“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ItbzkQ4J
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KJViZSiL0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pp6OydhNf

“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30XL9HdghS

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPWZ0iK2CY
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbxCCT8PAZ
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfkeb1OCW0

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tpIW6ATD6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwblv8WRt0
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEAFqKOmo
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb39aTOvdT
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAkF59VyP5

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBYO2nmnRA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4gh92TBG1
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKpPwHP1q6
want to say it.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPdOF2lflb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dtyHvtu1
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrstTbrJvzg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBsO6d2PU
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYRhzh1tpk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDXqTmWE3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmGpjFoW1o
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1omoZc8H4E
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7poT9B6j5s

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3HmQG3J9R

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgahCR3u2L
because that’s just how she is.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1FnA3X0f
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW9W9hCLsq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dSuVjcvxR
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhE0TbNeY
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjbP3VB3p
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlhP5yCexT
your fun.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOTN2NmJvw

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ozrfECA9S
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R8Z9esmCp
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkfABtAvW6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztzuACeyPi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQ7pi29OK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQO8Po2PYP
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM6pGMhkqU
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vRzQaqzN
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt9CvgSrzB
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5GJTruUo7

“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmZPWoXO7D

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgztCWFaG2F
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnUxvPQeOX
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq1CGEJEU6
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wbXywXVdo
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk3WUPHKsM
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHZJuhivv
that they should join Angel and the others.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdF1db7ANA

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0NBBUDZn
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYXENQ8TG9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RvUXRE9HA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvGz3kIyyi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xna3lcyZI
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9RXR5RGsb
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmohZSrRrFY

Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYebaSfQbUI
their sight.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEcCxY23KM

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh6KRQCYMW
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqoBVbZNE6
they aren’t at their table.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PKTpgYcdB
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQiXXYHAa7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mMNDfftGL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHLX2vuPSo
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfw3PdgV5l
the counter.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN745HuXPq

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fjpQ1epOW
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M5UfHzUbr
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvUJkS9F5
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqstiqqQ2aM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1VTqEbODD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68hVcu3FIz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2CTASqbjg
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71TcQcTETA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXvjGt1CLN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmuWbAuCKC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWySLJKm03
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ953WqufmEy
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuWb1VVBWr
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUkjhiOmwW
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y137RuEKO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjqDvuDprx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5YXusMqVV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhtwdBlsGy
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ud05GWl3
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ11L5g1QCN
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98J1kFDt1a
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYtWpiaML1
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkVJBGgQV4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL7BlrtvFz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ77wPTcHai
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD8QiTCUlZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9dBOiDjcs
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDFH71rOoY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnrAkuLsXK
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIqtcOKr0H
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1QduxQZ0K
would speak first.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGLPmAyEkd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pD8ddOqQC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP3Sp4eGKw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8VfpNlwVn
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4fdSBeBLk
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ceH58N882
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZrgttppvx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb3CqgZxKK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGy9DAIrAv
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d2Zn3fAWA
he gets here. I really need to step out.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNCarIDN24
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLuyhOlvs3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb8jHHJUN1
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ33KoSjlgc
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyzfG9tsfk
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPVgCiiSGk
it was hopeless to do so.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpxFgHvlqB
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfaNEFVnGa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t2LyivQZP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLS3GC9Txi
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgoBMfOXPu
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhothpqYYNG
Walters calls.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZOvf6EB6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3IlMISueL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GqRfAAew
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd41jWAREpG
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbirCMDaLV
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKiTB8n9Kd
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjNQ1ua8Ld
minute.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrSV49i42W

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmUb1cFLzD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7zN0Nlvbx
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrdCZuuOqn
door.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIFpBFodOP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOwLBeLUvV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQFnhaQHru
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH79j9dPaY
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Bo0hf57x
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGfimTy66O
any moment.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40WOuSgF50
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmmug9fSpy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKv7cY4Fk8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUAOXOQEiO
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q8JJafQc2
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgt8wC5q3S
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK1N70Pyrc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVlhQ8cuVk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLvKeSB0xn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsJQ3n1hP4
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQaUfcTk43
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXQthfMjOr
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvB9FO7vo5
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vzuyNjuIX
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhEq2mSSBK

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEUfHWdxcB
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2cLA5ONfO
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINJLF21DGo
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbf4akBHm
next day.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzTFGh8NF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1VgGAHEa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm8CVCAlqE
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEmCD1nMzr
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcpgowbs5d
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHvUGjyuUC
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jhj2p5FLq

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5cPYRhADz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjFtXIa6N5
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEoHOdEhB
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ABQw6pG5
Eric and shook her head.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02JA7pKCH1

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsKFvsA8m0
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6JJKMhHLB
thanked him as Leo sat down.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJTnt1Xmj1

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqtXlXsySj
“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok0zaLmskC
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhe7jkYnQX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YPp92mPEN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmnSFZIXnN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYcBXnCAC6
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgQCS9M2Cq
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dS69FEuc
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8BoewUoGY
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMP84fK2gD

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsSWqKwawl

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRNrtEoqF2

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8SyhQnEF4
parlors when I’m older?” Oliver asked as he took a nacho and dipped it in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyosBv0Q7P8

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEEZHab3o
they all burst into laughter.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUC60TxQjw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQB8xbxA4a
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd5Cf6zXRP

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh0sJDTdzm

“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbuXDiVqhZ
supposed to inherit it, not me.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHAzzFEEpH

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUyzT05czs
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziTNFCOhko

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM9H1fhHbl

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRdyX3mhhp
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii7EFXGhXT
out his hand to get a nacho.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvem53sGpw1
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHNODRAfmE
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmsc9qn29q
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCSdOURwgo
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfSx9XVm8T
afterwards.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN5rHEpJnl

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjjsUNtuQF
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13cuUL9zdR

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNHnarjkXP
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXcxnQZwi
the statement.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgSwRItOea

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h2MMnVt5M
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOGn62rCR
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TywKFKotr
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6I5EIj6os
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡburYM7WJk2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbQEvr6d76
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmhTckESoj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqHbPzZo3
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT6n8dtzmK
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAUoE9nqeV
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjNYSIaas4
elsewhere. What should she do?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCntgaZHdj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaDmBt9WcW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK1hEGQ8dK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQvGwmqbhs
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvj18ke5kb
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho5siAclBl

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPltlSp570H

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmTrWEYl1h
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERCvJyz3un
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFpfuT2FdF
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgjbjI9GCL

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0lLDHECfT
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XGD87bV8z
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTExVfKwxGb
necessary.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeVipgUDwN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLtyEMedcT

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamcwS0RRn9
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQiQs49AK

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvUi4HVYwu
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotLfv6WfYE
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUy67tczSJ

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivG6z69ki5
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsbjjh9Mbg
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU1GiNABEv
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7OEeFK3bL
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAeuHbOxgA

us.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUzfkDjl58

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt4e2HhXuW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO20FgwdBpJ
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Gp6IrfPA

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvMESn0CzO
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXhYUISXzA
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnhA8jkgy1
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU20LQOFv7b
counter for a drink.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgWLRJ8fLl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaaysm2ujD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJF1nqTfrP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNmgZOgsV6
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUDzqkXZ4d
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7tdXCuuD3
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NXJy7d341

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZe7U42EQ9

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd454NaVzf
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp3OFHa15m

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ1Te0IMGK

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkdkRxfkx
just as jealous as I am,” she said.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKh3dhsCt

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf3yjzP11m
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxYoY3O92e

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjqUNlydK1

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnhaHgiq9Z
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ3Zf9tL6G
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjerL4SZ06

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP52LUjvHPc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wk7KYn4lg
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8URDnZbW1
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBT0JDvCHq
isn’t going to do you any good.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjCl59PQXz

Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwhPVF0d0S
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTANAvcZWqS

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDkA76kv14
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPigNj431X
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWFctakeOD

Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdhlUZYvwJ
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0wQWBrSIB
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyAthYQcyK

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujQNUoIBVq
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUorOhjaTm
she didn’t even give them a second thought.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQzjiTYgYD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq2KbRJS0P
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFxFEz9Obl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5qRWZBdU6
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImh8Ocy3Rl
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy2FEIVTRT
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ArAXbfVp
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEPLlCUXmx
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vdZAmYwkL

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUbOm1jijX
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvH33M1MWr
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2LHcZdja5
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIWUEpLfQC
she wasn’t too careful.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQrcz71Gv

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc735FeDx3P

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLplV4z9Bz
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64OP6q199G
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0038M3vIPG
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIXpC4Dgvx
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQm5BpprRQ

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ok0odzlkz
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUwJ2KWGDx
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuRrdVP16I
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xv8T5HpFn

that Angel had to come by taxi to take me home," Carly shared. "We299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH2WBbPgXB

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1uzbHzRC
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLx6959Rol

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr828RZN3yK
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM5PXCqVO3
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc3WntAZLx

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiiVqwIGk2
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACoV4au20L

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsV6basOZc

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0prU9EteXk
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUNsAQMg7

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWf33GOG2q
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzozAEa1K4r
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFROOdOKhUQ
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNtJMGeGRt
sincere.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ4e9chRZC

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdhrqaqslw
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WwEK56b9a
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVC7uctTL3
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM3kgT8vnS
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrzxpb66ot

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZ4JpYibQ

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4ZQm6SyN
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYu7zpvJyS

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93utzJ7YQL

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKw7vNs3qO
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n8oe0ZIxo
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0mD5m7YoG
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntbWpxXLSj
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5TcayZSkf
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hzoZnICKW
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4LVFQXIY
for it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjHouyEYwA

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBV2alylUJ
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFag1K4Mnno
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuGDxR5TrI
though she had woken up from a bad dream.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBiuIAP9ws

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepJwpojZpR
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVJIvM4pNt
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN2egoi2eH
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNPAP23jrV

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwTWFXc5Op
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CzdrLqj1l
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M0b14hqiu
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C7dgcYD6s
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieJRUe5z5V

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQtbhHCyIL

Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27JITjesa5
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Co4I5RJr
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT6KemkYgA
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWv9UZrDYv
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmS4qOBZSN
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSQAMh80cq
notice her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT194XxGcm

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc6oh9sVbU
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tW1S4Vux
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C0pnZGP5b

Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcuY4q1XzR
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXu97hx0QI
surprise.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp0uQEEvGi

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf9QZR8pff

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxfwz8sxqu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTh7cKZayW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdnjb2F3EZ

“At the candy store.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZVOdpzYhZ

bumped into that moving shelf.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7MpRNXt9m
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuoa7T9ht4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ITKHHqTYO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkCtvgzTaE
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT3ptDxsJZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6CI3T3rki
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZeoDbLITD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRjimk2jWK
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YGPMBVpEa
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNNhrz8fSl
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjxBmMY7lm

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFFPcoNvSc
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtwVE8Xy8d
their conversation ended here.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHEb63lI7y

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBcVMefAtJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkF4YjkVw4
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwetHYBvD64
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP6yq9Si3u
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm7YwMmNeV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDAHDfKCOD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUNDZ6bxAs
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0yZ8jvUGw
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxksLBEe2h
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5BLeulxpx
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Qou8NKwC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhhCsJX3op
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0mS2alU2

Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6PuUAT4d6
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZael8HWWDD
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnv4sQ7wrN
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh9JYdMy0d
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOxCuvCCVM
leave, but after she finished her martini.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7djS42P5O3

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClUpT757i1
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2OmwDVMF

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTomzM7ZMO

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiytY3hDouE
Kim’s shoulder.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKmcnO8C0M
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeBzasZEs0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw2BzWWcYW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuiaE9VVoV
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVT51XvgAl
idea. We should get out while we can.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEjTAAJQur
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhsmElwhvg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr3lH3oano
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq13pGDwb1p
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm31aB9SADb
the conversation. Let’s go.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcQuSv6heF

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwUGilhYn
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57VJFFnTf
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElkKiX69Ap
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45IF3iXlBz
were able to see Leo’s table.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Sio7bqRd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKixIu3iUM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39bTtSqG61
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXONFJKNK58
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEjxOUKgXB
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmPsxhHLC3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJekAcCtN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkHkuCz3ZT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCzJezWdsT
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9gtgXnbOb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYbn0EaQLA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7zAJSJFP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG3OeTDjAN
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3rSx3s0Nu

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcAeinCt2v
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05bS5EoZaz
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oD5DOAijg
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzkp8TerVt
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HHiEDLlJe
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQpEr03QeH
counter in anticipation.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5WcnOJRno
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEcohyVhXO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ITYU5IIPw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9A6tlCznq
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zHU87MSqF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHowUOpqwa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTBSWQAMYZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6aaFZKdP
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JtisNEQZn
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq2D77vQ3d
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyVtQDXJbL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx1qCUH1CO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PuR39uyvY
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP4j1YeAyX
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOmMlkPMYC
head.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7moWYRBUF

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNV2kPXXtX

“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9Qr0my1W
not at that intimate level.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQHpssIZUw

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfur74xba2

Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLc7yhkjR

he was being friendly to me.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRtNKFuEpm

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUXYdUJs4v

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDXcnfdAf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB6chm5NA6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cntq6aFKt
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6d78cn6Rg
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR0fdPYWp4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjATMiTOML
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLwkHzQHWY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaZlNWzn6K
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLjjDKOY3
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo8ZtPbZNl
counter.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweVZHrxymE

Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fPRbki5H4
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U1gN2hxo0
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBewwRykCjl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CstUkaoyM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbyaLOcMvz

“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiMaFcesyg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vS5uOoibn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqrSLEjJqC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgWzr2oEaq
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKatHQAgRW
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2OJmkZkPS
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvBiMbAH5n
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvIXUPpUxW
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7qDH9j3ce
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI37S3xf5Ya
that was different from Carly’s.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJAKhp8IL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pl1e5N5nH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE02HHyPLVR
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDBkQbmImE
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDq71FB14g
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2rmVQZEm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDColx4Ve3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIU6ef5IK6
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOBQS3cwnW
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaaFzrUO4T
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcUmiLaDwW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNtslnvNvJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZ5CIBdhD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68MK4xwwIB
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVe1W5j7J2
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1PkR4DSjP
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8WVfWQs4
doing here?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQv54YJ7p0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dSnLPVWir
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy51Rqx82IF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp5ZBHO0va
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4WlAUzt6
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0B4ijTRBT
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cp1SvEt6S
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1rXuNFnGl
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEcDqyLKrZ
surprised look.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG6RYU4Kbc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2brnLDpyL2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdTPMRlKHc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB1utHEc5u
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d6dhHcpeE
get her attention, but she thought better of it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs3tNJgcRd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsvLoqu7l
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN8EuIMzGa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIb67QV2HB
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulobH4q7Ln
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaCVXpWtS
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZkFxweuJ9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcMTPROUFs
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJukSpplrKs
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UnjbeJ62J
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h4LUOSAGz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fSnk2jigg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpNeiAVyM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbutlWFBwD
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02rTw5mhMK
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWplFrXCPE
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOzTzV2GJm
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRHmjxMch
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sx79zhZLU
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Gf986oHq
the table.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAYVbgOQxV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b9QjQtcKH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoA3FWAYVm

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGQ5MOK78B
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPWILzHj21
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOcmdoAWZZ
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfHfj5xP8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLivUHGllG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sugo052Oz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HwJm6O2z
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7wuOT5u17
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HFwboJa5I
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoEMxNMupl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N91Ce3m5m
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQd21ZNKfl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZtmYQZeNG
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAv0BZDbdx

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIlIYXuJmr
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSA8GZL9Uq
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcrhtXnZPx
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpehI1eoENQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJaTq9i0uo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8KTepb7h7

Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPubymXUkRD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUsZTQGmrc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa9ZfX5Biv
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjXPAIF6Ic
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB4S2xiCR8
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SNUlZ20n
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG1cNpPxMw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9JO9QKNdg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKwB6FaePQ

said Marco.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7WZRYrWol

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcemQWAL8T
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1D5VvhFIg
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjECtYapGpw
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ067gIo6Asq
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqqsOdRwDV
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9uNwCZIqb
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEh9MLtQ3t
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4CLwcxlog
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DjEgN2bTQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCe7dOjv1t
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmZWdYmR31
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvkuB8ZDmw
thinking about.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVF3zTDjOP

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AB9XWNsbP

at Oliver.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LaOUXF3hO

heading out too.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7KgTkPLDw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M6EwxGSzx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQXcuwvRwD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH0aNHDWrE
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBogAkPkiF
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIpTwnqUt6
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpAYATsONd

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim9U3RvnGZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZUjdzyjW

here.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOF9LTv6i8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJcWNyQaXH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkFJhtnEtJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32CulpSuR0
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q9kPuSfca
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1T2isS8Ue
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0gX2MOnPi
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYJtGtMclY
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hEf61X04k

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZbZYrPKEA

“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW4F1SWsW1

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYMk6mqyGl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSDjB67KDo
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYPjuIfiQQ
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6CdQoFQHA

“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl6JXieVaj
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULra5ICdop
get your number, Angel.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VijG9tL8X

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrqLvsL6gZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaZEMti93K
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBNWCQZjSG
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKUlnrHoB
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0U4DFZVJ
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwtZxsh79D
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4myqd2D73X

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJIj2v5OSa
should do this sometime soon.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA67evcuaDU

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDiqEtLWF4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkUVr48tMa
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZFyWtPH9J
difficult.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX9aqmDlpa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudpKXZ2HdP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9GzUmNtx5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSo8eBZMrf
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCgJOJ8TS0
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bQHbe8cEp
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFVXvWXlFU
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xBAhBn4pA

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsY04mA59q

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuzGOWW58z
much at all for a while.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHwgwT1YPN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz6uitC8Yd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqemPQzc6gX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitM1hWhoei
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCSHSmpdXb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJFKsk5ESn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7n3UnrjHY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wfkNgoQt2
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5XogWUW6W
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEQ0CnZFsX
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8eX4PcseL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NCYNjvWy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdDgL38xs
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84vPcgSD9
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxgoo3RGYX
home.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpuqtsTNNF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBjIhrcS42
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g3MUOyaaY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYZNLDtXpU
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4hYmvyGVs
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxUnfr21jz
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p0TlPt8Ud
Miranda might still be around.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH9B7FNPEq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVRjHajt2D
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4b667syAO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQiS5CZyMG
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0PLKpJuW5
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNMbzFUV1r
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOKlZMvqKV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75PWuqpik0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4urO2hMv6Q
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjVmiZQWW
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AtL9Gz9p4
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nuNza4qr3
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyo7eW7QC

the bar area.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfpLAfjApV

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8QbLTXcEF
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTYuNhQL9T
they started to stand up.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRmEOTFqM2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6vNXthqzY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoAdD2BOR9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlixS1o3yb

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOWiv4YkXD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM3MpnSdzp
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmRYLWq1TB
see.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuqjnP5RbX

299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcQZWePapk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qjh0SiQ8u
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdds5YzA7u
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlpZuviQnd
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeth9lRCCtm
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltvEtRqaro
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW41LKULvt
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDAEuovnZO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv1VCvoTJH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WmG9Q0rRO
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMCX0EyFRx
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVveK3Y76zk
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMsxFX7tjG
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQzVsUvyjq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO81iMkbydS
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji1o77imCv
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooH5b2vlBG
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMsxkcbOEe
seen us.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYAHuOazkP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTb59D6zPZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcZsx5u13n
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcSvaR8Apq
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYLKvkF45v
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TIxJXDnLA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFci592i4ym
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARl8CDCTTq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2RHv4Rt2
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMD2p82v53
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFD0lwGvQf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJkXD3Pv5T
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIcRR2SLAk
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqyYsjMC2d
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKcgT2LIuo
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mm8MJPBXz
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuNl8Is1hP
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrdTWyROCy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnLkJdqedi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1pS1dGaQd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SBmrJzaYK
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE01NWfJAil
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDINnA8BrH
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4soXGv8nbn
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWyaP0fxos
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7utVaILgRD
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiew02mgqIi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9DArQiYq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIza2BvLTZy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWIufQuFLL
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmIlp4zI3i
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGYTwsjJiN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRrxIIGCrF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjQr8GfQlw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInWOjhp2Mr
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTgajXTuMr
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUizwMrea9y
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0EpoHDGR6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XGRcPeKut
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vfEWyxomb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2nFus19q2
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nGzbIlJpW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyddl4hBpdj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4wRBPzpG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHs068JKxD
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYfDkTY6ah
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRVs4NmxJq
this wasn’t over.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S7BRDpuq7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp5YKHX9u5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMNiJdTBsC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAHYn0btDc
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HG0gGhLrh
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSCuK8DJl
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanoxjP2KJ9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFHuwWQnAM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T4VBBqq9v
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRbYowcuUn
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObwZTAsmXi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVafwStvZi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBNBptDV8F
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt7wIKzgC2
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYuTsRco0i
favors," said Angel.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z2mXvtzGq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Xa1oicbK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhgM9uwgfy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwemDrttALZ
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zF9dZJSXP
they been there?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWx8ucpIzf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NsWHg8VmM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x4BI1Ag0H
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD7l45hDrK
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMHhBWtD73
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZAmGZV7p6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqad2cdf9De
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fXT8dh7it
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IULSgRQkz
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy9njmh4Vr
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNrNbk2tI3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ7YxDwrbV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTxstcU8KX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLidI9w8M
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18SWjQJA1i
so you've got to be careful from now on."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP31AlesGEm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg4sobBWP9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWdnJAAK5J
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmrUezbQjy
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdIUzusuS
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWqaK14g0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUylQ6xE6ku
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ5vEi14wB
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbWcnchOqi
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlbWfkUjsh
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfi77hjNq
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c1UDfBIWC
night only.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Bsz3qwgJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGECJDUIgB3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfY2HIIJlr
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyTZTqluRJ
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rH0zGuWYZ
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvycM434qD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClmvtzDyiG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo22cfr8br
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiBv79evL1
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkebP7YWA9I
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRhFijjvXF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN5luhqNS5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAVKdBGhx3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHR0HwnVoy
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPiks54Htg
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVh1gQtz8E
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDmOtfhG8X
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT5YrDE8dq
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGInURKXX5
want one?”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmCx0UxIlK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtTtpE9cm7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLnljostOT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSxgMhhW7o
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iViMze1yR
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed4ELfdfla
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OwmTwMEQU
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4FpSKX6w1
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8hegJGJ35
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj43VuJOZ45
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsd1LKvYix
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOBcch6yL9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiBuvXnWv7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8VwaIvCqj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03HJPFXVoQ
Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtuyRydR9q
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bbKiS386J
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqBnqPNG54
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5mzTx9gvz
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTgBTP3YxQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mulauyTPK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS0BA11BmE
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRZtu2H73i
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq32CrUO0Fu
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10KJBGrkg6
relief, it was Walters.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVEw9eM8X9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV37R24n06c
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSXius1oN7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6BSJ9RwQw
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk2RiUILdJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcpjfkxUb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSfEgM56Q5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfNbilvNHp
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz8dAdKkpw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFsg0jGhLF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsdLYMh3Jr
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJcOPqel2x
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd78O1JvPY
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBwqXmYTCx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFy44yN8nY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQSqjJ8HDA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEmYPnUuR1
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHj0HaDhh1
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT4Rw5Vnu6
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs1hWZB85U
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2mrnQSVIp
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hlmVj6oEh
Lion?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNDUBstytb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OD6C4zF6Z
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabpdtLe2tg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeemxoPbV9r
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh1CpIg0m4
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WHyzwihiI
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDmeXFjSf
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRYu1igpLa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxoPUmUQIh
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6WkfWSDoN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ8ytoDYcM
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n0AFANez3
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RtvyPOe7Y
