“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JwQgUxNoS
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJMfMTInQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxmYHL6PTK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDKzqpOMFf
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUe2jmRbD
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELfy6IlVaD

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsBT1HHMEZ
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd58qFpPKR
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRZXW6xK3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GAHvet1NE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMRrpwgOLu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8pyl8STN6
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe6froBaX8
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRLbtWJPeZ
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xC5fEcWMq

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimRk4hLrwN
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6p9nB8qoJ
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWolDbzx0I
want to say it.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4c3CgTkpk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJzfjpXW11
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2duiHTtPKc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv2KDCsKbw
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRBhVp6HAe
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ3odw97UR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKI6164xuw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E1SrmlaUZ
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX3C1duRt6

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMPFVeNOjN
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3EvGxTnXL
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFCpbZA1Kz
because that’s just how she is.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Ah8M7IXX
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPcS06xWKq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LYysntras
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DrKCPlTlr
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNutsdyCgZl
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2xNqHFzBx
your fun.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pRCH6EXN8

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqXdjeyK6G
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZleCANBaa
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPOeJp50B3

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEvFsvV1nP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FXqloYhC8
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i2YnXl2Ac
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUcZEhqcHM
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lTvVqgumH
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T8qd9QK9S

thoughts.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzIwLarHqY

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qZiGE2yVb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbivlLhGD9z
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf6SSmsHzj

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXSd1VLCwC
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLdgbsZhs
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVjiUkXWTe
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ9Phs2PbA
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSVhIpePCB
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKwV5SowV
that they should join Angel and the others.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mRrAuVbkb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPL4FRTl35
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoUdL9Aag0

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzICwhzKHDu
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB7ZERuxi0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkcXxa3Zp3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwlAxjWW0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk3iIJXkGz
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qsIkyQFaP
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuY6QFdk3m

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3AbbBaRim
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xfcbQaBRf
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWLYcOGyz
a drink right now.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv69CGGhT6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6panFRY4k
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGggHlW21xB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQLkUCJdzi
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun4anHUq2E
their sight.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd006S0JNEG

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvABaKJcgKo
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZlJNZ20l6
they aren’t at their table.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTByqxJW7CD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzJUoKTLws
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVUI3td8YK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Dz4IKVLt
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ZRID85wm
the counter.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRW9r688E

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmimYnWy2cA
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mN28AT4t1
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF9XYWAIUA
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCt05Ko21t
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzUTOaiuQT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQB8bE7ztt
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1l5dhblFH
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4lYUL1l0C
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu9EhbJSwj
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yTkKwXULA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvjKXCXnMt
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvWht8BmTp
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEZlji1NfS
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc7hbc1uZg
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE05pnid3p
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOlYCnxOD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQBWcFTc3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98MpGla8G3
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoZpe70iOD
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIViRXQhS8
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kDiL5fJJd
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0f6PanpIJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH2y8jR4O5
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUohahH60vn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcriEJ6gBFJ
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKetjahCOs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFi6EL8nyI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5e29s5eIf
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeruBqjPvAB
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu78kLWcUw
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FeC5HuHa4
would speak first.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHi7ECfUSI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8swArdjCzi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZV8pOjcR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4eSgGM5VR
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qUdXUZ5hB
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxbhiJJBFC

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq3Ii8QvRx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmgprKg9dN
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDzFcKsbBb
he gets here. I really need to step out.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRjORaZf8C
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXHxWcPxWf
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqcoFSeF2k
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHwDeOhLtK
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIDnaIkuUS
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWugKpxFTN
it was hopeless to do so.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ySWi2kguV
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmabXsjlPi9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksaCLrHWKs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHlgYwHgMm
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeTrsTVsl2
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTFploFBww
Walters calls.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONnl9yAwX
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJLA5vrD4n
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FdODeQQX
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSH2UE6xj9
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAhQjcl9gn
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaCIukBTnO
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LepZVvubM
minute.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR0XhL9fsi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQhMgZkr6K
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDOvZr68DO
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzsK5DaIv
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycjjhaWGjN
door.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm3HyllMhU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsqUiHvczt
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNwACRklsM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe3CXxQvLx
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6FssB75Hv
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v11MTSZbz
any moment.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccfPlj4EIt
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmwzujemYH
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9jbwGPE3X
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1LLUoUd3K
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLU5IJDYBw
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqUgzqMHR5
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTQopW5MFE

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9P3k8lt61
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LJvqReMd3
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlHbZyHEX0
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzFpQboo6a
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sk6MH5u6w
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wqY6dGW4w
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuTrd7ECwD

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlTbC5d39X
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4IoE9ZYVJ
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b91fNgEP9
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzld8zgEI0
next day.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLbJj4GIR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QhkA3jGxq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vBiAvnsGk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZIwzLfGhu
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjKFS8239k
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhMDMMPcbl
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDcdqlHQso

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43rJf46tvD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqMjOnPTw2
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhbanlJgOz
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNgzgLNGGm
Eric and shook her head.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTop8HTvpz

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgtxza2V78
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFteWLU0Zag
thanked him as Leo sat down.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg13odePitx

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxYW1nje7v
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXfvjTlLjp
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOchwgepf5R
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964CxCpHk3

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoJvQ1H7e8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9E45fkwzN
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWe1bnR43m
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37u7aKJ7d5
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqshEa9neye
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkwOoUUSNL
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxE0GudbiX
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlOteyK7Ud
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNojJJoEZLf

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1HEndeP46

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6W55REcgx
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqVATcYi1
cheese.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA3WXy127K

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhySNb2pqrj
they all burst into laughter.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKPIojwm9m
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE8u4NX53v
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63CGGvbXKM

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtes66qIOL8

“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeVVFAseZY
supposed to inherit it, not me.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbnu37Bfbv

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitXBG2zT9
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZnVVVtetO

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDiKB9E76n
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4hiHK2Qm
out his hand to get a nacho.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdoE9Btcjc

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRUlyYdDYC
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJDFy0f9rX
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMfwggWuD
afterwards.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuIwle4m3X

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6GG5eokOy
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxwmzG2umr

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJgcS3QvYK
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkSG82FIK4
the statement.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWB7iMY0Ch

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNbNI2ViL2
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjrWLRrC46
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLEF5f5yeE
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqJox3Qehj
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1rAS9E8zI

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvO51SKwuC

She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQB6ZkhMw
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6j6j1pA94
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S3c8TvNLY
elsewhere. What should she do?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC8Fldt9q5
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViN2qYPEZ6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiCQ6o6rYn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz2hTVLnSU
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyaHhBiAX7
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUo46DMQjl
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xeRXPELhR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HA8TTAwQi

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jYK2YMPSu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOue0hmQQZ
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXYUIDGIEw
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aRZ66j1Ob

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWGoR7kK0c
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzzig4flY
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCVpBKN13M
necessary.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpvqWvCxpG

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMF3KuHgO4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBGoVYVBrt
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ4CYsjTcL
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzb6eM5OYU

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW311CQXeuc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkbaj1gZlV
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusjzsm9OMk
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwZcC9i8hD
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmI2Hc3txD

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9hmkco9AW
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU1WfLXi04
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKog3mptXf
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuYjf9eS5V
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1A2H3no63
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE9BrYgaMm
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB1ad1OTwp

“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjcjPBfnFQ
us.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLj5XAnzMB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz2cnZHtN1
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBjn5Szely

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2bZgpsup
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJwsUCSOA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YWbIaVDs3
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQhvrGr4Gu

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCOYbb0CP
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy4jsLVig5
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZryGK41UK3
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbXIwdEHoW
counter for a drink.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi1A7duxAT

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiq81Xk4AU

“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5yNTrTDcU
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKEAgP9SbY
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT6aqlzXYk

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6VB4hTVt8

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTTgmJaIkA

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTorkB4eSj
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwZkxyMXp

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSS94mqiaJ
just as jealous as I am,” she said.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIQcJRKSOZ

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadJaf77gbI

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSAdDeSAzP
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaoN7FW4HG
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wd3QbGfTs

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2MuDDDuYE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8rtDKD8hn
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV7NBmd3B9
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVoKs4H1M3
isn’t going to do you any good.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxZ7ewNsio

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8oZRd7IIA
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fg0EQl4t0
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4yZ2WPtdw

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpzuVadMkw
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBGpGi0Qfs
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaWUJ9FELs
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmdu37jbvE

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VzcuU7FJV
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd50nssIEY
she didn’t even give them a second thought.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0odHFYeO2D
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yc2dEjp4k
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYlojFcqUz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESKkdWC04x
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenBtZ7etBc
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj2YIS1uzA
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tLAT625tC
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnKTN5E7uU

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUPKiQLJxi
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuFA0GTOSn
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FrDpuVeJ9
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE4m21hdwH
she wasn’t too careful.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUh4gGKZsP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCsLr5wTV2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp2vh29cfi

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrha2XwqeW3
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnzjFwJa9a
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKlqH9sTW
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4esDCsL0WB
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpysxOmarzA

She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2uNQCRkIO

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsWvMn49Zi
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHkR2I0OI3
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN0tm6rgqX
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkBm0NNpWn

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAu9sj88QQ

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58QNIi0qJF
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59TbYxjWpw

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQekMkTbMN

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccEHJOO9iA
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpLQkFejD9
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLNJD8Cdi3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlwFs4Dx8Z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiytaxonpbx

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkbdZaaIQ2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y8w43HDmv

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00KT5AmTgf

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lQFpRo6jO
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7dVVylcHI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxGF7Jvqq4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17NTmIqqCi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7i4bz6jji

are considered classy.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1G8W4u6d5

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjMLvzaUMT

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdokLOhyjQ6
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggZcGEdll0

Marco.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2rPqJLW0m
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6rpDt30WN
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336xbRpkNk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gAFDXkscH
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDfyolkACm
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ifAlpnGd
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zu6LVHgX7

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXurPdzs0UN
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Chn0Pl4N7
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNAyfXehkQ
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNpf3y3B6g
sincere.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kHoyQKXm2

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqiz3Xkl6l
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOnROA1Wba
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FBW8kmzjT
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbVFj3tj1X
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8p1ay9gA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaU1HSZzSc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrNrqYQBa9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AAUZTe1DX
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaFt03kIYx
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5wMheVS7O

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15zJw8MXNY
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApfQpXZItp
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjpHakcA7w
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVbNB3Ewg7
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHaPMwMk8c
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJilAzcX7Pr
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Oq9jq8J5
for it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCyGaKu2FR

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdKSOlAcwd
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPkFlp05ME
really needed to take a breather.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WFuBV7dfm

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilSZAWyLWl
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW3A1a8zQ2
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IDl7ygv05
though she had woken up from a bad dream.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCJllk9YkS

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQDUDkAm65
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AZ9W4U2KO
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphGfGGyiMW
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRs9MvLWPZ
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdlmgftiDX

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FmbkVVs7o
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiJbJHhZg5
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzHarnKSb
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74c4gDC7E
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ6VIf9fV1
herself.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8S94KWidx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2iQ6iOIpW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUzBreVlBs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH44Nwof29O
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqZURGdHFs
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9BYMOL2dy
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTTlKBQ3ac
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBhAQX62C6
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjODh5ICVg
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsiuvbXnhG
notice her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOg07cCBFi

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsBFbeOvsf
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzekSJWOvc
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsqqMkfDwN
own business.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxxfefPVCS

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzotQvJDfZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt67p9A5PW
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S7ki40s2l
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUohy4rShP0
surprise.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyq6I7s7zm
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmUfvzilr0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrV0wbCsFC
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9esxfyGBLu
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxChP3ecGh8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQge8gJ80V
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JOaHVxiku
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFuj9zE1S
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSnR4ResVk
“At the candy store.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MHvQlBpyO
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YSrtIDEYP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWQHONlmAy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXptfip5au
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK0Wn3PUiL
bumped into that moving shelf.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwxrAx85nw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2ED4Yhpv
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNUjaWAbQ2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2yqZ1fmEE
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyBXZj5fAm
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowxD0byTJg
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuIQqAmriQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGRaLEdYpg
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTHD6PiGW1
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBptfY1pO
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLrYoVuIoP
forever.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4kkteyg1e

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqMW6s08gs
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIildeN2boX
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsknADNUqxH
their conversation ended here.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0ZPmNZzVB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWDC7NjZ21
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1U8nCzFM3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXC05IQaC9
“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z74rjn7G8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiAkBXKxMU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFe3Qpm64H
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDD5UUqgOJ
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnADumpocQS
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoW18upE1L
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCHzv0lOkn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudFaEImsCa
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLNXaZjSSw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhttXOH7WXM
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BArjL2nok
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpojXBsZsSs
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19SbqIkcDP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TsZhmifuu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj25DZr9jU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7mVKteOWE
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB7nS5rZlY
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy05qHNOXjM
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzGQ0kMIYp
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPASaXyibkE
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsBvIZaOfR
leave, but after she finished her martini.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPUzqSeorz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQanUKJNXkS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHjJQNdIaK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XdeRgerL7
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZISPLTsil
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXfDCZbRus
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw6r7QqPgn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMqv9mlHr

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHP4GPAYbi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrValb5OK6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCylMjZaXfP
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPk0kDPas
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwBRnzmthf
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6hdHUvMA8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBFTFtkzAy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLAdRbUvPq

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4J3GEhrFB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTylsu1Dxx
“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUyJbyyXyC

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NNoNieraE
Kim’s shoulder.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhpQxoYpAt
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz2LCTjUHM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmIyiRFFap
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4SyUZpmi2
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxZotZlne
idea. We should get out while we can.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1W14NJFQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT6xOqbQQs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj951jVj4M
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmA9BeOYw2
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2XwcOmO2J
the conversation. Let’s go.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjqp7pXQyd
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOpXMuHbQu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXJ58nw011
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeOVDTLSbc
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD60TP1QrU
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjl2Tb5YKP
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU24VnevhD
were able to see Leo’s table.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUem6RugSDk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOUDTDZDHJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14cPNuYFwq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2abHsTI6P4
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUuU9a8qYW
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHoBOd3Rcn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMkOqQnjL5
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKyPPTtYHI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9MDVJIczz
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB69DZPdEXI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxcFv8777c
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPuHOFkRvi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DkMRa0DpJ
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt1AkyPQ4O
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8f1uitVd9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hvhjstf3Z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdSFO4QiU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4y4cgQKwX
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3BEaDWKcL
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAT7hL1lO0
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUJuhq2zTi
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhoBfk1qS
counter in anticipation.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFYpSeKHQQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzIAR1au3v
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaxAyxm23B
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfSKkuEriy
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPDIwwACf
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2LwbWTrjc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCssAq1S14z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvGjmGcJfm
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GmArwZrsM
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Q7G02RQp
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvHcyn9pTK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHCSZDGPpz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDBbCPiKok
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTDbIbmucZ
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16xvPbNXkO
head.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E3VRvTGll
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCnzVzyWs4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBPEponjKJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZd04DPGCo
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKWlw1mcXA
not at that intimate level.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gl2i40CQu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgkMpltSes
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LXcia3yQa
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZf7palI9e
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzeIFQ1uuD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuT5CQ6h5l
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dgaCkW0B
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu8LqcaLU4
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFDHOXbSTI
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FHic1p96t
he was being friendly to me.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNr4bmV3Wv
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LDl2rm9Rt
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJhyfZyJY
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqjL11iiXE
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA0VFRdV36
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9xuoNdEkp
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDFstTqqsE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo6f01Z0d6
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo1tIAjcU3
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsl9Y0f4F2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXl4t4rv1p
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MBGra4GlA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXw2pHVzAH
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkksEtesjUg
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPWVe5oh4p
counter.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3u9wJY05
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB1hpoJmaK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqQqIBPCzo
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQpYRtThi
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYK9XerYCi
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWGccN3fc
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeJt6UQZuq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQedTtIhGO
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Rcsuy92t
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPJuOQZ31
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yz8hSi9JG
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnNLqsYpdq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dWJWDOGWI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcCIfheDvD
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMQAjozkBB
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Oe8UXMiC
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5GUaclZ0
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xwPREexRW
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0wU1GEeJ7
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQqodYpH9S
that was different from Carly’s.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z0tJ5y1HV
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70AGRZJ13w
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT78cFzRCP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92c1PVVCv5
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfktZPdqA47
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3mfbPbvwW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBIvFIzyc8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDMrMdgn3l
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgwq9QpRDA
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tziqGoG31
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHV1Yrlp6V
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw39HYf4TH
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7eIVrTthk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K6lydNTNe
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs2NfBOzSV
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3EoytiGkC
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6bzrFdiB
doing here?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyGqNhBkWY
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLxN3a4RnA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUqxqffOQ5
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9qecpAMAo
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5IiTaUub
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1cRm0557X
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfqMOAuoY
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2zblSU1U9
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk2YMg4DaR
surprised look.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LS2pZ9oU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaksWL335x
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Dd4xmGUy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTliweU8pC
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFdzv7YQFq
get her attention, but she thought better of it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Noql2CJx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQtX8DFT7Z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCbbrRR5K5
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLFG90nvB0
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqgA7jNT8k
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3KZkpCx8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDvqqFSl3I
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvzUpR1pQY
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7fruEMi2
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89tTXexA97
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8qTGFyV0K
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59hyjwAzPK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpbHBw8aFX
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OQPoHr4U
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOrRGgyu6a
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDPbF46Sna
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBlkfB6Dfu
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4kfem0qKp
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoKUe3gq6I
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1Eyy84gI
the table.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLamkhrU6UL
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvTawOFgYi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7mfj0wSDE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78IH2o7vSL
“What was that about?” Eric asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTQNdQ7BzV
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Hpyi9oEd
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t8v38INXL
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmS7fJlEX2
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnfShdvYG7
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk45ccBqPn6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToJWqUVrHZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5avz2NNLfr
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjSbU65VDq
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEy1xLVWch
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz8gOk6nQr
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkLyj7GEW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1FLCgRl06
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp8AS0raF9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cuCpYhwn
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATwFOhJh6h
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvapfjLyl2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOPk8Tpbws
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa2BMQDZIs
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagHFHis6zl
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqR5bINgyH
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTQeVJzQAH
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmish4f8exn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZZTyVCXrV
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57nRj6CNWV
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOhmUZ62S
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFzwQCIWCT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87zPEv4Pl0
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t5Li9nBMu
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWS5qTDvHs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrFD7uujHa
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9QRMr4zB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBNzfxunpg
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYoLAwS6m0
said Marco.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl1bReWsN0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX7mfITkmJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2GaKteIp6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKIlWUfqWa
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7eWYwcnPl
more handsome than you.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E6N43AVty
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobdZDrKNi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs3jOESxyU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlylNBrHEAN
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGSyoqAooi
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdckdAaPQs
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbRAiLvRxN
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVNb2UPPjg
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeKkYCj4I2
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SZTaRFCsM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6zq0ghcwn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN5b2n3nqQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilP52bKkTM
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpqMzRov7P
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ6tmEz0QM
thinking about.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjUV69xXs8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8uP14gf9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB1FiCNhWR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLWpgQMweA
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt2gJpeCyn
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPjuxSahu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhZ5LKXAT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvVknMvLqG
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnWRhruXyG
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtXziCSPG8
brother’s face.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKd7VrBFR1
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXnsJtVqs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWbPEtfys9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQIzq7gPgz
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Q7X890Gc
at Oliver.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0rA0WtAVQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA8a8RY6xr
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGqo18uxTy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVNMxATfdi
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQieUzqhMZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvWb4Xw0N
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa3EwGsMc1
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JELYwR6JD
“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPWBL7n6Eb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvvkBOxOul
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o0N04EXYM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZxWXHnxOY
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHcPczuTkb
heading out too.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJ07MTGh9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3tcTVVs92
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLkIxFA2ZE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriacOO3Dgd
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsxjPesZpP
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8oXufriO9
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5lINuQwIZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICzf0iNmMk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkEgBNJ4c9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFYLgQy4Zt
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVEAbdjfy
way home.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWifIzVqnF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzZ2v3QKgw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbeUnGGXGb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCKuRidsw0
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KitXzMMY2
here.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x0FIY6tS3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsdIruxIsy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOnI9nYFOx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYUUKY5kmd
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ8keoNwRo
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAZQJCswrt
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbnxsCSxTO
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCwCpLIML
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny5I5jtCw0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjBWiaoMXJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ41TTjEgD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkDQcR9Yi1
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLaCj68UQ
little longer.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iIAuGbHgJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq29FdqX96Z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1IURypnor
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHAaI7GnYU
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwO9dsYUEa
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7miBFnf7bt

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8cIEp2cd6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEDfR8LdFX
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlslrI5GP0O
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRF0fhuZxa
get your number, Angel.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjE6vRNYvX
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvfBHOLtgP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWfAq7MZ1k
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywTj6o5eFU
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpc7OINete
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEKfxGyVir
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjVosEIBT7
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBznucLoZU8
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TsK2COQ0t
care less.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtcbpRDrVQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTG9BcFu5q
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffnIHWv7Kt
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MdTWrMi5U
“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGpxOfr6S
should do this sometime soon.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ7dAIfN0T
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoEOkj2Xbc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgX7d2iKHc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RbskAvJA3
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI0FPcCB8B
difficult.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUNxbRXVX7
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1C9lVvgkS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuppCYHtfx3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r6DI5tnGe
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYEKrP3wb
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH7PThduNa
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNZoGNPfHB
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyyfIsMfD0

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVMEP8k04s
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAAqAFqyG4
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19gB5XDCDd

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeKZVitjdZ
much at all for a while.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGYiM802mq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Oq7ktxYV
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r69c1h1vp
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gXkUjObGv
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzVnwt5mk1
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E3hC2hQKz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gXnowZZFE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV2WqtnpNm
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrPEnQDMun
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmvuxm5x35
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmR7mstwiC
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcV6gjmmcG
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpY9kTYgYh
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONmqBsO7wm
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCBEi1Rt9v
home.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKKquqfpex
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybor1SUd5x
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu416R2cV9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OnIhUXLkP
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bbwj7mloB
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIcX32d8lv
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs5SiDolhd
Miranda might still be around.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXwQ1DY3a2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmGjef3bf8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcp6AAXUg
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItpbocGqqk
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eOl4yHfgs
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6P5VR1nPW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFhr9bphxZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqAekF92aJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvLHIL8zuL
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaEvedFjTz
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oDsFlDIQ
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Giu4H3uEB
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kdxdkd4yp

cream.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP4AY9JLlc

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdKrEnYmMm

around?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNFGdwFZnB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9blyy3Dh1n
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17BDDpxZS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zmjBTn0XB
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPPMDSz75
the bar area.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxdqYGvKJS

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKMilnl2tD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrvmkK48vR
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40xZAIJxwm
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR72gUN7M2a
they started to stand up.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8t5kS1Jjk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaODTK0dmF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HykqYTP9J
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAugh6xDOy
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOCC9f4As0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXrR9eNwtV
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4spnEWZ9hM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9itbXDDXxH
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sq5dkr1pc

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHDqpSQs59
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60LeRaR4h1
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6964twYUN
see.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbyTVkWyzx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sCKh6K8uJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIltl2uKb8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOFL2d1ifL
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhepCiq2uR
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHHiuQTgDL
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kvSSoT6c
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVO7HzdTV
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBgQKFr6Uk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SfBdNCFig
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiUWdaICtn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgILF7ug8uj
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEQiC9pJqo
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdVb6Xi729
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJF2elpq4
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5obIiMm5Ut
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKLKwOJAF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrF0zinoYk
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFV6jxZtLo
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln3MpV0QdV
seen us.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII0Zi7RgqL
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIpK8cB71q
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAU9MOMdsg
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HD6xeqhWU
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlhYBf1KmQ
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9xik4zcgm
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgRNao6Cq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxkG0gwxDS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI4LBElJ9J
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaOVaCezRq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzbyHVsKut
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6RiGY9XAS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaLmU8KEIZ
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZWKhqoWS
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BHlbwFv4
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eVqYlF78L
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19KAcU42J4
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NaxGjrfh
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYWy4I29KG
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJHaBgKj2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh4lldxUVq
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGUtiljLiy
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡird7pjFhxR
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZE59T4iGk
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuks4pM77a
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA7G6sxMuv
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy4Jb3TNNF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ifc8KZ2X
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy5gsezCry
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlliUSsTSo
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq2nOeO8QL
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdwi41Xh4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSw2Bgjje8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFHEIsimgP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAv20JCucc
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ6zmMG54e
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupGxvikYSV
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBipMMVHBMq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GMZy7SYx4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv5kIPRVrz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtEvCFJo4K
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZmALoSsn8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeitBGsxiHL
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4eELMSHWW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeGrjlMLAs
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6mm5SY8X4
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVodU9HxYfN
this wasn’t over.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7b8Tuofqq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3xMpXdEWa
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSe2HvoVqL
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKfb1fHoYI
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHosYgexxe
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkR5MUhgsH
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lFgwozXQQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqcyTKMRvx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMEl2Tp3kA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cP2u95HnO
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHBKIW9jaC
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbuyk8we6s
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2aMAFAI87
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF3SOtNGdU
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqoDx0gMz5
favors," said Angel.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg3wuzG2PF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwXwkxfzux
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVgA0QkAtT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQzoqKctup
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0GX2ebb4m
they been there?"208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u5vjA4B1Z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4YhWJRpXN
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVsjWka3ml
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYOuD7IbFT
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFSEepZRA0
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBloW8GQfah
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx9GcSg2dc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AAFIHGzBn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8YtmeFsRj
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeR8AzQVML
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKXKcrDHvE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8bP5WPHo
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh7dDnnzzM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSBHWeZgpP
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB6H24ZCTT
so you've got to be careful from now on."208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtffHWmkR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbmo0bxMMQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooMphonLcy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEb5HqU6bq
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVkDqeThA2
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z8ImAGwIQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzgiYuSxK9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcWvAAw3uF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknte1PE2dD
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYMJwCIEAO
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrviU4uWWko
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJygsd8fvU
night only.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOld3gauJ4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkSuATyW3a
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4IxQ0oBI8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdsX2ViuFh
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMkmMvVUox
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG06jiMTiKn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2f02K7ztT
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jJkkvuX4q
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B2GYtFIZ7
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FdWnIRm8A
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwb6xyVAxK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YwjCHDL2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfmyEh3wM3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Nm39ntC5
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMsF2R1AFn
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wEAh3qMrX
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctXA2VNwc4
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSVw8ER63o
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy270CDL7Tt
want one?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpBPWcqJha
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uxm03ODMW
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOX1D5eX0R
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq4QYtVRk3
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAs1ErNvA0
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv4ru26iBi
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52wvUmKJIG
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZFG7aQzg0
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWwDfSAGz
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3W9KBqgE
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iTsZlSI3N
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2nGiMFHNW

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ALdB5NfoI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t1MEUD8OV
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHyjnWEUa
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzseYbYF5xI
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNsmQ5kq5S
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡailaUgElIr
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqVKqwwlBb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWIvTAuGgE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzFmUfz1wn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5fq1Dubss
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VbzfrV1YT
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwd6R8WEXy
relief, it was Walters.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtmxyXFZ2Q
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC1iCDe05J
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMn9vIE2Z2
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVuZ69v5WJ
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83QEZ7s6qo
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbmSRKD1OF
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJCN2C1siI
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VnYVhJJsm
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk0z0rml4z
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CXUVeuDWi
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9aXpOwWT3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8kHvhsyy
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGbEnLDASn
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv3VL8vAT8
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjHzdpcGB9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUv69JrgqB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxank3qoSLw
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9i3n7H979
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUIb9KvQp4
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBcAunmTmC
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQNsoltUL
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxdceiE2ra
Lion?208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ICJ3zHFmx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0MFVY3J6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbmLMy9Yhj
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUSd0dMKgo
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf13elL92G
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zGSF4IN6
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuhlvvQHYh
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxb1IbugqB
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KN0oonWXz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3fqet6C3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lGPrSv8pe
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDm9G7HDmk
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bte4yU5jh
squeeze her throat for being late. He turned to the person who stood on the208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWSyNXoCqv
balcony.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc2vDHi15S
