“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qtseOC9u
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIhsAivgMY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kKchbrLPY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsAmUMcC6u
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZEw7K4RT
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupnz1epaf

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUUCH9wOUJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3mLLevtmQ
“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9pmPYfZsK
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRzsugjM5H
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGBaRmnoXO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPVScgqnuo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNczqVdppMo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBowWedB10
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vKlR8D0Z1
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzf4vK4lj5
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo03ZPqgmwf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7UPjKLFeg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQykxV2V5hj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Gh7uxzGc
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog1syBV7ij
want to say it.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvc87AOdPR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus64LeWEjp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Qyz4a6x1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYay6YEtT
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hE2KwcjiV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmA256MQ3Z
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgtWDlg5gJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoYeIORsDD
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0k1w67QXt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY63kzzxtQF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO59cLeVHQZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqtvPj4F9n
Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkpDZLYb00
because that’s just how she is.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHEF6yKBWb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Q2LUIQo2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQHxtAOJVu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo7WlWB3LR
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJlSGDKsB3
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOefjb4CX9
your fun.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w35upwNhX
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzR3QjU4Pe
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCmSxNsmTg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhiapKdHdM
“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjdCdMF6Qf
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1bNe60yJ
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUz4J043YA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZEK1zogd4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaiv2BWofZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTjCJ4tJ8d
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXyCPCEasF
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqlgIdLhyj
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxAmThRVs
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7GBxrtSOa
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIJsSDv0yq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhlqYdDkzM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMaPrpQGnn
“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUys2XBsoT
thoughts.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWz010e2vu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQdTahhgnT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIphN9EbUJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPX5DMCjuU
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Pa76QzWG
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7hImGbLB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb0OLbkTl0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFsmu53Hii
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J7M1Ipa1e
“I’ll go over to the table and ask what drinks they want. Do they have snacks162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5A7ts9lls
too?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkWRsJAtlM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgRCuYBnTd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDftJtntAI1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD3bjVGMYd
“Yep.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpDubJtR4D
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrhpaQXAhS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK6ZtOQpX3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87CNMBSatl
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdK2m5bBX5
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17w7Y5LUuc
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtueKr1r5qG
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQUbm0se7V
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ468Vxv3QpE
that they should join Angel and the others.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LAmNq65Zm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkd4y1ZTo0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p2ergVBZh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre6v7bfndk
Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L8yCCJbur
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkxzsPdjWA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAjefleQV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp0J2xAxi2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJlUBasqim
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiFhRDqH2H
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzYme8pHzZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXwQ0mCT7G
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP17q8ChfFA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvXbWscjXC
“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPJuXT84Tw
tired.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8KG8P4Rp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON7xkRwQVn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mx7CDpKhD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5X05vTOmH
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmEsF8pSb
a drink right now.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcl1GXWDKr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8Lonlle6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bYYUtBO73
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkRCIJMdHp
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp7XXELfI7
their sight.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbfW8YOH8v
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iz0x3xRtY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaFBxxXNrn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLqgJwg0Q
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF7qBoXnjQ
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zAYokHiM
they aren’t at their table.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEViMntvcoT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCxZzaGllJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviNRJHdU9R
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoySZyg5U8
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfqPqOMko
the counter.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pXqMqXFxg

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYhi7NTvHG
Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA55E0ty4zT
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIULmqlgHQ7
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatUvkIW04y
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcCq6I0Rel
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbcOVDyOmI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2gJsU8oFJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SmnssGoWr
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjrnuwZjp4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k2NkwdTmC
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrAeYRZCv4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1s6QW3iGD
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmp6pk3kRr
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUvjvwhRFM
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw9mX2kd5s
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrCfsdd1CW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7euooN8dAq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf4SWWTeaS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG8O3RNO3w
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTitrvl9cV
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ydDvci5yO
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYzT1NTpwr
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtcwN3LgIg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxi1uFVHIJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1cDQKgq33
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpcNIzecV7
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR15n6vXhJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJsUrHchnk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7nyt7qn9t
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugORPsL2UR
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4zXCvBLkn
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5GmwwzWP9
would speak first.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfoMok8CL5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0eOb92M87
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnp15Z0mNM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI8zHEwO09
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZLcqiaLiS
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIsqXGRqF8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lkIpPKndh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ549k7JBi4h
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9eVS7jwwM
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqXd8cbgDf
he gets here. I really need to step out.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwClsHkIAoz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsZD11Z2dl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsISTRVqJi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtXZxoGVHU
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD4ozONKbE
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJCG10h80C
it was hopeless to do so.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqQqSkluSt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLwMq8d2sS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06xP5isMye
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xh5qo4NQQ
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG7RXhwMZB
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR3JDGrHBU
Walters calls.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QHkZb1TvK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLp0tSew9l
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oS0GRAIZJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixFAeuDIxu
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGssTmNFRX
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY584M5R1RJ
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXVb7PuhwQ
minute.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zIHdVy9uO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm91zZzt2kq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP6DqhqG0s
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1k7IWSBUe
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4p6HjUwUF
door.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi55MBUEALJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM0lpMj0Lh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz5rmgkkk2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO6qxbNxpi
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxroKpmHH6F
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXd6BPX8tb
any moment.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh7j44dL8u
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5CCCt9nl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l2LIlEEGN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkUroD8mxX
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9sSpGlca9
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Q0KJ13Ob
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC2epqAU9b
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhH45berS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM1THM3WxL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruvj6R7MZ0
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHoVBIAbfT
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5AKVi98fs
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNfWVYjRkM
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNlacHJMAQ
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK33y2Ozv5

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcDy9yPTIr
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MsmMdKcyz
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvrmPnJR2k
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsGxw73MUc
next day.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzKroWmEj3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6i8EbYadr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWD9kOT3Z4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDva98Yidl0
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhguhSzt6Vb
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSeENFim1j
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YtvkHokmT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYziTKq60yo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfQYoWEGW1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSNLYLt3su
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHENHLBUaD
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9KFFAg8ma
Eric and shook her head.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5NSoQk8I0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV4uRlPjli

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLHiIS86as
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTOp58tUIX
thanked him as Leo sat down.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEorxnX8vBv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJgFbZrwB2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFPj45ygn4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNThMGOux
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMFFXBYaH3
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7QPxK7lcB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfPvlZNCUT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZXk5DZqvj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUnU0IzRPu
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEo4GBN3PR
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWEgVfi6ji
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jkPS8T0ua
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzmwds3N6p
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoMpSvqiPI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfW6XybgP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYoQJe9qY7
“He’s right,” said Leo, finding it hard to argue with him.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwxrxAxpJI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2U2StQVu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD4SmoDQkY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZDR7VuJW7
“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3GV4P1hk3
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzzSLc1Gw7
cheese.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ks7yUVp1h

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA3waSDYtc
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8ZFf5XM1
Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxNj8YdIAV
they all burst into laughter.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH9jxZ0UhO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNOdxNJZFM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNATMTcg2L
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kj3u2Wakl
“Maybe,” said Eric. He tried his best to stop laughing, but it was of no use.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfUjx2UJNg

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W3twDbp87
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXSnZXxwYT
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCXZRamg2M
supposed to inherit it, not me.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84jgR3K6SM

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdqrCtO24H
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxMY32VRMh

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFv4pkEImZ
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXYHpTH4a6

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlfFrWANOk
All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEDsxltB3L
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbJ987GpdS
out his hand to get a nacho.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEnGcrQM8v
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCxYxdXjgm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgqFxFZNwb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX2vZWjvBT
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK5JZmLCJI
afterwards.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFXhq1TQE1

“I swear, sometimes I feel he’s older for his age,” said Eric as he shook his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe01xBUmvse
head.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsobUJhJ3ik

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkicABiCgd1
“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXqlW1KTwE
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wQ0fhqy1M
the future.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXZtGNA4jO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn6Ndl0qY9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPosr6mLKnp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIf6yDvML
“Yeah, let’s not push him for now,” said Carly. “He’ll sort all of that out162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrksC74SgeJ
later, when he’s older.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi4so6sgWB

“Well, sometimes you don’t really have much of a choice. Isn’t that right,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs2rWfS81u
Leo?” Marco asked, his eyes fixed on Leo.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ18uuaUch

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD5lV92oEB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLr6G3FrxR
Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGLbFupNU9
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7A9ZtAg7Q
the statement.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgMviVkB9T

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4zix7kw13
Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxonXjyJeb
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBHZy3VWdx
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GQZYgN6qz
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vw3pGUW7u
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOt4arH2S
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2G6ucglLI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WOyKSVXuu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0fM5dQndf
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9pEhkeOu1
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3prklOwDzH
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSa1B7TaaY
elsewhere. What should she do?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOW4003tb6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fa7q4bvoO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEUt8AJBVU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8whh8vqG
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55cfxPdGOz
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWkXiR9WQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDz8JBq7Bt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmTNaBYavF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4pqAbqzV
“What is it?” she asked him.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQ45eF1U9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgEGOrzx49
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmWWE1fPDK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeojCz6zLs
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkB4sjvZAN
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5XpepnHV0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA08gCItMcU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh3j5yJMLk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAMWmKovGv
Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMO6MPGmb
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsMxqNUbPQ
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9UvFSsKvC
necessary.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEBnhxODZO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISeX8FFY9u
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIm6Lq7lHU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL06HBOFGGy
“Thank you,” said Angel, smiling at him. “Picking this outfit wasn’t easy, you162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDtgLQVp8t
know.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRr7hpDMi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFawa9NLFL3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8eilBIvWF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIDlF85ger
“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsTPzYmb8C
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkIpdOGpNo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXWlSM2ZHp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8h4Bi3oWm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZX3r0BRq
Carly, who looked at the two, smiled. “He’s not wrong there,” she said.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmvDyJZm2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc1JqwD7Y2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XLUrTx2so
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3vFsaKWAC
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZnlUWBz40
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wsqRrORT8
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPqrCuQ2mf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ3sPijG3w
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZpCXXIHq1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrhXiHcoG1
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWijllqtiwt
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaSf2Rp5zk
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhcgD7FLpe
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu1FnGfThW
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqxnf2rGxT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYkcsrBl6w
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWG2lVdo4j
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEQ1rXVC2n
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9I24p9uUn
us.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnwqPGcHC8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMfxF0kYw8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kC0zsEEIL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItp7EQQT5F
“We better count ourselves lucky,” said Kim.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0yOwHGdxn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxIiWSk29S
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s2DzhfiQq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInC3NwLunV
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wbxncOdZn
have a feeling she saw us and wasn’t into the idea of Eric seeing us too.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVOHaIOXPN

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQRiOnjU6u
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTw7H6V6hY
Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7sdvQqGHV
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs8PULU1W2
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEaZ9DDfQN
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrXj2q5pnC
counter for a drink.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxLW9KNPJd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7MY6UkqGi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BKEPpW145
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9gdkelxUh
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssrqcwa80X
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69B1idUoT
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV9cLA5kpH
has.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rFRAUWneh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghqwZuqeJT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNqH3r0hM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNBIrPWt7d
“You’ve been in doubt all this time,” said Kim. “Why don’t you just give up and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi6TBr45QX
leave? I’m not going to stop you.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbR9ZZuZU6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hivUpbT7i
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEgVemhda8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOX8ZYOn2v
“The reason I am here is that I’m afraid that you might mess this up. Your162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygBp5rCgUn
obsession over Leo leaving you for someone else is really starting to get over162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWeEUGH9MG
your head. If you aren’t careful, you might hurt yourself more than you are162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYS7GXEbd
already doing right now.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgepNnVh4X5

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHuWUXzlnt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNDw95JBbn
Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl82TcEbMa
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2rsBfTSXY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheCi8cYv8y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjP6ADmboh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WpypCqVz0
“Like I said before, if you want to, you can leave,” said Kim.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZFdPBAgvu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UAEZdPBp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDJNleYOw3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILPIJzOQ3G
“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqov9yvklFZ
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrKYkbxLfL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHLvHn9pFk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68GUMCpr2Y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBnFKvskAN
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb4nzfoNVJ
just as jealous as I am,” she said.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctsXq6TydO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUERsTnZQVu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmaPI3W3Zf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVv3130uD4
“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hN8zhBJ4Q
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GmLKfT36l
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAppmKc6eWx
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nRA0pXVl7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6rmj4yjzW
Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1cwKjuDzt
Leo’s lover, I’ll let this go.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9r5s3oxFT

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnFeZI2Q5I
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSwnV92NW4
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wrBhf5fv
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKodwXdtvN
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VXO8PMHMN
go of him that easily.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt73h5veZkw
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFIvct1nZ0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfvn5PBeN5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJAV2u1OfY
“Are you trying to say I am psycho?” Kim didn’t like where their conversation162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVRYBWpnxE
was going.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN1iWXZOXV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7NcJSCL4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbevg1ATey
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDYHHi4ttz
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07sKMdDbC2
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wd4EgKusa
isn’t going to do you any good.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoZkFQDDer
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tppN6swwO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIMFE48ePc
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA55sbM6ujk
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk5tmoghsp
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRjoHf4l7N
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcmhyVqxcT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseaOL7z0hO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXABkZWChx
“Okay, after tonight, I’ll try and let go of Leo,” said Kim.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnaTcAv6ix
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEdmdCIiWB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5GCmSAeGL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5gGNPfw9r
“Why not now?” Trina asked. “Don’t tell me you’re going to follow through with162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeSJeclRq4
your promise after you see this lover of his.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EI7GznC2B
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3EI2K6eTr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NiDLaLZeT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADyWpE0AEa
Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrx5gJyAa3
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ffwBdE5ku
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbvqCqOOXJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2ynNx3NF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2gQ0tGe0s
“But what if we don’t see her?” Kim asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLociyhDk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBCn239AWW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mXUPROant
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMJFEtS4XH
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3J3A23l7
us some drinks.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4RL3C3k9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wZRFbHrZr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32qE7UWeQu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEffQoKT6UT
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejpu4SFsNq
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhdaK7E6I5
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx8daU6YBJ

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uk6DL2Sat
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiqUsTPqp8
she didn’t even give them a second thought.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJSpNGLdsD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtZ884QG76
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkKkBucj0T
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mYWNmKsGZ
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEA4P3JsCg
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK3MSJS7Cs
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZJLK8kjBy
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTkE0PF28Z
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCfmz3Ri66
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRPZxyMmEi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrey8Zl53G
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobbtcQdZaT
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZrasH67vJ
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKKTVypv2U
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKkJptAhil
she wasn’t too careful.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkHX2Qcr2y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ923eAhsU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Uw1r025a
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMcB8YZIN
She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9PiJ8vmsa
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4nYW3M6MW
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZmZZdaqkz
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsa0qdMOYj
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDrbrA6cl5
things.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU116x2dl6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6WRHGLIs6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls6cFGMQbu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwD33JD1Rk
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4RiK1nfba
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ISP6ny4h

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8sXHGGcBQ
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlxxHRMtLN
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnG8tdLk6L
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq4bI98LK6
her face.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVbWtzgmRu

“Seriously, ever since Albert puked on me at the work party, I told myself162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN7gy1FlAl
never to drink with him again,” said Leo, concluding his funny story.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FEwk7r1B6

"I remember there was one time back at my old college when I got so drunk162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi28EA5r0In
that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaL9r07wGj
were having a closing year party as a class at a friend's place. I got so162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkWsR79aNm

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjGteqwskX
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUma7aAEwra

Marco turned to look at Angel. “What of you, Angel? Have you ever had any162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tK1YzaZWB
embarrassing moments when you were drunk?” he asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpm0UTRU5D

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMvxj33cyG
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoKwlUNXy9
Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAUeMlx1lO
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSppIQc87B
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFspg5G20L
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcA2G4wcco
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzG3noXt5p
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OSy41G7MK
"So, Angel, do you take any alcohol?” Marco asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCUdVUvaKF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV03QXUBUU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERzyhQ7Qmn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpFJM1unMo
“Of course, I do,” said Angel. “Except that I like to drink wine or champagne162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2orSfC0oFq
on special occasions.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6igCF6hTD

your preference suits you.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWVAuLVKW0

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam5b8pYJLV

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2AW6kGI3G
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ygRX3xPA
The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9e2DR52QJ
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdzanM2Qj3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBibFqi3N
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r3AImYi4o
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenCgd2xlLn
“What?” he asked with a shrug of his shoulders. “I hear people who drink such162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVECtoi86Y
are considered classy.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPgQDn4xYF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv8j43ot5N
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJBun2ZOy7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBahqEsCaB
“Wow, someone should tell him that he shouldn’t judge people according to what162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1v7O4Qmlo
they drink,” said Eric.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3AWb73cQL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFvcWMkEp3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPvKu8FBMy
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzriMhbcZnN
“Well, Angel is classy, isn’t she?” Oliver asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkFNgrt1Mg

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhAh3Cn6RZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQOkbraki
Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7AzCAnC44
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8wcbSCcoV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfv34IdEm3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3R9OPptbd

“I agree with Oliver,” said Marco. “Angel is in a class of her own.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeR5i77z7H

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb85znKOn68
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWD5c7jbDu
“That’s being too sweet, don’t you think?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Cy7CFp6i
Marco.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDG7iDqQim
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Uxtz2OQ1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwOp1Tt9YI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96QjPQlbam
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntIaEXlm66
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06adDMs7E0
her than just her beauty. You’re a man, and I have no doubt you see it too.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVECws5nBF

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3Vc1I0Gq
Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybLavxJFQ7
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rF3MGqxC7
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQqhQDFGGo
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3GSZUUo41
sincere.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIHsHHGnE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTPx5vvRmo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yjOsfkJm1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY47Pl2CqtJ
Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUdT1cp4eY
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthyqGtX44f
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Zgr8JGGs
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzD0DbFRo6
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBAWMcC7X4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRqT5OOvqS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LXROJsFb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN0dw9QX5s
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78u87FacH9
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf5HiI20C0
ease the tension that he felt, but nothing came to mind.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yjW1k0MED
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOunRqACmzX
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqt4SGsqKg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1lE8lOnF
Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXcOnFdGlf
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8dGM2huny
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEVXkO71a
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSrlsaZTzt
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby5ZPxDS6f
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TjoetmoCD
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGL5TDzFch
for it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWjFZbdOFO

“We’re out of nachos,” Oliver announced, bringing everyone out of their162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHVl4O4oel
thoughts.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BBm1xX0NV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR88bpLelGe
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JgRZN1gy8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDydhTQGxv
“I’ll go get some,” said Leo, grateful for Oliver finishing the nachos. He162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBliiLHeiNc
really needed to take a breather.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Am3rDG0WO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7yEdEkOkr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg0vj02q0W

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRuljuCFnI
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWevV7PbM
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h5R8jAZSU
though she had woken up from a bad dream.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJDDLL61XA

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6maq9C5d
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKByhKHBr90
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy1twMjBuV
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzES0wMyxx
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOlOQ40xyD
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlCpepu4pc

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzVjgaxM1g
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgusUyiJeSN
Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLnyClvwTk
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt2QnXs2sG
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSL8csVw2
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOy5Abj5Xo
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdChcL3vsV
herself.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GWrFAQEjx
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9povhPhmCW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6R12lJKo3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUUs1YqBi4
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xl4R9ZCqD
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF3qgt90dP
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3qLHSYf5I
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO8J7sLZYu
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRVjqnTZho
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE02Wnhiky
notice her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT6bIedPJh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJylVjqBWU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwnBA0mGVP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTTS10Qga5
Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CqfReeODA
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIfRUXyald
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLeUKYauv
own business.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qmYh4ofhl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9QyGPlbro
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUtUa7DDud
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmxYwdTZ93
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRnaYi1na
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvitmGOAkYc
surprise.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjypRovdjn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTGfYoxjQA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvsKyEFYF6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OGOtyJu9i
“I remember you from somewhere,” said Leo.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0esARNp3g
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUE0alxSB0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEynaMjpmL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfMUW41piz
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7BuqJRNZw
“At the candy store.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Ec7zBrL9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4rloOBeq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aoC7l4eN4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreDVwu5QQG
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbyiZWQ6vB
bumped into that moving shelf.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwSWLxqPF3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsECwnmNth3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXLVq57NS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXwgX1pZUA
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrB8qyiUHC
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAougL2j6M
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZ9ZtxBww
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmMmhGESq
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG36tELKsM
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXNf1xWgls
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXJsuELkZl
forever.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7eKMyCayD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR8qjhqu3V
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrB8AyOY0W
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxeFsLPJqj
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7XZHe9fxI
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nnpy1HvTA
their conversation ended here.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjsBonGL4m
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcylMxCVP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30dBzYy3Uw
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwQNEJasf3
“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKX9mvX6wP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3RoRFXZEi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OQyjGjzJ7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGAgm5DbJh
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0GmzEhIJQ
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRWcPkHZKr
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1OY7K5TR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx3zDLt1r1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIMgz97hgy
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxLQXWUm2G
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZObuB0G3dQ
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS5GP9ouAq
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5iUfNN80f
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCzfamZo1p
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkd0zjLiCo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z2UAh2Hvz
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2P4wjtCSe
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmy2eJ0EQ9
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tjYP9wE1J
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyaUMKIRqY
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0n0lQoh4n
leave, but after she finished her martini.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhcpkfGLUs
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1h3RuTh4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JKIFmnq0B
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYkd3CvA34
A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtSYY4zVKQ
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAs45OxNvA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjNdTzZ5Su
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs3NoT2WTT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlh9rz52ZJ
“Thanks,” said Kim.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7kiWZzBpd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZ1vpQVqu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJHHsAv84
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OrjjxYyRO
“Have you thought of what to do?” Trina asked. “We can’t see Leo from here.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbINelqWCp
That’s if you really plan on catching Leo with his lover.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt0FZ8Je8v
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17DStXEJmt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPdwc2vHBN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRCNLMUay4
“I thought of sitting by the counter and peeping on him,” Kim suggested.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxDhHeaJP

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW67j0ftLqV

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwRfspSO9P
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmRuQoidp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yxQ6J0x6e
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5TyCaHoFF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ176BkrI9zo
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMMvuLXYCl
Kim’s shoulder.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAKvpt1uqK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVXad01l3d
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek7hTSzDKQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsPyTDWD8k
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf66seMamn
idea. We should get out while we can.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6XqR9V88X
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLRlxElYvB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqac9fuTezy
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55zCHFSznf
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YKUMWRva
the conversation. Let’s go.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBNDzcBKO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9P0GsZnxu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ472lDNujUj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeFxvzWlbf
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4cxQxlcck
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFWVvEPxXt
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIsNGTPWKF
were able to see Leo’s table.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRLjai7ltD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkJUwZx8A3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s5vtSN21C
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnn8DFc1Cz
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Hoghz1Xk
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsQ1lb7o2W
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k32HFxkeW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1Vqnj7in
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39A30zRSTx
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeUFbWVP1W
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qbMCe8YY3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQApiU9ldvh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57jlvfg9OT
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzZ6x0qtqP
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQORedfVooJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtlfPtlu0G
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLik1xcxMtk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i6NEyk7cz
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENJpG8fxbo
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpackWaJ7Nx
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTgdUipS8F
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVwtU0pENA
counter in anticipation.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SueliiDuS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E3ak6QxuP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsllqQcic2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZtnaWvBmo
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWEwSQ5eru
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6pm0XjbN7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHZcdfpB4C
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKfdftc3IT
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwgYK3sUOt
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQVG2kajzq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZyqkuogvZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4iW8FgVSp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXa3SxYII
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFTtLz9LPE
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDGrxMwEHR
head.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0yyJM0vnn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8PRmFTMdl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqMici44OQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf9VcPyxBh
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLykCk0HQ5
not at that intimate level.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAGqBrSA9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyvkXHGfRA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAyEAsW4nb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROEMD24CVm
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6d48kHJak
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lYOd3YUhw
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAziXnOwE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IyZaFMxbb
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3377xVvTYG
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB4L71kdwH
he was being friendly to me.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOoPhOgo6Z
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesnLImKOE9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilT4Pr4gsT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYobrEqXkE
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz49mQmV1Sb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsyu7dLTxk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx0fJJPIiN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsqPo5aSK9
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbE5czsEV
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfhw5vi1xg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplgftjJ4KM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUVkRnKVDo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVinWyA51a
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bCzGKzq2
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoU8HSyjS1
counter.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDAb9XUXhD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleqlSt4crf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67KV1Yo9l
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBZwQqfI08
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8bCtTSqGf
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPU5nW7xy
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwepvGEqWDD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v1QTDSI4Z
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIwQ4BlKDb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5n4Yp28hn
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe8wOrkEi5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDF5vjQ32W
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CVAzU0MN5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3NUZYcnS7
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHjgsAbaZ
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EdL4u2dVp
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz1KTIM5CY
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQQk1d37kE
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGW5kbcL9O
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigG6vKvp4X
that was different from Carly’s.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9uUi9FrvM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPk6NFYRph
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYO8dDjwn6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRYJrnXizs
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbFZpX7tmX
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvouNMB0an
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARvrnVBDF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXidx15fsA
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMAFhHRa2K
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPSDDWHTdN
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrswB17Sdj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGD0qdx5Ar
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WjutO5ORy
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5t7Ing2EF
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdVTQNoAz
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG0wUBC6Ri
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUG3StXkV
doing here?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVTOhDwiFM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpIdUVRZL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjZSrox4EN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9TQyWwdsA
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYu1UwFmL6
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xir72p2mu
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RerlZIcfl
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73gvVLljXT
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPdJH8BYVQ
surprised look.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ849YdabxrO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiUsbu0V1K
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjrMHJzz3W
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ASY84dCC
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEzHRxxfC2
get her attention, but she thought better of it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBNxRur9Kf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19yColnZ9p
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPxH2tlf9D
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2IfN9TM8u
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWOCEFuDOZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkkgxLevR5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lgXrAax9x
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTp1KMpMV
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZj9jqbQxF
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBhEilZNYg
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfMiYfMOG
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglcE7rvh6y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDxTkk9Gtd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xfw8Dn6u9
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H8c69tUPF
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SbelKHfzO
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikRsupz7VY
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1lZkqQT5U
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxtD2sHYyz
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsTjYnaOSX
the table.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNkYXwsoh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEBVkmprdZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPuP61snzW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdRxwCy1Xg
“What was that about?” Eric asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PsSjQtELA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8AmfcL3Rp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrGEdhk0QV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFVsR8r3AU
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSL3kEmHBj
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEat0w1z34
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWdEFhKp56
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeXRDMno7R
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjiYfmXJqY
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dsu8xTQHy
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY4a8LI8k5
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzTwQb3k1m
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dpAY47BJN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKheXzjBSGu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLiXsWt6k
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1sdxAA1Tz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc2rFYRY9I
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq7E3oI82n
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMCmzKmXaL
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMozTo2OBv
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe3CqaWQok
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9WsxM4nYk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRh15m0xBt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGILIe2Dv
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ08MOeUmRM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyQ3ljfate
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnFk0073yg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kl6L1VC5T
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQySKpIn2og
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xPgykXGlz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSaByjdS4N
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBDf8Ke8KK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfKGVuNQS
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jvOmSoW6b
said Marco.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszWiWxhsXr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ87zfFdvy
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXzce9tty4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDF24EgfbW
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUVhS8Wz51
more handsome than you.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND0jCXaYLd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYhBhABCnl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyU9F794uM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lur7YSdqA
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnl3NFAKJe
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5FWh6FnhR
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpyXf2kVAA
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K9gbLU2qw
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU4ZzrOZsN
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVtZN46jvu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoyNp6j3Fc
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpmUKK9NKz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvX1TYPfcT
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhi8GQRuT2
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R2gzPaSjh
thinking about.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j41mzKgAT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZCNztEAo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP4DuDPRPt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2xcsclzgP
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8peDltXV
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexyfUFR5LS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYld0izjTAj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgsLl8gHm7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqivJ2irUT
Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECSUultInu
brother’s face.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHJxgpD1MF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZXHocP0iT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRkDxt58gG
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbpOOoAWKT
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb1FCJjAwD
at Oliver.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17i3oKG9MR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvllHW56tly
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBVAjjZjUc
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nOJWd2NDL
“I hate to wrap things up here,” said Marco, “but I’m done for the night.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22I9Vu2iyW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX87GgU0PUK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBCH3kmiKT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUSURgyn3N
“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Eric. “We were really having fun.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsZ8rapQU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE54c0O2nAn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoB8ulP1SZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIQHrylkeq
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDyHOjAU8t
heading out too.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvA8b7QgWv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWItNilShj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrlxfgONUI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx0u9d6GLn
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS1LyjL9sp
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyv64l0BRr
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPwgJMpqZ6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGeDBocWyh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ93PyM8RbL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScvDHufGq3
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC2vBRMdOI
way home.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fSrvwvsvV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DgItn9Xr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYSiKULVF7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CXyah5zuw
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCWNxN59FY
here.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE6aLINY9g
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9kqlJcOJb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLKgVA8Aiv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuJ69wa2Bq
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ind1FoYI7
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqDejP7EcW
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHvzdIRMo8
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAhKNPgwOJ
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU6ZsAHsHz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXeFXKG2tf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3AfQyu1FS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCF9xwevlp
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIxGhiK2C2
little longer.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo4OEJEoOK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tkrMjZ5hK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbgEiWJ9J
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XuLryJt8v
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwWDXJ0orZ
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63QBQeXLkV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C9xCM1OrV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP6txeNxqa
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujeagLu1yy
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXXWdXPEfc
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LfTkLnJwK
get your number, Angel.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnexmhXss
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxr7czLMBE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gXLzrTs2t
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3bbXRr1Zl
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv0LWBA295
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYa3J9rdas
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBBCZWPmmh
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnxghTOlos
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLKIAhynZT
care less.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRHU1XSufm

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGybXDQGVVN
should do this sometime soon.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbRfkgRsuM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bey7LnUXl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfub58b07yu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XjgsEW3G
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ922NQF5lwp
difficult.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEgogb6UtV
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv0slSo1H7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEanPx7TxO
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw2i8CIiaN
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWseKH1bOt7
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOAGhQCeaD
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPkuL9drRF
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I7GBHqaBw

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVcec54hZj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswdfPkW4Z7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkOkMtKWFP
“Why do you say that?” Angel asked, looking at the boy with wide eyes.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj3lNsAAM2

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehoasl1j7P
much at all for a while.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTP3AtG29y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xwBimUoA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLqur8YXgA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacppqLnWK9
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7fZUJekvi
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5xLPzdf7y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHTz0thJ3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahQkrI9xej
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW74RPDw29Q
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qkre9rUvq
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LpeLQaw6C
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kqeRq2U4J
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hbl8awzmq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkW7v4F6KZ
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKZbZ9qMP
home.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm02l0k8WMt
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr7cu5Hi0C
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mwJaxzK5E
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMCyMlikWN
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrgcdIOhiN
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrg3GALn9
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXKMDFEe0t
Miranda might still be around.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhrCUSZXIB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaWBXxD97f
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PBBZ3nJbX
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdYCjkIJwR
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghm7ywRhe
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib2dngKj0K
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q53Idq8bT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJdycCQFAe
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLE8YJWUr5
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMkVLQNEj8
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6cNs5l8e5
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZzQ3I80Mv
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfarGzVwZk

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj850ROVkV

around?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI9DYn7KfX

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXp40P0WWa
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3SbhYFOJ9
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa0isQE5vt
the bar area.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4X1AXAnJP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWXp8obVAF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m0uLpfleo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AgMwDyTnw
Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ442BniEizr
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb0oEkGc0O
they started to stand up.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONKZDo5efz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtTzjlNYJz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOADXKavnP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJQSfYlf2r
“Look, they’re leaving,” said Trina.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pST1tyLq3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x1au9MTd4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNGZ2P72ub
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ9ZrNwagG
“Do you think Leo will get this opportunity to see his lover?” Kim asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGiNPQqXgG

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1LhNTxHyy
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XTWz6LNuG
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNcxstzfnE
see.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6PzlRDcIE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwibvuxT1se
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPsj6oz0Iv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmuvfdFRcz
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimMcA6gG5O
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPxFfv0eQ6
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwPBkYCOIQ
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvlSkBBrxp
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97840yDYeq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLH6KnVqkK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cqVqEUzZY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsEUSBh3t
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0UP0WxdVD
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LeFIRC44Q
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlto7Piqpr
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj93Fy7ID8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJoKLbCJlS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC1FSs52uo
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdIBxvDN8Q
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQm6vrDCv4
seen us.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmsMuVOpOB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSrQAl0Fhp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLH4bJau8H
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl70HRVeNf
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQb5cCjp9w
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3v2EKHXv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx62rrjcBB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbMeW4DreI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFariE6Diz
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3zqO0zxon
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXquRsZbu3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyHkF7Y2mm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYM8qDQlPq
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOGtf8Oh0x
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8tvIQvvIi
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf3KNSY3BN
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVsksNOlLW
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NCps1Rszr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRgpCgcDRK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkPpAbQ2mP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8gbuPsxUE
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalAzRHhMAs
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx9sIRw5Br
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmYCXlOhHR
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHGT24ajEa
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9e5upD0aT
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgUZs2oRPL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ923qGPSMeH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsnA4N0ljY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6oq1rhGYu
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDPJBhkWRO
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmF3FW9fSD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj87C1BrM8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDPtfbJv3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Zqeo1STs
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOfTBo9teU
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB8SbmKzLV
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKcq6qHyuu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRCihlPG9f
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZ6NLNNjs
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0KHnkJNXy
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpC2nywLD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrxrcRqrSZ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRzLDKwQSD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyhX9bUv4
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFM67Injgy
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i0pKRncmz
this wasn’t over.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CBy67PKS5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE7EPqn0Wn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBdQ9JUpE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYlRdQ5BVt
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupX2gR2IHm
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv163M8o2X
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBANPsMyHA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVwpmEJwI7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs104DyrfCT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl9tarL8oc
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoNY2d7su
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhrCcjj9E9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaw8gHMMsq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk10ESozfd
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjAgT4jpuD
favors," said Angel.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpshs6eZCkD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILL4zrPgG5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yXS2By9pj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ccZIfrmt
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuzsJVtsfe
they been there?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuyvKO23Tx
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZShAzpdyCb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlQDnnnyqh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyZTgtEez3
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0mriMldIA
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq95IPh8IUm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF3rt0uRhM
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9P93PWYp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgIya53BpR
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdywhvZID
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj5wpMmEsv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvVSbs7wO4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR41n82W4O
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KdOPsRUFP
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1qo2ISYW
so you've got to be careful from now on."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnF7MhtF0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6gSyBy2S
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhBkHZjG2a
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNmlFxCm9x
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHwqGiNW4e
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QoDKmYBYf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2NFjX3Nrb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkEkMllE2Q
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIRbaEaJcq
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcsjUcq362
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s3FXbAidN
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsIO2Rh08i
night only.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08sajgP1lA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpEsyZh0XJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0RzfOR00i
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AZ3jElGf
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ZMfbesMx
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmzogn7Jar
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsIrbHnAhh
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawlkDzitAE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YQX2GCDH
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpTkoeS1qC
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvG51XsHj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mo3oON7Eb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhwINJSkTY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rXePvhHXc
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pAr8vgS0G
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLz1DdLu9
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5YJdtm9h3
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvqMTwdqPb
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxYQs6oJKr
want one?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk9tK9CPzq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jxTwrBAq4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGS70FkqjY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8GUdlKHKC
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVk1ARuzv3
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vHYf4kIhh
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4LX9n3YZn
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQxOaqgal8
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwWJfv2HNj
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZnKmK1Hxa
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPlqUZQqFl
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcPGeaqlMS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXcUtkibN8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOxDEFyD7S
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ANfJNTfg
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaddroPH5M
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPddacrTfMU
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKNGyhhoZ
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfpuljKmSw
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3HnU5A5T
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrlvfeQBgx
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQ9x4342p
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfREDDToXBw
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas9epZjibS
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmN4YLDGBW
relief, it was Walters.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8poafG4dc9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1UFSlP7Pf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk4xltFwLR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mwSUose9M
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGQqN4eJM1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYUUvO1Rq4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ebBOsWOz6
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0DK4fJfjb
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230aC0y7tW
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM6vYpz8qg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMNaqfMxWx
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaztxkR7MBt
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbOTGRpl3
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZBNkkv22
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdQ7UABSQH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx859P3sjxE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ4gjTcrHH
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0xKyhAVB0
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkt5gfLbZG
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TaCHi5Hh
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHEr6R2afc
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmAmVsin1u
Lion?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShS5zBJAzd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnwYu0APJ0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN5gQY6Xwj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKImcSOLQI
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUlZhjasIH
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeLZvvINGu
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoyVu0JlkC
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAz4DYcKIe
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOQFZ8SRmA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcJXRXiGg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpFhbwzbu2
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDusuGMWWJ
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDGjKDqUZx
