Angel was in the living 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofJsYOidBB
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6m7V4ZRyB
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWuz0uUurK
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlfjWXxble
"How was what?" Angel asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREWTTQaXg7
"Getting to know Leo?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnOPdbxr2S
Angel could have sworn 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImeeiWszh
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW42cgQKpF
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqmprcJTVo
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtKrSmFCVB
"Really?" Amanda looked a1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UUg6HVhTT
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiooOYdlb9
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Ip7eXxLu
have offended you?" 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8daYxJ8F6
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x2LyuKI61
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ35kVDPMo
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa2Mr4lR1n
"Awww, you're so 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNOOUsFghC
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopzd4oJf0F
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahNvI7co1M
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdwyYOCPPN
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9vqdSqYLW
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP7TpZwMY1
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHsDzVIpto
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBBqw1UiqB
Amanda gave Angel the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM9LQ4NdCR
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FC6iDQbIe
to deal with writing. It suits you."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfuvVv3pn8
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIVGb7vYoV
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRfoOZGWw8
"What is it?" Angel asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQFtTaRDFS
"You seem to be one 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjzY54eM9d
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftTk7OgUZp
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFxl7T6Yrv
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB9DfmxDp3
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbvCbSaX7z
"What?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9azQnAXpxV
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhiRQgJA6e
Leo who had just come in1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD7b3JWPsr
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOqqxekjRN
just at the entrance of the living room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb2HzEKO6Y
"What did you just say 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADhWa9ZvvT
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Z84avX5H
the two women on the wheelchairs.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcqYzh46Ei
Amanda turned her 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK8uPZ5vS1
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8CAspxAaB
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vu7piFprc
themselves."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wxmxmlul
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp9KlT7tmb
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJ1C0sT94
Leo couldn't believe 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlW36tw9hq
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NJOWhrTMb
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFFtYs5Hby
"Haven't you thought 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0LtOvhUZ
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9LdMkebr3
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2sNh0rlWY
job of her own?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiqx1qN2ZA
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DQ1f1NW3k
"You deserve better, my 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC9fBt7asp
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEroM34TEK
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI36vOeFQ2
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTwBQrPdad
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQkydTORjo
"What makes you so sure?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYQaPvmBKA
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSa4iLQwgt
"Mum won't though."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmTwvwikwH
"Does she run the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6kQOFL8QA
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBBdsbqPuD
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizL1sECb6z
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5BECW4o9Z
Leo knew his grandmother1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVImYvPwQc
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2d6ocTqJY
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkjNNAn7hu
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJTlnvGdr
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ3Kee2VaH
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnMtHdE4yY
"Don't say any of this 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhtYI99Fuh
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPIhvmymhO
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEwGRPlrX6
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmraGHdr0c
have to convince her a little more than I have to."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlprdOtxoJ9
Angel gulped. It felt 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwxCSuBJ4m
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xx3RLZUzw
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRlkMjm87S
Leo made his way out of 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAaNNM2i0O
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfBnx2slAj
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmFewamJm0
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibvOXvdeOy
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMiG2hRvX
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtLP6xJWyz
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV8NCrz0nE
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscgXy0IjeP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW7nzUjpzH
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QQvFMYqKo
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkly664Mu9d
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk457aPcp4a
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWLzV634B0
"I'm talking about Kim."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfbs8Zf4Rs
Angel didn't know if it 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr2Z1z0zW3
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkldRVBGmj2
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOnmhsq3Ea
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUKeipAyNg
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuPAeQiEW
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNsJPqKfRd
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH4VNaZq8C
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOQV0DXMUc
certain things?1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKp2DlFCvJ
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWGcbkZGeQ
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUyG2ynKIw
Angel felt like covering1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3oNEnWPxc
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qDJRmsgbN
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhoETtrG1X
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8jzSr4Kmc
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigIF1RGHwR
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphjW5ew5mb
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwNUgUojxu
Angel felt her heart 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rWRMj71nk
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ObPwzLlvI
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P1bNie9fJ
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dgUPd3EEY
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDICLTMXsW
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9cnBIkTcd
and invited her to the wedding.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOeswKEdEy
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJD4UlVnOF
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1px15Gedp
Angel looked at Amanda 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIa5Fm8lpJ
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlPaqeFhqk
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNWEDJUrP7
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTWqHx3Y6e
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sa8V6qrvD
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZAJHfCor
saw Leo.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUmaxlt7Uc
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIY3v1MgxS
"Nothing, dear," said 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1yWRYbPdE
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnAQdZwDld
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV4ljspLZ6
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwA6xYEFj2
"Have a nice day."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEacXfXhCY
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhhf5aoZJ
Leo nodded his head in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXDSJ2d4CA
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83tqQ9YX0e
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDmits9RQc
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHuycF7MPV
through the front door.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh8YigCW3M
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA0a5s4RPX
"You're unbelievable," 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb2OAATVAm
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q8SEu5REV
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xmbkzVFuR
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWULYQoBfa
"I'm sorry for that, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAWwcjpgjk
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRamtS7Vyb
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFBRB6Uxi
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFuDQKW6XJ
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhr1vGOx5W
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9asKkm6A
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarERJdgUp5
Angel slowly followed 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoQqc7b763
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBoA4GnexZ
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6d6weekrv
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWj9uXQ55l
must have felt awful.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlcAN8rA3H
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxaiERHC77
***1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SIgnvy1lO
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6TNZhCLKf
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYFT7eATcB
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5zX5S5Fh3
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDpazrOnZd
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Mjp7zdh5
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIerinw3okT
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRV4hYe6gx
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOOmcZ9nXC
Since1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K3NcmBxGd
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Y4N38H4c
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMWQkbvB7I
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgXfoB58Jm
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9AZImgTbK
Who1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnrpMG8tyc
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR3nBU14Ld
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjh8ffGXQ3
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPNSwokURd
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVLnm4WuEy
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdB3b9ePPH
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXfWzW64d1
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxHEtvqpqA
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N6DBblrUz
"You've someone here to see you."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fGBUGI3c0
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRTLqfnZKE
"It's Trina."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOGvQDKtwc
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DcMBbqg81
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllY1ZQhssf
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9NhX5z5Lv
called off.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0C6OvS6A
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwhVUtjRCt
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7v7YjMs3q
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaJKEai04d
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffldHmWDUN
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ftKQh0Bey
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhM3c5EObj
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8GBzzUuDD
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmq8Po1mVt
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqMxQHQ18
fall out sometimes but still get back together.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5asTxVSbNy
Now1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM4rdbeXDy
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAehOPPlh4
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJcfxrnqCX
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6FhPCUEUK
weren't friends.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bj9FSuvgO
While1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPSvOO03qQ
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHey15XIC5b
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmtcbazfzH
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdUycizoZz
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDedkHUSqT
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxXEpC1bXZ
One1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPeZJ6saFk
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGXIGoHVfE
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOKAiJD79h
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbpDfid0gy
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sc6vjlV8E
one.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLgs7inCGB
Not until he met Angel.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEck24BdVy8
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeDmOA5tqH
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArqTtsprji
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH51yVpBGSJ
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CylYU39Vk
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3tVCFqrJ
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ejVBjagPF
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqIPjgR5km
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmiqwPMJ4W
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12X6xIwN1b
beautiful.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciYFdlN6AD
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FeYhdg3gw
"Then1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNAZqIvF6c
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNzYvAErxv
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctW2AvdAhJ
side to try and work things out."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXmaWp83DZ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxdCD0FzQJ
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSmixBDITf
"Ya, me too."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIUseZIpHs
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXu13YfsJH
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCYsuIrEs
"Do you know something, Eric?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkyuol4SHX
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyPibd9NII
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuEwuePmOo
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUoSSG5Olr
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rHB29F22Q
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD4aIulkqy
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpukjhYx7i
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6RRfMTD2q
eyes with a corky smile on his face.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ynfyK1uX
"Please,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa47y1ITJMf
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhEYuNqv22
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHYXJCHcr1
ask him?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJdhXgWP0h
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRyA054ABj
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIPWZ6Ts4L
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lgBmtCqcF
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4A1nwNiT0
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgGb1gjDZ9
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3TZFJU1yD
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuFFwO2pb2
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSeh3wtkgT
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXCz0LWcBY
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0wu2ufuns
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6ZQKjj9f
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ccqckt3nX
to say next.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPVFapO2ZS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQsnJlm1pD
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V2M2DE9Lo
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHiaU0y7n
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0tLi2f1GR
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Eq6yxHHa
"She's1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c2pEGzrXS
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG84K52ZPej
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45x8JTYm6f
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEOqFQJKUo
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby89ogoswx
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xFjgBfUZC
anymore.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGCmWgqQtQ
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Q3tthAWv
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk3Z6QBi2B
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJY5Du5zH
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YyoPDEeXr
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fyV7XJ5yZ
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF28cLAXIC
massage him.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0whchsE9MC
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZOkHXWHNh
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TOz1lLGvE
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9rIxK3bKa
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53RGU6r7Re
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjVsyOWSkl
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwDQaJuyfU
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkZVKbyIpd
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt92vgxaql
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIyvcEMhJw
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJlr09mUlF
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaviK5Novog
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojhD2XzXT6
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe1otYt3Ux
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nJvfmLPRw
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Q9BsVG5Y
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6dFJEKrRU
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtQz0K7LVu
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Fd9RLswn
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqNeMzK76k
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhMUDxR4fA
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6yiR1yLn6
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgnW7QmLtl
"Oh,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbe9PzKWsA
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHjl9v2FKH
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTw2S61Whx
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLBcmWfLZ7
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mJ0mNkH1T
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTJ56lqTqh
Trina1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjmJAHUZod
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwUs7A7o2p
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhST5qGCGsq
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3rfrA20CN
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLrExBKRDa
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D6OINs4QP
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcOeCf6FZA
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenCQAuz1jK
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfqqBzsFRq
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59HEwW7vv2
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe6MFfNeOm
"I was just leaving," said Trina.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxiWSVOCit
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGic1HrsiF
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XYuUnMPTN
With1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7523cTHUJy
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPkx30KJ2u
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdENapxX0nf
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8n8zwQ8V3
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowb9Mnz7SW
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpVcMm25lC
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Rz0BX2HV
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcStyb2yOiI
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvV5yjj7lK
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiF0n849QH
"Well, you would someday."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMkLEi64g
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx0B9dsxer
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrlJq2hwL3
"That would be fine by me."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSRXqHOPDl
"Oh,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s0cCZIltW
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxtKu7kFoY
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3X3k6LCfJ
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdLXoBcDAP
you broke things off with her."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo0BPErUMV
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFyhnhPNC7
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS4myH0ylv
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv76N6bPug
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNw3hYCJ2f
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSk632N7k2
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwvSvoF3Gr
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G337WCV0G
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMeoFDi9Zf
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4quEQijAmI
her.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiav6N0M97f
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa0C2c6JAe
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK252MFa5RI
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0pSZiV3iL
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrUvfGc5d0
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyVfkVFxGH
thinking about Angel just now."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl90KlppXY
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBuHPKfuzh
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wN8M2IW1n
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxguKnqLNRS
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXOaSzAjkr
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8STjPtDFS
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQmMOfhZX
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mIF1X2t12
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXJW3xXGaz
"Because,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10CGJ22Akq
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKYQrUmk45
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunUBlfuihR
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7vsGVr2ZD
in a sense of emergency to release it."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyaQS7AcF
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJjVO2OaT
"Of1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyPi1TdPH4
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsHuBt5Rf5
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXOtc9FRnT
darling, Angel."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwXeG4syrF
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk0JXyIeZs
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrWwdbmvIl
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLqkk73k73
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzeCMWAsDW
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59mOxMOc6b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN7ojzXmlX
"Grandma1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEJSGJYHw9
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VJPJEPZHf
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0F2Q1bhth
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP97hARja2
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwatXIToJv
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATwIuIupOy
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb2AtvWxRt
word to anyone.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6tO19yPo5
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1hBed9hDs
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQxQP7Iao
"Yep,1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGdakQ0b17
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsaLQ1ytH2
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSX5ySkBhJ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS4hk2wbLg
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrSzpFDAo9
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYWLIPFmf
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiDdK2Rcyn
Eric1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTLLzgb6OB
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6eP24K7GT
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbpu5Dz5I6
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WzxhSa9kY
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMUUDggV6H
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8M1jWWu2Z
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZMMdkUXz
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTwAHFOngM
He1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89WnAnMjP5
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGm0u9G7fy
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzSxbHgSB2
desk that he had to look at today.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcwV1ucYLd
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1PmUF73UP
Leo1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrleZEzR8sC
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yiPpbtPeD
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.1279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjN8tegdpu
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
