Miranda looked round the lecture theater one last time before heading961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqDBXcCQse
out of the door. She couldn't help but feel strange that Carly wasn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkGenhjoQt
here. The past two weeks were understandable. She had to wait for her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD24UnfF2BK
sister to recover and that there was a funeral. She thought Carly would 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXhGBfGoMk
be back by now. Did her mother's passing affect her that much?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOAWciBITL
As she walked out of the lecture theater with the rest of her college961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMT89WaAHU
mates, she went down the hall and straight to the ladies' room. She had961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3PNBDsMcz
another lecture in ten minutes. That gave her enough time to give her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrcrpfA3x
boss a call.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIGzWUaYfR
"What is it, Miranda?" Mr Walters asked as soon as he picked up.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEXAMKCTj
"She didn't come for lectures today," said Miranda. "And she is still not picking up my calls."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfluhOhZhTH
"Maybe she's still mourning her mother's death as usual."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0avZujZbbp
"Are you serious? Don't you think something is going on? Because I do."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8rUXJeh15
"Since when are you ever concerned about Carly's whereabouts?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YpT7iOr3H
"Ever since things stopped going well at the club after she left," 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKegICEdlD
Miranda answers as she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtmNBrqSNW
looked really tired and restless.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnauOxM4MFe
"I know, I know," there was frustration in Mr Walters' voice. He too was just as tired as she was.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTA3VxFvIU
Since Carly left the club, there was a hustle and bustle when it came961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bymueqnyu
to working there for Miranda and the other workers. The customers 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2yCAbtiNR
weren't happy that Carly wasn't working there anymore, and it became 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPh0qhCKIU
difficult to please them. And just like that, most of their faithful 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJe0cowSq
customers even stopped showing up to the club. And that amounted to a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiT14VdKsy
huge loss.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr7eUUUGpf
"What should we do now?" Miranda asked. "I tried asking a few of her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYzJUPPv60
close friends if they have been in any contact with her, but they 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfeEHPSHh9
haven't. It will be difficult to find her now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRwUB0H7M
"I'll handle it. There will be no need for you to try and look for her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YRbWQpGdM
"What are you planning to do?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK45k5QYURb
"You just concentrate on your studies, Miranda. Just as I said, I'll handle it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EiA8SRdri
Mr Walters cut the call and Miranda stared at her phone wondering 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzac7QPMGZn
what her boss could be planning now. If there was one thing she knew 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKqDwcF7hB
about him, is that he is willing to do anything to get what he wants. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7MlAng5Qy
Even if it means doing so in the most dangerous way possible.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Apd90I1fx
Miranda quickly gathered herself and walked out of the ladies' room to go for her next lecture.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8HFGM9WC
As for Mr Walters, he was in his office at the club tapping his 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzsjXTjJn2
fingers on the table, thinking of what to do next. He needed Carly back 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbTEzwUixv
no matter what. Life without her proved to be quite useless. He thought 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlLUxJApAU
of replacing her, but all the women who had come here to fill up her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9maEs4PCjq
vacant space weren't as good as her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JyQeHVPkU
When Carly was working at the club, business was booming. But now, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE032jCvtn
things weren't the same as it was with her around. She was more of his 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrFL2VIA7C
lucky charm.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2lSo6Pd5V
And he needed her back real bad.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcg9dvoQ5M
He picked up his phone that was on the table and made a phone call. At the fourth ring, the person at the other end picked up.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZGkwiMnuK
"I have a job for you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUSKCwm5en
***961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVn0S1i1D1
"The weather is so friendly, don't you think?" Amanda asked as she looked up at the clear blue sky.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB9Wt1aHbc
The weather was pleasant indeed. Amanda was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraxl1z3oVa
by the patio with Angel and Leo. There was a small white garden table 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywxhIrRmD
and they sat around it, with Leo sitting on one of the garden chairs.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuXZVuTK92
"It sure is," said Angel as she smiled at Amanda.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu8pcPXvVk
"Okay, what did you want us to talk about?" Leo asked as he looked at Amanda.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5bPCs2Uoq
Amanda's eyes averted from the sky to Angel 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSRCYkZZAp
and Leo. The smile she had on her face earlier soon fell away. It wasn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzSDUDXjCi
like her to be like that. That's if she wanted to talk about something 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP3Ju5YrLU
serious.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZLg1v1gSx
"I want to talk about you two," said Amanda.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRE9plXYwi
"Us?" Angel and Leo asked at the same time, again. This time, they looked at each other.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6PVs2WNCH
"Yes. I know this is going to sound weird and I hope you don't get mad."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wcOJ0wPqB
Angel and Leo didn't say anything as they waited for Amanda to continue.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX3RSZ8Gmb
"I know you two haven't been on the best of terms lately. Considering one ran over the other with their car."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejoX43Uuo9
Angel turned her eyes towards the garden while Leo cleared his throat.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTReSIMI2p0
"I hate to bring this up, but now that we're961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77XUpFGFJ6
all leaving under the same roof, it seems weird that there is tension 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlElQXlmnsW
between the two of you considering what happened."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzXiPh6sdZ
"Wait, you think there is tension between us because of the accident?" Angel asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZqh1AuUwD
"Why, yes. I noticed the way you two look at each other."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkjSwGZEM6
"Grandma, look," said Leo, "maybe you're just imagining things, okay? Why should there be any tension between Angel and I?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2I0YAcOX4
"I don't know. Maybe it's because you always look at each other like you want to kill each other."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47sSjOlEiv
Angel and Leo both gave out a casual little laugh. Amanda couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ037hJyKb98
"If anyone should be angry, it's Angel," said Leo. "Since I 'mistakenly' ran her over."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi0mO2PGZs
"And you never apologised for it," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4RQEWupSy
Amanda. "Eric had to cover up for you when you should have been the one 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ilxjl7RX
at the hospital checking up on Angel. And you're simply not comfortable 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj2ndyQkT2
with her being here because she reminds you of what you have done."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBejDuzKA
Leo turned to look at Angel who gave him a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOknfFkK0X
jeering look. Angel was simply winning this case since she was the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARNElFX5Xe
victim and Amanda had grown so fond of her. But Amanda wasn't wrong 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXHIsyj09c
about what she said. Leo was in the wrong and he should have been 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbgTztGUHV
checking up on Angel when she was hospitalised since he was responsible 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCYytKYOp6
for what happened to her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49oRNFNEwB
"Are you saying all this was my fault?" Leo asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3USkgl5st
"I'm not blaming you for anything, Leo," said Amanda. "All this was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9t6yH8paw
nothing but an accident. I thought by now you would have apologised to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaVSbdF4We
Angel. That's what a gentleman should do, right?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybPtgpTCS8
Leo sighed. He didn't want to apologise today, much less to Angel. If961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhl0RFM4ri
only his grandmother knew that the main reason for the tension between 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuf2Dj2EFI
them was because of Carly. The accident didn't even matter. Angel was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNglfprykq
Carly's sister and she found out that Carly worked as a call girl (a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfqhuA9A80
more decent way to put it) and now Leo was in love with her. And Carly 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Vys6lmGB
to Leo, was his lover and didn't like Angel after how she attacked him 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MbHjpLtpz
back at the club.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq1FsKi8rn
They couldn't tell Amanda the whole thing. She would die of a heart 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CasW1kDJ3
attack and it might just put the Barclay's reputation on the rocks 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMS0uPcKLW
considering Carly once working as a call girl. It would ruin the two 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKPNB5zLyo
sisters completely.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmgX0Z64kA
"I know, grandma," said Leo. "I'll apologise right now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNCg4itfWo
Angel grew shocked as she looked at Leo. She wasn't really expecting 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe2YgWsA2f
this at all. Leo apologising? This should be on the news headlines.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSry4yZ3Q6B
Amanda smiled. "Now that's the grandson I know," she said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF2BlDzgom
Leo paused for a moment before turning to look at Angel. He 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcusCGo85PD
swallowed. He didn't want to do this at all. But his grandma wasn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr16hZDGx5
going to let him even if he refused to apologise in the first place. If 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwc50Ss4D
anything, Angel should apologise for how she attacked him back at the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rZI7DNmKD
club, not him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1pDblcvVx
"I'm.....I'm sorry, Angel," said Leo. "I should have apologised to you sooner."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySyxQrM7y
Amanda felt like she was watching one of those soaps on television. She couldn't help but smile at the two for some reason.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvTuhRq4Eu
"It's fine, Leo," said Angel. "I don't like to keep grudges. I've already forgiven you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HWKWOh0G0
"Good," said Amanda. "This is just what I needed. Now, I hope you two961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40Iwjr9wi
won't look at each other like angry wolves again. You haven't had a go 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54w9ogN08d
at each other yet, have you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9JVaj6u9y
Leo and Angel gave each other a brief look and went back to looking at Amanda.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk6I986t7q
"No," they answered at the same time.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhONilU8usq
"Great. That's good to know."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCpJuWTdJ3
If only she knew that the two of them already had a go at each other almost two weeks ago.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFJlOGdAKR
One of the helpers soon appeared on the patio from the house.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pv9thcfEm
"The doctor is here to check up on you and Angel, madam," he said to Amanda.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKx0NkFJ05
"Oh, he came here really early," said Amanda. "I've an idea. You take961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YLCDwiuMg
me up to him first and leave Angel and Leo so that they can talk."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCsqiA3hrh
"Huh?" Angel looked at Amanda not believing what she said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiTgSW5E8l
"Yes, now that Leo has apologised to you, it's high time you two get to know each other a little better."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdh2S01C9h
"That isn't necessary, grandma," said Leo. "I'll need to go to......"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckXVB84ae2
"Work? You always like dodging whatever I say," said Amanda. "The 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGLwf7zgJP
others just left for the office a little while ago and you said you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xBk0evpoa
would be in late. There is no harm in getting to know someone. Why don't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza5oXUwlXG
you keep her company while I go get checked by the doctor? I won't be 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZp7omFvcl
long."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPYa4GNpc9
Leo almost rolled his eyes but he didn't because he knew his grandmother would scold him for it. He just sighed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLFtekNuL
"Okay, I'll stay here and keep Angel company," he said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEsA1Q7bTy
"Now," Amanda turned to the helper beside her, "you can take me to the doctor."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGJrN97XZL
"Yes, madam," said the helper and he helped Amanda into the house.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVWQvvRg1w
As soon as they were out of earshot, Leo turned to look at Angel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe1Z5VkIyE
"I can't believe I apologised to you," he said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9wMCGGnvF
"I can't believe your grandmother made you do it," said Angel with a smirk on her face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3p3sBkAa
Leo couldn't help but blush. There was something about her smirk that961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV7WlaNoJ9
made his heart race and heat up his cheeks so much. He rarely blushed. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTePjFIhVT
Not like this. Something was wrong.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXZLZ7Zd1o
"Don't make fun of me," he said as he looked the other way so that Angel wouldn't see him blush.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMO52C1flS
"Why? Does it hurt your ego that much?" Angel had her arms folded as 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U8C6XCVil
she looked at him. "I see that you're even blushing. Are you really that961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LTU6BgK0v
embarrassed?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQNgY92dR
Leo blushed even more, but this time, he looked at Angel who looked 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpGaL2D2pt
at him straight in the eye. Angel couldn't help but smile this time. Her961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcP2inh9NG
smile made Leo seem so confused, like he didn't know what to do next.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvmzWRdKLg
"Oh, aren't you going to say anything?" Angel asked. "It's so unlike 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GRPvLbJrV
you not to say a word. Has the mighty Leo McDonell gone tongue-tied 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFZW8C3MRS
today?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEukj9ftyhO
"Stop it, Angel," said Leo who finally managed to speak. "Just 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO3bUneyKF
because you've the upper hand at this doesn't mean you can do whatever 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInzjQB14Bk
you want."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRenkQUWar
"It worked for you, didn't it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny2D58NFlL
"What do you mean?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox9FbJJLqM
"You remember what happened at the club, don't you? You thought you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bfNPqJP1B
would get away with everything when you wanted to take advantage of my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKKMPxAVuZ
sister."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs45ifhPPsQ
"I wasn't taking advantage of her. You know she loves me and I feel the same way about her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9x5qgptfO
"She doesn't love you, Leo. All that is nothing but infatuation."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMwChmtZKr
"That's what you say, but I know how Carly feels about me. You just don't want to admit it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckwxEMJmSW
"I'm just speaking the truth."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIse8MD5Ms
"No, you're saying how you feel. And you don't like at me at all, Angel."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEc1kYdqL7
"Well, you don't like me either, at least we can both agree on that."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMkn8Dfi3M
"You made me hate you with the way you approached me at the club that day."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZy4dpHfE
"I was protecting my sister."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJJGF2kB4
"Oh, really? Then where were you all those nights when she used to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsOqtMlvwP
work there? If anything, you should be attacking those perverts at the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoxN2bWdTR
club who dared even touched Carly, not me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jejjugq3M
Angel banged her hand on the white garden table. That startled Leo 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Axl51czc
and the two looked at each other with a moment of silence between them.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWhwaym0oK
"You don't know," said Angel, slowly, "......what's it's like to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKifqTTxBng
know....that the person whom you trusted the most in this world, could 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGhkyyjWOa
betray you like Carly betrayed me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrvZLRuK1b
Tears started to form in Angel's eyes, but it surprised Leo that not 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnYXXnTBx7
one of them fell to her cheeks. They were just there in her eyes like 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUmLXlw3T4
crystal glass.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAavKtJubHK
"If I knew what Carly was up to from the very start," Angel 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OVuK326wA
continued, this time she was much calmer, "maybe you and I wouldn't be 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0siFEUANL
in this situation right now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApIAtz8l4J
Leo thought of what Angel said. He realised that she had completely 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ypjXEXRG
no idea that Carly was working at the club. And the way she said it, it 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkIwBRNven
seems like she blames herself for not being aware of her sister's 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0pgAjcg9U
actions.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Q1AUdrho
The two of them just sat in silence, not looking at each other.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFsapqPeE8
"Maybe now you understand," said Angel as she broke the silence and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi6S4vxxzZ
looked at Leo, "why I'll go to any lengths to prevent you from getting 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO99O4sF57
near Carly."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDaUyzE0mY
"You know you can't do that, Angel," he said. "I love Carly."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZzg7mNrFK
"That's what you think. Isn't that what all men think when they go to the club and think they are in love with some......"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nRJ7MMnQG
Angel couldn't even utter the word. As much as she was still mad at 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBH7mo1S2C
Carly, she couldn't use that word on her. Not only would it be insulting961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9sr2FwFC9
Carly, she would be insulting herself.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyjP8Iajua
"I don't see her like that," said Leo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEfuJIEyUi
"Really? What if one day you don't feel the same way you feel for her now? What would you do then?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRLXmzenEw
"That would never happen."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wSOb6Ejr6
"You're only saying that because you're a fool."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l66k3lTvQ
"A fool in love, yes."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwefbap7qq
Angel shook her head. "I want to believe you, but I can't."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzckyCxq1pE
"Why? Because you don't like me?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJMLbWK08y
Angel smirked. Again, Leo could feel his cheeks heat up.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5W8rFzGEB
"Maybe. But let me tell you this. When I found out about Carly, she 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX0xZ7Vx1T
broke my trust completely. I don't know if after our mother's passing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzz4UKfolo
and my accident that she would ever change."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLBO6KAXUd
"She has," Leo defended her. "She promised me she would never go back to that place ever again."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQAnZPienJ
"You don't know her. And until I know she has changed for the better,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsmGxrUogn
maybe then I won't have to worry about her being with you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DVQ2tUxPE
Leo couldn't help but feel confused. Didn't Angel trust her own sister? Why was she saying this?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYqCZYw7Rr
"Wait, do you think, Carly would be betray me too?" Leo asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRXYEftE2
Angel shrugged her shoulders. "If she could do that to me and my late mother to fulfill her ambitions, what more you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASCiu8O83N
Leo didn't answer and Angel expected him not to. She soon turned the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLklk4NU0cW
wheelchair around and dragged herself back inside the house leaving Leo 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPql6r2ayXM
puzzled.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmuS0IZKDZ
***961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhj5UqAKHX
Carly sighed. She had never felt this 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P9koxKVCp
relaxed in her life as she sat on the inclined chair and her nails were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7LfIkQXM
being attended to by the manicurist at the beauty salon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLdS602Rmr
"This is the life," Carly thought to herself with a smile on her face and her eyes closed. "I can get used to this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8cJ2mnGJN
When Carly got to the beauty salon with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMZzrvhD9a
Diana since Bertha remained behind and couldn't come along with them, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaxWm5dxqx
she couldn't help but admire the place. She was amazed with what Diana 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyyZupA3Gd
had achieved so far. The place was well known and many women came here 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmOguYwLBT
for manicures, pedicures, hair and cosmetic treatments.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXUujVEwAR
It was surprising how Diana didn't join her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOadlAWRDA
brother, Mr McDonell in the family business. It seems most successful 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0sYUKZeMG
rich families work together in the same company nowadays. But Diana was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCBBo03OPq
different. She wanted to do something else. Something for herself. More 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaGDgROg3Z
like defining who she really was from what everyone thought every 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab6sspf6CD
McDonell should be.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfvSWTrqKd
Carly had asked the question a while back why Diana didn't join in the family business. Diana had answered:961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5jxX3uu5D
"Our family has been successfully with the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCMLH7boPa
company throughout the years. I thought maybe I can get in the family 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjulPUcRG5
spirit and do what everyone else in the family was doing. But it didn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivyjQ4JmrH
feel right for me, you know? I already imagined my future doing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXEWE8agyP
something else. My parents didn't mind my choice of career. They were in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhB4bLbROM
fact quiet supportive and helped me in anyway to build this beauty 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMp9UmwBgn
salon and across some parts of America as well. It's a big thing and a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX97lZu5hM
huge achievement on my part. Am glad for the support I continue to get, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLUx0YXweS
especially from my brother. He is so kind."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YiqKXPcNX
That was some story. And Carly couldn't help961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZhZD3uIiC
but admire her more than ever. Diana was a lady of ambition. She didn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7LQbMLGwv
want to work in the McDonell family and followed her own dreams 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lNajbYMcq
instead. She was one a lot of females would like to look up to as a role961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKULUeULIoH
model.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tHKIg9Fik
What Diana is today, sent Carly thinking of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBGCB1a3t8
what she wanted to do with her own life. Maybe she could be just like 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI54Naihkn
Diana. She has always wanted to do something big, not just try and get 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN93Kl95uaK
enough money so that she could live in luxurious apartments. She had big961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ZXKla7XH
dreams when she was a child, but all that faded away when she realised 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAE01ADZoB
the financial state her family was in.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEjpB8mcIt
But now that she was with the McDonell 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Kr6kzjy3
family, she might try and do something good with her life. Live the life961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bo0jZU6pg
she has always wanted.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAhoREbUSY
"Are you enjoying yourself, Carly?" Diana called out to her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXfgpxDOm6
Carly opened her eyes and saw Diana standing961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pPuQ4keAM
a few feet from her, smiling. She had gone in her office to take an 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8hn9FwRjR
important phone call and left Carly to be attended to.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP1pf9F0d3
"I am, thanks for asking," replied Carly.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrqSPWt11h
"Okay, once you're done, we can go out and have lunch together. What do you think?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9bAzGV2SM
"That would be awesome."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnJiwHsgoB
"Great, I'll be in my office. Make her feel 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmlFqFZDy7
comfortable, okay?" Diana directed that to the manicurist who nodded 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuF6hY13Tw
with pleasure and continued to work on Carly's nails.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid3ixhG1r7
As soon as Diana walked away and Carly was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7PUGuY00F
about to close her eyes again, she noticed from the corner of her eye 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxw1NxMNkj
that her phone was ringing on the small table next to her chair. She had961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLZxGgLrjl
put her phone on silent so that she wouldn't be disturbed. She picked 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OFMre97JZ
up the phone with her free hand and looked at the caller ID.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hso46vnjE
Miranda.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2FSt7J9qS
Carly rolled her eyes. Miranda has been 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWXgOOtiAt
calling her for days now and she wasn't interested in picking up her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5xaiZ3KKz
calls. It was obvious that Miranda wanted her back at the club. So did 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ikFlN2KN
Mr Walters who even left her a bunch of messages this past week. She 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBwpXtM8P8
wasn't going back there. She already promised herself and Leo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOgq7Q5Snk
Carly put her phone aside as a thought soon 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2RyjJ3kkV
came up in her mind. Angel never knew that she was working at the club 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PGbC9mUnA
and she showed up there when it wasn't even during working hours. Who 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6VxYP64d
tipped Angel about her whereabouts that day? It couldn't be Mr Walters 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi7Ovc2hef
and probably not any of the bartenders or dancers at the club because 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5Iyud7mu
she never ever discussed her life with them.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQygwjAKoRQ
Could it be Miranda?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C00XCea8z
Carly couldn't help but feel it was her. She961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuljbBAUIa
didn't even ask Angel who had told her where she was that day. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKBzSR5psT
Everything happened so fast she completely forgot about it till now. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVm1IwhXa4
There was no doubt it was Miranda who had told Angel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUivV0hsbX
And now she was calling Carly after all this961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGsVYeCfRC
time. Miranda isn't her friend, she never was. Why she put Carly in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuX61Y0D8e
such a situation, Carly would never know unless she asks. But she wasn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FnvX3362
in the mood to talk to Miranda. Not when it's was pretty obvious of her961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumNxFIqxMw
betrayal.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoygasF21N
Carly looked at her phone again. Thinking of961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYTTUZraBH
whether to answer it. But she relaxed on her chair. She was not going 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBhcPK2rFm
to let Miranda spoil her mood like she ruined her life some weeks ago.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafQLB3hCuB
"She can go to hell for all I care," Carly thought with a smirk on her face.
