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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb8ipxt947

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4FrS7cWe
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4MK5gBsPA

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySTWcmvIO7

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPQn6ufZ3E

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIWUAEXB5L

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.

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpby1Ne5Lg3
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0khKi5lXR

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqADqbovCL

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhESP8GjxRz

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kbtVg55OM

"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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ZJgIc746

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1jkOLYgI8
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nCbNcGYfk

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLauwpUPzD

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlveg1oupdQ

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. She wondered what awaited her at the McDonell company. When Leo continue to sip noisily, she wondered how she would ever handle him.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikjQ70Tl7Q

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXev50bPxd

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ntce15Xif

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnILrW7wuO

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSOvnPDnI5
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllJHfDh7Xf
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqsMVpiaUw

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwLNiLEuv
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TYHZ392sW

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9zn5crWnW
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y9ptFRuFX
"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."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rGSOJZDdQ
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccDQc6KT9P

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnXUCzQYXM
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Uqx0vzeT
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7mfTWREF9

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwpuWdMck5
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn1pxDylY2
"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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzetdBZbzKU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJmtwmlxiL
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBAu6k8gt0
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpY6D58nlC
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ttINux9B
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYToL9J1r

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZev4YTYu7
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EzP4RuVYc
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaNCzM36hf
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShMkWqCWLc
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP0ZGw8rmL
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq6lf12amj
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WWK6qiu8
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra7qPm7WWm
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNtu76vHuU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vynzCPjOd
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU7DOfG0Nz
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x55cwhPrY
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK56fvqVA4X
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUU7XrVxjE

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx0Jc7mgyL
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WLMRdYFoB

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVpUygbbaj
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EcsiETA5o
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGj0UXg7md
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbes9YwFOCU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wuCkZ8t3z
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."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF817P3H5Lt
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCx3KDnsIm
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgULoNdRsu
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS3H8hli8V
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TMuEj9GGB
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSYtSriwKH
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvc7TSJ0Xb
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wvygxxt4J
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vl1C4w2T1
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcfmmlltQi
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWe7AShJI8
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGIm3p1Y1j

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rpQ0Qf9DW
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTdq9deVeb

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcEm1l84xD
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKJtviIVtN

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwprffdCeC
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6Dccv1c5
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA9UKgdVJI
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFtw2mpPo3
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyPGOQmITz
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4gHndxhR9
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyict3Z12dS
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ6WtcbB0K

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHCGYcDlm
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMebzwqvRt
"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."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGwmioAi6
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O0ECXqAlK
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrp5tszJmv
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlo4n4maVo
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcicH8ucaQG
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloBypiqfCH
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPI6zLjjvB

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKAk0IENyJ
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Nd4fOXHu

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHq3s7dodg
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqebUtTkAwY
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOug6dcA5b
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXcqxpln9Y
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMJrXi3iDR
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4tBrhglKG

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4aAOoQZN

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2MriK8bH5
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAOuMDa5E2

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkv9FSnchB
"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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfPwz2qYMo
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSBKi1PBUe
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqjP3FIk1

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh2In0TdYs

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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM4T3avpc4
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOd3PvV6w3
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbeEghcX4Z

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhgvDTDgS1
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L50jYT1iA

664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGAVufvazC
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQGfWtGe3w
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."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQXdhvt5px
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpt92z8ybU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOW5hFae0m
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBeiPgwDhR
