After finishing their dessert, there was joyful laughter and conversation all around the table. Everyone was actively participating except for one person in particular, whose mind seemed elsewhere. Angel did all she could to keep track of what was being said, but failed to do so. A funny feeling came over her now and then that something bad was going to happen if Leo were to see Kim and Trina.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhJuD0iXM4

She smiled kindly at Mr. Cho, who addressed her, and never said as much as a simple “yes.” Now and then, she would try to look over her shoulder at Kim and Trina. However, every time she did, Eric would find her looking and would throw her a smile, thinking that she was looking at him. Pretending like nothing was going on, Angel would smile back and try her best to engage herself in the conversation.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvIHdFAeaU

It was now time to leave, as the dinner event had finally ended. Angel felt relieved. Maybe if they left early, Leo wouldn’t have to see Kim or Trina. Mr. Cho and Mr. McDonell stood up to mark the end of their dinner date as they shook hands. Angel slowly stood up from the table before anyone else, and it was then that she saw Kim and Trina through the corner of her eye. Rising from their table, the two women made their way to the ladies' room.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZqBm5feDk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMBZXWokVW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgqWHDdxLQ
Trina and Kim entered the ladies’ room. They had noticed earlier that the McDonells had finished their dinner with the visitors, and Kim had told Trina that it was best to leave in case Leo looked across the room and noticed them.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81OxcMmrOY

“I doubt it.” Kim shook her head. “If she has known Leo in the short time they’ve been staying together, she wouldn’t tell him. Leo can be a time bomb.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOchhpjIQYs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesrGLUlWhZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKVhLL1ZU

Meanwhile, at the table where the McDonells had had their dinner with the visitors, everyone had now stood. Angel wanted to go to the ladies’ room when Carly stopped her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylCrUJQDiq

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ9YJm6NeY
Oh, no, Angel thought to herself. If Carly goes with her, she will find Trina and Kim in there, and no doubt she will tell Leo about them.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3whk6QL6W

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4cei51qy3
“Good idea, Angel,” said Eric. “Leo and I were thinking of staying here for a while and exploring." Eric threw Leo a look, and Leo brought up a small smile. Carly smiled inward, knowing what Leo meant in the message he sent her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvJJjOF6Wk

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nX0eLZXUt

Carly decided to go to the ladies’ room. Amanda and Diana said they would also come with her. Angel turned to look at the corner of the restaurant that led to the ladies’ room. Had Trina and Kim walked out without her noticing, or were they still in there? Should she follow Carly just in case? Angel didn’t know what to do.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwYouRFpfy

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5FQR1PsXB
Mr. Cho and his colleagues, together with Mr. McDonell, led the way out of the restaurant. Leo walked alongside his mother behind them, with Angel and Eric following behind them. Angel couldn’t help but watch the other three women on the other side of the room turn around the corner to the ladies’ room.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ePnmtjVB

A few seconds before everyone had started to leave the table, Trina had walked out of the ladies’ room first, with Kim still in the stall. She peeped around the corner before fully stepping out, and that was when she saw Carly, Diana, and Amanda heading in her direction. She quickly ran back in, and she knocked at the door of the stall Kim was occupying.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEhBGl8ygK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y6KP699mE

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvPTGvIrSd
“You have to stay in there for a while,” said Trina as she made her way into the empty stall next to the one Kim was in and closed the door. “We’ve company. Amanda, Diana, and Angel’s sister are coming here.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEnAbWI8ue

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywJh1vFzFu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DD2CR3bj6
Kim knew this was bad. With the three women coming here, she would miss her chance to follow Leo. Leaving this room was out of the question. If they meet Amanda, who is simply the smartest and most irritating person Kim has ever known, she will put two and two together and realize what’s going on.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4uL0qT57Y
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3cpCjjRGn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckeVD6chXC
Before Kim could say anything, she heard the door to the ladies’ room fly open and the sound of wheels of a wheelchair alongside some footsteps. She couldn’t help but press her lips tightly together.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbOUgcXEgt

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVbeKIs6vb
Kim took a deep breath and flushed the toilet before she quickly opened the door to the stall and rushed out. Trina was shell-shocked when she heard Kim rush out as she did. She wanted to go out as well, but she was too shocked to move. Kim, on the other hand, managed to wash her hands in the sink. Without drying them, she rushed out of the ladies’ room.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzwDEUdngf

Angel stood outside the restaurant with Eric, Oliver, and Leo. Mr. and Mrs. McDonell stood a few feet away from them, saying their last goodbyes to Mr. Cho. Marco said his goodbyes to the McDonells when he slowly started to approach the four waiting in front of the restaurant with his hands in the pockets of his black trousers. Eric and Leo looked at him like snakes, ready to strike at any provocation. Oliver and Angel didn’t pay him much attention at first.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2JI8VjF1

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSax6q6EA0S

Marco raised his eyebrow when Angel spoke, and he smiled even more. “I get that comment a lot. When I meet people for the first time, I can’t help but be curious about them. I’m sorry if the way I looked at you made you uncomfortable.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXNJMhuDEH

Speaking of Carly, Angel found herself quickly looking behind her to see if Carly was coming out of the restaurant. Nothing. Moreover, there was no sign of Trina or Kim anywhere.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm67w9IA7P

No sooner did Angel turn away to look at Marco, did Kim suddenly appear in the lobby of the restaurant, approaching the door. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Leo, with Angel, Oliver, and Eric beside him. They were with the other man they had dinner with. She couldn’t let them see her, so she went back into the dining area and decided to wait for Trina at the table they had been sitting at.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQTx2xOvkq

Carly left the ladies’ room and started to make her way to the restaurant’s front when a woman in a white dress quickly passed her with no warning, almost bumping into her. Carly stopped and watched the woman walk away, and it didn’t please her that the woman didn’t so much as apologize. Brushing the incident aside, Carly made her way to the entrance, where she found Marco looking straight at her when she walked out.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZimsD1iqq

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MLDe5wq3F
Carly didn’t know what to say next as she looked over at Marco, still smiling. Arguing with him wasn’t going to get her anywhere. She gave a nod, accepting his apology. However, she still felt she had to be more careful around him.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jSMCb4zUU

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhYSzNnXA
Angel continued to look at her sister, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It seems like she didn't meet Kim and Trina in the ladies' room, Angel thought. If she had, Carly was going to ask and might as well have told Leo about it. May be it was for the best if she hadn't seen them after all, Angel concluded.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVylPuKUCL

A minute after Carly left the ladies’ room, Trina quickly walked out, breathing a sigh of relief that she hadn’t been caught. She hoped she would find Kim waiting for her outside the restaurant, but as soon as she walked around the corner, she felt her phone beep in her green purse. When she pulled it out, she saw a message from Kim telling her to come back to their table. Trina found Kim exactly where she said she would be and went over to join her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnE7BxyEgW

The two women walked out of the restaurant, looking both ways to make sure there was no one else from the McDonell family around. They watched Leo from a distance and started to follow.

At the entrance of the hotel, a black Chevrolet SUV pulled up, and the door to the passenger side flew open. Red Lion stepped out of it. He wore all black today, with a black leather jacket, shirt, jeans, and black boots. Hugo had come along with him as he appeared from the other side of the car. Red Lion signaled for the driver to go ahead and pack the car. The car drove away as Red Lion and Hugo approached the doors to the hotel.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQDCcnmiK

“I hear something came up at the last minute,” said Red Lion. The door to the elevator flew open. A blue-eyed blonde woman walked out of the elevator, holding the hand of a young brown-haired girl. The two men entered the elevator. Hugo pressed the button to go to the floor, where they were supposed to go. The doors closed.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDknHB2BFG

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF3mpbAOrY

They had finally reached the hotel room, and before Hugo could knock on the door, Red Lion turned to look at him.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpRlogoxI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ko34O3vX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtnstA7wVw
“You’re right,” said Red Lion. “But I have a good feeling about this one. And there will be fewer contingencies, I promise you that.” He indicated with his head to Hugo to knock on the door.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQcN95oEs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44aakc6WKp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23n3Yqsdew
Hugo did as instructed, and a few seconds later, the door flew open. Standing before them was Walters.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGbskORXPo
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkVN7ichKd
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQL4VSwJYO
“Hey, Walters,” said Red Lion, not waiting to be invited in as he walked past. “Good to see you’re early.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ytnlyL090
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAho9cdQ5WP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt03WWQvKlu

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW4WHpPPwP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHr6dkaZ3Q
Before Walters could say anything, the door to the bathroom flew open, and Miranda walked out, humming to herself. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Red Lion and Hugo standing in the living room. Her face filled with horror when she saw Red Lion, as the memory of him back at the party came back to her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FyO63yGJ1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq0GhzEDlJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7rs2M5vRY
Red Lion smiled at her, remembering her as well. “I remember you,” he said. “You were the girl who couldn’t mind her own business, right?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCzxqCESkh
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUK8i6CAL5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJCT8Rueyg

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcimJEGobF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFJDJQzoNS
“I’m joking, sorry,” said Red Lion, quickly reading the room. “I didn’t mean it like that, really. I don’t want to ruin this for everyone, so I’m sorry.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfy7F9vpmb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0XQW64VR

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ8g4DYdKu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqMSOu7IJj
She slowly made her way to the open balcony. Red Lion watched her go, and as soon as she was out of sight, he turned to look at Walters. Walters knew what he was about to say, so he quickly had to say something.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7tODgqHLO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfIaFhPsS3

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEVau71BDx
“Oh, I’m in too much of a good mood to say it now,” said Red Lion as he smiled and approached Walters. “But she better not mess things up for me, got it?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2qWDO6ppp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbSIfu3vVT

Red Lion gave me a huge grin. “Cheer up and relax, Walters,” he said. He sat on the couch. “Oh, the game is on. Pour me a glass of champagne, would you, Hugo?”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAfDrs8kjf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJtP7ddHm6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wXoI7pykA
“Sure,” said Hugo. He gave Walters a look before going over to the tray. Walters, on the other hand, felt relieved that Red Lion was in a good mood. But she had to give Miranda a heads-up.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkGirxO8Xx

Angel held on to Oliver’s hand as they walked out of the hotel’s doors into the beautiful garden outside, with well-manicured square lawns surrounded by short green hedges. The garden lights made the place look even more beautiful, as Marco had proclaimed. Angel couldn’t help but look around in awe. There were a few lawns up ahead with white garden benches to sit on. A few people walked around the garden. On the east side was an outdoor bar.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aAY50oLwr

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBzNPjppO2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz98sn2Rjy
Angel had a brief look behind her and noticed the look Leo gave Carly. She couldn’t help but feel there was something wrong with this whole affair. She remembered that Eric mentioned that he and Leo had thought of staying behind. Was it because Leo thought of spending some time with Carly? Then a sudden thought came over her. Kim.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS28bV8cEO

Angel snapped out of her thoughts as she realized she had actually stopped in her tracks. Oliver, who walked with her, looked worried.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9i6TqsjC5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEOobukIO6

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JvMB7YAJi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAGKWBIDmC
She turned to look behind her, and she got caught looking at Marco, who, for some reason, wasn't smiling at her. Was he also worried about her? No, that's silly, Angel thought to herself.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYiVqCpWBz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI7jnnlOvl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3k9FCCG0J
Her eyes soon fell on the pair of lovebirds. She realized that the two were slowly following behind them in deep conversation. Angel couldn't tell what they were talking about, but if Kim was here for Leo, then it spelled trouble. Kim would without a doubt realize that Carly is Leo's new lover.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3mr1H4Uzk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl5hxUF29x

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZeiViSqtR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOAEkifNVO
His eyes fell on Angel, who didn't look so happy with him. He started to wonder if maybe it was because he was hanging back with Carly. He thought staying far behind would give him and Carly the opportunity to run off without anyone noticing. He would've had to wait a little longer for that to happen.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArqlLlQonJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yowUZDULb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQLTDuQE5
However, he found himself blushing at the way Angel looked at him. Angel, on the other hand, wondered whether to tell Leo or not that Kim was around.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLk9JPJuZ1

Kim and Trina stood a few feet away from the exit that led to the garden. They watched as Leo and others walked down the straight stone path into the garden. Leo and Carly looked like they were in some conversation with the rest ahead of them.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveqT061t0U

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8Y8Nh3yf
Kim agreed with her. The two stood behind one of the open doors of the exit, peeping every now and then. If anyone were to look behind them, they could easily turn their heads to face the other direction.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ8SeIyAGF

They slowly walked along the path. The men and Oliver ahead of them turned around the corner to the right, heading towards the fountain. Oliver seemed to be saying something funny because the men had smiles on their faces. Children can be something sometimes, Angel thought to herself.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRQ8KAmdoF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnvimm6H0N

Carly swallowed as Angel turned to face her. There was a serious look on Angel’s face. Carly didn’t want to admit it, but the look made Angel look even more beautiful. Her dark brown eyes looked so intense that, as much as Carly wanted to look away, she still found herself looking into them. Carly cleared her throat before she spoke.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov87muKAJg

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucX99VO8hO

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDRzgAT6a7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodM0lVvzn4

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBGZZ7Zlu9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6llKzVhHK

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkuK6FLlx0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4iAzK2t5q
Angel had to choose her words cleverly there. She thought it was best not to tell Carly about Kim and Trina. No doubt, she would tell Leo, which wouldn’t spell good for anyone right now. And if he were to lose his temper in front of Marco, the result would still remain the same.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsz9HmvLq3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3QciImf2

The sisters hurried along, and from afar, near the exit door of the hotel, Kim and Trina looked on at the two sisters. They started to make their way slowly down the stone path into the garden. With the cover of trees, they could still hide themselves from plain sight.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNfS64E2R
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV9JkRkAJP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N04LBvMUY
“I’m guessing Angel didn’t tell Carly about us,” said Kim as she stood beside a tree to hide herself. She noticed Carly laughing aloud.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJYabEE8M

“Maybe they were talking about the other man who is with them,” said Trina, who looked towards the fountain. “When I noticed him at their table, I couldn’t help but realize how handsome he is.”352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1vUebSa4e

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KkMYpUKwS

“Oh, I can assure you, Angel,” said Marco as he came over to her. “They were in a deep argument about it. I didn’t want to intervene since it felt more like a family affair.” Marco raised an eyebrow at Eric and Leo.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbT5HSC8t

Marco looked at her with a smug smile on his face. "I was just asking," he replied. "I'm betting a woman like her is already taken."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmymcChuFPJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7xxO8FPoH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuql20Es5gN
Carly cleared her throat. Lying to him would've been appropriate, but she knows Angel wouldn't like that, especially if he happened to ask around.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzirQ9Zeq9X
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66tXsBKRwG

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09jYGTlaM0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dWf0Yj5UK
His response surprised Carly. He sounded like he had known Angel all his life. She noticed the look in his eyes when he went back to look at her sister. She couldn't tell what she saw in them, but it made her suddenly want to change the subject.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZMS7qn9k4

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1rkN4g5FL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkdnGETi9X
The look in his eyes disappeared as he turned his head to answer her. "No," he said. "Or can I say yes? Many women fall head over heels in love with me, and they enjoy my company so much that I can't really point out if I have one."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lJSKELoxh
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IV3zkjmR2

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8YXUHsfXL

She turned to look at Angel, who had somehow managed to get a coin from Leo. He dug into the pocket of his trousers and fetched out his wallet. He brought out a nickel and placed it in Angel’s outstretched hand. She gladly smiled at him.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBbx9m1zas

"I can show you tomorrow if you want," said Angel. "I would like to have done it right now, but you're in a suit, and you've already given me what I need." She gestured with her eyes toward the coin.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlO2MZPbQF

Angel looked forcibly at Eric, warning him that he shouldn't have said that in the presence of a child. The others, who saw her expression, almost burst out laughing. Eric knew he was going to get an earful from Angel after this.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRX50TQGg6

Miranda felt like staying on the balcony a little longer. Walters had come to check up on her a few minutes ago to see if she was okay. He brought her a glass of champagne to cheer her up a little and asked her if she would come back inside. She declined, telling him that she would only come in when their host arrived.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n8nqavaVK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62tuop6u45
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQrXJpjZop
As she looked out of the balcony, below her was an open bar. It was evening, and it would only be obvious to find people occupying the tables on the cobblestones of the bar area. Some in large groups; others small. She wished she could go down there and get herself a drink, but not when she was only there for business.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfTqsbS6yQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTzzzgmxZP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRIOXbSYQ6
She took a sip of her champagne and wished for something out of the ordinary to happen. After Red Lion terrified her with his presence, she felt going back in there wasn't much of an option.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8zcSZkeCj

After taking the glass away from her lips, she stared at the bar below, and her eyes suddenly fell upon a face she never expected to see. Her heart fluttered at the sight of his handsome face. Looking elegant in his suit was Leo McDonell in the flesh.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY22vM76XvH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsk0Pmg7kP
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznSoFG4I0v
Miranda gasped, and her fingers around the glass almost grew so numb that she had to quickly tell herself to get it together. Leo McDonell was here. And he walked into the bar area like he owned the place. That's one thing she liked about him. He carried with him authority, and he didn’t shy away from showing it.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3INB1XupX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6suzipJPN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgJeZ1Ijqt
Walking beside Leo was another good-looking man whom Miranda felt she had also seen before. Behind Leo was another handsome Asian man. And walking beside him were two women who looked extravagantly beautiful. One of them, who wore a red dress, held the hand of a little boy. She couldn't see the faces of the women clearly, as they had their backs facing her as they talked to the Asian man.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpY0W0Z4HQ

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LFiM7XXzg
Miranda turned to Leo, and after he talked to the man who was beside him, he turned around while the man he had been talking to walked to the bar counter. The woman in the red dress and the child went over to the other side of the bar, with the Asian leading the way. Leo remained behind with the woman in the aqua blue dress. Miranda still couldn't see her face.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui0bduSnMc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK6zk9qSHN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLHB8gIVvV

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdw0cY1J5p
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHVPb7uox4
The man who went over to the bar called over to Leo. Leo turned to him and went back to address the woman before leaving her on her own. Miranda would've glued her eyes on Leo, but she wanted to see who this woman was.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O6VS7VUGn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyokltPwAN4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I8nD9UF9Q
The woman in the blue dress started to look around the bar, and it was then that Miranda saw the side of her face. There was no mistaking who it was under all that makeup. And she should've known from the very start by her body language that it's her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8hkwJuEee

The glass in Miranda's hand slowly started to grow a crack, but she somehow managed to stop herself from fully breaking it. She watched Carly with viciousness, as she looked elegant in her aqua blue dress. Miranda felt like jumping off the balcony to reach her quickly.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDd1GKP4lF

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B2anEXqRE
Miranda put the glass down on the glass table on the balcony and took a deep breath. Her heart felt like it had been lit up by a fiery fire, and it was raging ever more quickly. There's something she has to do about it. She had been keeping this frustration in for a long time, and the woman down there just had to be the reason for it. It was best to let it out on her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36mgyFViJO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9guTmgEpus
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczcaMDQDxs
Miranda had to think of an excuse to go downstairs. As much as she wanted to see Leo down there in person, she had to get rid of Carly first, and no one was going to stop her.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnqshNDW3v
