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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqC6DtLtqX
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVq7SxBys
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylqEMoYlR4
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxuDjN5IIz
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRshq5qJyQb
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkkFLEItMS
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsD3rv7mSY
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVq1SU0dWH
"Yes, Grace, how may I help you?" Leo asked as he rubbed his eyes.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemoXhwxax6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODzFOdCxMM
"Were you asleep, sir?" Grace asked as she slowly approached his desk.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBJNr4tvxu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR37csG0bzG
"No, not really." Leo looked around his desk as though he was looking for something, then he went on to look at Grace.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoZwwq8EeD
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9tmFZMuO1
"I was just asking because you weren't answering the door and your secretary assured me that you were still in your office."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XeTBw7zAs
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiTcih7lyz
"Is she still at her desk?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57rUXRI8Fw
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdIRoMdMKp
"I saw her heading out for lunch." Grace looked carefully at Leo. "You do know what time it is, right?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYudHi3N5DR
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE2huG0IKe
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T15L68VXs
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xvUfRtOkR
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXw6Rs5acl
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk7RKI92Yg
"You look tired. Are you okay?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXrMjC9bDI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ckcOzRddN
"I'm fine. Just had a few things on my mind, that's all."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx03VNUxlI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIkltQBhLG
"You should go out for fresh air. It looks like you need it."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YvEwihS2H
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DhffiKLDH
Leo wanted to smile at the kind suggestion, but the thought of Angel working with him made his mind go dark and gloomy again.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4xtNzQEVB
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPapOG3IF
He soon stood up from his seat and Grace took a step back, thinking that she might have struck a nerve.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMdXACIVeh
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c2H6kzz1m
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcqwe69QIC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvwKDrJoF
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6mnMCpjPV
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y8aMVZSL8
"Huh?" Leo raised his eyebrow. "My father isn't back yet?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVXowcGwvw
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNofGGKriX
"No." Grace shook her head. "So, I called him and he told me to give it to you to sign it."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ870syzrcMz
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gDwJtM3Wq
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRtAtkptHu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXa83WX0ac
"Thank you, sir," said Grace as she quickly walked out of the office, closing the door behind her.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BfbXU25De
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ59xBMKsL
Leo couldn't help but wonder how he's father had not yet returned to the office. It was so unlike him.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RQ8j7TpDZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJxXvgEQFc
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDK5YQKHi6
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7438ZCpanH
"You should be knocking when you're coming here, Eric," said Leo as he looked up at his cousin.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp6Ke0N2oC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGtGHhCeH
"Sorry," said Eric apologetically. "I always knock on your door, it's just today is kind of-"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D5BwIzQ8h
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfXS2bTtv
"-different?" Leo finished his sentence.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6wsIpgT6H
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMJpbAYFvX
"Yep. So are you coming with me for lunch?" Eric asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtbshf10iN
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp5DhXHVFV
"Nah, I think I'll skip lunch today."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVebmLrFzgT
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogDtvd2kjb
Eric raised an eyebrow at his cousin. "Are you sure?" he asked. "You seem to need it more than I do."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVtIni9kru
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR2SadcYtU
"Why do you say that?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP8PAaHOst
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCzMUL13eq
"Because you look famished. I just passed Grace in the hall and she said you looked sick or something."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvkw0FkJhp
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJcF6jYfTj
Leo rubbed his forehead with his free hand. "I've been thinking a lot, that's why."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLU2r5iX4m
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtfWfXAUHR
Eric's eyes lit up. "Wait..., is it because of Angel? You're still worried about her working here?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvT7oxnfCf
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDoHMabPh
Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Well, what do you expect when you came here talking about her in the first place?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvnTDatNRx
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3K1R9JqME
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH5BiFm90o
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Gb8nE8mW
"What are you saying? Of course she has."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq2dSgkOnJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fTBNFoD6
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP5Kma3IMd
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQLjp4pk8k
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DzFA0DkgS
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9oMJjuaqD
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9xaYQ9xl2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCznTPdIdJ2
"You don't even have proof of that," said Eric as he started to chuckle. "You're just being paranoid."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5twwNKTio
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEivyIl7T7Z
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9DmEptZ3b
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4S7tZKEu5
Leo started to walk out of his office with Eric right behind him. When the two stepped out, Leo locked the door.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMqiugvfVI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer28C1iewg
"Since you really need to eat something," said Eric, "you can suggest where we can go for lunch."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5beguku9S
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEE4BLGb1I
"First let me make a call to my dad. Can you imagine that he hasn't shown up to the office?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16OBOyYX2I
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGOcEEro0f
"Maybe he is still helping Carly out with her college transfer. You know how these things take time sometimes."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmF6cXpZI3
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyebV2xtxv
"Ya, but it's lunch time and he should have called me first if he was going to arrive late."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGpeZQtLzK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YzeUxWy7
"He probably just forgot. You can give him a call as we head out of here. I'm starving."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ514wOp4AaF
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRusR5c1bl
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnJvNUQqWZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYJ1meABhS
Mr. McDonell answered the call upon the first ring and Leo was relieved.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFlahVukVB
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ85oZPF1gE
"Leo, hey," came his father's voice. "Is anything wrong at the office?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDN4xLgjAF
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9NXbKMrpU
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRcdjWE7M9
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9oSpWIrQr
"Oh, I'm fine, son. There is no need to worry."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAHRChtN2e
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmsvbbVSPQ
"Where are you anyway?" Eric pressed the button to the ground floor and the doors closed. They soon felt the elevator start to move.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdr1Z5gUKU
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmUVLnS4rq
"Oh..., me?" Mr. McDonell seemed surprised by the question. "I decided to go for a walk in Central park, that's all."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH4ITaY0DE
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCk29lID0l
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBTu9YfhBI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lQziNoN27
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FtXEX3563
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELGL2EUuP
"Okay, see you later, then." Leo cut the call.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGugLZacF8
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqZXPiBgTv
The elevator came to a stop and the doors slid open. Eric turned to look at Leo.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXkuUrp3ho
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgYB6auikF
"So, where is he?" Eric asked Leo as they both walked out of the elevator.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA9a8GuzLk
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOXB4ZZFsX
"He's taking a walk in Central park," Leo asked as they passed a few people down in the lobby.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCClo96OlfH
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6scdZkz8
"Ah, you see. There was nothing to worry about."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMYS57Jg4x
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUhzgcQyJ
"Ya, there wasn't."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdSQp6ZXHd
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQUdACFdEb
The two cousins stepped out through the large glass doors of the building, passing the doorman that stood guard.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwwJm9cGfK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaugxfnDJl
"That reminds me," said Eric as they turned down the street on the sidewalk, "which restaurant are we going to?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKFRcEJZ9U
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3lgFAiyT4
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ580Ke9Lea
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZe6rH9rVR
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvAEPKUDZw
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvSh0bLTv5
"Did you just say you want to eat junk food?" Eric asked. "Minutes ago, you said you weren't hungry."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KvF6fRidy
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wnNwd6cql
"I've changed my mind. Am I on a diet so as not to eat junk?" Leo asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLmR01KS6o
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUPyqnuJgc
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPFO2l3OpI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HTOOpBPGu
"What's wrong with eating junk food, then?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6SuFOVOHA
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUQe0gxBZ
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:739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfY7G20hcc
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBzAT3KlYB
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTHOoom418
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlsI5Gu34Q
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuVmMYA6cl
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnjyj0PgVy
"Okay, if you say so. But if you gain a pound after this, don't blame me."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiDWt2ohNF
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YF8on3Pn3
Leo turned to look at Eric, walking beside him. "Admit it, you want to eat junk food way more than I do."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ge03PYXb0
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdREzALwjqT
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sCJpJksEs
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDt0wmxrfe
"Great, let's go."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IZ0SF9IzX
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBgRXZnNS7
***739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcVyJAFY8R
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5JajHNrxE
"Comfortable?" Mark asked after Angel sat on the chair he had just pulled out for her.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvpPLb27XP
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj1WHyKPES
"Yes, thank you," Angel replied as she smiled up at him.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHnHLm7XCI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWX6T6hI68
"Good." Mark gave her a smile and he went to sit on the other side of the table.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvoZzjEJ60
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfsjX6JTPM
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2gdeqFUiv
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqqTFtM4Lh
"I see you like the place," Mark said, bringing her attention back to him.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHTxQ02vhu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPd6G5uHT4
"Yes, it's really lovely," said Angel.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Fsh1u3f2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9P2xnMPvo
"We should order." Mark lifted the navy blue menu in front of him and opened it. "What would you like to have?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI0BGVPQyu
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWMFacUemz
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF3zVXMlH0
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe1BDT1CJD
"What is it?" Mark asked as he looked up from his menu and noticed Angel smiling.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyjL8PiriI
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS4OnaGrot
"Nothing," Angel replied, still smiling. "I realised I haven't had a ratatouille in like.., forever."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SCiZyNcEx
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZG8rJqsu
"Looks like you know your french cuisines." Mark smiled charmingly at her.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcedhbOmpN
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChf16wx2aa
"There was a time when I was on a date and my boyfriend made me try it out. Goodness, it was magnificent."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9t21639C1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj4cpYynW8
"You dated?" Mark looked surprised.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETj1LHtu1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqx6dupwH5
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXyyrOuBMr
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SXzipFX0n
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQv9YNmo3
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecddEKLhuo
"What is it?" Angel asked.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswXkI5Xwnj
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAwFVthhFi
"Nothing," he said as he dropped his menu. "I wonder what the guy thought of letting you go."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6CHRtvBK1
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtXrJMfgGB
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKT6fKot0D
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdiiPMkKKL
"Well, I think he's a fool letting you go."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2S4YDZcPp
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMncwW5KSK
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImjEg5D8A
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyFj3RDlRa
Mark drew out his hand and placed it above Angel's that was on the table. Angel looked at him.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX7qkEyavZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOdnZBYEV
"He was too blind to notice how beautiful you are," he said. "You look heavenly, like an angel."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ea0pOmlAi
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4gskui2OV
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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYE75yDBZo
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZRoBxrgtS
"Maybe. But I'm speaking the truth and you know it. I bet am not the first man to ever tell you that."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7LBMY3tDW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wZ7gbkvX3
Angel shook her head. "No, you aren't."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt0cRnXBID
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d7E0GOaze
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgEoiBYuVD
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3lwat4RS7
"Ready to take your order, sir?" the man asked politely with a gentle smile on his face.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1bKbz4vNJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGPXjCEbty
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbxM3vJcJC
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopK3O4sla8
"Coming right up, and would you like a drink while you wait?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W6r2c5jG9
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4SoZWgUn4
"Yes, a bottle of your finest wine."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4LvcZMQFf
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxW6BIeyW7
"Of course," said the waiter as he smiled at both Mark and Angel before leaving them.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xp8fxhe8r
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQTvL28zSZ
"We're having wine?" Angel asked with a questioning look on her face.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UEv8hhiie
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk1EamQI8c
"What is it?" Mark asked, this time his face grew a little worried. "Don't you take alcohol?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTOoECDH8x
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhivxw9V3D
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZtkmRnpe
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYwBO6Ex7R
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXyVH3OlQb
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Og3ezJ22s
"I like wine. I don't drink beer or whiskey.., those type of drinks."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6lpz2cWMK
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcl2t4E3qZ
"Even scotch?"
"Even scotch." Angel said as she smiled.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdlGiGxcL
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hj7mdrRuA
"Women like you love wine."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECqAQqx8vW
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO9LD2Ch0e
"Well, there are other women who love beers, scotch and whiskey...., champagne, maybe a little," Angel shrugged her shoulders.
"True. I'm glad I guessed that you're a wine drinker."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipg76dHKqP
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAjUFfD7Q7
"Ha. Just now you thought I didn't even take wine."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug7wDVFyw2
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q634Xt4AJ
"Because you caught me off guard with that question."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYmaDgx1VJ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNDwJ3v3hZ
Angel let out a laugh but one that didn't attract people's attention in the restaurant.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6vfw1QcJE
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOAdTCkgKS
"Ya, I'm sorry about that," said Angel after she gathered her composure. "I just wanted to see your reaction."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5NCVQiM1e

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01kWrVIv0U
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrwRPqZBDJ
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBoQH751AL

"Shall we have a toast?" Mark suggested as he held his glass.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqdMfc4rYe
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkUAOnw0kf
"A toast to what?" Angel asked, her fingers around the stem of her glass.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKC8A4l7TM
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdOAZMsmf9
"A toast for your health, that's one. And also, for you just being you."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhbFkw07jv
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fvvUB0H32
Angel smiled. "I will toast to the first one most of all, and the other reason is quite reasonable...., so cheers."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXnTS6upJG

Their glasses clinked when they touched and they both drank.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpeherZpZE

"This is really good," said Angel after she withdrew the brim of the glass from her lips.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tM6rVNrbZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xoq0utCS
"That's why I ordered the best of the best," said Mark as he put his glass on the table.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCjfH2EP3G
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFPmpNKOrT
"I might end up drinking the whole bottle. But that won't be so ladylike of me."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP9rJMOMYs

"I should be worried." Mark raised his eyebrow at her. "Do you easily get drunk, Angel Barclay?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C6rQJ90hr
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48SKxGRaFP
Angel took another sip of her wine. "If I have too much, then yes. I can get a little tipsy."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNdt87L9JZ
739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyERTKqlhi
"Then we can take it a little slow, shall we?"
"Slow is good."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmngHSFYbvC

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGQAkYB0QJ

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk6Tdx7lB2

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjk3Cb9jiD

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO3L1lgaLa

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAIrAg2Yzb

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmLPkteDI

"God, how I've missed you," he muttered to the wind.
