“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXzydyYE99
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSYDYc6zcz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnLGxhKzfR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio84elQMgu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYUa4677xZ
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8dRzsEAE

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvUJc2estu
“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPcz2d5eSM
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRETZtT9RH
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHEJsxhmsC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqR1YlndPd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqWz2X21a
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNoVuHRP24
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxXSpP7y9B
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt8eZMH66b
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg8gLIg2j2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs2YfUruWS
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOENhzah9wm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y6ru1DXRg
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTujV58k6BX
want to say it.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULVOS9Wyzr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI2aNcQ4Qe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDf4BmfoCN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0pq5SDV4K
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mJ9z7ZVo4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeVpo2OZaK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhtj3ZYB36
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sZa7JYgn
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyAryaRuv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Tv7qMxCK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdj5yxjEdo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzaPEx8T92
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wLSDYVZF
because that’s just how she is.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEIBk2MSoI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwlFZHEf3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz4CkohFWe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2AvINg03h
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QqU1ADZ9
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VGVkDTd6s
your fun.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4lpR4DUpt

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz6IKSIxCG
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkyGxZRnoB
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQU21YygT8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwWNMxTRks
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFbVTO1l06
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAHxTOxvz5
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEHZ0aX0av
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytapShIW8d
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJnBCE9J8a
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSNZ5AD47G

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIapY0k5h5

“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCFpND8Qs
thoughts.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlnxbAM8U4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNxnbfL8Rw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9oXVaJeR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGrIizdOoh
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZQIAe3Ctd
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXldEbp5x7H

too?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2roSAn50g

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sIJK7ZJay

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0ZLaJ5Rb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZvoo9VjS
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFYY4ie8zX
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl6xAmnC33
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjxgYI7SZg
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98g9wQ7sfV
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUWEBRmPlw
that they should join Angel and the others.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdXeie7f8Y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkatiZeK4hH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2SsJ70kH3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLrf08HSf7
Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIGgCNReus
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIXYFDriVD

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6EftE0j1q
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwx30TFFjm
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAZchN3V6x
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7TV5HDeBr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpAoJWPFSP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYypctp4Qz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpayylqaqO6
“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT7A74QsNg
tired.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZyn0ti7e

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIhY5r6ire
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs41aT4QHR
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJvvNOBEOo
a drink right now.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY50aUhutA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZJ9pENNfi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XWqAJVhHC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJEsXepw8C
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF8K7o2gJW
their sight.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9fBCieHJv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr092mBHqp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHQrUR1SKk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnUGdClQID
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfeHs4PpTK
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9GExkmGmL
they aren’t at their table.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwktzy4ayoc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFuOBM3HOE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClKlf0u7xL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8cK8Nyd7x
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJK6MrfnQv
the counter.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYvnolyzYM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mrmybDNqL

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil4RyrcUdC
Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNViYxNV0R4
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzv9NuEhX8
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HarBHeQYX
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfNuQb9ibA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljTtUrm4iy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WT3tq2mPq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs2ubzmfkI
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDguAmsQ8w4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9DFeqtLCR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjLDERBAT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTC7B5Vm6
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnooVl9eUiq
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGQetK9Wyw
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw1nTLEjJL
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsXvSmhBPo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhwCgCYI2Q
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Z7OezwMs
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHDttQOR6f
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykwc9COk5q
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9oLR9CZ1a
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sFWuqecG
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP01lJR9ly
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5JxXHwol
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU9bvxR6Z6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopm5C40hl8
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H4KapK6ll
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QeOi5psQI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmeqAYg1mf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPNGdZY4l4
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdiBhpKr5X
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWRGQfazJB
would speak first.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFb1LBJUMb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP4NyOljpT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5h3kOGOAR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQEFxlhnhg
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZWw1VyC6g
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whnVxzbi9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4vF6PLqYD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUqlFpyghD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFHsvZYox
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wZZzMQvb
he gets here. I really need to step out.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9qMeRWmkL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW0Mg3kP4y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3oc8y3Cqc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFMXl2ScEY
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHmC2M9mu7
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizJcEmi78Y
it was hopeless to do so.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPWVI7EIu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5zi1ZT341
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlASbLOBmo5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3lQbFqOF9
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi3VkDA3JP
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NSOHsSlwD
Walters calls.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDDfgjbaF4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbrbTi45vU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEFa90COtR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOJwNlwFru
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTJ2ydxLsd
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1KpONB4qm
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBksO9xLtol
minute.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgteovOEhU0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjgl04Ap1K
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WQzeY9PF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbezz0SDwA
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitinIChXpx
door.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79UVLzaWkM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo1WYqA1EY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsYNZSR3W1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX7Jzpzlme
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcZteVPlwu
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVuQj9kOhj
any moment.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIXseT7nbO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEf48DMunn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxeo8mUxlU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5a9wMVgFT
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzeLuRSjXD
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9FmyUS6AI
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbI5BPzgT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lPVx8xkuy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFFKpzy79U
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnw6Xv6GHO
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x5kAhtaMo
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg8H9IVxP5
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9IiIBS8Yp
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck64vBuegm
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cIGT5ut9O

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDUcRIzNb
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaGWYgKj4r
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrO2T0WIWY
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYyke7PTqz
next day.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlfQhLsMGq

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxX1UzS6uY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Q6XEvLlu
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeABdzlN6Rz
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerSadmZUC
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXUkYGor58
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R0WhBpFxh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQmNLzaeM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzoYwSJJh
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHeYrxYPpE
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXFhnXBjaE
Eric and shook her head.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiZgjDiBKy

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcqlaz0lIt
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nZvGW2BZa
thanked him as Leo sat down.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjrOb71qFX

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8EcEQsd3i
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVE4bm0hFR
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7sK8AxkKK
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNerol55vWS
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAZxBzDAQF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiVGgGaHJb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQTCNjbkrF
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDshaGoPd4z
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUFwk2BbAJ
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpuZpn4H3X
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cDEoCt11K

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBcsZBL6Wf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxclCyvA5uj

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKuySh7HdM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiOlCXM7Pb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgJra7ZwJs
“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCVxqJcykN
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDfzJsP4Ov
cheese.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zCZYssz2m

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4moAJGYxIB
they all burst into laughter.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydRtXBf0Cp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUvGnv6bRU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWuopOxY01

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77BsWcfJN2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhMTj4i63w
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzLeLdTb0x
supposed to inherit it, not me.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhy3Vi43lm

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwADOxjLEqQ
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7os7uk3q7

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCKy2cGoJN
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLxYVUEVWa

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIX9WDErv7
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLofv5eCktt
out his hand to get a nacho.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bjr0PWXXJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EmaAVAS2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a0puEzcTt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwpKO0NBo
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4VHzxKqPK
afterwards.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85r6FNTUqy

“I swear, sometimes I feel he’s older for his age,” said Eric as he shook his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIXLK9jEzT
head.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7qYsTnYEj

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxaXRnHjwF
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeXpKrQhbG
the future.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw1E26Efrq

“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkeylfpF8Z
later, when he’s older.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7HhfgX4X9

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTepwRgqaac
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY6XMjQmm0

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPygCMcS7T
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KoXOM51hq
Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVoGmRWYX5
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplA4wdQ9Rg
the statement.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgV9QLCr6j

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡladJXFzF2t
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpLMezAebT
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEk3TnJpsj
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FN8gD6737
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aoK3g5CGY
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduSpoKj2uw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39wzeVcELu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h8YQ11BIS
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF09XyTfJX
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsPW2eZZo
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyAtOaatpN
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKxvxofgkz
elsewhere. What should she do?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpB3h7FTq3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQQou3OTww
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAjAs5VzLC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2QDDUoXVn
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUNGgEk0My
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiAbl9zmb5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DNdv8Bbf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoHd72Afbl

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i8UPNERkg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pbot9xIbs
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxts5FVooG
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGY7iCSQPm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZjSRv1OR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsfdHujXt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuMFC63g4k
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YQLOoDw3G
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHsaMcgRA6
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvHNIVIV0d
necessary.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eczcTY2NI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zxNh9a6Vk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj0nxN6yC1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3y2dY6jeQ
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3lLQLzQVi
know.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybmUgBRH6t
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxbHDT5FF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtvSa3FAlt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0GDCVxbmb
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd16GcCDCio
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz4kabXg1a
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d66Voy1xK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsISUhkNyDy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VeCCKRhSq
Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX7toYIYFn

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQWTqQgaU2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4YNcA6YkN
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6sk0Mrkyc
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEpkS417zm
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfVBDE9AOo

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46AUI66ZNq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvVd2vvGWV
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7M6gTmRs8
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90UyZHC7p7
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PA2EBTWs
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPknvSsoFi
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt11WyPAe6D
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEuRF3Avob
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlRFDLGVc5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWmupXh7nF
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CFHSAmfYM
us.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9qMJJEwKn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgsZ8nhc7H
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmEcpKSnnX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaU9cTd8da
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FD4WbS9qj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIicVjYqrv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzb8iDZxL7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDoBExb25
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8znBDiuX4O
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FoPUZX09L

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezhUkgk9j
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVcthuR1rE
Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIxOEekA73
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBX2L57KtM
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeTGvcCH0N
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaPN6yukXC
counter for a drink.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKo4Q09pm0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgzUb1RkYy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrjpVlLv1n
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JDkqCQgJt
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UgFtt2ui
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZILxcY3rih
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePjfpdeqz
has.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleinivbarh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gMR2ZrSxj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdxTfSYPdV
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fjeF8JxcD
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64hwCmloCr
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMBo71ehyG

“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPerpOq7m3Q
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmFzW5wN1
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZm3TMACwt
already doing right now.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytqfvUVWiC

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhwv3zUn3H
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPuBcd1FA4
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47cQbVVm30
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRhJc1Mfo0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa31zlmJre
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWrlX4IZNp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveKsz7E3f

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODyYoqah0b
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcnPVpgsIC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiMVNw7ToS
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tvz34OmFd
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW2IsNRSYJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u5zWoMczK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHwdcjpJcx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cT94f5NMt
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSQmI3D0T
just as jealous as I am,” she said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwspdKFWnC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSXSfAwX1e
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9QyZS8cpr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuFRpJllCH
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPhxXBgHWg
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOUYa6DUor

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ZhLV0aKb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUSmOPyM9q
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1oej4WQZo
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVHq3FWyqz

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilaUM0LfcJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEynPPp96o
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyoMohzPi8
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCji5HY0hJ
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZvsVFv1Dc
go of him that easily.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAA7COpPHz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66QQBJDXiq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqo3dcVKoF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMx97cRk7S
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZNc7pByJ
was going.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU8NzjhME7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOgQJzBVjQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDPGxD9Ea1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpz4YKFtao
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhikD3e037S
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHjYkaLrCg
isn’t going to do you any good.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFCLCN3voz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fpRrvROQc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72MPjZG0lJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDKAYVQGx6
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv92E0ZND0
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITWJ8K90of

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8qCE1qMgM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrT1HjAs8q
“Okay, after tonight, I’ll try and let go of Leo,” said Kim.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW1g7AMkf1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OX9aEIuTk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7oCnoSvWr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr12GOGcrJx
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWMKbmtGsW
your promise after you see this lover of his.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg04OJTmNcQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQARGrKHCPR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oi2sdwSRx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEficNaPsk
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY3cdZALgZ
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzpSqKleiy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZteefCKB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCFiHybObx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC9OC4aoUb
“But what if we don’t see her?” Kim asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXuRDLblx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5XrvLWVC7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCse19UH6Io
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWCc9gAbDI
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pux2o0dtV
us some drinks.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83fMCN3GB7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnZx6oDp4R
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgccZ6T6W8V
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZsp5y4MXx
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLBhwD0a0q
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBne24Qf9Y3
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfEVmXa60H

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQj15rlnoB
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ilYrq1Kzg
she didn’t even give them a second thought.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzolnh9I2oz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTLKmDGzu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEWay9VsUh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eHCL0GCiS
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl4OGzTmke
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hS26Xm4Ue
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqc7rPcoHN
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WdhI8A3AE
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFN8Kc75q1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Rm38GEP6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcXdx91TMr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOH3uMaQwi
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjLfY9FHIS
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHC6qVxQT8
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNC10slXnE
she wasn’t too careful.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaqc0AJdqU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNg1H5Ir9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5FHtvbr13
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36MvkRA9qG
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocFtEPNUth
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxiJ6R60D3
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb7uXtJ7VA
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUJAbfOXAH
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCSij1Wwf
things.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu2GjXWpex
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgOR9TAQrx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOW68JaZd0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3gMB0dIEn
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ImllrNAY
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm794fRsVkH

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEAoBRJ1fk
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFVMJr47Gi
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeofnCaZ98
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNkFlSLQr
her face.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jryj4wAy8

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HTFf85css
never to drink with him again,” said Leo, concluding his funny story.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbkkRdTt3d

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlW1sgV8yC

Marco, "and we meant to have a nice, quiet family party. Instead, my uncle266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNk6sNDerH
brought in many of his unruly friends. The party turned out to be such a blast.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tv8WnYuYI
He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXmBer6FxO
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9atyN9Jq5Y

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkU9vwuGwA
embarrassing moments when you were drunk?” he asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNVG8trCzo

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGXGgssKZa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JI4FewyzO
Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5lDDhQqcs
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9KjZWGu6v
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjSozNtMG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RwQYkbixE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOVdA6ZaH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasjuKfRNu8

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO2qaaheBb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDsAJIE4T
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK9sKr8yWK
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB7rNCuHOC
on special occasions.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3MPW1kAUe

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnLBihEvLQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8jMxsY2Ih
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ822gjtjHvt
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfrtmmm2Bc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNQPWA3AEx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg53z9rSTTH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF500lFx25N
“What?” he asked with a shrug of his shoulders. “I hear people who drink such266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MFHIg9HAe
are considered classy.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ow3MroqJT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQP0qWdXlj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyzP4xEX5V
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLEauUpCeK
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TPMCq9rpl
they drink,” said Eric.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ589mFzmW9X
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKcgkC0akb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXY7E4JvU9

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4cG9poKeJ

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSbB6MQDbm
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5mUWqAiQt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjA18ft22j
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vUvabingt

“I agree with Oliver,” said Marco. “Angel is in a class of her own.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyY3JOYTdv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRbo3dJDU5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1GICqgAbF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTbSEJa97y
“That’s being too sweet, don’t you think?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz3eby0lca
Marco.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw3LjZliR5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYCnwNEGWF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXAoVVCbTl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7GYluNuqW
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqkxaIhHz8
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7F5KoYyqZ
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjDW5euwfF

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MUgxFGDb4
Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLbDALMZXE
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxpqEX0ktC
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1adSRjj94
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6CubGtm3P
sincere.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzg1KXOAtm

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T0bpB8kpP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWItLWoODOn
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJwKKBw1Ed
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFZjKCTncI
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKGB4hasLL
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC673qZSdz
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6SD8HPK8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmf8ty0oE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuazKAWG8gH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXNq79BPjO
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqCaJZCDm
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRxzKGdlAF
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc9aurzhCd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFitZsdFCuE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn2GWmloEr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuoUfpP8lK
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqlHp0S7R2
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ICdZb7Mo
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEXZgXkxCC
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZicI64CiW
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5e8dSOB65
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfgfcYgLO
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunRQLUuJLS
for it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2avLBBUJBZ

“We’re out of nachos,” Oliver announced, bringing everyone out of their266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmsFyWFgzJ
thoughts.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ZA7D0PjN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbelCNhV6Y8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXR6QbErgs
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogN8Jv13Nh
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9PEBP0IkJ
really needed to take a breather.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlpq9XQrdv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrNTpNLhJD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKbL4FMBli

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbof82cmiNq
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiFlS37Spp
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRnS2XNrOQ
though she had woken up from a bad dream.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB1NRSILvS

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB5cvvpaio
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFkU4UxPig
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7UrUcDuN5
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBefJWmB8B
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO9TzPuHZh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dxDnspnN1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj1lJcgY3O
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI8Nt5IDpI
Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX6wUe4FTC
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWicrmLZtTp
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpv7ZU6MRC
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KGptSVqjN
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXheMnp9T8X
herself.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxBalZtqNm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoVXFN4dlB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRB1wJrLRc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1pl3a5QXF
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vpJrPfY9n
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlkhD10QAf
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29L2pAacM
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJ9VCC1sA
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5HPTgZzUL
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxJ0DEzW8J
notice her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe9JbypILs
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjnMfk5vHP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIspPLgsO6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8jxYcmiRt
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqQLcNkGCG
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq6IWlKCVK
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqahHhkEdkQ
own business.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb4fP7SlhL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHJZ86WEdL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHYYKrbDpq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DpHwS3bN1
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4L2rMTXu
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW6tPpxEcJ
surprise.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKekkYIF9o
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEBHQJ13jY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzKgLJFgBi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5nfL9oA1
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7QgffCvVk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4keq9fIr8e
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ANtDs7yLF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKd7gi0GZp
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0h5xHTow1
“At the candy store.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAHEvMZu6e
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vPcYNRwMN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmYIWsgeGD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0LbrBCRFR
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNbE1jJWW6
bumped into that moving shelf.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3skgup6Nsq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvzPXH3v54
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nOxHOpJT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJf6PL65Dd
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zWkKDgVK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd2P7iLVjO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5OzJR9KeA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1oMRQlpHO
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReCJBnxFbU
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sm8oxFNF9
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBFCjpaofl
forever.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvthg8myHQk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KbnBAstuj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI86x8fXX30
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj1iJcx9ov
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNxNUQ4aoL
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oJtw9npY3
their conversation ended here.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3pBcZfGE3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmq4amcbK3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEArSkUAgh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGj5d3FhdO
“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYCUu2sCT4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxhET9pIYo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56nej7zGOu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIC4JRau5A
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN5ZFS2nbr
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFvtn4n2L0
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RJhLJ6Ily
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAkGeNxn3N
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqiVc72KIb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FSQn4iJFG
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseDO49tLcq
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIcKtkD831
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNFVLgVemN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwbTlnl4HH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD77e7LOLpu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IQ5SYMcSV
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJAKEMrIA
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMHKjpZtli
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaSjOyNL6z
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB2Wraa57g
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmnJQWlNCn
leave, but after she finished her martini.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW8Huxnp03
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPGWaNPG8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEnBYkIfm8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM03dxJbAu
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19VdR7FxED
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEk0kRwRub
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4viKFAY63K
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UkhqLxtti
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKEkH1q4KL
“Thanks,” said Kim.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFgL9qEzg7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiOrTR3ws7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNJUZotY5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzl0XCx90P
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ACflH8EOZ
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfRywNdRY8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi4irmk28E
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowsVVuk9Ut
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkKHsn4fT2

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lj3KMly6L

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOonZOzTtPg
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OiJzoGJAe

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePkINOpcft
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPSQnidh3d
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaxtYM6DV3
Kim’s shoulder.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kY5cDJeqj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG5q3ek60b
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqNegx7HKE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT8OWNmE7x
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQfgUktWk1
idea. We should get out while we can.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFQFyT12Mv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJprCWdt5AT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7LydPYX5L
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTJKMZTLFA
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgABGyUCb8
the conversation. Let’s go.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmC1321xz0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRJ20veYe1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKEbISo49W
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Mkub2L9W
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlTPjXwYuR
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPkgWK0JeV
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q556ag11t
were able to see Leo’s table.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt956AnIi5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r2yUcyDP4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhcrN1Fpe7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLktse51bE
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU8oPSEsml
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbowoOo052c
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjETAPb9oP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmdBqzFJay
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Q5qMijtB
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYeghQwmh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZDdC5566a
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACkoDkacd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVzzKyqMkN
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPePQzbUdlM
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6BGR9qyW
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHepenFhtyY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT1NL0TlCn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf997FqBcZ
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG898h6RQyT
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTAcDqvDki
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdVYhhjGcP
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYOouGdttg
counter in anticipation.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q1NqVNbKz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhWjI9DHXy
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6n5yhX1Y0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTURj4SN4b
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQO6dAzAV
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P7n3h9d1y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCshoQITpza
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdNSrZl7Yg
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvkQJdJ8qL
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdt71Htg9l
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzq5tGZZ34
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnhIWLBNqz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7b05Amb4V
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq4IFIyRVo
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lHzYfQ8kA
head.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIBUfdftec
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum80qoecWC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGVoU5Kpun
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kSQakpLIv
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadChdTh4Js
not at that intimate level.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOYqUQzf5K
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLAxYvijUM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDR0CWwUeM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QBZwp8AJG
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWiHHfC6e
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5aPozEgpb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8f161jsBo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ufY3Upl7F
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUUzazgRPX
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4GtAo74ev
he was being friendly to me.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWyE4zBhV9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYzl55oPBY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9d1cpw1nb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe7qXATw4t
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc9H9gGAue
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETzXpP5fG3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjSoEKNG4U
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixuR346fp
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1R8aJTpQ6
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvFgnnAdmf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5SmI5Yx80
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqqJ9VXgub
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ99GBtDmU
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3Y54P2S0
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xfUXgknwt
counter.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBPz67dLHw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDgHfVdKW
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yy4kyofO6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZKCsPxTey
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFuFYfW3NQ
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHaqN0Djnq
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7efcPINGbG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnutx1BXtSK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NkNE6C9AN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi2SvkvuhR
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcakd7XpGTj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTpMH1hjVq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYAB3VuQ8O
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9VmTDgxvr
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKCzKw8CkL
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfJmijAzgM
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ8fhnZ6fC
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRk6NGolBr
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3JY2szCwJ
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncbdHfslyw
that was different from Carly’s.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAV8ddbTJh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypufYEkhp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZryW2OsNH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq0sS0CzcF
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SQ1JFO6Z
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcImHhFWDDf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3uVUj2Ur
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2uFCFjVUg
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUuegpH18
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCsspHZrMr
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwznTxj4eX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujwBfjvZ33
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OEtPejroI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC2Q1wB3VX
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwyA1tkD17
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGuHXzEtvf
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgGRUHVBVi
doing here?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1FL7eVBzX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn7CHgaMM2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDhhHEw1K2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7BySmbI1y
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPamnW5GHD
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrjn1hJbc4
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5aTeBqtf1
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgPABIbhfh
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmXjxQ62xF
surprised look.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77HBa56t9G
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTtT0MfXqC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpW4gnwJm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUzatDxGQB
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPAeucBotL
get her attention, but she thought better of it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenP0hiPcjG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEZO9V41WZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPluAOtwLF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8pet1VmTO
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtuRmuUqvP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza8wXeP2xr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl2a2VlqvW
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrrZPffAB1
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2VttkfpEs
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVp39e1YR
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI9qbyeTjM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pKhJCh3q9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxlumXCEgX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPRspWhxFT
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTDJyifhm
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TqoxPjFUO
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFQfQ3Dmqq
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNUGU7ronk
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoMH2yelO2
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZd6DTy5ZT
the table.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9ijQeKq96
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfU8RqVcm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqroZAwDEN
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9tE1CO2D
“What was that about?” Eric asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOADZInWi63
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUT71tKzVO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvYsiiMMmx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqVQNYtN8w
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB80zfYkv7U
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmdW3eJWSX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ifTnc9uSY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8t0P3AjVP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNGA4S0y6o
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lIALtMEf2
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC9zreacbw
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSbn6keBH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNga8ppYIJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZc232vLNE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1lHcsyLrb
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt74GOPQLBO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpmSHqfRak
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvScjOTY0Pb
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUNKNQsenu
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHXQSZGHl1
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vO5zq2gA4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4A0zMPRlQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFcr273I4t
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ysiVlGMPw
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI8m1BYA4C
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvY0MsPh2u
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNmdabHhHn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGIzxBWwwy
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVYYm2jIX
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppT2IqbV36
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDpu9t216Y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E4NGyrGWK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9jxfZmtFS
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxguDtO0Mz
said Marco.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXWPAkynAt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjnjWymJCx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjhWj3NgVm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HVMDGPp5t
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3284zTxtM9
more handsome than you.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0oDWPYqD5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgUZ4odD46
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXYER1kdQu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBUirRBdDc
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJoZps5cP8
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbju5yYohq9
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGdHTUAk4
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jqG90tZCr
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8njXQEdVd
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXrQMgGtYB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5KATQRyMU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oHIBMH5p5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpiWDZKSuh
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0qYqaxrfD
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcV2jxykXG
thinking about.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO7CUWA9tY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71y3MttcmP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2oSGoziTF

“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vCdjjTObU
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH1Wsdvkyw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4p4ttXBsD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BTi68xD1n
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYTbjDetT0
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIgopFSMt6
brother’s face.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDfeH6xkvR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIqkVMxLVv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgEqDarsef
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksRTJbqYlU
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQCr268AsU
at Oliver.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k4XawlH0N
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPuBS7Sx5h
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBlooWpr32
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSjici2QXX
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahieUul1ox

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SsJFVCRiE

“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpe770O3jh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFKDBNHHoO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSdctWrHq1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u3JeW4241
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvUpLQBgHr
heading out too.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8pB1vTKAQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRBKa8gYXO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KHU3BBAyq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPWpSKmiZ
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpven1Iu0T
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu1QPs6lin
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxela6Ysje
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs7C0zIdif
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSpMARA3l7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJW3vWn9m1
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aN6jz6mWb
way home.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYjaSjQTnJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenBXL9pnd7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnCUvQmfYF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQDsaFmgYd
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2YYkUUKZo
here.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsrDiUTas9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnifh3rtxVI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lWTMOYPdG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoWh2Npk4
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCreB97J0F
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWOTbfiZuk
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqJmdsMwOE
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZDfYGkKU2
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlmn2r6Unn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7EGQAj2KX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh4HdVMSHn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxherwczSeG
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqRqOqm6Zz
little longer.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y3Ml1pMoO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYgWBYaoxH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HzDN9bwEt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKhpap9upR
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIorR8LKYvb
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS63I6sWpds

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP0XkDLhgR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa0TOY3XGK
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz7diVLPtI
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNgpz2Pyyl
get your number, Angel.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPvjdczns
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy4vji2DkB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI95ZNiBkbp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLKAGDTwRm
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN1sQvRx6n
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UsGGtYaQJ
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV6XGtIxP9
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgbuKcVS7N
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNms0z6BjJ
care less.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9V88lPhj6

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qsKi1MKqh
should do this sometime soon.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWwdBS5vIa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJeImyKACa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzuESiN6XH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS2TlbyQ75
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0OZRyPoHC
difficult.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UhZ7vO6Qo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcYYfHDuDZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SgzeWGAT7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY4rLfJOXN
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ytW6DZna
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xHnVG0EEo
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJlcOrXeR5
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGc2TFYnO2

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQq6XWSuK1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD4xtXA2ae
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuZgk0Ezkv
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIdXZDPTia

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4kzX8lKRv
much at all for a while.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2sexpVRJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH3nTtB9Nn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaYFWbE9E5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgX3MySfrV
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcju5B8PHY2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMBiCI8rE5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisDQd7GMxF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYxpaPpmAP
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4zZVYdRwy
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCInPQ0me5
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H5fYw3cMv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUndHy4jsok
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebTubABBov
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZqMYVDBIn
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIpKpgHrA
home.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXJUJMHLIx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUiBz57i7p
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax5BM5FUlg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTymRQqeB3g
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoPHdr5PTz
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQuzkMQLEf
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0cH1GME6D
Miranda might still be around.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QkUjpUOWJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgqELE1hUJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt0RctJK5A
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFWLl1Rt8q
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5EViY3oC0
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9zaNwNUY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOpy7MRcfp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuYosnPF4Y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkoDMGjenC
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz89RQjCU4Q
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMM6zHjrxZ
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuv3KX6LIi
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9oJ40TzR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBcrYKEQ7w
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6chUETTaP0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOc1CZZQpY
“Alright,” said Leo. “We better get going if we’re going to get Oliver’s ice266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGzDzJvgo8
cream.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXaP9Ltb4T

“Oh, I forgot about that. Why don’t you go to the room while I go bring the car266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6tdXgJULe
around?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKb16yn4WY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWmrEi9NSk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ZKRuYBsU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzeTvF4GQd
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpXorhFFsm
the bar area.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEvWCtPGAe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SB21ViSin
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHZwSKOeKD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSbpOhFWh4
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx7KryhVyo
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRgy3pQrtR
they started to stand up.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CRJjVQqHn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I0ggaUvTI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprX1oCsL0G
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn6H23uuyb
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xc172KfMw

266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT5h8XkyyE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fSXx8wmIc
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedAoe7bupS
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6CngJjVVO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9yit8adbR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpVuFdMQtK
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM6uC1s27B
see.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpnocaeKpK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjG1VLfZ5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GORG08uQ9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOoxWI3vqI
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfknWUTm2cs
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciz0vGjcwb
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6NzcIBFzH
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ33MWP3eW
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFGLom0O4q
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9dZGsTRia
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTfE904KUl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrFw9HJ2xj
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqyaowSN2l
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0zhJ4RM4G
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRTJsEpH42
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprMQguLZic
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP5zYjUa5r
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTIdFu5j4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpCBZ8shEu
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOLaqB1mv
seen us.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzeBmDL6Et
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM69N9jbuc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0aRDXf6y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuuLoKaX9e
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7nBiNx0W6
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oMjqFJ8DY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHEWjbHjYa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawzXNOXEYY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkVr31j7DJ
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgas6mMAWE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmJgN126GC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUraEgncbL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayLAvL0bll
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI8P8MFC56
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluro5l1jQP
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tnLvGq5Lf
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZTMeMQcjW
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIACPjh2599
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPFrl5TKAe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHpKrOaAat
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsfuUC8TZ6
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSqgtEFUFH
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrnR5aOA8S
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO401Pm0wSk
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTKcqQ56I6
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFIi1AgtOT
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMwwLNRFa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnipLhns2F
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dWovAq6qK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtm9SdTtv0
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zDABN3Dmu
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbvYqY4IEC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEv2jFnRkK
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNGJseWOfc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONI9N24LZN
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg47hMWcKhS
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0oU4Sf2Q8
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvccCrOnvh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9FoM6cYNu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ntpr1cUxj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcrkTKdUpY
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp2k0m8dwh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1783fkZra
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPf5KKFI8e
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J2V6lEISo
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdKadKYSPh
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW7NmccIdn
this wasn’t over.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOeqaM3DOe
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlKrPvN0FZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKrLDPBfKL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5lCt4Irvq
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCD28bBcvP
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexohB0jyJ
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHHtvVR5co
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV6yVcjSkA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYXOno9mL0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwhmBhYK79
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne2tByoIvq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTjvfHdgrg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQiicdsgfa
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi62nC48EN
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEOFNCmZj
favors," said Angel.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy175GoMAW
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NdU7EXbaS
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC3slXczbk
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXdAU6vZkU
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9HWrqerDa
they been there?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBUE3kXfh5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qonSJm9nY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnJFToUnmf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZOjrZ39XD
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACAqsXHItC
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2owPPB8CTv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMpzEO8Zr4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjbyGCJC6b
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghJsP3hpDR
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0klgaBU4R8
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1f3AF4FwG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QgnbF2p7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomm4OCLMgA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sl5MSRBh
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc27B4gPik
so you've got to be careful from now on."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28pYWYmPEG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbcCXLzGDR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqqD3qaLkJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaJjXktoKJ
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1FZ5cJzJS
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQWZsnjWi0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPMO7a5Qik
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekjnakuxUo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPaSsk3SRI
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDsXTZRsME
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNvFoN57HF
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhMDmKAXmV
night only.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBIyxHDru2
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPQuOHPgLf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZubumHe9A
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRKx1xSQ6p
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQQwc4z34q
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTazAPTlWYG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCpLuxuGzH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlasRD02VHF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aIrR87ZC7
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ14Qd29HUF
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26Mbfk7rhL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsiXGnFC1d
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoFiDa1TV0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Pc99NqhP
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXTGVR7kv3
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdjNuQSxw8
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkj1QP4sFA
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL1bNiYAPW
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSeQhVrNyO
want one?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfUIAgAiGE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOz5JtI15Q
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFkcUTHt5J
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnixdhQUVh
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr3X58kKKO
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdpejx7caS
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4wSZwtFDt
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPYtdPJ3yZ
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz8dQowEhd
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SBnE2rH5B
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzHk0GkR10
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hlryLm7QH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNyFeNT3OA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda1gIktFkB
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37NVvb7ixu
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJzSapvPDM
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKZxY1GAN
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsMGG73Ngl
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yVHktndiP
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE3cVLFJuR
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHomK0UMIf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bSZzhZs8K
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hdo0MBlJu
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU72bweFxUi
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBBLd8V0ut
relief, it was Walters.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa78BD1C2Q
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bDy4J20P8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIzZWu75AE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8wv5w4Gqf
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkFsxMR8uj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw2OVriIqv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpVJ7aHaVl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiY74bB9pI
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9OuwxA7qP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3keuW02vO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9a4bYhFX0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau6DUMOZ2A
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpXgzVvOb
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xEZDjoPvQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBHwPIBw8u
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wVZXzUHzD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqRXDlQVXe
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFvkf8xfE1
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BYPNuIXyD
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxKeRWJjCx
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy0azRZ2JD
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WLZF9VAnF
Lion?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCUqm141pC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJDR9NyZ4T
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM1yEWbfgQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUnwNTBgS
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHTf3TYAhM
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHfNqssqAy
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6oRFhjbfz
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU2C5X2Kd1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGQpXTiliu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98UQMMoyVT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp4ZVmyeR4
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWP9VGAUha
