“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYgV7MD1CS
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVgWAe6hRx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkcCahxO2i
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmtjQTPPT
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcEyANRFEN
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGxulHik0U

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBZ4a33Yl3
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrjj7xivdH
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHZz0sVFkn
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKghN492Hlg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc0bvHrFli
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV7nmx4hwe
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMMxOX2fCg
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4MnuPME4l
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZpwxVFfVL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1nxy2JUR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLYTCYNwnF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1cf9jHRDT
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX46Gj0ClHP
want to say it.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VFiPeNEl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S1BmencFL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZZUyyWgmK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxUeQDu7Uj
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvsXD0aRTt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr58iqre9Q4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf6B0Iarq6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ0oaYZIq6
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9zEDquLa
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskRV9sbpB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV4t9bYCpl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WAztmE0iV
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztE0dEHFDI
because that’s just how she is.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBGXQDOOVi
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQbFBBI6p2
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpOOsxTJYV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ZkZKLQYK
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSji6CMPaX
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIhTVE4EPY
your fun.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2hvM0jDo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZsku54cw

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUoAHDIQhp
“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Dg6Nyd13
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWTGZ0ZBpv
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH7VcUywVR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBVvmIJaEa
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S6P8DYdfL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TCs13rQ2z
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVlITKkUTp
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxL4QUMsJC
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO9vrpcyUo
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza3WuHkIpH

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ8ni7epVD

“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV1ssuQAUq
thoughts.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfKqK7GQi

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvKHdb21O6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85y32K5vli
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPjPP48LBS
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluPxgynkwi

too?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfc657Sas0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1CPJ6YYgh
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvuyzwinNp

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2nkOfGlQT
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISrAMoTTxI
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Tu7RwYXI
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U9PjPSQek
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqIToL8Py6
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKesJiKNldl
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O30wcJZMJ
that they should join Angel and the others.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxw12gSusV

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH2s7LwyrP

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3r3M1fcWA
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiepZMj9fZ0

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR1HzfXMlE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy25cZp6Nhb
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A0FsitSYK
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMS8qFhsFh

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuK06rXTas

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ldIQF3MV
tired.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXAx9FHqHo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48SrnnXDQ2
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpzhvmxbsF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA1nRjLCY7
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJIB5EoVH3
a drink right now.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3efDmKzkv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoisy9veNdF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3J957Lxo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WIHZkuSfJ
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKiz8aBjyi
their sight.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CGBXeqCWA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5vUyvZ89S
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsaLeq657k
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmru5umRo8c
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0luHxOwInI
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA0ZLbfQSc
they aren’t at their table.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbs70I5hAP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG41gF9RU8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQz1x7Cum
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoaF2bCdKr
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxXAaJKskT
the counter.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgv23QWtor

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfjwAxpQvs
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRkGI4clPw
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt43wp51Xjc
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbMIuroO97
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM9pJPnlT1
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3MubQpQZy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShZq3cdD73
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnMnqzYHww
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRyNGLirBs
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaisQcWU5Lm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXWcHqGghn
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTlsCU1X8a
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIcHlIyuhP
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Soi4DMKlc
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayIsLliVXy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgSkrUDvem
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKummFolmvu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCMKdf8NuU
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtvKL9zmlo
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ce0ySu5j
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fkCkj92Dm
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxjht8Scr6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMkOOe7RWl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJ3dPonKQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKkpCW6xYg
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS5xUw0pSI
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT8aXkNaPt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarVYNboJ5l
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihfKECFHyf
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd49s4CRg8
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7gUwfpwX
would speak first.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmv1aFiyDr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtkmdYt4NU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAzOEYkbrH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICOf9W82xo
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetB0DktSiA
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwomUvMNQA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRCczbV7Mk
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePUGgaPgG
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDbRweELIM
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2nJFycXJ
he gets here. I really need to step out.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oZkgUldhe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNMcskw6PI
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTDlG89V3f
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fi63jT1nG
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtigwuJFkg
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaET8jYiEaY
it was hopeless to do so.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aWb56gaUR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZFLJQ6XrV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMEe3WsiuX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0TySVNlVL
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQcxyhEpm
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6MTPTEE0z
Walters calls.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVedadiNjQR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LnnlkRQL0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5NT2vgVOA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokk3v9YiMO
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH5i3iHMj3
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ferPyLtTL
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4OXEfs8C
minute.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJU6fuQymB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEziUDo2Bi
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYlvXrxl3M
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDglEZPg5Ab
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSxvIpg8cq
door.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN2kXCt9YN
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WNChGz61
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqqP1hVf05
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmsEJ86md
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMYLzhm7Fr
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAglZlkmI2
any moment.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqGJZJQIPZ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreweqRr3gr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFBA2ZLZMA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNHpND7Jdw
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFpi5Y7cdr
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVm4CvnkZ
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pIXgvvoiB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevXw11hIf1
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGwg5OPLlx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4C8IVBov2
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhfDvrnpN1
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxDmv2gVoB
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELZV6afztn
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm8EvPMfpU
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsOxkV2q34

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS8mRPNM0a
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0I1pnQkQj
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NG9oNUnlQ
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH81mNvq4n4
next day.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5NSrUUK3h

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAV7Kf71zu

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieHkGUqvIi
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvUGgewB5e
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcVncfAuFc

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Gw0DAqLK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYCgtxBVq
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV1vUG8Val
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMVaNa45UK
Eric and shook her head.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpZ7g3Gm7m

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5PZYs5Vxo
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyqcKZOFQT
thanked him as Leo sat down.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc5sHMmF7P

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSfkkcN5Mz
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2RP0WMPJl
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ZfrdAzpX
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPed0IKk4L
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQksdkcfKt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT71AOELnm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoBu6b3CQw
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhWDCptcOG
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ncx0ul8L
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dATpsP90v
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzD4MlCYa8

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUuk6DWS8O

“He’s right,” said Leo, finding it hard to argue with him.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3T4MS0C4Q
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtXRT31knW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozxihDeFCA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwKBSKgvCh
“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo7Mi3uhvA
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Oje7vNT5
cheese.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u5z5XIucW

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4arWLpl7uw
they all burst into laughter.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6WwilyiOt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGqDy2gEE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf7vrUFZJC

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyZHy9WksV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJRkpeLYY
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUysPQZf6T
supposed to inherit it, not me.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s4FBikaJd

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SjqwgDYIL
“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjbHMKuEr
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz532Ixqux0

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL9wzP9s4P
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj0zgQ6H1b

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OSX40YJqu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjTHcMKXlu
All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOOQsDHKHW
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGj9qBQcfq
out his hand to get a nacho.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HiQZ4ZYt9
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8FcjMP1z
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3mC5s3dpD
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CcdR0f22u
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMWEaVwN2
afterwards.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj6tFKyith

“I swear, sometimes I feel he’s older for his age,” said Eric as he shook his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NfrYEI71A
head.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lrEAQJUCO

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrucIvsabN
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXCfuMhc3X
“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofFxekpU0C
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo9ORytd6U
the future.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yoeIs3ZSS

“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9vN9XM6Iq
later, when he’s older.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZe6nAvgDr

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzF3tTiIcg
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyUx0f42CM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChbYHguzSg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmMDkFuuJC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cnu5lOdCY
Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgGpXVdlpe
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC28KZZKfo
the statement.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vn72RtI63
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaUr7QZpjV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWIAqsiIu3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A1GmFUZV2
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuADBt2tVUP
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQiRhOqm2S
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBoCIAQSO3
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgke4wRCmN
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6hKQfqZSH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqL1vN5doy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINzdn8Vx33
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbj1LSbQE3
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCcdqLI1i
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ejywgZyZ
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2fWrS10V
elsewhere. What should she do?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMxP1AnmKQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxElhsXrgri
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlxwb3DCQ0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI2DAypMP9
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s7c7qG5C0
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4fY9QGnQm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaXh1SRdh2
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEglmBDQTAv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0JM4yBLb0
“What is it?” she asked him.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgQyqsBkIn
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUno46RDSV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5iM0CxmbF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElTK3sNwvA
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy50ifacKR
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz9VCeJ5tl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGL3WFN2SS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU8gPONNGv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6lKly2phT
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQuYpo0Op1
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZpeRFcqsg
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDXkktRCe
necessary.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUMbsTcOiL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5CpBdEVy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wSyPCOqxc
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSjfpZTGOJ
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl2D4XgMWU
know.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluO6UTYVsj
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6FkLMGaDA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqbQbOm02c
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g1CAh0J3m
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGaKoFSRh
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bh129G1vS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslguQaBiLH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmvIE6bTV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0NLNvT1hX
Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyl0c6g876
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX1Nyeo47c
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZoqskttHO
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkiksyN22m
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvt3TwiwVC
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVuLHHzhBt
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yjSIKBoGx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16dtFHt7T
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiVuGNOJfh
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Xf31TRUM
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjKYGgNoD
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfkYuLCvoZ
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoNKi3InsZ
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjcmx5nmXy
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBh23B6EKx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL3s9SnZIU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZTuCDGi3J
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveEgYKJN8M
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB2ySzsD2b
us.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ROZWqmm7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrYY0LKob8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KKt8OhA3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1WzKaSIug
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7p4mqtl9V
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqyfGphdg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJun45YTDf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovBc2m1kQe
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ZxKraKc4
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf2mZjzmgU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yHw2NYIm7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfHGQU1pfE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMTDSjG3IU
Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhPfqaKjAN
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0rVqQwXwV
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTnCndTgWD
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFEc2ImygK
counter for a drink.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEslwpsnWC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZZJ2VD48h
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlVLuxVzOt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRZ93lCouh
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLj8QlG6dz
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4TeY8sbw
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoy2CbNtsB
has.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8NY2uImqR

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2uSFRKWyw
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1QpDZyibP
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAXE073LHd
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1L0xn0E2M
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMK3faGgF5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dMHdMA56R

“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Ebgslg6D
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4E5oqIfhP
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuPY1xRAUc
already doing right now.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7irVCPZkfs
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKjYApAThd
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEokzbnqrQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdINK7rB0tw
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q7VQcSRiJ
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpcWhvPfBz
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFsPc5Z50e
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHsHBJiiy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgfZUiLFHh
“Like I said before, if you want to, you can leave,” said Kim.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPw5uwH17S
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS8n2lqmKE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuk5U2jjni
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E2lOnVmkv
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwmC3tmao4
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOVf022NB9
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtors15931F
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqFo6SdHhV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsyYUkFGD8
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZbMZoxcXu
just as jealous as I am,” she said.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnwNB7dPDB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupF1UCNlV2
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSVqLrAo61
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGIl6ygeWN
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDh8hJYIVm
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaDMOrrgUv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghlSGb5eqe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjSTpr1BiL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SXVXflyff
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzG1un4V5d
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV6Ny1vM61
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAzUgi9K1S
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ALqvFU7Ty
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah4LxWljyq
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI6F1QIW71
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj5yhffsSR
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTicXY8tVlY
go of him that easily.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pfzeZNBgC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaKfrsKpBU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dQHozmIBS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOr0eLKMmR
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vNnQpOkoO
was going.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYVmcZkWij
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MshgIqxqm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lnse1xUKq
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmBEH0ndyu
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROthjP5cTt
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUztFdI5m0O
isn’t going to do you any good.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSNM3jSovs
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKh8mNsOSa
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxRVEH0lJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmifv1B5lD
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1qVMWAwzg
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TjGyMNvp3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9gVZn2ZSt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Kp2c7edv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwE69glLeq
“Okay, after tonight, I’ll try and let go of Leo,” said Kim.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhuzqxsuBD
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvYWNM8gKS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyiC5L3ba7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlAWeBryEw
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwvnITS5Bh
your promise after you see this lover of his.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKQsBJrSOY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGje2pkqOhI
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh5Z3gJZVp
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMCoqA1kfC
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwHKrh1GVd
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQyPlR2V1O
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QL7r6sy9f
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb96XYCelcO
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai6g14E0qq
“But what if we don’t see her?” Kim asked.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAw6ggbzGD
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAoumfl9tF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAp9vHJnss
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGPoWcKNp4
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZlziilmrj
us some drinks.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7AjX0eEfV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeqk25ociK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0urdXRphAT
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzHW6lx7cC
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpJivXVJ5K
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUnTefuz8y
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp4S8SRj7g

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFFaf95bx1
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmaBRDlbSo
she didn’t even give them a second thought.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjk9ZBHpwc
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfF1su3jb8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDeULdGzEK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuZY0K25kq
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlczQSdOv
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4UU3YyYkO
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3FvXGQ9S1
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yypMkgE8V
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa8YW8g2sq
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkEW9Y2SoE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe2YppUCaJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioevVT9GDP
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJclxELt4
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmeBJUYX1
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKG92WyyvM
she wasn’t too careful.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIbl9P1OWf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcxRySrCIZ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgCZdmnowq
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRCY9Jd0jF
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C2UueJs0j
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqHnfrrW7x
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVLrAMrmQi
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O0gBMMpKd
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtZ7Bm3Zwm
things.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q0FDzDEJy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegrrR2wEGe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9csTmk743u
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSafBS3Nipf
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmAascvXvm
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkb3fTynyv

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenfwJExzxN
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMMYOxSKnq
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhNrwvTz2
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytCaTNYr8o
her face.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSvZYiOsyl

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDDByoWPrg
never to drink with him again,” said Leo, concluding his funny story.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOfQ3qynfT

"I remember there was one time back at my old college when I got so drunk132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76LYTJMCYA
that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBufqlvZJTJ

a fit when I tried to sneak you back into the house. But you ended up singing132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqVHcqvaw7

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl5oDNVilC
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZsYHk4U4F

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt6kF0I0iG

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29bOs7JLeU

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YEDvjW0YG
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkhwwpS3Cq
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xk5TNyrxI
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y8xvYUZb7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGxmq7n8O2

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOI7eU2Rfo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3bF8J9e6A
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkAhuLoEMQ

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOiBuliWDV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEjObIGDD4
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59py9ITQkG
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE1Vy86o9D

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb18bEirK6

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35SlCPasl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjo2J9RgqU
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2Qez1JtA

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMh1goRqKU

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5sMLbzvc
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgF5vHzoUy

Marco.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLO8wBJO2K
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRshExHQPnz
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtPSXkuOMj
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ679siBDb4R
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LOWDyYEvp
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4UgCYz7uz

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVprMadHGCb
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPb3ZKiv4A
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDwkyo9gQ6
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZkyxAi7G5
sincere.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08srDJ6Myf

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFVIOYgOoH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLcl28W1yw
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhHSI0D0Pk
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZJRcSehdF
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5T8w6lG4j
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEGZQ7UuJN
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFHwaal8Ih

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTovvxstuP5

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BXRURdKch
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw30YBQ9at
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk22OjSnYH

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLNITW1K05
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BoEYEgmgI
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyFLW55x0x
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVu579LciO
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomuxTsybPJ
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM5OKJGdKg
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1F7NTw4Hm
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OTcJBcNaS
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoImQbN3HmE
for it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRDgaw6GMi

thoughts.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxoLOk3Qhu

“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZTClvZbdu
really needed to take a breather.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkbsmGCyRG

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDXS65vrAw
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA341KdLVr
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JV10dnm8O
though she had woken up from a bad dream.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBts3CbOYy

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4PEVLF1x3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywY2NgCHpO
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3zQYuoU1U
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF47s0buCb
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDDZgdNPEl

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpGTgoUY0y
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXGOKo2adY
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GRpcSVb2o
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mr0083z8C
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QxaVOWCwb
herself.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8E6bVgs2M
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrC9FktwW5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtwQLmYdci
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaoMzxnFPK
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkekOB02Ae
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN1wqtk8YU
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ecDHrG6J
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2kIKJzo4g
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItFofTGIjI
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17CzNQbWtE
notice her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kuy3M1oeE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV9T5y17Rp
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4onieJkqK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNAEmYIRlg
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUOXBNR2v
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fh5EuoY1D
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k5GSxb1ph
own business.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMsgyvcQ6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0iHmFannU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRrdc1tGd4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzgKiLFebl
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW3OXg0bf9
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnChkoO3ztV
surprise.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi82CdLJL6z
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL5fIGhVaS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjHgAI7HrL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN076VYkaq1
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoX2vQsuky
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyEao5q9kh
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvZAr6EsuW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXyQKhjPaR
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27oikLEgk0
“At the candy store.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjqVamwALQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8kckn0qbA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrSfa1mAJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS3KutJkEV
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr0DGXVirz
bumped into that moving shelf.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzPYo5nUwR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUJ1Ncp65I
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85tdJ8Ms1l
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ALYkD7xqN
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gD89SpqrM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W4TcwVqzR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZIz7RAZ9S
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH1hMKEO8T
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FPYkE1B7R
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqUAcvrywO
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFupIXQcYw
forever.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH8OMRvX1d
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlS9dvinW1
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU86sZL4LL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKaMr2hDfE
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkVcCtTmpH
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3sWfKI3UB
their conversation ended here.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgMd9fwc8S
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmrsDkhvVe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiyuSfEEPM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYoDbFdKEL
“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN57VeZrBiS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpM8bpDWOR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwXllMGr8Y
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCCK3dsb8e
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp43R3zsDL
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOOOI3SKOa
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGOIazQKb
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJVMK1Yxg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaUsVdA9Zc
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkSsoSZzGt
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vgWEhxWpR
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAywJCRYsLY
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN7x4sqHzr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU7wUdgMa4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdurzRo6m
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufUtHlsPem
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzOvxUGoBF
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwubsd576fS
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWnOTGtu9
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRFWEV5Dwy
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03KX5f0IUt
leave, but after she finished her martini.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDDusaeezP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64xJK2oYs0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYvA7o71Tn
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm9W4cEPfL
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QiIXE8Oiu
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtt6RMxjOE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaHvnVebtV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16WttNYHGC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVTrdrqhs2

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6ig50WB1
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TBMcex5x1
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyiHvoWe3k

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtThCL1y0UR
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRKuYhePMS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkfI0pCmCr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf1umR6CIu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw60nzwNHO
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3C0JDvlgu
Kim’s shoulder.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOoD4rcY1E
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lJ9g66gXU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtIq08Fj4T
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXfT7i2qtR
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpILJ6XDdVQ
idea. We should get out while we can.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1DR6sna2y
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDjxigAmkM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogrOUekDF3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1uuujnDMK
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHmw2z5tKx
the conversation. Let’s go.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zMWp1AIbE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS4wWcki26
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmTbUfLRs
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEP8YoRZKa
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFwSMlz3DK
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFr5czzwbf
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL6vDMiGz8
were able to see Leo’s table.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejOdEkeWgP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJztcAJwG
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrT5MrNkB4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23UYVoCTOt
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Gs9nfxoE
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9lvdSEExe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqPMEuo7Vb
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jazZSN7Bx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToRhDfwMg3
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDbjWOHwf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XTDnc3tZL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1JRkRa88F
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJvW8r8UY
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpSbWyr4en
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgcNrO1uLc
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu4NdBd08x
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq0maVKyTk
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H9ng1TnXi
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n7P7RwJBZ
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3L3LNHFKs
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRqOJhoczU
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvH5IuCs1
counter in anticipation.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqCkcgdEoP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzuNrn6CNt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFh7AYscSX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkyf0d5ahp
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM8AoBfPbB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5lgrYlC7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M8FOM14XC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbEPql0n4z
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZBJI1waj
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPu4nL1b5a
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfUW0Z7GUS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpD50mEX6x
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qxiou2ISM
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDglIPsdEux
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvHFnWOreM
head.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWYWpDEfy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWObetNIe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iAglJ5HYZ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnSVapGB8C
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHO16gFYtW
not at that intimate level.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKls8rmpiY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTk1UHi5PM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanACAhWWOv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkw6eUjQDr
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ233Hf3ZVBm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZleCsagHHu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0pT8S8Kso
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gVUS0Y1G3
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxLDyQ9VYW
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIGpWLrsmf
he was being friendly to me.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfGs2lAGvr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAji8V5avw
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfevyy0mjcg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw652joVsB1
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaxisYV8Wg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd9DTDgigf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbolYMGPM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5AsSTuFqN
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPadBV4uqHo
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID8EBQdCyB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89r6QyegnP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCjG2TQ11d
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnEW1KVFz
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iT5pqZywf
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4bGHBaioG
counter.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QvYbFVvxa
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI58y6UHYCY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdv5GayufF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmInZp8Vlw
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8R09hjXuQ
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtKY83Wym2
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsctKSlL1U
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTTNhvAoqj
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9xlfyaxhv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELrTHs1ujX
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8dXEDe5K
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIk4FB7VZ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3KU4fcFcy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdiR3UGK6A
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68dnD6r37C
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsgkIBR1pw
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDTxnpPJ8t
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM08CXLMCIT
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1X15zX93g
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g5y0lHPch
that was different from Carly’s.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvk85HXw8e
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtebMp6fzL8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZixGICArr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4WGpt34A6
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wp8PDAcdX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDDZ0fVKuR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgocPCxAdk
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOkYNnWjWf
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgtlpvKq0L
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSmRVxFlSg
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOYXKQbBD
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e2eqTauD3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ULhmZ8HQ0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0G4t3v2zK
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQk2QFV8E
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g7kWzBGvu
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqModj5F0M
doing here?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HU6ZnsTxW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYmFAUExKW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmd5gcnNl5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTiuqBcX4U
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3scOaj2lRu
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMjjscj2U2
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM8xKehCL9
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZVJjqzXNS
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H6N6TlmzB
surprised look.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25LbGJBaaV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCjmjrh71g
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP6aTvOTc5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc8jcb7cRr
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcgHTTtK0C
get her attention, but she thought better of it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwwMA8Ajb1
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kku5ranYn
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKPjLuKBrS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocmlRobWar
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64nV8yQjgr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEowTT9cIp6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuwm2FRIBC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhjstSSSzT
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdScQdw2zpV
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVQ0gktilk
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6LPnAiFcb
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgi7yRBkDQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH7zYnI9Ve
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMxRC0mm7T
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREaV9336dX
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtlLGn11cC
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaP6ifWvFy
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2wNVjBDtc
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hXjYYViBS
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYpHlykbh
the table.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTn4iRtUhX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7NtXFDOV0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPifccpeyC
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg3LYz5mj7
“What was that about?” Eric asked.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTcDsYIk3J
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdlnC6Yg7Z
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t2H2lswC5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtfcRxZybI
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhL0fV61UO
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeRYiLLK7y
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihSQCaYKEH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQjrsWvJn6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAepQEquOqN
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rSqvDMiEH
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3FaUuTv5p
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pct5mXx6S
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqBpiMwPYl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbuk8vP9Sf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm7bd0c5IO
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkbBKhEj60
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCULikTM6U
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KkcnvVJCL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9myFXbalE
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEIisDuHrR
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqavzoqE9aY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhOryIjkjK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4xDDFeXsW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhnC4AYNW0
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiETlZXl0nu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs5hTsQ95L
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjy7RyQDYa
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjK9fP4ayP
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xy4GnW3Z0
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7cMaDU0x5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODgTpbEicS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkpbzxsIQN
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0keNRvbYW
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB0BskzVG9
said Marco.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPs3lqS7ns
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoOktLBnk7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJM0hBXaJw
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKIELcFAp7
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dyd1hywHa
more handsome than you.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdZCHXYb52
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yhUZMHq8X
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH5oXDPz4f
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwewiaX1DiX
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaXT7g1lun
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgokkgp4OMB
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi3jGeiMdU
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCMtROI0u9
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEpQ5IQuRz
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfprxlKxYF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAiWl2fykY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvJ3g9dArP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC7xhBKILE
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO4K0oHyL0
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Diq6Z2yH
thinking about.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgAWHwf8PU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqu4DCxIiH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVHgcqhWt2
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlYwE9urd7
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHgg4x4cIo
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxqZmXK0z
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0a0ObwSyv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz0ovf2M1s
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDD35uR3sH
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ZkKiIvwy
brother’s face.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqZCanAxwe
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSoloFm0vX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRdmr4g3Dp
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaF765YCHm
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RxG7G850r
at Oliver.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAK57ECgHI
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC8UDu2oID
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNotAm5DJ4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2GqOSg6sm
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi27t4rrdC3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw6rEPVD4Q
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUrSfGUFb0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gyZzN5fJx
“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJDyrfHY8B
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTR95FzYQu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvrGjvb6IK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzk094Fofe
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IqrPgQcFJ
heading out too.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVg8cWtRS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP68beahwU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJeJUNgBll
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjFcLJchIN
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fkq9OM1Z1
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rCTShq6IZ
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhbCfFRpMY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3DKRqI4sK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQGlHu2kdX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNT029Qi18
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP1nvoit80
way home.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZqsT4rYJr
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdckx7q0TvS
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ259tWL1WnG
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMULqOoos1E
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG1XB9HDJ7
here.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OMPliWQNF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPApP295I0t
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL5C77XEuf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcssdb2l2D
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn81baaa94I
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7nrOCVwQh
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbDU3wH3iN
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNIAkMoC08
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpPlSsDne
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgfrvb84fP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7LHb5cyxP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSZPvhQIlI
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3JvC9oBub
little longer.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M9uLdS9oH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv2HRLrgAN
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGNVqOoZbW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYg3Ab2GVC
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsfmFCk59n
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09bzBRMtGc
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP7ZxbmYUp
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMY4LUz6aq
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pnOukeIGb
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8YENRygLC
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjyIyFGSbt
get your number, Angel.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTTDcab75j
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZPQB9hgIJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IxlHBbbnP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvQv7vuqAU
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7awO0RGQ6
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAV2UPWGUA
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ6zVDgsPr
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Ljgb6SQB
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI9zEJf7a8

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmK6jHJO5Y
should do this sometime soon.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEOJ5tAebx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDu9VAQkrX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2MbcpyJQM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XZxPaRsga
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP73X583SB8
difficult.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzi85nckwa
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbVy8CMzpW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENj63iT9Zt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YQnwLp3q
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDAl8gBHVc
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwE78XMC5w
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDot3sefan
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF3A1YsR4G

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgH5g8gHnA

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WpKidV0MK
much at all for a while.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO7xMnWw2r
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYttUJyd96i
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4nEdWd0A9
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnK9i0cXRw

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49XdgbjRoV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLILK31Vy6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNnmtXIQy6
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSUQeufF8
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebrR1CXA0i
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0nsuglRc2
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB90mRylPMD
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzY4787WNZ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpx9YuTjcI
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxepA1PewV
home.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnAzUnrloN
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJME27Uyd1l
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMQBJMkK5p
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtBaixQmlo
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RNkZSLWPR
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTupK1SZNaD
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXAZjcFDX
Miranda might still be around.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBSQ1Ia6zY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWLBk2SGnX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4wf0fSHzm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs8DT1i66X
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVJSFEB1jH
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaCKkQTRqf
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwY6b6E7wg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMG5B4lTGj
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqabWTWR7q
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbx0nV2uPO
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1F25QaAGc
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6SEmzDBm7
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LPR1m9QR3

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNRauocFgB
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbzWu8Tu0K
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFpTU64pIq
the bar area.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuCuFDgOqL

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1f1OUkez
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkg5LDUnob
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykOxrmS8o
they started to stand up.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EbtoiiaXK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9XA1oiKYY
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFJT3QCt8G
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Qb6VApDt
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTXrlF242h
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUq5WVL0Pl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDdvVfGn9x
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBrSKGvQyn
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfSpYxABjL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxc1qDCfm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi93BSRmAXg
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLSgLZDwUq
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ487KcBJxHE
see.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3PU8EjPXt

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3jJwMsYva
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqAE0c7PXq
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQtNdnT3yy
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMvVNC69e
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPm293L9tm
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMJpHRxilv
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vabTXHUTi
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqDP8w95Fx
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZS5BQ1BNl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyS15KLUOX
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7QSGT5jeD
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7g1GZ7ZgN
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsYt6f8QEr
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9jtRLaHr8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qBP11Dy7
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMKx0je8Za
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUKAurqDmF
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JMmlleW64
seen us.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdxuPoCpOj
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezyB7IaKtt
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkbUWOZaJo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX6V3c2JRR
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfpNfsx3h
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YWCTYB6g6
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpexx4mrYbL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEJx0X64VK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC2hXZuQ02
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiikC3AFr4h
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAymUFk45qP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa6oxeRzB4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3eyMXQ7e3
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhLLnQY3jh
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2UrQ9Hb2C
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToz3CMZY5a
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LBiz2130Y
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5GA1FXms8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOREx9Gwc5
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIY0vxxUy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4uXYO1zuN
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDqeaRg26
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD16JZ4LlX
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSzWiL3Gt5
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ZB6WQD07
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkaXErNyop
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa67ZpPcrA
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJa5PKel35
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdw1pQHMIm
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPewxdzd7
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqZB44sdGb
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEl1w7zLAH
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVn1hQ0lJb
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiCLt4j7QU
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxSdcktOE1
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2B83tWEmR
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo5kinpvN8
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHq5KVW2zw
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYvaDMclzo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaon181ktLn
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts9WHOj1nD
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiSe7D7WoJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCHqWoR730
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ2EUreEB4
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXX1vyESwH
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJV0Pku9Yr
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XvAccD6Kq
this wasn’t over.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ep8VkNSK
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0jTp3knyD
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45fEUas7KR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqiivePkmh
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4h0xBIiiH
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOUnifysB3
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkT4rVWGgh
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4YcpaSlSP
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVCvbRLCf9
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jd2pn2OwL
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpPEz1Vv7A
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCw5nR2LQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPK0WBAxrj
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXre9dLRtSw
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs89Jg8WA4s
favors," said Angel.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG35Cj3E3f
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83wb0KjhzR
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIuKrv0qOW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruIFiFVY9
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNv6yZbDAS
they been there?"132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LSnYMkDL0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtCGXqUqMl
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0H2dZj5Uz
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQfv8oMCe
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3mG5v0ocQ
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMkXqpfIvW
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtiLgZBbL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdl5vc7e7M
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxegkBGas3V
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYdn9rDD9H
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZKCxNNL6i
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6YBJJK5D
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9tq5pKi9Z
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp96hN0dxO
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseWlV9Bx3I
so you've got to be careful from now on."132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0nLknXLEu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwlFvf3E99
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG04Gns0ao
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunY1iYuYQG
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5agYwFjL7
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xSvk1aM7i
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHwGlFo9fQ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRpI2ES6q1
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ3yowbE8R
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4FWoWQAjT
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91r0aU2eoQ
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23KIB01XS5
night only.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmXoZCyVvX
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGFoMwwTE
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTk1lDs98k
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZwrmYB9X6
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBYB12uzaP
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELo3Sd0RF
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ZkFZjvHv
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ez5YuQar
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoXXISE6xM
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdLprSNFtB
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4D2QpZVat
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lgZ9yrNIo
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxpXBg4m8
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqRCC3K2ou
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftwltjjEYW
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXattdHQu3
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHXyiHNILH
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAY4nLBmx4
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cvzY1oIGM
want one?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYFlgQWLQJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoonkcgk2u
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO1UsfPcql
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Y0JyVQfD
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1suadZ3NzK
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu0UCx3kZY
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnn1G1BqVu
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTcUACoqk
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzPyIE3Ke
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjpiY3gwXQ
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWHzfoPklk
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2x8BxqSDM
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXKjtFKMgk
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZwzIJ2rqL
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthWeVCpAa9
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8SfE3be1T
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYlVRscUWI
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTaIM3xxJz
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdQ3WmOIzd
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkWk4EBCGN
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFrW0Y7P4G
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4HZvGdGSJ
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l52n6IuoG
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iRiLzfQhG
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB1YrNJW41
relief, it was Walters.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8pTwfDuqc
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhGcdZ60ts
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBxosy3TrT
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoo62PWjmv
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSFe1ltrAu
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVhC4FtTes
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99q7z950DV
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXujkKpnJ9D
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXbjg9HJVn
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWreBuqzod
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiydqyvFxrO
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tV8HKpmph
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEw1LS3b8X
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMh3xpSkL4

132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iL8yZZo5I
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w5s66FdnV
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObhO19uuJC
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVBh9iIZZ7
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB4NYKfaDY
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAfxpXfr7c
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXjwUCkQk2
Lion?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwBGE0bMLi
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Zzrq6HMy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXcAfrpiQ0
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgesliCyRGJ
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHav1BuIa
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu2APudGhp
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavT1s7yTXK
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP38sW8x07Y
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1k2ai9Psy
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQvDeBvJjJ
