Angel was in the living 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQalgXNYNl
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji8t9oFgo0
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZav88eiiSN
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHatAltS6l
"How was what?" Angel asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTYUGAiV8L
"Getting to know Leo?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWuqqtOuHz
Angel could have sworn 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzolQogXT6
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrivYDvIjq
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza7Odwamsu
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYvDaAXNz
"Really?" Amanda looked a1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQhAbBwIvs
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuSq7zPmxe
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvQB3soXmz
have offended you?" 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBKQe5Zbs7
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNm4sUDiA7
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv6Um2MUSN
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRLe3YVc5w
"Awww, you're so 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJDi7phZCV
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq8yZr9kfU
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ638zRXc7YG
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOoT0J57GA
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLo8yE4YE2
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTJgVZWMA
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswecJWztYL
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6x3PpOfm
Amanda gave Angel the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmEauCXWwV
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K4Ma7dJX1
to deal with writing. It suits you."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sMSGHLZSg
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP632RvBBm
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ7Ov1wA5I
"What is it?" Angel asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSNXGnv3Lv
"You seem to be one 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59klPZetA
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSadiOyEF1
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtARuPcgFx
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lIXRtdxdE
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x0Gy15hzL
"What?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcBbfzIsuf
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyoRRBnLdM
Leo who had just come in1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JeG9t7TQ
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP6iDC2sgj
just at the entrance of the living room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnvFOhtVtE
"What did you just say 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaYUupeeBh
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaP8COvscF
the two women on the wheelchairs.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2PxnO91pT
Amanda turned her 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK9C2RqeX0
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6qIt4fY5A
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi4ZXIqHta
themselves."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5wAK9wEh0
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCK21S3aOz
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ocOmnSpS
Leo couldn't believe 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR8U1zrYgQ
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC73Z6ceGW
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiI0mF6WBJ
"Haven't you thought 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiT4jLRsIz
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuya34T2bhv
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuB9dOop2m
job of her own?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenG5IaBeh7
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxGi6oGZDC
"You deserve better, my 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlagQORvfH
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOEmFlbx0v
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnlt7XvDy6
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfOGUJSOwg
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox2EyWEcf1
"What makes you so sure?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO6BOXL5Os
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ2u38nvor
"Mum won't though."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptl3HCuG40
"Does she run the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlzjARIBHd
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tOzAruxp6
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4jMmOLXsF
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQPJUaOi71
Leo knew his grandmother1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOZkmrNx6j
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4wGLnkCkn
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwA4s55IDM
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ykyzVegxF
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqjNx4dG39
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLQtRrucmO
"Don't say any of this 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXybu5WC6W
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv7iqOVxPy
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMs0IXVagb
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5m5ygxnXi
have to convince her a little more than I have to."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZhnuv7LsC
Angel gulped. It felt 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlqbLptsxj
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx0laQoB4o
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNB9xsDvzC
Leo made his way out of 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJwFMsB93Q
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5x0XD8ln3
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk09CUv4Tn
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a6PxT7T3R
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfS5ToMZw8
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpic3MQTBff
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPp0fC4PXZ
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGgB8FBson
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxS2CZu1Pi
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6S52H15Jx
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMDuTllocq
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs9yIjVn7o
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqplfsPtdvE
"I'm talking about Kim."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVAS54U7bv
Angel didn't know if it 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLERbFk1874
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSk7YWMQ98
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxe3Cp7553
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOhtvf8g8O
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLspipLwW9
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUPc9rj1Jc
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPhrNdnIwY
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAI5V6XRZo
certain things?1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiOZkqbGTZ
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUvTgZGL6
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkNVzv8p4r
Angel felt like covering1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMet1tUqlWi
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMDKOpJUXz
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GfWqICOct
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIcJeWDEjw
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f2MBiLICj
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrjDH3lGB1
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoLvYIT9Yv
Angel felt her heart 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHKZiAvMq
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oYT2JhkLG
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6ossCaeKM
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MOUByniPx
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXDabbhNn5
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXKDUQWSff
and invited her to the wedding.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqiYQy7ITo
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwYWsxZT52
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQTpzoqd8P
Angel looked at Amanda 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rgu1J03fG
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jjCBGlXrx
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl217EwZcxu
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiv1c3HIhd
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI6OomaoUl
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmQNWNCp0
saw Leo.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtYa3cZCM
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc7N5jXCPY
"Nothing, dear," said 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjagKKYYKNE
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0S4QVOLR9
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZLpOcw77X
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJIUCdURdS
"Have a nice day."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaFcYtuJ0P
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzRukf8aqd
Leo nodded his head in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwTe7Zcn95
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYQXhIRHnP
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AVMTCyLeb
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiQW6dENRC
through the front door.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglR488szhT
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWItbmkKsMe
"You're unbelievable," 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPIT4LxbJF
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTpEdAlYjH
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIdfVmp3Ec
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4CVY6o6Lp
"I'm sorry for that, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHYcDMSXX
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfhAtmWbiF
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwSsHY7DeX
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ1PEj4u35
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4MmzW4U4
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3AXWOm3EL
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bOQd5zJWO
Angel slowly followed 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmas6uUYj
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbCgHVPNUi
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLnl3zuGv1
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbFIVKeONv
must have felt awful.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL3loKmeTr
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVSG5v692A
***1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8asFuHuj0z
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KPTv7kLQE
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn5QsIXFFP
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pghgqfwU7
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2dKsQPrRO
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY4046AB4d
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUCpb7vyEl
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4If08qaArT
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUqnUmHetY
Since1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskWHrzCs11
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmERfQPpdLp
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxS1JSzdm
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77AzTpvYVT
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpSBJT1e4
Who1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL4UL3B5PE
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP5VRqzRcg
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK8lFR3BcV
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP9cNduiLQ
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmgn6ysVjp
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5fLodyNGi
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoRDs6Q0WU
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULtJDbgM9B
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS65tqNA9p
"You've someone here to see you."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJRdbMj79W
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUlCpPR2Yr
"It's Trina."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3FFSJnr8d
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtdaYzLdXv
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi59qFulPIC
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGymxG9vFx
called off.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna0mZz9dyK
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerzw8XpxU9
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqxVRH2oM8
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFPduIKqJy
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNqhBp0FVz
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQORTyqRQK
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjSFnoXTJV
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVpSq6OaR
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7qHcXFSa
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGw3u1eCpq
fall out sometimes but still get back together.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCi9wcAjx
Now1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6CyK5Sz4C
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNEOLG62XU
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhdiLiP1Tu
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9mQx3sXa
weren't friends.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYghOReJRv2
While1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumUWBRmrUv
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyH7ijtFjs
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vFD6uEnw
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrINxiJ3mZO
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbKL5Nf96h
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoVBRzxoY2
One1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLwQ8OvWjL
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSwgiNiG1t
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJuKSjIXOA
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTH3XKjxw2
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTnEOBgGjg
one.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWVeTf6yu7
Not until he met Angel.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEhu8d4EsG
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq2rDIDStd
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA81xIIyyt
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUbLL8xwzb
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAaddhppZ9
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRq4jxdFlW
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNJEDhrDIA
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq9sSdXQAT
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugs0TNLVlp
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyerUD2F9L
beautiful.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa0wjGLwL5
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLx77tELsx
"Then1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlkHX3dZY
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHBuGe1kiu
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVARNRcbbOX
side to try and work things out."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbML3L2Hp8
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeSP0gq990
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO748xvDiG
"Ya, me too."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZcGyfO4NR
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwDFQ7ZNjH
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a2bassNfT
"Do you know something, Eric?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQqYDPbzVZ
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7d2LcALIw
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TKhMU68os
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaVeOWabEU
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdPjJ5aPby
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOfwDVp4Qi
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgIcPGrqrN
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrRGv4tFoV
eyes with a corky smile on his face.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdCFLukYSS
"Please,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25nMmWV9rH
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdc2AtI4LI
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QaaOqpJ8Q
ask him?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupHwGk1rnF
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaojfEXi537
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1CwcnjxY
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccVDzdDK7G
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSOK3xDCRm
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeP6F1A7PI
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ228ASH9lq6
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrPimxWcqY
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6axBQYQww
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt15RvcXVP6
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EQGzffksa
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKWsILq6l
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoUJLp4vKO
to say next.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW6lJJCAV9
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3NN9bCwmy
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3naqfN0wG
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXFNqWYjoA
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhHwRthaLU
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O75X1i3jC
"She's1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXw2PNo8P0
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yMXAWMr7m
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTXFzOzJTE
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJawcSgWec
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv6BygEywP
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz8d2Jr2b7
anymore.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSXhNISXuY
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUqGQUVbWe
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtP7juSXCB
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5t5s5Mip9
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrTwTzr2EM
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bIGHznj01
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lHp6tDZdW
massage him.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMD7BFxmyN
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT9ZgaLfgM
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwRAq6H6lq
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPDsmP7ATA
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3300zSRiw
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMljkKq2Te
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnBtLHgoIn
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpZXhE9tpU
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfE9PdKc1z
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmI6XZtj3Y
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwvbBjDya0
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWIU6KIC1L
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoeYnrZ4M9
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAYeYAGzcP
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWnB7IH6S2
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBaevPQ1nu
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGMXrYcQX
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLxwM0ZlQg
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzjLpAAOx
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk9TZPlXh7
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXuUqzqXER
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA63EH7f2sU
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7uEHeuYkD
"Oh,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOxn3RtZcU
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGopKsQMpg5
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZDHhq25DR
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyRgWdkYv
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6f3YuoT6b
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpDBCtmoG6
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjAMra1WNC
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaTJNSYyoe
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFH6L38pjl
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sJmwGTtLa
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTolRugGTs5
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBoK3RFzdR
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiFR8zRdPd
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZTjvFh2a4
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKvtyHPGzX
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQkfZdSj6
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ1un4zcE6
"I was just leaving," said Trina.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn5zYhr0bO
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPAfLWx2AW
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ycVSV4evt
With1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYwfW2zBNz
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04El3zVrnm
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiTSqJRzKP
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeI3BLF1my
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzAoUjb0tU
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisWnUsfpg4
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm4nWz1MM2
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ryXxNUe1
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdV2SpCirm
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2LLZJcG1u
"Well, you would someday."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLhPPxCKCf
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMjm72S9i0
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE6shDIznZ
"That would be fine by me."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQVxWWXIBs
"Oh,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QosXzkArX
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqiYgXOAOS
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKLShORa6T
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEYYlWH8OV
you broke things off with her."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAYytUfrtH
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vx8dyyIRo
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ9TcZmjpc
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dbZvUDSAH
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBwSdyzSNa
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLpoJyRpH2
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEXbf9unS9
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2lev3qCjx
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aufz3NRAL
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpVq3gto5s
her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1KZVLDIJJ
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwxEpoZDo
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHH2Tyzlfw
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpQIbkTeOZ
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7JwIuLTCw
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6748nJ8Kv
thinking about Angel just now."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ALFGZp430
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NWb6eFAeP
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunuMWGx7sn
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXN2b1fnZR
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcCPPnr1At
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxPysW43LY
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75IhHPYezt
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCYUwDHaGD
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln5IjoO1wX
"Because,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ZRx4biuv
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc0XUEeM8C
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uKiH0kYDf
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIRhHNRMZa
in a sense of emergency to release it."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyulgOaqv6
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSft26Uyeb
"Of1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25YlmM0KT7
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CXf3yCQ3m
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Spc0vwjG
darling, Angel."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaQZ8jjTyV
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRuSarFZ6Q
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1tvS5FqO
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeeRX1VDq1
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxCTUD00ET
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCAz9hmVKz
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f9X2nqqet
"Grandma1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBR9ruPGjq
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWd26u24ks
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfkbOYf1t
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6moS7WJKhM
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGStFGKDewc
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYv6cX8vhh
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMrTmHpppf
word to anyone.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oPmGtPZzi
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gnkejkrq
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPjJnKN52h
"Yep,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wSUDhreYM
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxxnov2417
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KzXJXxOfx
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9w0mqDma
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WsdvRTCKZ
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eyD2bMPrU
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZBY2ZxsW
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4iw81adih
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA5Mbz122Q
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB2FOdC5it
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lJkEqxyg2
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF6KaSYnYo
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLu6vkYak5
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxD6FvM4Eu
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6QXLt91lK
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZljxnIFRd
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3EVm3ZblF
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7gg6snMnY
desk that he had to look at today.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ0LjaZy4S
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡray2tHxfv3
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNXhp9ABbI
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVS5NKOP4O
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDUHyzpo8Y
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
