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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKw4OFd9XB
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hcUsKg0wl
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraGeNLEWeM
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb9E4jt0Ij

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh4kQHBwLX

Alex didn't say anything because within a few seconds, he found himself parked in front of the gate of the main college building. Many students were entering the premises, especially those coming from the hostels across the street.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq2PEaZEA8

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mFOkmeboh

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjNmxyYuHJ

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkKFddn9SW

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAJI4AW5SG
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4NHOjMPdb

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEJr4Y47C7

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdvIGko84s

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYctH921zZI
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznXM91QHAi

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SDQCoSFo5
Angel tried to put up a smile. She expected to see Mark sitting close to Valerie and maybe even flirting with her, but it isn't the case this time around. They seemed to be discussing something serious. To Angel, it felt so unlike him.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0UOiC6WIO

"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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zfx6Z0shF

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRLrjptJG1
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKurSRv5pg

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwLnw065oF

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpBLCOefyH
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVizaYGwZ08

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn66ucCCHXl

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhabCnxKeU

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6CZf6HAcX

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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGgbNw03Ew

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08RpEcJNT
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KVJy6i1Uu

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtDr0PKBjQ
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbeE5dDV20
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsLIJRLGQ7

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkk69xkLvC
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFHAE7RdXL
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5XE67XM0
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiJnGPfiib

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FTU5OK1h1
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFDLP3JzfE
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARvlapkNcU
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpEziYAcjb
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeA2533R19
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGvgoRlIiQ

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74aAsmbnxf
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSqsj0C1Kq
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXyqSCVGnm
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqwORynfPn

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTxQaDwQsy
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJvN7x7XTh
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF21nPNBCOe

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6IywbDoe8
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2eFZZUizp
"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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGcni5GKOp
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b0mFUH7jU
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkVF1d4hI
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaiJ1iVPRu
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawAkSj34i0
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cuFKxWJfr
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExXFG9wtdA
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKaCr3DEI
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMntQRYCxG
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqbz6HhQdX
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKun3yOquto
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ018wDxRAaR
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgUg2EKKme
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYZEnmk6oR
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONlYdFKQAo
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFSZv1sUGe
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEP8eagEpZ
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Ltwcnn6k
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgen9bz7ziU
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99pbsHJQ2n
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeRU8IwG5v
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRxBMrlSj4
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3kB42K3Lk
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZpcTOlvez

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kGj4fnVwN
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTUG13RTD
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNmWDpHAHC
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8jSya3gf6
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdhQIRGegV
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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5revH23fa
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmY07Fbu8I
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Ne47s98B

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkTK7Ofvrn
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBZB4DXM1Z
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXq6LUqKke
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYugzA4F05o
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSjUWdfJPM
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IRQ5F6Km1
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7suG6KD8q
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfBY6NE4mK

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2cawxFRQT
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrII6AD8pMj
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AgaCj8pZn
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDqU1NMs0B
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReEqB9NEel

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdjevsWe22
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrszgf2Sztz
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bJWqizrpY
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdDn0PnMRi
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrKOpJYU7M
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NKpTnMOp0
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ehnb2jNjo
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2G0fvXlBE

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQU9gRieaE
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56bri0kmH
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHD8p2z63C
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLUfbCriyV
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGGMEeMJCw
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby6OTdAm8t
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7Ay0WBfG
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEDPEZ4n8A
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzFksvhti
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJC66Atdb

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDsnuUlgzp
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIrHM8xGYy

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFBDYZGDFL
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1EmBEre50

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0osPUB2fR4
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx50OBRt4i
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuEji4QXL3
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenDhSloyyN
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMpP9s1qjS
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSDhy4ybJH

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKYDXkG09b

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6elp8F5Ecw
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA604mZJZj

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uSJHpkGLO
"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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAAcHxoLyY
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYxAqixQSa
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pEE0hbDZm

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7GkV1mPVV

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziJYJryQHR
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFAVKcpNP
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfkTefhr22
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbZGIDkKO4

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UY4OMACKA
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6n0916xei
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6DOKpktYG
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIvVfUFQP4
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHv1jGNSyD

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvFyjvlm0s
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx4PYv4non
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyHFbUiygC
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pi4IFcA7o
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYasaBFwgZ8
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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzCrQAbl1f
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbvfeAgngs
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkk2smA6QH
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnugHxiY6CK
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5zFgu3SVh

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fH6zXZpq9

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aerB8RIu1

572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27nrcHfi2l
