The tapping of his fingers onto the desk must have gone on for quiet a while. It was close to lunch time and Leo didn't seem to notice the time.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvofVlGt1K
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES39FHU9vq
A knock came at the door, and Leo didn't seem to hear it at first, til it became louder. He jerked in his seat and sat up like he had just woken up from a dream.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxJ1u9YNMz
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfmKkVEiFD
"Hello, Mr. McDonell?" came a female voice behind the door. "Are you in there?"
"Damn it," Leo muttered quietly to himself. "You can come in, Grace."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzSI9r5UXG
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtveic1lht
The door flew open and a young short lady with blonde hair, tied in a bun and glasses over her blue eyes, came into the room. She wore a white blouse with a black skirt and matching black high heeled shoes that made her look a bit taller. She had a blue file in her hand.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc05s5LNJu1
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7REGhhBv2
"Yes, Grace, how may I help you?" Leo asked as he rubbed his eyes.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJBPQwArC
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnqDN7f3FR
"Were you asleep, sir?" Grace asked as she slowly approached his desk.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdGyv0B4KP
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuDk9tyAby
"No, not really." Leo looked around his desk as though he was looking for something, then he went on to look at Grace.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfKIPfarat
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGs5U1GLrc
"I was just asking because you weren't answering the door and your secretary assured me that you were still in your office."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGmjqTZX8e
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl7in0aFT1
"Is she still at her desk?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uST2WbPzj
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFr14yAvDg
"I saw her heading out for lunch." Grace looked carefully at Leo. "You do know what time it is, right?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMSUVJFaE5
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwEArBNYui
Leo tried not to look surprised as he stared at the silver round clock seated on his desk beside his computer. He completely lost track of time that he felt like muttering to himself of how much of an idiot he was.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrUT2bigPb
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O8Z6nmgSZ
"I simply lost track of time," he humbly admitted as he looked back at Grace, trying to keep his cool. He sometimes lost his temper in front of his colleagues. But today, he felt like it wasn't necessary.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsN13YVuH0
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMo3OTX8m1
"You look tired. Are you okay?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ96znBXHkw
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmjx5gZTzN
"I'm fine. Just had a few things on my mind, that's all."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46bmYc6z4q
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMi5AK2mcu
"You should go out for fresh air. It looks like you need it."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEplLZfjrl
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NOwRmwk5p
Leo wanted to smile at the kind suggestion, but the thought of Angel working with him made his mind go dark and gloomy again.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AmHkjYBAZ
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LSk5Z8FXj
He soon stood up from his seat and Grace took a step back, thinking that she might have struck a nerve.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5KIQLS1w
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrWVEPPcMB
"I'll try," Leo said as he picked up his phone on the table. "Though going out for fresh air really isn't my cup of tea."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6WJGZjhn6
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM6qxNGN9X
Grace smiled at him as she relaxed. "You will enjoy it, sir. Before you go, your father isn't back yet and I needed him to sign this document."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GJT5banLW
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWFLYh2iGD
"Huh?" Leo raised his eyebrow. "My father isn't back yet?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn43A0QZjDi
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ogcpfXcMl
"No." Grace shook her head. "So, I called him and he told me to give it to you to sign it."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhat906lbrK
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAIKGxj8we
Leo stretched out his hand and Grace, likewise, gave him the file. He quickly opened the file and skimmed through the document. After familiarising himself with it, he put the file on the table, took the pen and signed it. He straightened up and gave the file back to Grace.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rnrzp2r1J
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJz3sI69v
"Thank you, sir," said Grace as she quickly walked out of the office, closing the door behind her.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMkHdJyFDt
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidAlZpQriz
Leo couldn't help but wonder how he's father had not yet returned to the office. It was so unlike him.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWfI8ArULv
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu18rEvcDHT
With the phone in his other hand, Leo decided to call him. But before he could do so, the door flew open and Eric came into his office.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOOEJXCAbZ
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj6UKjLR2D
"You should be knocking when you're coming here, Eric," said Leo as he looked up at his cousin.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jIY1buzhH
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePa9cAIElh
"Sorry," said Eric apologetically. "I always knock on your door, it's just today is kind of-"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CG3WpY8SI
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7M4c84ow
"-different?" Leo finished his sentence.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CN9X4j091
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt2CQJ61PX
"Yep. So are you coming with me for lunch?" Eric asked.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSVPeXhXIe
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0EK2G535
"Nah, I think I'll skip lunch today."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXP5c2UK8A
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDMSvACRUl
Eric raised an eyebrow at his cousin. "Are you sure?" he asked. "You seem to need it more than I do."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDFuWY9GcP
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn5BmG0X1Z
"Why do you say that?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXk0IjKh8g
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsspxiF7Lt1
"Because you look famished. I just passed Grace in the hall and she said you looked sick or something."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6La7fxnaJ
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKpUuA9y43
Leo rubbed his forehead with his free hand. "I've been thinking a lot, that's why."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp82TeuPci
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrMhK9PzIk
Eric's eyes lit up. "Wait..., is it because of Angel? You're still worried about her working here?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHkz6AeLTb
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2EGrQZGVL
Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Well, what do you expect when you came here talking about her in the first place?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosofehaTxn
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumh8ratVZB
Eric shook his head as he pinched his eyes with his index finger and thumb. "This is why I said you should go to a therapist. You can't hate someone who hasn't offended you."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDASLzRkQr2
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJUNi3fVtf
"What are you saying? Of course she has."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVbeBmzhGg
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdAcZJrKEt
Eric folded his arms. "Okay, apart from the time when she attacked you at the club because you were making love to her sister, mention any other time when she did you wrong."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vx6yerpkQ
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyNgoERDWR
Leo looked at Eric with a murderous look. He didn't have to think of anything because he knew he had none. Eric always had a way of getting to him when he wanted to.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffSOzC5UNA
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTovjZBqyN
Leo ended up shaking his head admitting defeat and said, "fine. You win this time. But that doesn't mean she plots behind my back."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcdfGOR1Pz
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHChb3TKeCc
"You don't even have proof of that," said Eric as he started to chuckle. "You're just being paranoid."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr3fLVT5Lc
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEukxvAIboy
Leo shook his head as he walked round his table. "I'm so done with you. Let's go. Arguing with you makes me hungry."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAuGdCGFVX
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZscfUIiwz
Leo started to walk out of his office with Eric right behind him. When the two stepped out, Leo locked the door.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUmLcLruq9
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOowT44r5lf
"Since you really need to eat something," said Eric, "you can suggest where we can go for lunch."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelPfVsk4df
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb8CxTZmC4
"First let me make a call to my dad. Can you imagine that he hasn't shown up to the office?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywLmRTxMwr
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngEl5FG6jZ
"Maybe he is still helping Carly out with her college transfer. You know how these things take time sometimes."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WZVw76Ne8
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCpL6vDKB1
"Ya, but it's lunch time and he should have called me first if he was going to arrive late."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NmIFk0fPP
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGtbjeGF7Q
"He probably just forgot. You can give him a call as we head out of here. I'm starving."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F7CS4FNmV
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08rtnj3EL
Leo would've said something over Eric's appetite, but he was too worried about his father to even care. The two made their way towards the elevator while Leo dialed his father's number on his phone and called. He put the phone to his ear as Eric reached the elevator first and pressed the button to summon it.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC4sDLMNbL
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWTbAH0Gb
Mr. McDonell answered the call upon the first ring and Leo was relieved.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmME3xnGBlq
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlMd3YxC4W
"Leo, hey," came his father's voice. "Is anything wrong at the office?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwLlRHqpdE
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWwm0odZhi
"No, nothing's wrong," Leo replied. The elevator doors in front of him flew open and Eric stepped in first with Leo following slowly behind him. "Grace told me that you weren't around and I thought of checking up on you."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIi7IYOkpG
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM7aP44Y9o
"Oh, I'm fine, son. There is no need to worry."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6QFpTfhn5
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWA6Ixi8Br
"Where are you anyway?" Eric pressed the button to the ground floor and the doors closed. They soon felt the elevator start to move.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6rnc8nqp7
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsQPsbW4JR
"Oh..., me?" Mr. McDonell seemed surprised by the question. "I decided to go for a walk in Central park, that's all."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs3jI4LOPT
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmURk0g1tVv
"I was worried when Grace told me you hadn't shown up to the office." Leo looked over at Eric who was staring at his own two feet.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d1B1Vx3kX
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9i8O8PwsW
"You don't need to worry, son, I'm fine. Walking is good for me and I really need it today. I'll be back in the office as soon as lunch hour is over."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaiJi2Gy38
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHLWNVyxap
"Okay, see you later, then." Leo cut the call.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WisI9MWwA
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaZDtHVpBH
The elevator came to a stop and the doors slid open. Eric turned to look at Leo.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXxz7i8pF5
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmGDrnzqi
"So, where is he?" Eric asked Leo as they both walked out of the elevator.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiWPRTnR1f
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4AShM7ZHM
"He's taking a walk in Central park," Leo asked as they passed a few people down in the lobby.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5461vAW7s
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYhr02okG5
"Ah, you see. There was nothing to worry about."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ537T3ZLZzq
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjQaUMA9qT
"Ya, there wasn't."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9viIz8VYq
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6PzfWAltu
The two cousins stepped out through the large glass doors of the building, passing the doorman that stood guard.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII2JP8NIzY
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJM4S0P5K3
"That reminds me," said Eric as they turned down the street on the sidewalk, "which restaurant are we going to?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8sBMaOH2K
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1QbCmtYeb
"Can't we have junk food for a change?" Leo asked as he put his phone in the pocket and left his hand in it.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ9oWhjspv
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87PzrjECAE
Eric looked at his cousin as they walked, careful enough not to bump into anyone coming in from the opposite direction and those in front of him who walked too slow. He looked surprised.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw815AXfdy
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyifUrsnXts
"Did you just say you want to eat junk food?" Eric asked. "Minutes ago, you said you weren't hungry."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGuq3WoxpX
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ12tW6pdA
"I've changed my mind. Am I on a diet so as not to eat junk?" Leo asked.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi19FJbElG
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kTpPH7X6M
"Not that I know of." They were soon near the traffic lights with many other civilians at the zebra crossing, waiting for the walk traffic light to turn on.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO0UeqB7Nf
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4noXOiUbo4
"What's wrong with eating junk food, then?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtVVrszCyy
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQxA9w7YUo
Eric thought about it for a second but he had to cross the road with Leo and the other pedestrians as soon as the traffic lights turned red for the cars to stop and the green walk sign turned on for the pedestrians. As soon as they reached the other side of the crossing and the cars that stopped were finally on the move behind them, Eric gave his reply:955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbJbXjseN5
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lYQS1h8oi
"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just worried that you might grow fat. Besides, the only reason why I'm concerned is because you like going to fancy restaurants and eating salads all the time."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtxHajRHcr
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCWh9ExuXu
"I know," said Leo as they passed by a coffee shop and the strong smell of coffee flew onto the street when a lady, opened the door to enter the cafe. "I don't know how to explain it, but I'm really in a mood for it right now."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyXjwWqvJC
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5iDLU3uwe
"Okay, if you say so. But if you gain a pound after this, don't blame me."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSDsBnOGJt
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKW8zQP0pk
Leo turned to look at Eric, walking beside him. "Admit it, you want to eat junk food way more than I do."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy8ODiVd1c
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gAxvLGjbf
"Mind you, I love junk. I'm just surprised you want to join in on the fun. And I know exactly where to go. There's this amazing place where they sell the best burgers."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeMAfYiDQU
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoHl7i5qk5
"Great, let's go."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtY1Zuscyw
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywXLI4pNxC
***955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10IKJGQvpK
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ejjqGGj3
"Comfortable?" Mark asked after Angel sat on the chair he had just pulled out for her.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo8ueOlPMq
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQNFD5yxHl
"Yes, thank you," Angel replied as she smiled up at him.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyjcsKzqvP
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqRV7izM4V
"Good." Mark gave her a smile and he went to sit on the other side of the table.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCblA5b2DnM
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnrQ8s3zU1
Angel went on ahead to look at her surrounding a little more. They were at an outdoor restaurant. As much as it was outdoors, the place was luxurious with the open roof above them filled with green creepers and tiny bulbs above them to make the scene around them look beautiful and a little intimate. The wooden tables were covered with white table cloths and above them were little bulbs in shape of candles with little green creepers and white flowers. Angel liked the way the restaurant made her feel. She felt like she was in a fairytale.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8MptSOXe5
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvoVyzQW85
"I see you like the place," Mark said, bringing her attention back to him.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp56hNKUpNo
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdPOFcHeFd
"Yes, it's really lovely," said Angel.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnDE8M9ewn
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHwHlZJByA
"We should order." Mark lifted the navy blue menu in front of him and opened it. "What would you like to have?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtA9IGcz9F
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYU4nQYsG7
Angel also took hold of the menu and looked at it. It had been a long time since she had visited a fancy restaurant that she forgot about some delicate cuisines that most exquisite restaurants liked to serve. She smiled to herself when she noticed one of the meals she enjoyed on the menu.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMIcAYAur5
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBRZfDzquP
"What is it?" Mark asked as he looked up from his menu and noticed Angel smiling.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7B5z6kVf4
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkriMCkDjh8
"Nothing," Angel replied, still smiling. "I realised I haven't had a ratatouille in like.., forever."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOb48WV8Go
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBLw0FoBvr
"Looks like you know your french cuisines." Mark smiled charmingly at her.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AX16SJaEY
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW58TZFH93T
"There was a time when I was on a date and my boyfriend made me try it out. Goodness, it was magnificent."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs69WcAMnR
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrbanI7bce
"You dated?" Mark looked surprised.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmVVFXXl8w
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfd2k0PswY
"Ya, but he wasn't the best of boyfriends," said Angel as she went back to looking at the menu. "The ratatouille can be a good starter. Just saying."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL2UiAjQVu
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gHPLNCGQt
Mark continued to look at Angel and she didn't seem to notice. It was only moments later when she looked at him and caught him staring.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou529TuIUI
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85FYKGyLUw
"What is it?" Angel asked.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxqukba3vT
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFhprC7XGh
"Nothing," he said as he dropped his menu. "I wonder what the guy thought of letting you go."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVH3EY7aZB
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb837RIgRCi
Angel raised an eyebrow at him as she put the menu back down on the table. "That was three years ago. I caught him cheating on me and so..., just like everything that stays in the past..., it's history."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNdYFvWmKq
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJVx31DFEe
"Well, I think he's a fool letting you go."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMdxRbVQf
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBul7SprlP
Angel looked up at the green creepers over her and the tiny bright lights. "He made a choice," she said. "Can't blame him. The girl he cheated on me with was very beautiful. I guess that's why."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0NZ2O3qUh
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth97X8KKeh
Mark drew out his hand and placed it above Angel's that was on the table. Angel looked at him.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyx8SDYwiS
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOkVEoYEBg
"He was too blind to notice how beautiful you are," he said. "You look heavenly, like an angel."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihfhGTLLQL
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbO8TeZ4Nf
Angel smiled. "Stop it," she said, her cheeks starting to heat up. "I know you're only saying that to try and make me feel better."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ301Vtg2Cif
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4isfzdboe
"Maybe. But I'm speaking the truth and you know it. I bet am not the first man to ever tell you that."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULHn18uBMl
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUSQyvMSzd
Angel shook her head. "No, you aren't."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQipTGZoq
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI46dEexT0
Mark withdrew his hand. "Let's not talk about him." He lifted his hand to catch the attention of a waiter nearby. A lean blonde young man came to the table all dressed in a black shirt, a black pair of trousers, with matching black shoes and a black half apron round his waist.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYfhMRuqtW
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8SQpwDCvj
"Ready to take your order, sir?" the man asked politely with a gentle smile on his face.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunpiL9609t
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbQs6HnyG
"Yes, please," said Mark as he looked up at the waiter and then he went on to look at Angel. "For a starter, we would like the ratatouille, please."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti5JIC2qAA
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHNqxGU0CA
"Coming right up, and would you like a drink while you wait?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9FMmZtbLF
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXOr0t3qCx
"Yes, a bottle of your finest wine."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACxlqjTv17
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ31uROulrQ
"Of course," said the waiter as he smiled at both Mark and Angel before leaving them.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfPNfQzy12
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xDGFQOYy5
"We're having wine?" Angel asked with a questioning look on her face.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSNNYV3Wx
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw9Pz43z9W
"What is it?" Mark asked, this time his face grew a little worried. "Don't you take alcohol?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkziRcDKu6y
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkcl88GHEh
"Well...," Angel playfully rolled her eyes up. "I can't say I take alcohol when I drink wine on special occasions." Her eyes flew back to Mark's face.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZroS3vwHh
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAs0U233fM
"Oh," Mark let out a little laugh as he leaned back on his chair. "For a minute there, I thought you didn't take alcohol at all."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpv5PJVH8
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxUwS8OD9p
"I like wine. I don't drink beer or whiskey.., those type of drinks."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNia7Oq3N7
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1181xQlCN
"Even scotch?"
"Even scotch." Angel said as she smiled.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zkXGWU2It
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPXmQ6QmIU
"Women like you love wine."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbSXfOV6K6
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVToUlgGG1
"Well, there are other women who love beers, scotch and whiskey...., champagne, maybe a little," Angel shrugged her shoulders.

Angel let out a laugh but one that didn't attract people's attention in the restaurant.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJVL7IXaz

"Ya, I'm sorry about that," said Angel after she gathered her composure. "I just wanted to see your reaction."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDN3LOX84n

Mark had an amused look on his face and he didn't notice how charmingly he smiled at Angel until the waiter came back pushing a serving tray. On it was a black champagne bucket with a bottle of wine in it with ice all around. Alongside the bucket were two wine glasses.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTW0VKZXWP
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogqeCiq0zK
The waiter placed the two glasses in front of Mark and Angel, opened the bottle of wine and poured into the glasses. Afterwards, he placed the bottle back in the bucket, kindly excused himself and walked away.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82MKDLZ3sD

"Shall we have a toast?" Mark suggested as he held his glass.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4mhc7co8r
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ35OG5onX4
"A toast to what?" Angel asked, her fingers around the stem of her glass.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oqvwr6DOc
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrPAdzIxtD
"A toast for your health, that's one. And also, for you just being you."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uC4A9nyu4
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBN4RlHBk
Angel smiled. "I will toast to the first one most of all, and the other reason is quite reasonable...., so cheers."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30kfXRhgq

"This is really good," said Angel after she withdrew the brim of the glass from her lips.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsztqCuzVrk

"That's why I ordered the best of the best," said Mark as he put his glass on the table.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BgbK2iK9X
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo8E0mOJOY
"I might end up drinking the whole bottle. But that won't be so ladylike of me."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7yC8Dxdk
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42k0dAETPT
"I should be worried." Mark raised his eyebrow at her. "Do you easily get drunk, Angel Barclay?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKHPRXZuSl
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTyesGrtXw
Angel took another sip of her wine. "If I have too much, then yes. I can get a little tipsy."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqCacFgPeI
955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5hD7UAzrK
"Then we can take it a little slow, shall we?"
"Slow is good."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYaK75cSNq

It didn't take long for their to starter arrive. And as they had their meal, they continued to chat unaware of how much they enjoyed each other's company. But they had more matters to discuss, and they both knew it.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV60iFR4pI

The white tulips in his hands smelled fresh and divine as he walked, his eyes focused ahead. The place around him was quiet except for a few words he heard aloud at a distance. As he walked, he turned to the voice and saw a group of people, almost all of them dressed in black, gathered together surrounding a white casket. The person speaking before them was a priest, all dressed in white and purple robes with the Holy Bible in his hands. Those closer to the casket, crying silently and holding tissues to their noses were obviously the family to the deceased.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJocZvC02z

Death was a sad thing, especially if it happens to take a loved one away from you. But such was life. Death itself was inevitable and it was up to those alive and in the present to move on. Though it's hard for many others to do so.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlliKfXQKh

As he continued to walk away from the funeral procession and through the neatly arranged tombstones in the graveyard, he approached her grave. There stood a white marble tombstone that he had set up just a day after her burial. He was glad that his wife hadn't visited the graveyard with him. She would have been pissed to see such a magnificent tombstone and would have blamed him for wasting so much money on a dead person.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOb0U6ugoY

As he got closer, he stood there for a minute as he read her name in big black capital letters. He bended over to put the white tulips on the ground, next to the tombstone. After straightening up, he took a few steps back.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg9CUJSqqX

He sighed as he smiled at the white tulips. If she were here, she would have smiled back at him, taken a sniff out of them and said thank you.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUPsLH6wSd
