Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuagIiWcwh

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgNeBKw87T
She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicqHK2t3ng

Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyB7I4IXAb

Carly nodded her head, got hold of the straps of her backpack on her laps, and opened the door. She stepped out, swung the bag round her shoulder and closed the door behind her.

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlar0jdz3Cd

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQzxxnnPC

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben. They actually attended the same university and apparently found themselves working for the same editing company.

Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother. His shiny brown hair was also smartly combed, so it was difficult not to call him so.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4nfDqJHFN

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iZB0AuKZ8

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOt3bSXSTh

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkjhfwzME0

"Of course, Mr. Dean," Valerie stood up from her seat and made her way towards the door, passing Angel. Angel thought she had seen Valerie smile. She wondered what that's about.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fp04pu8Zj

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR4MsNSxH2
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHpuAaqtI7

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the  complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh1jLFznpJ

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkn0arJ1i1

Angel went on to stare out the window, looking at the buildings along the road. She was deep in thought, thinking of her friends and the editing firm.

Before Leo could say something back, his phone in the pocket of his trousers started to ring. He wondered who could be calling him as he retrieved his phone. He looked at the screen. It's Eric.

Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfWzVIRT4

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDysrEnI0h

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2YQNM287J
Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6svvslPn1A

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb062n80MN
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AjDCJ27SP
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFy0mEw4nL

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSDtib24D9
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8nTUf5ff4
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Xkom6tHV

The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBNIZVEX9m

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp1EBquwKf
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6puum21gHH
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzqWZJjrzE

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQxXSvETDf
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzBLI4p7xS

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFcqGxgu2c
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZFMLaBz5j
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXHioeiV84
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUmLJdtsc4
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxP57IRXYl
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3AbchJ9iy
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVyuEcmPzT
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlcYjAq0ir
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxBkCTfpqT
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHPAc6jeg
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNdEmlr2Tw

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoFlLjyZEI
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVBzClGF8J
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAps3HzoSy6
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJhg2hnh2H
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5tDcMFP4o
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw6QrgC5uN
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRCsnl80M2
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QmVfJkrmd
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j3rdwG85e
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNbuvOQD2R
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrshUxKvC64

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc9slmSwc7
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6ElCKnDY

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2l6GnxXl5
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWT0s11QD
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0n8O2r3ss
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbiKUUW9jL
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPINQT2czF8
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN2jI23bEU
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UyJKXf10t
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX0qLROekj

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfT84QMbP0
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d3hAUmv0k
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFsYWSwYWS
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vI7R5KLgQ
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hmPMgMo8V
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkSauXkLoN
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZv8gUFCW5
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnauCFXnf83

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFXsnyjUwD
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAZ6ajmayo
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq2rtLV8kV
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva6RTKCzHY
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyMTTluMR6

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDpPBu9mFm
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFSCSKaYzx
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSsoCabEzC
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYNPSwZifH
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyF2ssgtQ5
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRt1jwyCV
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMJk6RwV6
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ3CSrL2nQ

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitrk2SXNCV
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDlgdPg0TQ
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoU70jnC5b
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4vFWuWHq
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZHvqowJH
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw3HVGedrv
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvKS8C1frt
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIG5SeOIJz
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGKkuNnKEo

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1zjPLizaa
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CFFDDZ21G

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x0OrQflUH
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNJcgOaIE
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgZlZmHjKD
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH40AR0mUc
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZbTYOhjKs
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4dQ9KdKX3

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAryxYHi0r

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdvmODOxj2
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkGjaOEAwC

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON4JwpRsUs
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPMrxQZ2x

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuXuDxQWaY
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK0a3AMcXI
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkERoGoWV
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwL8Q7AnIe
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0F8EX7waF

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHfqXNKrdE

Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFwR1g6Clm
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTGOVADz7k
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORC0k16e2s

875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sftBEd6pF
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrQhZOjTVr

Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75gsmVrIef
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtgAjg8D9Z
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8faPlzl445
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GnxVFFC4C
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ztv8wlAs
875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lM57tiex1
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.875Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCGhXIVHNh
