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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDe3XKKScg

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeP8sly58K
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys5aAV6rbj

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvVkvAsp6C

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMk557Fqi5

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbGCAYEfeY

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.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFPCmI3BdQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE9N3tnqe7

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFuNlBeuBF

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7t9zYbHLA

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h22qxrGSy

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizl707ld6U

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2PrgYTo6K

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe0x39CNUw

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.

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aIldY4ILA

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z3T64g8Rf

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPOdpZFR7u
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jq8vLd8tv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02qlR1FwwP

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08TAuav6Pm
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1uKEsDkMR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagEVVdwl6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekJBoj0xj4
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLt5n9upMZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8DzAMKd7H

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03S2GaqoI8

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhodJelWnOe
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5awnj5zap

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhoGRaEiB9
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95bccZVgmq
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyQcNzMtLF
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MpcimkbX9
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNh9j05yU2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeeJHJyzNA
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzZFMKC7nm
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKPaw7UTJy
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwU0d6XALA
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXKaTjD1qs
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANVNTfuSBf

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O80IOHRtQ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rtKr4KiGK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VtPXhNig6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XaByZiIFI
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHM4SUdJ1t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwVtZP6cJ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrN9BpEJUU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIrgKU2RII
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP6IfZvnEs
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMvsHQVFBH
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxPFRyIvzQ

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JKvYh005k
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6cYS1d47a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboTPlxqxaR
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnxmUQFyon
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJfIGbibc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzCHZ0Ji5O
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJfLtrfEew
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJA10CUisQ

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW76TUa7mu
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbzetswvYz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA9CK6BMHO
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6cvEtWYgs
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDZPElI0Dt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8LwfS4p4

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p6HfwQCuy
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ijdQlMuGW
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb0BYaci2o
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxWVkonb3O
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPmwePuLOq

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiYEsyqW1K
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZ52D8lhM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwth1AzFh5l
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ByotiHYRa
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorDsot1Ral
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mq1SPO0T6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI2qsXFCtw
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflrHy9Zlor

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfgznxL6Lo
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiGM34gR0
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZdSnxCcvg
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodV7MdyRcu
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKLnNAKD43
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACGBr44bJ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Uz24hi7J
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTfIWWRPJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMxUbcWhXv

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67mWYf4mba

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8moNFkWtN
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvppeFR7Q3W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3UCIsgYDv
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRY6DwSPuk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbcupxNJpf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdQCmNkyQ

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9U1YD9R8
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjJNhxm9ix

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGJhKhLhAs
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGEYF4Tvw5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnONYYnZKUJ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoi16nH9sm

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh3cjMDOx2
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz47Cu4dshM
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc65xQI4afW

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gkqwUfa4d
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl1ghKJWpB

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgkshvvNt3
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqHExdkFol
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRz4hVOLLG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxR7CS1Zh5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJG7RP2ba7
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMQ18OCyQZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaVLWQn3JB
