“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNP2RN7dCS
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs7YvgUodF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgc7TXC00g
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikBfAOYJRj

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSnPY4TcFM
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb7ecnIZOy
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoLIHk3WBE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCgLWluKT6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVC9hRkg8M
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OwUx4bQ5v
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLo49YBIfS
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMvBm4zip8
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB3QepMoYw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbidbxRXqR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ksbTMx0p
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJH4HhJDAY
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3XyCF6vRE
want to say it.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ6p1SFJyV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLonHKQeTbb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM7wvLjLcj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2HVbAezqZ
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGc462OjbA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJcFS8byFF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKHntKsCv3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiGWJOXVew
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWMTQtXYYH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi2DIJtEWV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxprfrpmWG6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQVm2If5FN
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuOoM41JqC
because that’s just how she is.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi5tqsnTVZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPZu9jigPs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXk9rhPpCk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg8JgyKyx3
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eL6LkM6n0
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkhZPQuZkm
your fun.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVsw0VXGv

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZBqi34o7o
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw0GrwOcbE
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePCKFe3YHC

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxav5q6Pdq9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtwl6k2Csq
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwANFoZqFt
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBt37EqInF
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwucvd5EVZ
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2Fg9IwwB

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrKeEffwwS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwfpv3FSli
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlbGq7KJfC
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrzb2lqUy
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVVcnfyS9H
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DmLE5syWg
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S2l2Ee4yg
that they should join Angel and the others.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJOm5rTqov

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DDgS4Aso
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLBY2N2SOA

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zI9i7qfOP

“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sqseKAayt
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqlJzMeWJM

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3nZfqijzN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBGFPtICTJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUBOMrFJH
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2yuq502q2
their sight.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0VBQKlKMD

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr4rocDGs4

they aren’t at their table.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoznxisyoq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMtagJWMMg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYNQbqh0Vb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWL6ID35xX
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdfrsUicxv
the counter.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyqEIqAeS6

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKj1iokgYZ
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITvHakFUQd
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6QMLPW3o
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiY6yCZkcu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzlPdhVuzB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1mU221og
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yWZ0oC6xR
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFY2x1o6D2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtTw7cvVyP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gtd9p5rbt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKCY2yOoVo
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgYUU6hys0
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQSCDJQpwL
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuILFm5SeQ
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYBjV5gHUU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos35FuQTXz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfJvPxcoIe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96gSEQxOQT
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUNBQbhelT
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbCoU24UNA
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgVriLmtMn
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEoc9gQBT8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kPSfpcxx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFkzcj00tA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0t0tcFpQQ
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9kvHFJmmK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaukOCGMz7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYm5YjVQx4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2WoCphtng
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8TuYOEyaX
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vGt5czGbE
would speak first.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YPSK28Vjh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwErZoVNag
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zkgRvCrgj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3k4aHRRse
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13XRdUADI0
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC83uzT0WVQ

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWovxLr9SG

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGfTNyjXkU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9rcNqCNJP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0peNNMpmCm
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjnhm8KUMn
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVDy3NmeXh
it was hopeless to do so.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaarbe4r6P7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rbEJt7mjJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmK72Q8k1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr3mHpAk44
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2QxNPGNnV
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhY3fVTz0D
Walters calls.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQWeL8sIkS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMshuxTkCz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBRg4FwJt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXTVwpr1d
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYSoe9yz7
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHgx5PtQIQ
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdqfQELDam
minute.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCDfucaQUh

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4fTNZ2JMX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLLqewKleg
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFg2XnAIil
door.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt36BuQMknU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDCi2EBaDy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYqZM1fEd7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1n88qWFC8
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPYwDxBecE
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnck0cuKYWQ
any moment.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5S9NZnhS2

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT14kae4rS
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XfZgRHHrF
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaInElALspy
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP08sGZ81w

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ68ISfeuS9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV4Q0pE0r7
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi21J5mqxQ
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZlhAj9EEq
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9HNXFsVPk
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA2t0aJ8z6

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqK0BVWHBH
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpwZGkGJO3
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qqfMmoe6J
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsQH7GaLRw

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5faZ75l9G
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnnOE2tYv2

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6nyTJTAoz
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P3D8GhGma
Eric and shook her head.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb8w22jpZ1

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1cxpEadPu
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxHrOvnanq

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBczijbT55
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkXiyUI5d
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnne8KGcSj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeXiYsAhK5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezRKK2hrk5
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKAqeZhPtA
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoEjYB1GRl
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmW2ERme1s
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8iPm41awq

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0OiAqFS0U

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fc8uYKAuO
they all burst into laughter.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYPYdYL5vj

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vIq52UyzP

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjyIl3Vfcn
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhycV5OBuq

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9vBa4qbvn

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9dDX6QrlG
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDFtY0oHWT
out his hand to get a nacho.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqUTBpPDyc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB66SN0m9p2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYmHnyZzNL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkquYGDGwq
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99tLQ55sI6
afterwards.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFveJo3qGW

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3NlX3ZDCY
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu68JWvcuH

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhWhAJ1M6j
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkrImYuBXo
the statement.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWSEbvWfEU

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWe5v1NSEm
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9P4B27l0e
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmeSy9GkoG
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZJ5zu8j3b
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KmufkoFxt

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESGM6b24n3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2faoLZYpC
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3kfM2gHDM
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48hchS0uNL
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7DodUVfcj
elsewhere. What should she do?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26NFHG4QHG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3cvC1pGI7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlPY8PAekY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvC9uYxURJ
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oPKdh3OnQ
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFBSKt5KL1

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISELBb9MLn

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrEYJDOT3O
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtRBsd8Typ
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcFeWP1Egd
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnCnLVZoVc

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NUd7nlApl
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU10gsNnBl
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPUyu5cyIR
necessary.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLS4zKF3F6

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDYXx5i3G
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ4TzNzl4Y

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4m5ZGyPJ9
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQc2rxdhSX
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHVamu8X1Z

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwNE0ldPL

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dVYJM8Tv4
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrWyPqTCrG
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGIlnnX6fz
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHb1qQdSU0
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hiBMIeCOn

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVG7GvvzCD

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GgpaDTMzj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6igef5aHL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC8cYTwLwS
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihThziujU9

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHC1TietaH
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcozFpkc8w
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFve1QLa4Cn
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyoyIlCzl2
counter for a drink.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs6jCL4lXw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnzDafbWw6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG086hSnxp

“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDNb6pPhWU
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzRglJtFQ
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj4RwwqH9A

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9VLIHlTBd

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNMbhvD3wb
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGDEby8kLc

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHdsEtFmNi

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsuLqODSAp
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgFWceFtQD
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXh0uAecb

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtkMemZrxa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6av2wQKwc1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDlDvWPLYF
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmTJKCG99a
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIZQn5RBLm
isn’t going to do you any good.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXSeEQPId9

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgY5tliVqN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFxQNLopDW
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmheUz84i
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwiH5WxMNg

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuFXJ67lqq
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynw2MWmL7h

Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeMCxWh3Rd
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekxbmBFpJL

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOAgaO4Nm3
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9xOtWiyl
she didn’t even give them a second thought.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpGhapwot3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFlBYttJQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVwukouLWf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZT7YSpTHc
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlppWfjrPY9
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvAcGwbbPJ
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKgPUdPGE
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EdVfRPx2s
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FtDxuaL2g
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBmWtGVfuS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0umqBpgUMZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEycZQX4jFS
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq1GEGXrpj
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZBoS0s1q
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLqpMupHtV
she wasn’t too careful.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEl1yNEQeC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SNp6LZecM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87qmGtn0pQ

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUhlf4fHya
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUnoFSTUhk
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvGTRUWl3D
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LPD4wVfN4
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfJE3tTAnZ

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniyoHIdwTp
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx5dldPJ7B
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6dQBMCI8
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfcIcq4A80

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9PgC21M7V
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlxlWnigtb
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTA8lCOsKA
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVrd8XaRx

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDc4coUu2q

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6nnUWkNY0
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCs7C9suyO

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyilhpMt5y

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLLuf9iRZN
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLnZDQMYnt
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza1N15fsla

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBwixNSAnz

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfR8r3uxll

as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvVd7q4HvL

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg94DvukLk
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltr9gdWjLu

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6OdT566Os
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyDayI4Y1p

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgCkemmwue
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IRSBSB1kd
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhyl17RGhn
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTxtQ9gWHf

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KUQu2OkKY
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVK93XUT7u
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3hVzgAoN1
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WdnC3zHld
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT0LXvtyK0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqyTJq2Erp
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWUZ1MBAK8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiVinYdTpe
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExLWGXFefZ
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgsiK8l0IV

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvSjzVmmpj
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Z0oA25Q4
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VL7qnjtuH
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr2mdBVCVi
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh0MW8N2mg
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLfN2C8pKj
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdXO2BBTj8
for it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95GSQZqRgH

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Yfpa5G9x
really needed to take a breather.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsUJzCilYu

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7xH5VNOV3
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj15rhK7e9E
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIAGWR145C
though she had woken up from a bad dream.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDw2oOrdzK

“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I75ffB4wO
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVxubawfVQ
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5zQjypd2b

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowfU5vJkb2
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLIATxZxe8
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLc3JCXlLm
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn4Rp2xCJk
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOcMCFfCrt
herself.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVDLumkGHG

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj2PQhC4TW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaikWovJgf
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHaue8zB3u
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW8bo1C2Ce
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlXf3Ims1T
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HLos9HhNc
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c3hiqGFZv
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzPuW5NOrm
notice her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2RlwT3j7C

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MQRHhz6wg
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw9jOueNK8
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI4og9nPs9

Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkrRmGg4h
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxuWnN5Zr3
surprise.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3XDDfOPgi

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02lwIGSkji
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluBUpUQgcl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm54g6bZvO
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI3mUcdXST
“At the candy store.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgEge5vwp

bumped into that moving shelf.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBAHIoRhQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYgzzscev
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF10FjOAFT0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw7HowK3nd
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiOmbIpicV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24pwaw6Kut
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfRvRldman
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJt3JVjqpo
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx55yQILCV5
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVqzURarW5
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf70QqhvDwh

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaelQjrPvq
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dpe6cIBO
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86SGGio379
their conversation ended here.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwkZQ3wo9P

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvU5N4AyQQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpjp7wPokl
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeFv9JYqKq
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwindCkLOqt
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK1nmlhbDZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZozsuYib68
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTg8FIPwxe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQQPlhS8bO
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWxNhG3E1V
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfXXxnULP
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswdaO4bRML
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssnncDJGbu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh8AM6tsEo
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfgtwSgHyp
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQWKheSmU
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgkgG3V3dt
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYohJfVuHf
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsTzlXyJlT
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvCd0MuqNa
leave, but after she finished her martini.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R2N59NPwI

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8llHRPrAJm
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp27doBADJ

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6E7Bm4xaA

“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqG36EiiyR
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fm2pCMoK9

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXfD7njNSM

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FhO65Uqjt

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0SxgdK84N
Kim’s shoulder.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzUzmk8ea
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYzvnSSLIg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMolWU9XXW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yhz49NFaw
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVvoSPxTns
idea. We should get out while we can.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNOao7sOj3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwKaYPFIoK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFr5f20DtO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yITNvoxrH
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM2mzCwgjj
the conversation. Let’s go.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkITZdcbf2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CQVMQ33p1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ClXwl71i2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70nklZCKLd
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfahYgbdJpx
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaHqX8WxZw
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EjXo3UZU
were able to see Leo’s table.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SmKdCMFQ5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlAnAJDdlR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaClRYWNkFu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgleRsMbyU
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvamyZqU0m
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bxLyiEzCJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84eLmuZdh4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqwbIwsXvr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM85MYqZip
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2trlKsPKv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtercHglIpu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j5JJ1dAkh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfYTFAbnRh
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVVm2nuShV
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvumbvkavv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMt9Y8IrsC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuuJ0MvVDH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bIUlZu70i
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6KRXzigA
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HTI17aG8Q
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSyA0WNQ9j
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VXbbUC0nW
counter in anticipation.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKqZlcmYI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8xE4x6b5W
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tv0Dk6CeR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY25PdtqPQ
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcE57qjyKn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse4pP5r2sY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3IJyziv7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQ2apm3Uj
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjlZlca2m3
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMqW5k9Dt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGoHCMfSh5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25l1A5FIst
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBxoNPZ39i
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwauT39U20
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAezEbcCPd
head.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHAOsl0fBB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKow1NRgjTE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlFNlzJi6k
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAycnwM19D
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOKqKTk9M3
not at that intimate level.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeZO9S4hCf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqDpJVGyo4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCnsozgz0z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MYWQhhfqN
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrsjgbcu4A
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQgkHTRHs8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v6TzlLRA7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSeLdxKPQA
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrm9F2zB2Z
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkrD9VfQUh
he was being friendly to me.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxah6OOFVul
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gh1EDUKsd
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGOJ1nb7JO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJU5zTfAwF
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryu4rmpzWg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V9RFj6uUD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmSPAqQwQe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45jt9oOL2q
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Onu8mzgZN
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwrdlD1Hhb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW19XbhvB6A
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFPRaMDD0h
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qNscE5yhd
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GVYOShksy
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqpLhOnsob
counter.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LyPM3LptS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gfAPrQ6KY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Kktoqe8d
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy66z5LMUd
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQYhhNFra
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz6Nd6pWum
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9ku5PyZr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhm3QZtlJk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWqZw77Sos
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNdEGy29cU
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazewkH4Mrv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxTVDZSXwr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV00144h0o
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIIEOqdkZm
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVGXYjOPbX
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40bL0WCrXp
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQYO6NoGW
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGjUqBOxJj
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI2tR6jcAA
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkS07bkWfj
that was different from Carly’s.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkf8Azw1cg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GTuW4qZ6R
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZHO3kHup
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AegOWFIG1
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq9FI8lWtl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodywxNH3sV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlTuey18LC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z42IZCX8k
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2eo0HIqCI
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mam9KngVt
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzxtRzeyJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOkDl4RCVx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8QoW7tsRB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhuuptVB1
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngUx9d1JRL
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhNILyf1og
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT7eh7cZol
doing here?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYv1N4dvL6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5brqAtGv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zsWQ8N5Z0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Au79BHLBx
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HXLGmepgS
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2b6b7mATJ
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnJ2DspiWe
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg36uHlHuUk
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtWrUccqnU
surprised look.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAFTgDSHtX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPMjHC5cBE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1En7duNyIM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHvW6AlVlb
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhCbPZQwob
get her attention, but she thought better of it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tsXLDlXYK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsXNtekVaF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWno4YBPR3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHkirdneju
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmygbKNZDtI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirTxaNUwCG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOXYeWZy6r
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a8qg4G9pi
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbvhEOJ6MZ
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3vQYKE7uk
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq5yuPQpmW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3EPGcaUR4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnHTsicrTS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4r0S9mkbX
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnPtqWvc4X
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uOdwTe6ao
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y0ejGPRBN
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFgOrKg7w5
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c1WJC6tOw
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnLGrGk7t4
the table.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjhXRMhIy5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzeZB7BCRE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrHjBnJkWR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBJZz4WLvv
“What was that about?” Eric asked.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulYGQMmRDn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs2TA0bRuH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIoTtRsTfZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOCC12psb
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjBMRBQqj
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiDtlarmtW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb1fllGZNc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS6Kysl5NS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13hJBbpSHF
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv2nVVrb4b
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclCWiGxjVr
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzcPvXcyzz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcMdZ7uoFP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiFmuApP7A
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxq00150g
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMROuZiuvvV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqVzLdYBq8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4JzOumQWE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBt64J7q2Y
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qTXKbcyZ1
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd6IHRdEQX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zRGi6o7Mt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QxUROndbW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsOz1hDzv
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64434Y5ELD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaWHD70VIR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd28Mhwrqhu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ba3ck2r4a
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BGJrNFaQL
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hywW6PQya
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsYi8qMASJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUihuFqMs5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2yjXwXX2s
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPUZG7On6
said Marco.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7imSCVwc2

“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7UuS2j2PX
more handsome than you.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIu9hRIGXF

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAmuAaLGPE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4DPCDd6Dc
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S1h6XcXhX
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0tGHPT8ij
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FSbTjCgq0
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErXowOX0Ro
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca8Qeq9yAR
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AiZgu631Q
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYlQxOKQD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP8uKNIy7n
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcX2I6OqyX
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgnADf4CfP
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkClLSILEm3
thinking about.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyzu2DP5Fq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aie7C74pu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNeZLqmI2e
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEM8mR21S7
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ3Iy7aRMu

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNBRaNe7nh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t9Z7U9asb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1zqMEckHl
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B9xQ56m7G
brother’s face.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7b9LUc8bN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDBt8zU3dt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqya6CX4xSU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL23sezlsv
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2aW010LFH
at Oliver.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9EWwJBaz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YgzCifLHV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TNZBG50pb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q7OfwineP

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKsbsNFNHT

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uipn0uwaG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp8GZbXYUi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNrzd1glY1
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKKxmotUM5
heading out too.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ad2iYLAnf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WcNr3rGBI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnvqbVl5c0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbj12DB5Gg
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdziHJKp4Ac
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2lHJnxw8r
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyY2XFpyPK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZjORS0wIz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQqpe01XNm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjMR1pjmcz
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dWntaFNHT
way home.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCauLsc9Te
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6VCfKH7RB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd88NvqLTqa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2b6UwOi5l
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm75SmiYx8V
here.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3jG8z13JT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtsl4aTV6x
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fpRh0KF6X
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikbPLkQD9D
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0GatSbbrF
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxiJgDbumm
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriquEJGsv5
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBinfQgsj4w
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi54TG1Neji
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn8XIelilP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHUU9wXp07
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBlu6cf75
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsUpiHooXo
little longer.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylbGKTln1s
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHovZNqn1J
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHJyng98JL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVqb9DnmcF
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nV1NsCfK
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA0cL7fin5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp0ad8ihzv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCjTMGCZC6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnaYcE3GG
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUJap5ldtn
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk4RVbySyk
get your number, Angel.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12uEKCGewN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv57sVIWAs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBADKZtQhGN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BHg0qV2YQ
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4k71gmjB6
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdlGEVyaOM
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCwTEX4QZW
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXgqvH5XB8
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7VGrKEdtF

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoIOqT5GHU
should do this sometime soon.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ356V7huKl8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SRyQ0HaQm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0gh7MbZtH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGzMVhn6QZ
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40jeUXg7j
difficult.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIw524UTG9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8e2A1aeIK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpjIEPKU3w
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaczItcptqL
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNVPdXACC
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjxTeYacn7
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pOxQSIC0K
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabQ7PynoMY

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62rK005CJW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvLuWudAm
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqeB8jHve

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyt7faWljr

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm554XoruSG
much at all for a while.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hS1pQFOYR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H4bKr9F4U
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLWloPIGFg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qIclgM8Rn
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkKKGQUN1W
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWUrJ68X3w
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkG6qXPdgu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC6Fl4eJB0
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNr5MKA77M
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY94bBS4Qp
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltrecCv2CX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD7CPiesMU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwL4Qrly99
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i4nZWwlGl
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5kbZxeVdD
home.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdFY3lpbCl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTqVFmVE5U
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s4yFW8pNL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7MK1Hamvb
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUogzLyymA
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqWdUx5lkQ
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4o97yGdUG
Miranda might still be around.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9Y1eqsEh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgMsnjhhWB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6hYSwFxST
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefw97TrUC5
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS0abK4nJq
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvsTIHaAHI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwFPlv2DZV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgte6oiQmN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6Lcu5Cos
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpVVeM1gSj
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGboakOVdG
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatLylT5Uce
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J8JqrHFFG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlaOJ6HXAb

cream.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoljsemq42o

around?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zulKzf0W9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojQOXHeJ9H
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvw6YQ3qGU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTcjSgQTti
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcHaqKMt6a
the bar area.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8eJCN9GC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6OuLxKmk7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BIasM2PaR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rvS20frKv
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWGCNFOH18
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RfM1Na4aU
they started to stand up.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuqxzw4sX6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpG5Vxam4D
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlAqSgo4rb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ6HwzazlR
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcps3wyH4Jh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCjHGl4qY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5DdvcbTsT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46AKysHsHb
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk835LK9CsK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfs1XGc5Ed
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nbBEqHxi9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBhpJuLorc
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmatNDQpzf
see.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y2gwC4frE

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREoS2cYvC8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FKVovb8xs
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzbP0fRzSG
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pdgt7uuUM
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzk6VJHssS
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXtG9mfUAp
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSPPphy3rq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL15Objo1IC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85u7GAHn5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JXs59VxHn
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Rgkai5Mz
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPjZlBcoRc
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnEpwJZydL
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfSoWokwz9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3hoiJNuZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWerZvdnjR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX397bWSoyI
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEZz59I3hF
seen us.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW5FMmjEC8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs3vgZQXlh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqy4ZHRMN8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl32IR4p3j
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD2x6OFR2b
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hQJDgEohB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzuNOcIXQX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMvYRhTmbs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jJl10i7lv
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FeFA3DV1O
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn49RuYFdln
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRwwOXVTp6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8t0cjid8y
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSHOR7UEyT
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOlMJWm37d
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZNRHKOSVG
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYYo8V24bI
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x5WmIqiNy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JmX1RWV0L
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BPQouD1jH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTriQXUr4cf
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7snKOegTis
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqTK5IBbQ
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFsol9Jbk
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg3I8HXPGi
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEpMEmx1D6
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6BswTyPbg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbJ7JxbcmW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAw6BiIx1s
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TKgZS4Qu
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhztOVgl6y
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAM1lOGZ5a
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtTckV49j3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9WUgBbcUA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ckbEk1fvf
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTKOq82BoC
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr138sHU1p
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBMFyk4p1L
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWW1Tce9Az
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClj9lXOCih
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HrsJ4fTjm
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOQxCfwYTl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2mu5v6pk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk67W28qUD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUtW903LhZ
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLkA2S87MP
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijh1TE1y7F
this wasn’t over.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgiLELCW7F
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfmtwC8LQw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHwjQhR2tE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1xEs4wcWm
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6yqxUAUAY
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI88vDSn8h
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj65eGctuBN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59FnRoGEgR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76psHbPtKX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9oTrc31aC
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuqOlUIRrY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7w9cmIHx5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4N3PgeXG0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAmzQOBPNF
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6kFP0VDME
favors," said Angel.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCp774nShl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnTemgblgr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJUxBNrsYm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ABBbcDQI
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jEqa6KEQP
they been there?"368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfesz8gQKZ8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrniFUeJZnj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8SfwCfYp9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7BXr6fj7G
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPZYIWqRqk
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VTdcocsrg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7wmFMhdEg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5vPxgEvjD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETrluafLir
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENYk3UtoIv
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gMzUAZ4KT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJNmR7Lkp4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwhFoApMI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyRsiXpmt8
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rYmClTAia
so you've got to be careful from now on."368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ175Lb3KYMI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vOiMHGqXx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMoT24ggdq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvYxCjYxOD
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndXRfwLENA
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV0PmqYBa6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklaYE3bYLr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIo5bouEGT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRUtveSRen
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK0ytVsgFS
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet6lKG8fBa
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYODAQBj6l
night only.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGbbyHpgvA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz44tDoMgdV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqIdodGsHi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9r4nwtdaU
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIXF3Livnq
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MGwmbLrZK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLN1MYs4hc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLG7c0LDu7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdhZRWETv
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt3P2hnwFW
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZbqeAVuNz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXmlKJFyAb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL2lbaepJ8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLSv7iCIa8
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmo1cWtMPP
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz2mT9jNs7
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpWeQjtTRR
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ1ltGsxCK
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv1uxPGFbi
want one?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdfSFJkSTf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdGbadJFQF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8o7b49uPg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5JznmRh6Q
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSLFL1SwxW
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3swZPXhf3u
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9RT5sE00A
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8o2eC3Zv6
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aF9Zvo7Io
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCF22DgUoU
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2sHoGBnBW
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡken3cXS7kY

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6OAQatVan
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFuJXul445
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE9dnCzPW4
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvNzLADA5W
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpAYJjPLzJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCzEZ0IdaA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9l7xU4ZQt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNNWqMto60
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuBT8l1lPv
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMxtu5LmVL
relief, it was Walters.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsqAMLHyW3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RVs1G1Ef5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnccg55Tw2i
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHysTf1A3
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqSnYSkBV0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgkxpzvoSB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuHxUYJZZj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTddWK4HC8h
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp1dAj9xio
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0DPfcbO6t
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsTZwAwAph
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbWrEFc81p
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJrRN7akff
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKjca37oSp
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA654LCkNTU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAeAdLusqo
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcBvQr5M5b
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCiUQmfiuT
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy0pIaiJJD
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIRbskmno9
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuNpD1v80i
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5hL9NP64B
Lion?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55hbs2wDV6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeMggrRds9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7sp3gwKEv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10nYnMIXik
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmfVpK6q2G
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRDIKqEIlv
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGnB0KFc69
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEH3FJLVRJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT8vJJKlSC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ565QsWKTKd
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ZjVybsjr
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtqLZPtWIT
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WQJ90bc5
