“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3cVlzGVu
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF53i0jQ1D
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR1HuWwXQl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmXTvKJAhK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjta6o4HEw2
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwroHjEVvGY

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ovKfjtUCT
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqxTjYypj
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcD6bPigN0
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tkWWvEwFL
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL0VZJS3c9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmjVBTNI0v
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fq4EQ9T2
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ar9LZNUWS
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE4EjW7UlL

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPAt8p00Gj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumqmfv4gsU
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8BpOic0zk
want to say it.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWAVIjUdIm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e2BGgiQjn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMA42q3kDn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SZkd8gRGI
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykwgnf9HQd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZdJbR4yFP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxMu6YM0s3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hYqaUZfnx
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldhcVoezRI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFewN8XgLr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ixCqWjNmN
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBF2wRPI2l
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqwEHXtGYp
because that’s just how she is.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7bQLydNN9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNOgZYCY3i
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNw1erx79U
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1sSVUurTD
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT944GXYuwW
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GrsZ1tw7w
your fun.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjP5tN1Oyd

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd3obFYIsN
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSrn8mHrt4
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxEOjegr1y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7FiYH1MKT
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSplEgkjU3V
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgtqyUreJ
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUGZKjq1GX
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYCWwe9UZ
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftfwKG4PzF
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ZP4zCFbL
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDk0vLI2gb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFt1UPxi3x

“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzHOLm5sds
thoughts.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZQgjceTdw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIn9vIlhhD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjuDxVcH8o
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBSnJIINRM
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkUeJlOeSf
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZJfA3GNdv

too?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH6zIfbwj7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51RhArndSU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8C9k2GnXE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN5enKhiy2

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0VVYt8KBr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqZcyxUO1l
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNHn51GMgu
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxSer7cEIX
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEOEwvLnrv
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRt7lYKZog
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphlxizd41K
that they should join Angel and the others.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O1gc4nBPe

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvFQuUtmY0

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2z14q0GsV
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGdfcLqhd1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZID4MS87z
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCThSDfrHc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUVnrG307o
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPpdC1izN
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetAYqz5d1T

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr83NpxF3A

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91kRuE39JA

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2JTzLLef
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MRnm5odWd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHznxKTtphY
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyuFGMPVXo
a drink right now.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle94WbfZbd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJWi1FHPzI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyEatj4AbW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHESbZtve
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow3KvhKnoE
their sight.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDarnWH3rCc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATArs9eNOf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wI3SshbBb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHcJwGQq8l
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33pGegpJY9
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPa8cdpfQK
they aren’t at their table.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGHlJQ99M
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA12Aqrnui
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmn0LZpd7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwg0TtZgN8
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJunNaORMYO
the counter.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ehshpxobk

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmmt2mYanc
Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcnhGm7HYr
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rSF4hD2SP
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ533hpNFbSc
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrvVGJkoj7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3FOEWPEe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3AegmJn99
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3j0CjsDI
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxsRbLgvK1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQULfiCeYy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH5kMX27j3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMKEYB3sVa
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqhLYZFiE
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeSRhUIPdc
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv954EFKHp3
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTq5KWXrLe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ990o1329n0
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAd33y8ZRX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkLmJNPHBO
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtntBO1wbL
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7jj1xrEGf
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUpjchG8Ou
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAgNZ06tvG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iiyWF0qVb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7e4vVBupe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H5GIvVOJh
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgt4OgcqHM
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQruobvcMga
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqqqEB7HyR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjrvNZ5xV6
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu74bDHY9x
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkrMWnti9O
would speak first.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEn3SL0mKq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV3joeDXu2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLSImIu5E4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ024eZJUucD
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy2Zj7n5pF
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxrdlsg7ZI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplmRaBPy9o
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSGo8wQWcR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWsLVgeOeg
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvRt3fva7K
he gets here. I really need to step out.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXlNr1zo9j
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4zEbtIcm7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhbRoqsgRb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AdoA2WODi
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFrbIS6rwg
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqawG61HXi
it was hopeless to do so.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGGR04oikz
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AVX1SwnCK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXiyvRapkk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkxZcpUzM
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2r57ddn2X
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5FIfrZvB
Walters calls.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1sHmUw9Jy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SNizFJkQl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2uZdPx0M1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN5OPdawRX
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNAS8B6dD
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYfbLuedj
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCC9mMADbt
minute.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXmCUbmx8K
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSS0T1hMDq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa05o5yGg3V
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhOAzafnUv
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3S6mhJjN
door.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStPZkEyB8M
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydWyc79dZS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaFj4eiRzj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wW0CIIA26
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSYPrJ0vxl
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfFOjPqOBw
any moment.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrjXYC26y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf0DdqAo8D
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVdGw3l28Z
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5NZubYjmI
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0svDyLbDd
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcxgmECS1e
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYvLGCFLrO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiDsnkZhrJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGaOvIBE0H
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrYjNwhMsO
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS2N3Rpo9B
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe3BehSgpD
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9NUgZaHz9
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEUKGPkaP0
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR8q7JBX0Q

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0LYT580cz
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGFNv8pJBw
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhcmiRbIn1
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsukqaBckN
next day.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEI9CrIjJX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4m7k2tbs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ672tCeDKNb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQXpcFJtXU
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDGhxkLU0k
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUPlK44Eyk

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIpRFWhI9V
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBZYteivTq
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgLe3kKHPB
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouBF5ipqqS
Eric and shook her head.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVxSbnQ71L

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwHWHbRJI6
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHSjIO4ccX
thanked him as Leo sat down.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGae7O23jn

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLSzHUvxN
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqmzKE11l
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bkumej6rV
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU67VyYV9q
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqDkUMI0sd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTEwOIkUe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyjk8GxBG
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFroMUM307
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbMetgyd2e
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07MXNYTsiO
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovcmHQwehw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoODgIYsc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIVqnJylUY

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ehDSpF4O

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFErvaZkb3y
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FimMQvO2c

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsWAAAik10
they all burst into laughter.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNeBCEZiMY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzuzcXANWb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qiLuG4Hlm

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GbjW6zCZT

supposed to inherit it, not me.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2d7zOns3V

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5l6VMJlow
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsymxpqQVV

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsqdAFqgof
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnyUL58O6N

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbwYEzhFSC
All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHEgojdEij
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh4QlB2eTV
out his hand to get a nacho.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48rm9Xug30
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC0aVcYp0C
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lasCVFkCB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbHOEJL8rs
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5HC4BKCgG
afterwards.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl09AjWTc4F

“I swear, sometimes I feel he’s older for his age,” said Eric as he shook his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrr7nbDhos
head.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQFCFIsvX2

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT77ovLutq
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJGcR2EvWq
the future.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblkXTq7HE

“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J0hWty4xb
later, when he’s older.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc789UUHkzk

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I7cFL1Rii
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzpCo3tlf7

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fxub2xnN

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPXA4x4dYo
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj9p2D4fvq
the statement.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjPU3FeSHj

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgB8jqz26O
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWdvCgpIeQ
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuVLMR6eGe
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCfSzVl1f0
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXZmK1oWCG
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlTS4y1Ie6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j3XoACGyv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGVw0CGZKC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZ0o3t1Da
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa6GEZBVEt
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvIg3SAcsV
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ZXsdx0fQ
elsewhere. What should she do?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO4BKtrUNV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYmbZXhi1r
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x6bRlAjpG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPjCYGF3bM
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLPebWvTX8
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Ku9HPipv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpaEypELGS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XAExf8pat
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVCjKIuFxe
“What is it?” she asked him.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD6ZmXEGoH

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel0a76GXH7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH09HHqkjq
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx98lwhpnL2
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPuEJdCGrf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHl1dPsP97
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSExvCuQFc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrtHFGdlIS
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmjaqVwsrD
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bC8Bdn3kc
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeB5ftWeVe
necessary.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSOW3w0WHX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdW19ovVV6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfQmkIKVLD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeQ4PuzTFS
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF3uz2DQxq
know.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aMc2EWkm3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kualxGLjb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBS8pcQXdK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhC4zEDSkD
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDqKXmPCG0
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK0DT5vzBI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUbic4g8bI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHv5hZRoL1

Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dmNzhsiPX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yo8hpmAEn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu8Ce6lQua
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyMh0hFI6B
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIP5XvfhR6
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwaf5QUX8P
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r0eXe9Ujm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5CIqd7WB9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0BVRRk9Ws
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey6UFFR4ht
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ5kVeLuaG
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefr3ykBR3j
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUSfP1PnUY
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi1TyjeDJP
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls5yiUm2Rp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJH1AzKPUJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMIEUniAr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBrgYSAXRb
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtbnEMP54
us.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0gDWopgIz
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34QahHU4yU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsat0SWs5q
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoVtcJmaBd
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArPMjqolyA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDH78fMaJS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXFGicHjoa
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQKBpJTlA
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4n6bRb3rE
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDceeQK2I9w

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokvbdAxySa

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr4s6jdBI8
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm3jtxW69S
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuENluXrO
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqli83eik7o
counter for a drink.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfvesKy5J
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa2XJGhV5X
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfqhdaXLaR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCxud8VeZh
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1LZFkIF6t
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQe4ElcoDk
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbjCHOVL22
has.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykvdjjIIUq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UcCbqIzVX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyYGB8BwqL
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lHKXKYMc
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch2XhFxj6E
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcSlsnjUdN
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWqaHhEpo3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJB4UIofe7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCGQsJ9H9
“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRH4wNYYPy
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yUc11LqN5
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwwvVz0kkB
already doing right now.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVarvjvC9lV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuCH9FdQZ1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjUyHERZJf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYiSesQYZF
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEMBwowSkP
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHfuaJVS7j
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONMs8rmI8q
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs9XYtokRh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmf9UlNWp
“Like I said before, if you want to, you can leave,” said Kim.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhOG5KpVlh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHSYhf7c7q
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8lZpGOaaS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEoe5im0zG
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaH8RaQ6uy
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe44xjXJ5X2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUlpnPnOt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgetAyuKqpx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ytGychaA
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVRBIIRLcc
just as jealous as I am,” she said.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAuIUNNC6

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tENo2VIUJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEy5uopz6f
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNzUFmo53D
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3gGE9U7sm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Fz5NGoR1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFF4dwcPoV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8sx0HbXLR
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TxmIFStD6
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXzXmlCWrf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Xk9oOavl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BW2AQu5nK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidRL0ufT8T
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIvt6LRbA
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK51RF1RPl7
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6hj96uIo8
go of him that easily.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIDmwi5wWp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHhNz7zncR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz6xVrESv7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcP2uIrZfC
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjAigWqSy
was going.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoQqDEpUT6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFNcuOqT2U
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdK6SPg8T7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUD85driQY
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeenqInbOpc
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhXzwyhgA0
isn’t going to do you any good.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfYZjb4Avi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg0egadc84
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ575LMZ1oKj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeWM13NSrZ
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1z4zX2Bwi
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Jb7xyGIw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7jukmS19f
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rbVdHEFee
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pca6loPTw
“Okay, after tonight, I’ll try and let go of Leo,” said Kim.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm68vhsvvL

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHR8RYpPYG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v0g1Q59dR
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMWiD64OD1
your promise after you see this lover of his.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXSRGMGvt7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m7bGaLcOL
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYscA3V4n2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfPGRSL1ho
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79yw2mBGeg
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4g7XQuec0
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwR5YWo6XT
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjjwUtHTbk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZlwOPuwGV
“But what if we don’t see her?” Kim asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9neoZkh6SH

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTS26GrTcH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQUmSSnPqx
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEepsqr0nIq
us some drinks.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5W73UGZ8T
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdZbCrByPY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Mu3QeoMv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqzfCF6Tik
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQygy7Jr0SP
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91AXG2ObN3
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuUZbuUxLR

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvmCYaxwsa
Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXaN31FBgs
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0i6Jmo5eb
she didn’t even give them a second thought.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAe3ZHr3jj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyysoavzOs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEcaYnlTzO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Ek25S8Lz
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSUzXsdBHW
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqAkESv36Q
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghDE0qplX2
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4NL61JwuK
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJipaviwoF2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlDruuEulr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zofzrxNdr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PPNXuxQpJ
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjqpRhij0V
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPYHOheyYR
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPInwA8927N
she wasn’t too careful.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVLf1KICmd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bXZ7ueErt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK93ZxxphU3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nWpnNFebT
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1vRGNuoeI
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr720GFPOr2
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGySZjvd1R
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYArF3kb2hx
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4pa2xA2zk
things.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg938jHko1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpoK0pDcaE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQRZD6Db3u
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn6RNyZ3Gn
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhrb3pj6cU
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B0ygEuRyn

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtHxl6EcrH
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF1jSFQdnX
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uHSeAa442
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdYrkED3dm
her face.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnP4A9kxML

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdmspI6MoA

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNMirNkOWp

brought in many of his unruly friends. The party turned out to be such a blast.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCrOTttUKT
He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUHLD0DFtA
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRRdlcdfXV

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqyH5sIWe
embarrassing moments when you were drunk?” he asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfPBpLOs2

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRML6Y0f8CE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5OqK0i56d
Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuDcdKmMTn
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza4fcAdgcG
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal3YpR7fPU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2uioQoa1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJjOvldwwE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5u4Ew6oUe

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOnUe4WHMu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrH4MYFsei
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjPPjI5Fqq
on special occasions.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE5ZjflJH7

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc63OUwQZON
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnxh9SlgSf
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijAHk26mUq
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmkoEapPla
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEDjnguoH8
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5myFrN0GQ3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN9EAFUCiT
“What?” he asked with a shrug of his shoulders. “I hear people who drink such133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WqeYupeRH
are considered classy.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkISFliRIaO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TcjXRoP3f
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBQPXlULx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTe8V9A0fA
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOp8LapRKF
they drink,” said Eric.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bIoQ0PNdd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2uvnOr2Nf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy1cSNrfQK

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULflvzmKGi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68tKXV4B6l
Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZpM2RP415
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4jw9By1v5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1HmNb14aw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYdoxza0GJ

“I agree with Oliver,” said Marco. “Angel is in a class of her own.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UyVkygCnF

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQcTnXJvLP

“That’s being too sweet, don’t you think?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHOXpKKAqI
Marco.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjxoclPBHW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrlPuiOXTk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnndm7Gr3k
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfNdiBoR4
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxqILGQGNu
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHF9J9IMR
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ckjl1KYK

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q5GN2A6Do
Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWkfcLLKp4
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2VdKHVmDh
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwVqnpELYR
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMXmMgtsRL
sincere.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcDda3umqf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnWSzyBcVl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0affSwY6PP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGxndN0XB
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlxtllQetA
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf052yYbKZ
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYSwq2zs60
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCBlGmIZ2y
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrXBuMElu4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsUgpfkd2c
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehK5JhhKue
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY51iZagdyH
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssHhDaDngp
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t8OMHIgGS
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F9U7MNM8Q
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mr8FKMTh9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv7IVw1xab
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6LcPCfNHP
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Caa67huYd
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQaeKXTDSN
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH81ENaVt0
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx4X0EzevE
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxghhfeDNP3
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBcLYVhSu0
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2oi3vt83F
for it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3iuisszcD

thoughts.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCgxEKJkiF

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP5DbO3ecu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutmxwQVI3p
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFoCA93S4y
really needed to take a breather.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky7vBu67IU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjWiy5UlGB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Uelrwguu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gnTFE6pd1
Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3HNm07Q7h
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGPWczKfG3
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdtQ2PUp4H
though she had woken up from a bad dream.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkD5ZAehvR

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl4hhbW7Ey
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLjTB8CC4z
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoswZG9lEl4
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7scXAYWfh
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcDinYN5jc
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenvbki6OD8

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasI32NiRsb

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96h0xOFSf
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sS6FUIJZU
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uraC9OF4z
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNhZpyDCK0
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYA6d6eqyl
herself.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jaWRbKlo
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyDKjDsUmt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogxrBWlQwb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgHqHrUUX9
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8izN8WENm
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6rhJuFsEk
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm1QuHTmiB
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnU23Hiitp
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTma0vCnVF
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kHIKKQygA
notice her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6uxLrT1M6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgfsHisMh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOtypK25O
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCIM2f5lo
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKwztMTvqq
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxUVYv3sBH
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOagVmbRVYg
own business.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGDlPZGCgY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKhnD1stWx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpGaFYEjKk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDYEaDpUZ
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXJYEWkP91
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJRJZKKjvT
surprise.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3GsoYzv88
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSwhbibII
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwbLC086Kn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm9rF6WsmX
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM3F9r3zTk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56eZ8UiVxq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLrIxrp5DV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVFOJnv8n7
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsBYHfFfx5
“At the candy store.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MDqHqjMsn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBguLQJTLLr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNN9kRBvic
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N6uUHgkif
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbTdBMEZ0c
bumped into that moving shelf.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfL0KPtGId
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNuqksLmeG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBR8YqLpWw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWszAnBH3r
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuzKGMrXop
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2codoYyWj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrvdfYj2do
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvnnW8BDqk
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLXSreivlq
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaah5oHJzJ
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZq5jpYemE
forever.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWUP1m9cdl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbluwk3Ig1N
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCFDu2wn0f
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8dARlRC3C
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSIkwyp7Rt
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFJ8nIaN0W
their conversation ended here.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNah9ra0i1Y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06PypIdVOC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8JVT5pv42
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Aii4TAvq2
“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxySa6zau
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCEKdSWsrB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbBhEjSXaJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwsrY58zYz
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VM1p3aIe
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy3poVysaw
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRycIDPKFi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWvgSOt7x
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX8V65tqag
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDD9onhLsS
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rywzL8DYb
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8wGPqJjg1
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCrUv0SClL
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbNxvrhpJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSWRzOayqD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5T3wTpmtv
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkk9C7lvws
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EtBzjEFZM
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnGNQswB9I
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLkbavZrIG
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYIH1raYR9
leave, but after she finished her martini.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOeICt2oc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqGbLFtC6l
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF8g8jYkUj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk5Q25f2U5
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNkw6z21oc
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCjjLhgfLO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDTAWSpSr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOnBbbHC6c
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pZfA8Wwd
“Thanks,” said Kim.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzxgsuB5if
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPhSXmdiDu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiydXuDG4B
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpN0nITMR1
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUA6uTvC9y
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvvMThp8hG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLpbRY0Q3C
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kpEO2t2rg
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2CVlLVrzY

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4gtr0HfYv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyL0XrGNvN
“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rapuSVfl0
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DtJaL7zKk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwVXJWyA0
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP0XaBDHs1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADDnNVJge
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GrY5DdX6
Kim’s shoulder.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkriNYzROx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM2RqjFelU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRlwyaZ0MZ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkrPDL5KJE
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUaSgGPt3w
idea. We should get out while we can.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgWpshSbAi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eKA4HMSgd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1hz3BrqnR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqnORbGB7c
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCkAvKZhDM
the conversation. Let’s go.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQcguobXQw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fwxIedamE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBpg8sFid7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9INyARkAJ
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5w5b5Lfoz
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa0SUVwBOJ
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsOnk8BTvs
were able to see Leo’s table.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvnqlPxRvw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSAr4cUzJN
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qgf5MBcTY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w3Pyyuqjt
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegenJjISZS
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp7Jrv4QVp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNjJ8xxdRM
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wDwAPoRpp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nNbqpUTzc
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yQA2Nggzl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVyv1uoftx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtRk4n0tj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8poksVVFRP
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl3Yo1CaqL
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50uZIW3dqb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNkErlX7ZW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK69XJ96hm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvzWXRID5F
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEpOXjeO3K
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GhvYSEoZk
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYntT0t0ZM
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2zMAN1Pz
counter in anticipation.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0VPfEIyLE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEQHfygcNd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iLNPy9ExC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r1awicr9j
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OMioa1Gfx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUVTSFo5X
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd63xRX0vM
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByeZ3RAtLU
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz58vnf2q6O
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rrYbr8VLC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYcOQpOlrO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZOE4R7iuA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuA2WyULIK
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1KZbg3jhN
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjRpa8UH8Y
head.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGIlLuf8uu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20pymmvOMG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGepOrblvGc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIBGIRQXKG
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwHFiEOKfj
not at that intimate level.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ133n7WE0A
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJFyZ9hLol
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDM1zSBG2s
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6jeg1J8SV
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK2RviDOxa
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkagHDCEclC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgTnr0cBpr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Hi1IXj20
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObR5jqRl7y
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdqpqA1AV
he was being friendly to me.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHF1udCnc9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1J4foltfE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwDdt58MY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr9EXmPgTC
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V61KvApmJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08HBCBwP5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ1agOXBPq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbGqOszUcx
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRPriWCkMg
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKmUpj26WC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9FWswt80p
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkqC9yOf5L
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLsoo8XZ6o
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bIwba3UB3
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexIcouKWlI
counter.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLch2I8yfd8
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuif4LgwCd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfZPylrpfO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ474iDhYt8T
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFDVs568MA
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfCyXQ9eyE
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlEiOjrCwl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrsqmYmmYh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooD3hk4O7t
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ok6G33p6
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0waOJdrSuR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbPLi0W70
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOfOdUnd7j
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWmMFW5K2g
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0cw0wnCmG
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxJROOLFZz
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ROGOLMmGs
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUAPZ8aiy6
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFhO4pmLyw
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQXRUa2OEp
that was different from Carly’s.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgoeqEDnet
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZkVTCbkco
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTZTRHkAwT
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23GxOVh6ka
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRAoSSNHN5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kWZcky30B
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuy6SILJ2r
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSggJ4D3OjH
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI1K9zKR1X
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85soybcsnO
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz2a5Y5wTe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo4yuuOCqx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtPMz9FfCV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoV5M6Bs1B
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQWvDy71ms
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ2S45OSHQ
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvpI16ATMo
doing here?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCL4GxyGZq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1yCV0MR4I
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz1VjPTOJG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP4gG0Bv6f
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EXTFEhAa4
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYEgoD3S4Y
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfAu0Gu1QX
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5JUVSxOSf
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBMQ8zmo1
surprised look.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yGYuQyZlV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdm2pzURno
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWuuraXS9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXolq8EgucC
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nsUHMJOyq
get her attention, but she thought better of it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DqAhc6X1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIgY1GwUJv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDN6i1wH4F
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiQYeUSUgr
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpARSuruIi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lyRfUAd2h
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIY8KXeWEQ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkQNjzvIsh
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RBWZPHBUk
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVS0bXiehQ
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK9uzs28zb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipNG5J78qe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtPOTfiMM9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhY5eEGQuj
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudYw6qYKmy
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLjcC3scxf
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLifVDpQiN
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlVpKbOSZo
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV9QlZUSKQ
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYNrGoDXN
the table.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8X8tF31Ap
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIjAQLWmG3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0cRawj86D
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK6YZG0CpL
“What was that about?” Eric asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQwfzD3j4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSrR1yZz4W
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8XwAVtfkn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7JKePtnnB
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ996Nwl23Eg
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CgPfia1dj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFCTXo8of
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N4qog9Eoy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawVmp1UU5R
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFhkb6jzx
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXztPkoNGK
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcuqgOtiJ0
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJshmIOUP1K
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OiNimF9AT
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIxgKXN1an
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3H1blawAD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACxPY40oiM
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAELnM1G1SJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQPzDs8IIW
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTDpNlfD6
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4IKo3uXQX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DIemLr6ri
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfDx6BR6jj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLhiLumzwJ
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKheoavjXH7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD45z8KcEj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVPRmkSaud
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDEUofNXdd
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAm3bIPNLJ
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFnGbHfdmx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2MLdc1QDv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfkMol4lxQ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOeXIJBaBw
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFUD3RJO60
said Marco.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPpf9ihkxd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AhDN4BXQs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWmdXu8RT6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP661atjZ5
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7IIVaeXZR
more handsome than you.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmci8DSzCbp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTwQfC5qCu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wecf2U7RS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwHFg3lYDX
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Q88gUK0C
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZOCy9IuIO
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7FuOrG8bZ
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5Fz83H0v
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPwzEykLg4
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ4mIqPDH3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHShqb71mwX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmtZSDBnGY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLhReof1eV
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XJ5pNFMVl
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pYi3HD0wv
thinking about.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BT7u7K25x
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAiMKvu0fW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHARnh4t8KZ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64bSy4Coec
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69G98G1XfX
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2CXziLy2F
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHNkWnGMfF
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls5wCiVSVq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKrJbLcQL
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOSyIwf9I
brother’s face.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEZqKsm9Kx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqaq95Iwit
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxtOdBNUU5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlQSWWh0Q1
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqju1BWQf
at Oliver.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh5RU7KnWi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJLYrmBIjO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx3lGjmbGo
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoO0nRzDZo
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnhQxFZETK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhyJRacRB6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg70v561APi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBAiCO8Pti
“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQdgrKM74y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX6dRDvTNz
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjTP3FMpPH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEZ1dkv2rm
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotatq0PF9u
heading out too.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNwOaPwDxu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakyK4R9y1W
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNrABiFc12
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG17zQrkCBW
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcRBwxpOA
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO9mvAF5n6
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncxCTbBrkV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuX9xupheb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7m7QW6td
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQFN4T4lPZ
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHsUlMWvRP
way home.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdbSwDFCuc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vPAoWFR1d
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQyyPEXIv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZAOgXjB5a
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtBPh6EvJ
here.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzSo6ofK1w
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ8reNGqtR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zZwbJH7gk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RrDglUny8
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuPDM6myZF
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmI8Rq0wFs
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP0mC1r62F
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqyr81FXB8
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeMZ5Taxpu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3U8MGhcsr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnZvzR9BJU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje1J8DlAhQ
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKYtagGZU
little longer.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ejApzzJID
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwquGK7q3P
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagaaRzbM5r
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBALWMw34j
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk95zQvqssn
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPMcu6tHxO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuyqTT7edy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aINocCFqt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQYbDWgqsd
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP4OrhPlb7
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERvpfWfBQw
get your number, Angel.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Urs5HSsZy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByHoKZmhII
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKN2qVPXBh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqot3XpK1z
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TVUN0hGjV
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNf6eQ3X9n
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZQy33zAL
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRaozKH8Ck
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qty3N0sXU

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQpn15VvBj
should do this sometime soon.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhOLW3cHRW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AIfugWnRc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamGqlR6exu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7qaSAVFP1
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPccllAKbAX
difficult.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPVsLB7aQO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauF5f0aGqH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUMDzRpAFQ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnymPn4miV
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VqTpyG05L
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPz8wwrEUi
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlE80uFjVJ
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV700pjNAk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD84DtxVnI

“Marco really likes you, Angel,” said Oliver after Marco had left the bar.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL3cbLjoSr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewo02zrmFp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeNCC5pEl5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl9V2JMsKl
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgNgwWZo32

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSzXFJtMrf
much at all for a while.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKo0oZyGZn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjaor0hF1L
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wO7xwCnjl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCk3GgspeM
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ676x2svFap
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CLj3BzB74
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2mJd2Mkl3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyltwkbzGA
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt959T2oXun
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5eTL86HqQ
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32yYyL7b8T
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqWDqvYId
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45UEiIWBfs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N9ouvJo7u
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaO32Ccxbr
home.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiFNoIkCOv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdFkUsGU8X
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWda0M4SSZE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCkWZhqvrN
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZiSZwWVVg
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ831Q2qLrXW
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO4N70Odht
Miranda might still be around.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zeXKFG2ly
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY0ceqTxrt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQfSrprUfY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5MsalchDS
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsjCaxsmW
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrANp7wDUhX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrO6CJ49zO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkD5HxUqYk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvfKqJdMtD
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPJqi0mWX3
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCOOJnXakU
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKbnoZaEQ1
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXDb8tNsv8

cream.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2erVZoVH7

“We better check out of that room and get our stuff then,” said Eric.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb14Bg3UkO

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VfB1RD9dE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreIhGw884u
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYDrB9wPbh
the bar area.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DyoftSoZA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiC5rvSIfI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgVB2u3Dlh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZkadOoBHW
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs8V9Hldvg
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ty8ZvReG
they started to stand up.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofNAGT8gPq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjZ714aVMF
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziwhofY8OI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXFQ9aYwBK
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbobZhbcFz
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgEMT4cr1U
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR4J2eNTQr
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxQKlIXpkV
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPulvbAGKQ

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m718Rff3O
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyvePTiUly
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULoLSJ6qRt
see.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXiRZnoexU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSCHF5EZ2i
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13xPLfrABP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc565VjW0Yq
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypIO5rFTJH
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzX26EeJPR
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcPKC7SXwV
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwvRR5hLpy
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxcndKzNuy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8mGFPbknw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdljB5tulxk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR94RIHfsFd
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzomajcDsd
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDeiBePUq
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENSN7RgfPo
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSC2kfIVF
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7g7QMBowo
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgj5QYQmB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZCI0stp2N
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4pi2J2mr5
seen us.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgghen04XR3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK1FOXHL0Y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUA0HyDrkv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqln447ktl
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ1v4C6qAU
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ005NK63cAq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQBqmYt0Sb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YaGx2s01o
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSID9re3T4B
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cgASQ6l7h
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpKB2vnl0S
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27xpQnCSQ2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDz9UimJHN
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN8bsZicYi
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9D65KInYW
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh28imDuaaN
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM83cBksIyp
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl0abU1j2y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H6xASn3QJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7UTN9TBoa
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH42r2rFUZ
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3BCp3YiYZ
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELWJjbfa1C
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC4rx8q5nr
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8wolyWlFf
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0FtaQBdel
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmWDClxRb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8KvLOwpmp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQy4SCwjkR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCZOJYqa1
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWXB9wFsNw
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc81UWpsvDU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykAwlCp74m
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXDk4u18e
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf45qxOEIP2
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdno9LqL8K
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgRpQOCG5Z
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7068bhBmC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TqA8umXLP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwdA5poRu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UDqDhAUQD
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XZwO0UonK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykM4StjUMW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDSDB1JFFI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlhZgVyFLW
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigsjk3wUqE
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBwM778Plv
this wasn’t over.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8EiaNjQjm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouL1o18Dfe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGgF7X4Ezj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1sgWkQmye
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe5qq5LQ2S
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP1x5vKWGO
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl5Y8BKEwn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaFntUXf9f
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0gw07LFWe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoTvSOESHx
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BUZqeU7j1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVgVrrY4A
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM8VE4pMh9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRrlUXNj54
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeghTtSu1F
favors," said Angel.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4LGPIUfGR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDfjHg1nc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QJ8N7ZLTC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cguBS9Q0G
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufzPQbmP2
they been there?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcuiMZuGS5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7ys7tB8N
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lu5Iqtbw6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfpRrIzY8
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNEsh8MFPq
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5YHmomiIf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUXi2NbprN
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yO6IgAJOH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthNcKxFpDN
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UXDNwaMKO
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2zt6SXIYF
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqba7hl53r
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ivrWsn4al
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtkFxhBJFU
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS1L9gPOpz
so you've got to be careful from now on."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX0gwQTj25
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWak7kiu2L
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdGrC3vq7t
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnQfjGaJr0
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQXNm7cHVu
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkCi95AJga
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQOYqD8sC9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOJxrygnYZ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhc69SZHFp
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI1wsJ3UVC
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrX7ImuSR
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbYvDNBcXG
night only.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx53rgpGcms
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWkvGM33nP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOp77Q9Flq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVz7JW0YpX
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWHJyebt7T
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3HN0rQ77v
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUViD7Fde3H
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4OoNIjxAP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI6FsakiZg
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjCejC0ffa
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI6WGNNHOn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCa5YAhswb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hahvxIrJp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7NsaI1jrU
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5X4MaQlQJ
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiqovztkEW
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQAuPd8Fs
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh6j4yWBHT
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD56P6dXVa
want one?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWztlBVWB3G
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h92cUMXin
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N24892G22
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r34BXgCLV
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ288Qkr5a9B
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbiZLPjJa
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsg8DYLfil
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw3U4kPRhj
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCy2hgs2dB
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfF0PwOGYX
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWHJhikpyH
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU2Auxlnhc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdmFTmiQ7
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrVWqytoLK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJTFzv5WBU
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLx9xpatoU
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt68gQTm50
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8234FXuNTU
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihQqAmDbIO
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwXcojnmsf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvXMPYFu3C
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HdKCfpzSb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv0SLyPfrA
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd4Dlxv3Ey
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmks09ttJp
relief, it was Walters.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hfN2s35Fe
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqlXdBk0tj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7l0mL8AuO
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4jwDwMkS
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1RNfuZ4Ry
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX6AJnyWWu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE8G1csbCR
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDYKMmUGx5
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXI3EwV8c
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7j9kcuNBU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazOY2phWZ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaooI1ZBvw
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI9hFrbvfp
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX1KDT4J4v
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ds4qFOEO3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrRIEGJ8J
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ65wmdtuWq
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQd6VKf7Nf
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT20Qcvxi4j
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCL8pAvMLW
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH9MtRtCZK
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQSKQMXLGY
Lion?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm6iyzGlZ3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBKGFguOJ5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO6OAizf0D
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18gHG47zkN
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vQz4zpDpS
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWlN68g3sZ
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOTmCTYHu3
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT4hpgDQs5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdJJOb9AvE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA7oXFCMVW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66AimssGR7
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfDWW5qN0f
