Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0WSiC60ds

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI3olRpGyp
She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4K5jBfQLT

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx24UOehwVO

Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEF2WJII8z

Carly nodded her head, got hold of the straps of her backpack on her laps, and opened the door. She stepped out, swung the bag round her shoulder and closed the door behind her.

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWp623HMkn

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2llozhqeq

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben. They actually attended the same university and apparently found themselves working for the same editing company. A smile appeared across his long face as he approached Angel and Tiffany.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmlrYsy6VR

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fBVcSWVSd
Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother. His shiny brown hair was also smartly combed, so it was difficult not to call him so.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxhUMrUq1F

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSyKrGBygB

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYpLRe5IdT

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIxcCJEYNx

"Of course, Mr. Dean," Valerie stood up from her seat and made her way towards the door, passing Angel. Angel thought she had seen Valerie smile. She wondered what that's about.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw4fnNPg5x

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAeAFNqoT0

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the  complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbhlp0rJiF

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8y2OxpIFd

Bill got in the driver's seat while Leo went round the car to get in from the other side.

Angel went on to stare out the window, looking at the buildings along the road. She was deep in thought, thinking of her friends and the editing firm.

Before Leo could say something back, his phone in the pocket of his trousers started to ring. He wondered who could be calling him as he retrieved his phone. He looked at the screen. It's Eric.

Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0MAYdW1nm

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGnUa4B7lv
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1TwXwSZ5U

Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafYpbVMZYH

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0jEQAY3m6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ix8nK2NOb
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq8bB06Nyp
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4rrBPcsYR

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLga1zYh8Nh
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zjfD92dfN

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopyJEEJgmZ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwCfGbfXJ5
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYBPROiHUx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyp5naS59C
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBDW77dqBx
The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwuuk7Ehfg

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEmOSrx64U
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGRAGxGBB
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NkCyIc9a5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj5PCa3Y5J
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UjWt6Ovi8

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JhXM6aRHE
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlajolfGlA0
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9PueiX50R
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz203DJLED

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlzCkGKGFy
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7GnMsLdiI
"Let's go, Leo," Angel told him as she quickly rushed out of the car.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAmuXZ7cGL
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBMy5UP9Yz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4c8o7uLU6
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsVOaM0Mh9
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit9hF67P5E
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM75fB8uXiU
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa0lBVBi6T
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4wfTpKCx0
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKkJuril3
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39QE3lazkB
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGiw9A4DMZ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRiKwWeZun
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ5lNUpOZu
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Ba13GHTf
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuG6niaK2L
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sc6AZUsXR
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Ybt1rZZz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE3kwIN4vi
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7lbEwgr9c
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHLc5Bl8CP
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxemCoh3PpB
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDUQCy998N
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttXcibQ7oe
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqptJFphc0l
Leo turned to look at Angel who soon straightened up. The line had moved a little and the two had to move along with it.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscxAWpLyQF
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmXR3Lfnel
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHsvQjYm04

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaudR47671
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg3F6ps6Qj
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSbIaWpt0x
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaXsfcDQzJ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KWD7dtoxq
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3acitkiMYo
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSltVU5cZw4
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx4IRdrer1
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XirpuXmy5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJbyfebf9x
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8nMlPPtHm
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQZcJS6vIV
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXseJdXEyu
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9487PehNo
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDsyWWjc4u
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLh2FgZKTA
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LpC9d2o6A

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpuBlvhTo2
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wxw4aJV6y
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4KeeWzAIx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp12zMtYwKG
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdskqqbo3
Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you asking me? I don't know."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT5EQG4hDx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNlrsDjyIz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9K37QzlzN
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEgPp8KOae
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNmpBPOfPs
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bWzAxcfbt
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeLaqJPb1y
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGj38N7yUW
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A3jx6XeGX
"Why did you only order four?" he asked.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONb6ly8208
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKUFYlOJ23
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOB5JSy29q
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TT0tDWlqt
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyp9qktHRi
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxpKZrNO6j
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP5Rq7IyRZ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y9JOEhV4B
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8K03Ugpab
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs0u2W78R7
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wS8gWY4M1

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKqsjYNYbj

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VDQQmXyHY
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrrmonCef
"I did." Leo thought about it for a second. "I'm still going through it sadly."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhouUTKBn74
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB89RpYui1A
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVKhb2ZhGK
Angel knew what Leo meant. She bit her lower lip to keep her mouth shut to avoid saying anything stupid in public.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cxhY43rCd
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZsFZk2pwb
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vXpD6gdqP
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EyqljaVi1
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSArb2WgJSX
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUFPbo6pFN
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzzApGHNWT

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqOMiHDob5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19xd81h6T

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf5zbJkwTM
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsLRvj8Gnb
"Oh, I see," Kim nodded a bit. "I came here to get a bite to eat. Had to rush quickly to the office, so I didn't get to eat breakfast."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5h2vBzW5U
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaB12Ndo37
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV6aJyYShb

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIJBGM78Mi
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRlWhf77Dn

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7i9dTJkU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyG182qR2l
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvpt37sqzb
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfV0LhLPzJ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcA9fcYCeg
"We better take these while they are still hot," Angel said, quickly turning to Kim. "He's expecting an old friend soon and these croissants have to be there before then."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6CGSIkdez
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG3Hv5swsG
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh9tdkqkm9

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyjipae8wa
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxBUM2eoQ

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCCjVYP6rh
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf6jlYwHAG
Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDgIiZCQvS
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVtmtvT8Hz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI1XaEj1kV

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7urr9Gc2N
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7GnkwDecC
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVFS9Oi2zv
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIyGc62Dnb
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD1CENvX0p

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1PbiGD4Nx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTPfn3r2RJ
Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNkPWQ0Fhc
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfelRniUvuL
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWOOFVQQT3
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mLfNmB20u
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyuGIWTN9Y
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgbe0W2wNX
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl21DBCElqq
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTQdnFkoD

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO38ttQYr66

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIzORgpwsg
