Angel was in the living 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKsBpcGjPz
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTtepA9J4y
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSbdoWKOD9
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx4Q2slfRy
"How was what?" Angel asked.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9nwSrfpYs
"Getting to know Leo?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx9vIFdiDC
Angel could have sworn 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe6hv8uq8A
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRv9ctCq6h
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHmPhJzIjt
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUanjApaA7
"Really?" Amanda looked a1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukSPj7B7BY
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemrRXfe1pS
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgYNIhpmDv
have offended you?" 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglYDpAsqb1
"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."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKMUFPN3hg
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpql2FdME3
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DmWFPGNT0
"Awww, you're so 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM1XUGFVje
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Zor4T6LI
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf0N6fiWHB
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2r3DMMOtU
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACb4XTaYX9
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrTQIJUXLu
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81E7yKplfE
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ul4qijiSY
Amanda gave Angel the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO6ALdAkxR
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvbSRfpxoX
to deal with writing. It suits you."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmjgpyK1u8
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQH3vZm58R
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4aZA0cOoi
"What is it?" Angel asked.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj7iL8m4Uc
"You seem to be one 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyik0bfAiFh
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78eCZ2x0F
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKvVQXdv9t
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzVbVZLIX4
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQcAiBJFa
"What?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTW0glpJbd
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPzYEj2NKP
Leo who had just come in1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8QMZnNTkO
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv05Ynu3h8
just at the entrance of the living room.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGAW6O3X6Q
"What did you just say 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4LALQo4lK
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU1dN25c7B
the two women on the wheelchairs.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSU1c5to6h
Amanda turned her 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4TDiazpzC
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrj6BDyyyV
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fdU5p8aMN
themselves."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBmMPyzL6N
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboNIXgi7qN
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI12DRawZSQ
Leo couldn't believe 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3NFblpwwD
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXBL06OMrO
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg2GWCrShE
"Haven't you thought 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61OaExn2TM
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGRtO3igqU
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68POW2R72o
job of her own?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYCK0mCRx0
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KXR7FkxnY
"You deserve better, my 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDBJsqQ4bc
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUfw3QMbkV
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq96UYi1a3
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcLOUNMLsG
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NdcPZEMI9
"What makes you so sure?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGPGvEGQc3
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRGARkJ45
"Mum won't though."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsLllvlIHk
"Does she run the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyAYJ7QOF4
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC4HU8N9Dr
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBURRHHDTke
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErNXSqalqt
Leo knew his grandmother1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeo6EaUceS
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP6CrKpGPU
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXkbmr7dK7
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb6hdgAk59
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FdSOyY4DV
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Dj5zJ1GM
"Don't say any of this 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRztCHFp6ya
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHuu8rpD73
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwifUimPhw6
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYiTOWxuw1
have to convince her a little more than I have to."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG6zq46q3P
Angel gulped. It felt 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxo1FLVUbG
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Zof1unbZ
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3glOfCDIJ
Leo made his way out of 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnudHv8Pvu
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl4dGzcjvD
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz0Q79n1vs
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYAHlEZMPZ
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGehuw4xod
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy4C6rpMMH
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlOd9jo62O
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaitfQDI2t
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.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nOPJUQHz9
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3lijU9s5G
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gI3Bq2b6R
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvxF1gZvJ
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKldbgqM1AH
"I'm talking about Kim."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkhrrmlaxT
Angel didn't know if it 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguzfVHfqfU
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70wrIgCqr
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeunVBzNkQ8
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW7YA6GnJW
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10dbHEwxRr
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJoKQncV4I
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKttGq2o9fF
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOorsdwYv
certain things?1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iP09pbNZ3
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PeMiT5QVL
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVVbZgN51v
Angel felt like covering1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2D5tIV4xs
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG76czT4i9
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugbzAjUwxW
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ63Yy41f6
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkoH4cbaQ4
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9YzSJKfhy
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVAuWnUclj
Angel felt her heart 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIdg6TBrcI
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGmWv7nUxR
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuGBOmvmxK
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhPYjsWLt5
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG1Bb2GJd2
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHEceAcYqT
and invited her to the wedding.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXlh6xawzl
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ws5gD2lI
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvOk8ut09T
Angel looked at Amanda 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwW9tMZsJI
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovL6gNflX
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGcynCDw3n
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUD33YDKe3
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl97G1B5pI
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fm6FJVla
saw Leo.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqRdPx2BV3
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFsOdOJhwl
"Nothing, dear," said 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9ImRV6JxH
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgJ9HoGtAx
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Vzmpvy8N
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5PmkZCl2S
"Have a nice day."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73kDIKaci
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtrjBifwXC
Leo nodded his head in 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vU6CUJCe
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqE11Ka9m4
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty7wzFh45K
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaOCVE6Ujj
through the front door.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26IbgXpReF
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lhdctyj34
"You're unbelievable," 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzgcHfklSt
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTvb5hdDzk
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxv9p5If7c
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAoskVQDva
"I'm sorry for that, 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjIXzRw7hk
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwL9nT0U8O
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsQRMdaFkr
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGAJD5VlZF
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY9MeZbcIu
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKR1ruV9F0
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAHgHJZ5h6
Angel slowly followed 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiknM1yS3l
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dQ49vudkV
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FtfwhI18f
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJF30GLJGs
must have felt awful.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAR77FO85i
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A5C4LQ7C5
***1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfO0DVoi94
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g5TOEVb0C
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSXfalq8Tl
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F3ogK7030
He1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EtNj4F3qs
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcyrtrJ0lm
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3cJAxVYwA
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTdCvC2Foe
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94TaIsdlHp
Since1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtICdDNzrd
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqzZxyfEcW
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww0NpbuZew
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoxlmomfPD
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtcJnwYVk0
Who1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32KB2bG821
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV548PiJBpO
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9UQmCcx7
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagoYVoTto5
He1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ASHzWaJ1
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93NzqPBkbQ
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRRVSumEF2
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTKuztFyi8
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqtCwG4sL
"You've someone here to see you."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbfFCTj7KT
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItSNO8dE13
"It's Trina."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRgjKm1XLt
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6DLkE7ae7
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t4fV6zgLd
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Sz4nioTo
called off.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSOyo3QM8g
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsPIwsiuYk
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91YQ1b0Ap9
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyqrCFbAf7
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXjMuA7eCo
Trina1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKpSvJ0h2v
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrYbU0npdW
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0YdjvSgQc
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCngnRClL
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fqjztNvem
fall out sometimes but still get back together.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0PzHm2SnH
Now1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5WS2GaUC0
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMOg5Nvf5
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Vsdumjif
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeqOhglhXN
weren't friends.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQipiSOwGJ
While1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROBsXutM3R
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe4qKHLxNK
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8UaNwFRpT
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseZo8dxNTQ
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEVRyhG9N3
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WgXrprwot
One1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDtas7jv8B
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVHBx8mEUI
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZLLfSYllV
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmhRLs5N1
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XWTn2HzK
one.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaSj44PMyP
Not until he met Angel.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9LwgnRh22
Trina1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39oHinHS7P
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKc11UHei
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVdHWnCT2p
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7ZnqvTEsh
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVt93lNwnt
Trina1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxRjSDPJ1M
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpYHuCDKdf
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbwqPgVDy
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIrIn0hlCN
beautiful.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mkKWq11az
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgp8q0UXr
"Then1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4EGTcDO3O
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYmRoMNhZ6
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BCijLEpAM
side to try and work things out."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ImQMCAlE
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnMaRZaBCM
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbryqxSmElb
"Ya, me too."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rb0kWNTY7
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsNMKCeUA8
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUagFnK8PWy
"Do you know something, Eric?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN5kd7NU32
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBKbcRQY7
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ZTZoIXQX
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp9MjcSGhR
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBfImJ4cJo
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcJ0qNLhgU
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAkvrhL31u
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3olCm1MNYt
eyes with a corky smile on his face.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIucb27Vln
"Please,1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfYE3rZoj
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGZ5nZLhg7
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxaGxdbLbE
ask him?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm9N6PzneA
Trina1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3lXHLpZoE
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf11b7Asbl
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ3KpUwogQ
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h81xmAnM5
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfF7SWTRnZ
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1sWopjaYp
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmD4LJWRg
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa13OiQnGW
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxj2v4k51M
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSlxD0TLVC
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5Q50KXCQ
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9vezOxEYQ
to say next.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmhBExZti5
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25Z9HDqCL
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRBRHcxDAt
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z8yXazQzB
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG06pCvXIj7
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Gd3I1upt
"She's1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUgghE8A2a
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcNWc2Yqc7
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Ig9UMpg3
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qaHQGiDJ
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlCB2UBXYe
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarRKjeKvEa
anymore.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQHyPTBUCm
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquvQUQ8Or
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb52lNorj8
Trina1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFRu1Wej8H
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTFpXihhOB
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpydPLitN5k
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwZrcWT2az
massage him.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUyfJRLWQs
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpUtKDQlVl
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl8sfR3tb2
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XJLJBGK7U
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTPzJrtyKm
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wsN0mdh18
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyoryR2Gkx
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoCApRIRXH
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QkxSYD2El
He1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCS5rYLgk1
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22EnLmVxg
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx5P4iZuRZ
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOZCPBZY1Q
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgYey1lRHm
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKT6eFF1yP
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCFECNO9rF
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66sX4LUtGB
"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."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtLusIQ5PS
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBASSUEvGsN
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumroleo9tV
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCSEPBvfXA
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0UnKf6kWf
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPRElYXgu5
"Oh,1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fLJBqVJXq
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrI48JJ0Bw
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpAmyLfbGK
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1QgKQZ6Y
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkCALsMQcj
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlVfGr116z
Trina1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwtVZADuRp
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt55EcFlLH
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuusTZYG9s
Leo1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4n9UbfGBE
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK73bu6RHPh
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjitV44x6h
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDWtM1RuP4
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxYGK7FNs8
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZtIM1Q3FI
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4j8qSWGPu
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnuNrKHOVd
"I was just leaving," said Trina.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQrvTLXBlg
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgKKUrx7os
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmq6KWQy9
With1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGOwWsBokb
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESlpDuhqWU
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFpg4cp7XE
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXKrtsMjSc
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mPz7qIr4t
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRexls5la7r
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj7kwLY2XY
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WoqGo5vcv
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H6bp7Fn4s
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUAxGvD03N
"Well, you would someday."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI3llycbTD
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW0BhqzpGb
"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?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJt0xQ1FDR
"That would be fine by me."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZqKXhrduC
"Oh,1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd6KOzkb1x
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAZ17JFIzf
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hU6TbfLV
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAvW9Imdhb
you broke things off with her."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPtH1qHaGY
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsLjxni2B
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhD3EHAk10
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTIjUvvreP
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0VQGA4TYY
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRyAZYGVlH
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCIDsuX2hV
Leo1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEmqz7GP8G
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2uIhDDsh8
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQwKfrs3cI
her.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8LwSP0fDu
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHK7sTtpGh
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwSBVkxiPQ
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU2sVjsddN
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4GQUvy5ex
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWM7xuonPu
thinking about Angel just now."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIW8j87uTM
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB2ZSSGH1n
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU2m5ceweX
Leo1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1jxl60Naw
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKh9DsfeQ1
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX9vCbwDJV
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnukZ5j2TWy
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXi4sbcsmu
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNaTV1jgaT
"Because,1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJ7GzXFAj
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVNmloDyoh
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9tCPxaka
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqjHMpOzr
in a sense of emergency to release it."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlatniMKMCV
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaaQWmvidD
"Of1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVQtdJBviy
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE72zpe4ZWD
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88aWSqzXS9
darling, Angel."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOpDlzKnIx
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIdCegQYNV
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcGzJLmdxP
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0CrpYUxw
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLQPbBXGDw
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3E6Le9arU
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."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsv9AfZ1jA
"Grandma1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ySHjRzYh
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJFegGodAb
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGs4OBrkKV
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJOpUv4xzF
Leo1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrbrrlDTQ4
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh5n26k1GL
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVeFFHPvtS
word to anyone.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqAw0spafX
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9OMYR7uz7
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwTS0qs5v2
"Yep,1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh0UTcyTFr
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu9jUHLLer
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTuO5pijN8
"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.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8mfR6MvCz
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIilalQ4iZR
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr2gU8v3ot
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1VxXzTRIs
Eric1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9s2fZHs40
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5xwpsqChg
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzJqlxtFm9
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5wKjUiRbd
Leo1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpejlp57eOj
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw47zIfE1Nc
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NilE16WnS
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SIBQZyT9B
He1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk4S1GIpOX
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkia9FcIkp
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfRjbscqF9
desk that he had to look at today.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmlIfjIkrF
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPyDp5lbwk
Leo1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtFLqX4SkR
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmquk9hY9De
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.1278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrM4Z1FUWi
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
