Angel was in the living 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjwzD8E8nA
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mLwRCAjCO
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks2u7Cl3y9
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oNz7NUq20
"How was what?" Angel asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyhkHBakue
"Getting to know Leo?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpw0sZXbSE
Angel could have sworn 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkdt5YvGoj
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFgn8mK8jQ
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTkbAkeMe9
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24aoKym0If
"Really?" Amanda looked a812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHF3CjmY4i
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjkAGWkCIu
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFnAi5ZevF
have offended you?" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZ74wDhmp
"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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mM065L1Vr
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmX9iDqcmc
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP6i3m4Tj5
"Awww, you're so 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0J4hKgF7
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSO2wEFJgQ
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9VwSyqGVY
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOqQCLVRgQ
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtJvmWp4YS
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwfXxmgA3x
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8n5t6deku
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXB2hgVsKx
Amanda gave Angel the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSVdVZ7hmg
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWII9OFOr0o
to deal with writing. It suits you."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGiFSObIAz
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTqIiqxpSk
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuQGsyWveh
"What is it?" Angel asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WQmjDGL7b
"You seem to be one 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PADn6wt3d
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RsMoOIzqO
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFcH7z0vQG
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdHkKB0SeL
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2XeWhf4DB
"What?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHpjTlnr15
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LT0Vr2oQh
Leo who had just come in812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1p3xUvrr7
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXVwj577Vv
just at the entrance of the living room.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77XovoBlDI
"What did you just say 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQk4Yb8WKG
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV0JwAt6q1
the two women on the wheelchairs.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epypIpoe9
Amanda turned her 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa8h05GMiT
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBsJZezOIN
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRePy9Atnf
themselves."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18LwqS70zf
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgUPkn4Yhh
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ84oR9Do3F
Leo couldn't believe 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwZq2F8z2I
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CquMaC3qi
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5RjMrbu6T
"Haven't you thought 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33u247MQva
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiy6seVUK2
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIiaCkxSlb
job of her own?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2aob6fU3s
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIJV38Ppjn
"You deserve better, my 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeL9qPCt00
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVpNHZBB1d
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwdOCIpNCs
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPBDK8wrHm
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKdmpsG6Hg
"What makes you so sure?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka0kR3m9Ym
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrWKmbIVx3
"Mum won't though."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkyoOYgmJF
"Does she run the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNA3pXJm2G
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mp00IRnvX
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0uEmn82mf
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PSHtYnSzS
Leo knew his grandmother812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZN52K9QU
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPbLRB5J1s
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAWPNtZiRB
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCYgGNLpAx
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzyG0hcXwd
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFdaQ7Lm6M
"Don't say any of this 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFYCG9UB0P
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaSzcfNfq3
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UsXfz9hiv
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jh4u9Kwys
have to convince her a little more than I have to."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbYYw0EZ80
Angel gulped. It felt 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0tOwXX4ps
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv5XpSQSOw
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BNXlplBa6
Leo made his way out of 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Q5sDavYq
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3wY1fj44Y
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L5cRBY3Z1
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7W4nciR4g
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ZHQZcbiE
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHns6ZIEM3y
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbLj6MXKmo
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBzO10uv0E
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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKa7xmanag
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lyy5tzez1
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrmnpqoWiQ
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpis0Og54EO
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYPDTkTXqb
"I'm talking about Kim."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapVmQfx7oh
Angel didn't know if it 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCZnS2DLx
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY6dTLetrl
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwBfJGDXy
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTuz4xEv4O
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XPyvmSfMD
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSMxvZk1RY
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGIBilbHra
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKxGOHlwZk
certain things?812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZ1F5hfrk
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVxDwvlZa
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uu45fzZf6
Angel felt like covering812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9s0wzVV77
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J6q1MNAco
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhaRCFRDrs
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08drjqIHeE
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ78xyuU1Rg
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHo2xH6Rg
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokwuqV6Bfb
Angel felt her heart 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkjGHShm3D
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJaYRjlqdG
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SCjNYM3V
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kRlu3Ne1F
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNbkWt8MyI
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi1hBVnAbO
and invited her to the wedding.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZNDel13LP
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV7jUHTwIx
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJLZ3LaVk6
Angel looked at Amanda 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLGwemahLR
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIALj0D914
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAPf18P0LF
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hc9IBAzs8
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtijnojltkx
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj634VFGPl
saw Leo.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvDXIXJ1y
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHLJstxyy2
"Nothing, dear," said 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dQkQ9V19X
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5XLfeo3JJ
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtkN1mkXft
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb080ojxoDa
"Have a nice day."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCfTBhTIMI
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi6mHcIlnu
Leo nodded his head in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXsTVZ6Ws8
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjC4VgSdLv
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg30Ep7qXf8
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4mayAODDQ
through the front door.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ROHtS0a7
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMMq5P8cqn
"You're unbelievable," 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XgFTvp5E
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGMPI1eOl
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30KqGd0mwy
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AL2QEDa1i
"I'm sorry for that, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOSqCiBt9s
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd9lzbdP3E
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ImxrZhiH
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpkBNJuVNN
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeOg6H59jz
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcR6CgU5oT
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJd8ocNcxb
Angel slowly followed 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCluzo8pFIC
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIHa7rPpCV
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURBrO9tMgz
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjXmgikhp
must have felt awful.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqs6kbu9Yn
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXG9qs3hHS
***812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3BqqLhrXk
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg74xpkYvo
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyWpz1vRqb
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeWNETXCqp
He812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm2mcWyhV7
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FoKGgV2tu
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxxq5JpUUE
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS4WbKfKNQ
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg58hU20Ze
Since812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlyrHw3t0W
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHHS4QDatE
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kVN2fr1r3
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41VnrSF77j
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvqRqIvmPc
Who812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgLcr3hYc
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEhIiFFe32
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7snjnhp54
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjWaGniCXG
He812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXfAlvkpfQ
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYbMFizuy
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDtdQO0fBW
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSrGTo3mT0
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgelACgxDA
"You've someone here to see you."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zwVwMZ4QK
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDirX0bvQX
"It's Trina."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIkJTd7yoM
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANNuGD75k6
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC42lE4aMt
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ABFjagOMs
called off.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZyuF54N6A
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLMpZHJcV
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpJTInVSlr
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4yPC6sgdL
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnzEyn2FJP
Trina812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc6tdROAbx
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhaG08AHTL
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pktUQ3qT9
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhPttTg5A9
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH5W6HnO7a
fall out sometimes but still get back together.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YR4XlJs0t
Now812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KRR8WE5JH
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG0Az4TdEX
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dKHdMpVRy
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Yf4Jruky
weren't friends.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39UhgXxCJJ
While812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduzulrWesC
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdtu8tmJDa
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pkPUzCBEb
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZTWxDXOiw
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7naugJQFdb
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QxYzJBdY5
One812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1AUtWTqV4
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ6zOiJsqc
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNnN81932e
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsOEtnRIyq
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBXh0vRYCQ
one.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFmFlu6z4
Not until he met Angel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuo2Xcw9n9
Trina812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8kXYxqBbu
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Bmy7bFWa
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjLKv2SDAY
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Do0W03OPv
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1tbcAuQy
Trina812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzonFYVHt7
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HBwXpqO65
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ3tMPyAA0
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWOUikJDia
beautiful.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIZSdYZnaF
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr9bGhJ2iX
"Then812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa78Gh5EJP
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTEae8rUTT
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj2MmuiFRU
side to try and work things out."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgYcHwkwm
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDuwl0NhjV
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvr3xkCi1e
"Ya, me too."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMDOuEPXMB
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LCpSjaJ2
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nY1ZwzCtA
"Do you know something, Eric?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirfPwDhVow
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBbnbNtIcj
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEHCzHJoiC
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz57CUHvTWP
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFmJ64xcBC
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlUR7gJbjF
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LQPSz45Bv
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqLBCqaB8b
eyes with a corky smile on his face.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC76LOTGqO
"Please,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhxBWmIMt7
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tXctDEh0U
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQcwSgKCf
ask him?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxwjnYiyMu
Trina812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UPH6QPzKf
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEDJNueeG8
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yPsmeXvLx
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuIIsubGaZ
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHyi8qVnKG
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMDSNlCgTu
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkLCpvQvIX
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfekWzOTlU
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84dAaYujKj
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0gE7uu7sl
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCCQpJBhuc
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfPWcQwNAR
to say next.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShSgtJmFAo
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDan9mfJV7
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNqJeI7aux
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstGlmjo7X2
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY2rh4NPH4
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhaORhHPY3
"She's812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn9Lv3qE2S
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXks4DplcH
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU71zIrBdwC
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8duCbJ9sz
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsfoV4hLhc
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhGIMvUjG
anymore.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMMzUfEgv5
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOyjXWxX7o
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLKlsO5bY
Trina812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU24IVZKUl
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGRclK1ZU5
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXA476hqX
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv7B5S6npC
massage him.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTYsVb1Kj2
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV23toM15TP
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmy8ZKI0rR
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZChsZ5yVlG
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgOrnBWzbg
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bd2VyCBmb
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn1PJod2iG
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWkCPOluVF
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC4DKEpPTG
He812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmxL2WVcUf
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLNzfBL3w
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vcanI0eCE
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1SFxiTMzi
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBoccA6eOY
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVU4ES3xm3
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBrcRhXsbX
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi51F1Clotc
"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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3iJlak4d
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwLQdWS7UR
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD0sWwMwVf
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2fdvIjx3
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA624iFQrME
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvit8Tug1C1
"Oh,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ujY1KCMmz
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSeRDkHXC4
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83B68zrafl
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFDouBAipE
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIGvph409M
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8y4bjlbpx
Trina812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tlh6TzdcL
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeRuAkgHKa
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M1Xken30j
Leo812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclM3FFBIgO
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLrNHfCPHQ
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8xcy5qV75
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVrHDirBY
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2l8X4vDjC
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge4N2WV44v
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtDsZvaokU
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfN9mNggC
"I was just leaving," said Trina.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2aRCg7HMn
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMHY2YTZck
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQnTlXC5sj
With812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNBBVnYuN
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxylmZoCy6
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeauIJIuLzD
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Hm4mBaBj
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRu1ChIQlI
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoWDapQviJ
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbco4ggCCs8
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoxkehgpkK
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJTcSHh43
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIRpFYugLA
"Well, you would someday."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08XB3tY4cZ
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOMvbOqZds
"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?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCJnN8AHm6
"That would be fine by me."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqTCjC8FRp
"Oh,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fY4GNxbry
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8CpZynz6
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1clMvYS0v
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nDpe8RQ0b
you broke things off with her."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYnOaHmrZ
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCalCuFv7bb
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskbgn37H9c
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1yLn9GX2N
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHnLb1VEyw
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDAwrzejKk
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz1MuqgGPt
Leo812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq05pD4XyI
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbInVZjdGxZ
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BWusZ3jtH
her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiF61Cg1CT
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQnbEhfK49
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCGtb6UHx1
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB32T3GP5K
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMaQC7uSZm
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoafG9bnyI
thinking about Angel just now."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW6qLBSIu2
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEHzTgIei3
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHGkob5sbS
Leo812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pw0NyhE4m
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuPwyPYWIq
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWa4PbZHH
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChgqYCP71D
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUwVG8Amnz
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUYPz4XSR
"Because,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KzVwovpaX
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLTPOjRQQw
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDgp1WeYSU
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQGar89BhU
in a sense of emergency to release it."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDbuzRvDow
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IK97G3n1X
"Of812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EP5i5Flf
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbBk6Ywwq
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIBEh4LmC2
darling, Angel."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ohXMTk5d6
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AzC3Ko7d7
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhuPtE9lH
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rcKzECgN0
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUW96sTsDs
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWDpwjpwaN
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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqHhx7ygP4
"Grandma812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPjE6KJAtE
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjPpEqR81R
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpfa583AYV
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2tUI8HVBp
Leo812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxavPhC7NB
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpmQ7HRHSF
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeC6SHIn1d
word to anyone.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfBcGwtMVS
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi01gLPORc
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XCLImnS3R
"Yep,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A9EaeJyWI
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgGY5qodwD
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaL2oSNgjM
"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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWzuAKFhU7
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TQDLbjhO8
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AX9U2cruR
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi41Gl3llMp
Eric812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtSyu8vpM
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3o8cFdlJ0
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUV5lRgR1B
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKHyFgZXCm
Leo812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLJlLCV0Cw
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJV4z0z00S
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVz36RAIT
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiRUFnsPDj
He812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mqeswPVT4
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSViDZlPq4O
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kD9PwDQmj
desk that he had to look at today.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mBG3suv9O
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTNrQHGcuN
Leo812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UR2pAHvZ
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRnVNf724Q
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrmi12xUfN
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
