Angel was in the living 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFfUM4sqq1
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqquNYQof20
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC47OHL9E4
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXQciL1fq
"How was what?" Angel asked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OA4fnF9K
"Getting to know Leo?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ncJg87oh8
Angel could have sworn 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl5DBz3BsC
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGN1gIKNj9
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T2zcfta1w
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PMoTAngT
"Really?" Amanda looked a774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadb7T3XS6e
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkswlfXO82x
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK5KL50byh
have offended you?" 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspHdOMrDx
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmD5xsYhOD
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw755iFKzwq
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFQIJafGp
"Awww, you're so 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvAxFWtaOv
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNhtgFJBba
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vpvr7BPdr
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJILkxjLbeq
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdoQ8RkRFi
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf1xcgUpZq
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtVQErBFER
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPxYsnywyX
Amanda gave Angel the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LmN3ipGJH
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhupBLs27Q8
to deal with writing. It suits you."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sk8d9YmQj
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN40CpxkeZ
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsDfzKzYmr
"What is it?" Angel asked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW7LbPVyzh
"You seem to be one 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyk2K98WnD
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmTF55IwJx
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ3kBSh9eG
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7VbbZ2bSA
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w9vPLNSLZ
"What?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ857mMj4h0q
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ER1u4FmL5
Leo who had just come in774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4kQl6hP5i
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNpOxlBd6o
just at the entrance of the living room.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss7h3fUV5R
"What did you just say 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFSWTcQV7
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQP6SPCoQH
the two women on the wheelchairs.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS13IYdWzMi
Amanda turned her 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFMXrZy0PN
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAHyEjjv3r
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi2BB1qmfX
themselves."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSdSEGCDwI
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyApnd78mI9
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy11tPLQU14
Leo couldn't believe 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEFZsVmaxp
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtMFDxdrTr
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiHDzhNJxq
"Haven't you thought 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVfRSTLWU6
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oF2sI5XaL
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6oYeE83vZ
job of her own?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UpfHwBm8J
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKaCD0hHjp
"You deserve better, my 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxxDa9n3Ga
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXWzVBYxE
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8WS1GRUoR
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM8JSXB6FP
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1P8r2H0D5
"What makes you so sure?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBiFGmPt1V
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ze9xmLEq
"Mum won't though."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSINABtFYF
"Does she run the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCCr6VGK9O
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C31jA4oYm
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZn7MS3eVL
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS8unlAXjt
Leo knew his grandmother774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBjP6LOuMz
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbGFcjeXDT
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMQZO5lPkr
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0l2cjLeZU
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg6guOwgRC
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHEVlHE0w3
"Don't say any of this 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVdpeTIlK
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zgg3QRFO3
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPApfJjkI9R
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak7lQN0BB0
have to convince her a little more than I have to."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPepRHGFMJ
Angel gulped. It felt 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kJJSj6BWu
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDwJuXqwgN
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFmnerXmQM
Leo made his way out of 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpueyoPOnl
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJKXgGHMSU
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwDUU6RGY4
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfiQYNWoHs
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDeY9lnMk
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwfk7Zr36q
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbWJ0lcHeQ
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkA6ofvY5P
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKKVSFcjWh
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqCOgqGUaP
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEJcmbmYRu
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQCyVosMPW
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX7a8OO4sf
"I'm talking about Kim."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8k5LHMhNz
Angel didn't know if it 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM4SwOTEk5
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5SjTWh0xd
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8hi3wuuKo
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6FGlcsB7
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7vb9zsyaa
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s2BCMmBH7
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpQQn37PC0
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3Hcs09wA
certain things?774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxZajviGn
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PRZnFaUbR
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeErWnOcQ9
Angel felt like covering774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54QrmiXWzv
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVnhzlEqj0
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SUkqP6Dkd
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg907u49tm
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirUOUuA4Q2
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOHQT6hK21
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJFSIiGbn
Angel felt her heart 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxskJARaO1n
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfiUtWMEqN
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5oHpNV6ne
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEVj4wXaRs
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMvSDeVBBe
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSlrJkNd19
and invited her to the wedding.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooumA9iVdC
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52S5DjKNc2
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdkSUsBcNO
Angel looked at Amanda 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtkfxydrvx
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4bd5h3qO0
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlheJlKsol
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAeRCFjLCz
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH6ySoIRnm
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3c6XT276P
saw Leo.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR2BlO179h
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FNauUKN1C
"Nothing, dear," said 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH1vmLZfZx
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr5qIoPLMr
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pI1a4PL6B
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOFwdNve0r
"Have a nice day."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPXL1lKukX
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLICtBAT0bF
Leo nodded his head in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNd6OkK8qb
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx8Tb7QdAk
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2RtbVvHyu
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlY0lhfNKV
through the front door.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn07vstrNy
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFebbrLcZX
"You're unbelievable," 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeqnlDjUCg
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsHUSztFxC
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBHUQ4tDSN
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs2YbRDtP8
"I'm sorry for that, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjntVt49FZ0
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgePK7g8GQZ
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYpUtE4Q3
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK12IkTI4k
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxEqIe36e4
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEWULw3ERa
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnSsIUbDME
Angel slowly followed 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYlky5vDRu
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG7MOX7Uv6
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gFZoYPEM
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vZcUg71yk
must have felt awful.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHItggVO0rL
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH2HuhdU2o
***774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLjZz5Mvf
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjFYMPpuW
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5fcI2XUC
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJVw2JSTDZ
He774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwqIRwsxGt
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92C82HriqY
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqnCYvrTE
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesibPyklL4
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5mZDblVLx
Since774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadetqIOtPV
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bDP7zmKkA
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSfNHMYqMc
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ww8fOH51
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag1jbZslLd
Who774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iQ5gYRR5e
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6V7bNQMvo
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm68ZTVtzi
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGoGl7bEbK
He774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxr2xJiRkJ
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rMVi5xOQy
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipkiFUSBSx
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh2ZlK9nir
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0umAHP9XT1
"You've someone here to see you."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZnQRqXw7o
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaX5BH5tXx
"It's Trina."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBq1k0t5C
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yNsNf3yQ
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgJCRW15TS
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAv5J8jAlr
called off.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCMJ7cqLFr
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEEtgpe9lA
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOXPST9T4a
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GYTOspQRx
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOWBEoRqxZ
Trina774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY54eKIXxyB
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOWDKk4x6B
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52va6LHJii
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubogbKRV4c
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXfUjZJSgJ
fall out sometimes but still get back together.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Nb3lBNdv
Now774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL8KoQH3hF
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30JLDgdjvF
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdtyXDGM4H
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYPcsHHGTG
weren't friends.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxWgSAN1N
While774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcXxlmlqGH
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAcBA0rcW7
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCfEamSKAO
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBoqJaNEwY
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyarLoWFf2t
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcUjjIcLuf
One774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6KUFqWvH2
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eqDvySar2
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSvlf32XND
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyPsH1bWpa
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVYSgYt5XW
one.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIcCWPFg5U
Not until he met Angel.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2HHDRZW2c
Trina774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgioiG1p37l
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsbNw1IUc6
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLevLkmJY0
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwrY40HnXE
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD2gRMyHqX
Trina774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyyGyHVHd
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3vlm94N04
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL8YC1zeGi
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc837lRgJx
beautiful.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsGosK59Li
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10YGQ6UdgC
"Then774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBXXSKozb
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9WixfFIv
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJTPilNdCt
side to try and work things out."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0CAKqcDth
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vRhWTB8xK
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmYXXFsdua
"Ya, me too."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQarggVUJ8H
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBXFx7zL1k
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlVxWingeb
"Do you know something, Eric?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n0cmrcs2Z
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRWn1vHBhf
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtvuMwLh3T
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLnR43Pb00
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ePo8Zs1M
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3bQJrtNt3
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSan8Jvcxk7
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRsJs3HlhG
eyes with a corky smile on his face.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDCHCgmD73
"Please,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFeTiOWFLR
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FhYrPcuWZ
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdegcoQKaHN
ask him?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8VlR5We7k
Trina774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGgupQxZyA
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDpkRLPAdn
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XHX0LKT5b
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R2DUgstEO
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDlkhOsXOW
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfSlC0zM2r
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6Pc86VOA
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpbr4mOBL3
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrI5AtML9R
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡset6jZwFKi
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkfZiwPlH2
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7wO2uOZck
to say next.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4hwUmd5X
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNo3gMQLRw
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJerFocoqqC
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13fCywpoBG
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfFAoBPauc
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoKXtSBsIe
"She's774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEyILlI3pq
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazlu8gq7Hg
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAmfnS1QWm
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPRJQVn5RV
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNQ8azDUzq
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonzgOTd8Xm
anymore.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSChWbj1CsL
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIiDMjh99A
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEboepW6wCt
Trina774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV0qVwB8RN
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOdebjgfnA
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIYkE8RV2p
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFRXEvsu47
massage him.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCpQIwsnIN
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJq2XPTGuD
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZAwOZZE6t
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2wIWTaEY
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQU16nxX2D
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYzQ7dJGiX
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILt2OyyRiZ
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFlpb0Er8
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Govr6SxNz
He774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPTHyronMK
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f6flmkZXz
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJD1FmUET
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9jdJUUwCE
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ0ybj2gvM
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ej48qzyrG
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuEor8lk35
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6w8zEiAfn
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLCWgI4h3v
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWoh1zLYga
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ws7TK7bJF
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOr46PQ4w9
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VeHycewkR
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYbPyHugdc
"Oh,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabZZM2xL9V
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lxcGs3Q39
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7SZpohvPW
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbQ2Jmpxn4
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eg8Dv2dkq
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97quvpWuBQ
Trina774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBbGMLNAJD
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTarLXgvcS
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYib0czmDL
Leo774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpqaV0VxMk
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj34AyfOco9
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOeMXMDfSR
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv5t1uVSn9
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPWYqy5zSD
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLycc1IjP
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn71tS20nui
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tjMJ5Sk9H
"I was just leaving," said Trina.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi7sJ8jYlf
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirgoKkM8C0
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCJb1HpI1a
With774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yss1FP9CT
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeU67De2AA
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwpE4XyQIP
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0gkm1wFgf
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKK89toeCP
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAth7BBVm2
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1MHVgaGrD
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMOzEXcJ5a
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FWJGdGeSD
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7POMhAyhLB
"Well, you would someday."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tra0rBeYi
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrHxfa8PU
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVC75JitFU
"That would be fine by me."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekz6SKEICe
"Oh,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UdeGJPG4r
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTQCbBpYIy
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXKl99rdpf
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPz5rUefig
you broke things off with her."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeh8ZN3GNf
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUhU6Iaj51
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rB8sj7aQT
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMaKksOZU1
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0G7LXFRe
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpaeeDIiq5
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI2SLLLDSP
Leo774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWcfO11GqV
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqXuGwaxqh
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvcnpvrFx9
her.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTUCgfwSvp
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMNzfeIQOZ
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BRWBTuvjX
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqblSASiXAB
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdiRmEAH6
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbVtqzFgxz
thinking about Angel just now."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gPWzLcr5v
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPxGD3zlMH
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhVFtupRzF
Leo774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n9lIjkWa6
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQjj3Q6uB
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBzOSakvia
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwIg1URisi
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTencKojYll
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LkM9MX9vU
"Because,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4OnLxZ2OJ
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQXlsX9kYe
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiqVvImd2n
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSMY9PLwEb
in a sense of emergency to release it."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcVyda7xGg
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnunq0HCXtm
"Of774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PlM38SM1F
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw4Kx4FgsS
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvdoMrRRg
darling, Angel."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY02sQ8ccSW
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6iXLoyE8
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNCOu6N4V6
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZffD8O9zR6
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDubNlqwmgV
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56rZELEHMN
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqFMkbCn3w
"Grandma774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tBWFOZ3q
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIwNxGtTXn
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Ih6bqIqi
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TBZiMP0PI
Leo774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthYyQhFPjj
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGUH2LkMmi
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN669BAdo5
word to anyone.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiq8WrzPVs
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaeVvdOzZI
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC8Pwc9Eyh
"Yep,774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYv0rADJ97
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5fNorDjQ
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYTu0VJtxK
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPAzfi6Lbb
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg0aNO5Wt4
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnorAA7ebg
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK6WBuq3x7
Eric774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDxRhkNde9
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVpeK5IJBu
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlVonFa0yB
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiQY70jcFE
Leo774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5mnyL5r55
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYWsA7NDD
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUimaRgXqSv
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNx8CY4Qmt
He774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBVweUw6JU
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr0wycbeSF
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MEHwBV4fT
desk that he had to look at today.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtmWll25EZ
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP45xdE8QxC
Leo774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr1KH45kBQ
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC9FtoJGiW
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ZC032cKo
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
