888
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwEeeYORQx
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9B4NcO8Co
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyLZvpzKhV
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCke8LxFEKI
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76oDi1bpZy
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ015XpDsvfv
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxVS5I42aC
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVkgWNRMC1
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH78awlZKu
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBRYCpPA1c
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYbPUkOjXX
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvteHSATv8
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LFUa2pYOe
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW920JCj48
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjkJq5sNVG
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK2eqJL0OS
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJytBp6InE
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraxzJWAyh6
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vv18UG0Vp
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiRX8ukr0z
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJcn26XNyu
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6QbGAih2W
Leo turned to look at Angel who soon straightened up. The line had moved a little and the two had to move along with it.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwVkmy7UYq
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxViGK0OElv
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM4TWCiimX

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBxBlmAGNE
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK5KPFuAck
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO9ArnRRbI
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiWCibGkvy
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw2M8mS1uc
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueIVL68KyU
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiw4SZHr6O
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXlr4PHMv
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYzT0QDDBn
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7sQBez3pq
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXbc3WwQA2
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG681eEOgp
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAtBxmgoPG
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZNXXb9bVO
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRcQm7DxAE
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBrCpO6DGa
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob8BKKc1Ym

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjUaFBOfW
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Egrj7lIx
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNc7SJiaQ0
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGsioXJYzk
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2kPOfEu1T

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacKAZKb0DI
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBPWuObE3u
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PESUUMSki
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAritI6ENz
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEre0C7HTl
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4oegtKuM4
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch9EYShYrW
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm59kUEaMG

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVXXeRLqFI
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeOnK8Bc8W
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G7lELz3cV
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzruxKnyfi
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C93tlYDz7
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQmXSW69JH
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhiYKwzUGE
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPaNPZqe4y
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB1EWOZAoI

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO7Gy1nsw1
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2E8ySEOnp

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3XebW5l5u
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl19VZ3OHlz

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgKkPI2TgE
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjzciI0ZpF
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5WUcPmKag
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrob0fhXvS
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tJ9tbcWZx
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pbSPAh1p4

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH4CIOxbwu
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8eGPJqGIp

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg0fp6f7wd
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXC1HfjkQ

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97qi0g1iZy
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUhzHOXTgn

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrusUjutHwR
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBr1yxuvy
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3OCINpwC7
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Npez0KWII
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsyGxlutz0
"We better take these while they are still hot," Angel said, quickly turning to Kim. "He's expecting an old friend soon and these croissants have to be there before then."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjOIEXVLxd
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73o4Hi4bAy

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsLGO5FJuJ
Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWIVCfd68e
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdub7FD4uv
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYj5tXbrAB

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqozVLNjzT
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9de5TZoUh
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nCLt2F2Uh

547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv8fCC7sdk
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwztFLCvNQO
Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuNW2QJt8I
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK7Camto3m
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn304TNC2H
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTOK4tTcDf
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Svd23pk7
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCriKlEWmul
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2m0lTTrzL
547Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3o1rqzqIX
