After finishing their dessert, there was joyful laughter and conversation all around the table. Everyone was actively participating except for one person in particular, whose mind seemed elsewhere. Angel did all she could to keep track of what was being said, but failed to do so. A funny feeling came over her now and then that something bad was going to happen if Leo were to see Kim and Trina.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemdB688pgY

She smiled kindly at Mr. Cho, who addressed her, and never said as much as a simple “yes.” Now and then, she would try to look over her shoulder at Kim and Trina. However, every time she did, Eric would find her looking and would throw her a smile, thinking that she was looking at him. Pretending like nothing was going on, Angel would smile back and try her best to engage herself in the conversation.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQVGqoms8

It was now time to leave, as the dinner event had finally ended. Angel felt relieved. Maybe if they left early, Leo wouldn’t have to see Kim or Trina. Mr. Cho and Mr. McDonell stood up to mark the end of their dinner date as they shook hands. Angel slowly stood up from the table before anyone else, and it was then that she saw Kim and Trina through the corner of her eye. Rising from their table, the two women made their way to the ladies' room.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IC6Yt0IUj

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcA2FtZZyZ
Trina and Kim entered the ladies’ room. They had noticed earlier that the McDonells had finished their dinner with the visitors, and Kim had told Trina that it was best to leave in case Leo looked across the room and noticed them.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL1nt6OAfX

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGByp4rwIZ

“Good idea, Angel,” said Eric. “Leo and I were thinking of staying here for a while and exploring." Eric threw Leo a look, and Leo brought up a small smile. Carly smiled inward, knowing what Leo meant in the message he sent her.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSDAPl4r5o

Carly decided to go to the ladies’ room. Amanda and Diana said they would also come with her. Angel turned to look at the corner of the restaurant that led to the ladies’ room. Had Trina and Kim walked out without her noticing, or were they still in there? Should she follow Carly just in case? Angel didn’t know what to do.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bTIhzjRJ

Mr. Cho and his colleagues, together with Mr. McDonell, led the way out of the restaurant. Leo walked alongside his mother behind them, with Angel and Eric following behind them. Angel couldn’t help but watch the other three women on the other side of the room turn around the corner to the ladies’ room.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxqlPhGwsz

A few seconds before everyone had started to leave the table, Trina had walked out of the ladies’ room first, with Kim still in the stall. She peeped around the corner before fully stepping out, and that was when she saw Carly, Diana, and Amanda heading in her direction. She quickly ran back in, and she knocked at the door of the stall Kim was occupying.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4ZQFMs6CM

“You have to stay in there for a while,” said Trina as she made her way into the empty stall next to the one Kim was in and closed the door. “We’ve company. Amanda, Diana, and Angel’s sister are coming here.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOWp9Dm7CK

Kim knew this was bad. With the three women coming here, she would miss her chance to follow Leo. Leaving this room was out of the question. If they meet Amanda, who is simply the smartest and most irritating person Kim has ever known, she will put two and two together and realize what’s going on.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtEjlcmr3

Kim took a deep breath and flushed the toilet before she quickly opened the door to the stall and rushed out. Trina was shell-shocked when she heard Kim rush out as she did. She wanted to go out as well, but she was too shocked to move. Kim, on the other hand, managed to wash her hands in the sink. Without drying them, she rushed out of the ladies’ room.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLPT5vr3cL

Angel stood outside the restaurant with Eric, Oliver, and Leo. Mr. and Mrs. McDonell stood a few feet away from them, saying their last goodbyes to Mr. Cho. Marco said his goodbyes to the McDonells when he slowly started to approach the four waiting in front of the restaurant with his hands in the pockets of his black trousers. Eric and Leo looked at him like snakes, ready to strike at any provocation. Oliver and Angel didn’t pay him much attention at first.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGPeTamCTC

No sooner did Angel turn away to look at Marco, did Kim suddenly appear in the lobby of the restaurant, approaching the door. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Leo, with Angel, Oliver, and Eric beside him. They were with the other man they had dinner with. She couldn’t let them see her, so she went back into the dining area and decided to wait for Trina at the table they had been sitting at.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uqy2uJrIt

Carly left the ladies’ room and started to make her way to the restaurant’s front when a woman in a white dress quickly passed her with no warning, almost bumping into her. Carly stopped and watched the woman walk away, and it didn’t please her that the woman didn’t so much as apologize. Brushing the incident aside, Carly made her way to the entrance, where she found Marco looking straight at her when she walked out.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCJYJtu88K

Angel continued to look at her sister, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It seems like she didn't meet Kim and Trina in the ladies' room, Angel thought. If she had, Carly was going to ask and might as well have told Leo about it. May be it was for the best if she hadn't seen them after all, Angel concluded.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuDe2F17e4

A minute after Carly left the ladies’ room, Trina quickly walked out, breathing a sigh of relief that she hadn’t been caught. She hoped she would find Kim waiting for her outside the restaurant, but as soon as she walked around the corner, she felt her phone beep in her green purse. When she pulled it out, she saw a message from Kim telling her to come back to their table.

The two women walked out of the restaurant, looking both ways to make sure there was no one else from the McDonell family around. They watched Leo from a distance and started to follow.

At the entrance of the hotel, a black Chevrolet SUV pulled up, and the door to the passenger side flew open. Red Lion stepped out of it. He wore all black today, with a black leather jacket, shirt, jeans, and black boots. Hugo had come along with him as he appeared from the other side of the car. Red Lion signaled for the driver to go ahead and pack the car. The car drove away as Red Lion and Hugo approached the doors to the hotel.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe26EcfUHlA

“I hear something came up at the last minute,” said Red Lion. The door to the elevator flew open. A blue-eyed blonde woman walked out of the elevator, holding the hand of a young brown-haired girl. The two men entered the elevator. Hugo pressed the button to go to the floor, where they were supposed to go. The doors closed.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQwKx3s3XQ

They had finally reached the hotel room, and before Hugo could knock on the door, Red Lion turned to look at him.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b7EU6hJcE
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDHEtXP1Kc
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDp2CGFg7j
“You’re right,” said Red Lion. “But I have a good feeling about this one. And there will be fewer contingencies, I promise you that.” He indicated with his head to Hugo to knock on the door.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ7qQbhPiB
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TossWIZrj

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2shHsvxpDP

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlDXyKOwCB
Before Walters could say anything, the door to the bathroom flew open, and Miranda walked out, humming to herself. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Red Lion and Hugo standing in the living room. Her face filled with horror when she saw Red Lion, as the memory of him back at the party came back to her.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5gJ0idO1g
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGcjiNfdQU

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbeylIRuBh

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqjJ8UFyq7
She slowly made her way to the open balcony. Red Lion watched her go, and as soon as she was out of sight, he turned to look at Walters. Walters knew what he was about to say, so he quickly had to say something.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOuBdePky2
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN8Dew078x

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySGrKuL1NG

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbnyixGfhb
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfUgK4gsUV
“Sure,” said Hugo. He gave Walters a look before going over to the tray. Walters, on the other hand, felt relieved that Red Lion was in a good mood. But she had to give Miranda a heads-up.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7lvWhLlrg

Angel held on to Oliver’s hand as they walked out of the hotel’s doors into the beautiful garden outside, with well-manicured square lawns surrounded by short green hedges. The garden lights made the place look even more beautiful, as Marco had proclaimed. Angel couldn’t help but look around in awe. There were a few lawns up ahead with white garden benches to sit on. A few people walked around the garden. On the east side was an outdoor bar.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAkLP1uYrf

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDPqAoicU3
Angel had a brief look behind her and noticed the look Leo gave Carly. She couldn’t help but feel there was something wrong with this whole affair. She remembered that Eric mentioned that he and Leo had thought of staying behind. Was it because Leo thought of spending some time with Carly? Then a sudden thought came over her. Kim.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1LzQkcNf

Angel snapped out of her thoughts as she realized she had actually stopped in her tracks. Oliver, who walked with her, looked worried.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjZda42n0J
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIiXyKhquZ

She turned to look behind her, and she got caught looking at Marco, who, for some reason, wasn't smiling at her. Was he also worried about her? No, that's silly, Angel thought to herself.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l7oYrgWyd
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6CGgnBtuH
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARuxYD48DL
Her eyes soon fell on the pair of lovebirds. She realized that the two were slowly following behind them in deep conversation. Angel couldn't tell what they were talking about, but if Kim was here for Leo, then it spelled trouble. Kim would without a doubt realize that Carly is Leo's new lover.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqShfeDL25
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBaCKUmd7S

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgD0NX2Fl1
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjSC5mnPXf
His eyes fell on Angel, who didn't look so happy with him. He started to wonder if maybe it was because he was hanging back with Carly. He thought staying far behind would give him and Carly the opportunity to run off without anyone noticing. He would've had to wait a little longer for that to happen.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqJa32woT6
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QgvDU01Pd
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG4uIbuRcE

Kim and Trina stood a few feet away from the exit that led to the garden. They watched as Leo and others walked down the straight stone path into the garden. Leo and Carly looked like they were in some conversation with the rest ahead of them.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbqGODM36

They slowly walked along the path. The men and Oliver ahead of them turned around the corner to the right, heading towards the fountain. Oliver seemed to be saying something funny because the men had smiles on their faces. Children can be something sometimes, Angel thought to herself.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU39fIOpGJO

Carly swallowed as Angel turned to face her. There was a serious look on Angel’s face. Carly didn’t want to admit it, but the look made Angel look even more beautiful. Her dark brown eyes looked so intense that, as much as Carly wanted to look away, she still found herself looking into them. Carly cleared her throat before she spoke.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ONKlVvm9
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmC8xsSZxj

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG8cp6nhDL

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpJbb5Z3it
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwAXWJ0Xam
Angel had to choose her words cleverly there. She thought it was best not to tell Carly about Kim and Trina. No doubt, she would tell Leo, which wouldn’t spell good for anyone right now. And if he were to lose his temper in front of Marco, the result would still remain the same.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mhI7S2FG9

The sisters hurried along, and from afar, near the exit door of the hotel, Kim and Trina looked on at the two sisters. They started to make their way slowly down the stone path into the garden. With the cover of trees, they could still hide themselves from plain sight.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6PlwqkrXj

“Maybe they were talking about the other man who is with them,” said Trina, who looked towards the fountain. “When I noticed him at their table, I couldn’t help but realize how handsome he is.”434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATwFbGf0gF

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HlEKZ72o6

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdtiuGEIlv
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13vhBWtstp
His response surprised Carly. He sounded like he had known Angel all his life. She noticed the look in his eyes when he went back to look at her sister. She couldn't tell what she saw in them, but it made her suddenly want to change the subject.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i2Vn3PSAL

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfsOHiiAjk
The look in his eyes disappeared as he turned his head to answer her. "No," he said. "Or can I say yes? Many women fall head over heels in love with me, and they enjoy my company so much that I can't really point out if I have one."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfsmJHbSye

She turned to look at Angel, who had somehow managed to get a coin from Leo. He dug into the pocket of his trousers and fetched out his wallet. He brought out a nickel and placed it in Angel’s outstretched hand. She gladly smiled at him.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo68YPOAuKd

"I can show you tomorrow if you want," said Angel. "I would like to have done it right now, but you're in a suit, and you've already given me what I need." She gestured with her eyes toward the coin.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYwF2l4RUN

Angel looked forcibly at Eric, warning him that he shouldn't have said that in the presence of a child. The others, who saw her expression, almost burst out laughing. Eric knew he was going to get an earful from Angel after this.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGJgjbNhsq

Miranda felt like staying on the balcony a little longer. Walters had come to check up on her a few minutes ago to see if she was okay. He brought her a glass of champagne to cheer her up a little and asked her if she would come back inside. She declined, telling him that she would only come in when their host arrived.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6HApDOH3c
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww6pzTsBJw
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kMAKwvBoQ
As she looked out of the balcony, below her was an open bar. It was evening, and it would only be obvious to find people occupying the tables on the cobblestones of the bar area. Some in large groups; others small. She wished she could go down there and get herself a drink, but not when she was only there for business.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcU2xmc1ZB
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpZRMrJOW2
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rwCRaDEQ8
She took a sip of her champagne and wished for something out of the ordinary to happen. After Red Lion terrified her with his presence, she felt going back in there wasn't much of an option.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ia60Qpx8L

After taking the glass away from her lips, she stared at the bar below, and her eyes suddenly fell upon a face she never expected to see. Her heart fluttered at the sight of his handsome face. Looking elegant in his suit was Leo McDonell in the flesh.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9zvVdi14C
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoUvpCwM6d
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY7h2VR3En
Miranda gasped, and her fingers around the glass almost grew so numb that she had to quickly tell herself to get it together. Leo McDonell was here. And he walked into the bar area like he owned the place. That's one thing she liked about him. He carried with him authority, and he didn’t shy away from showing it.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNChEdObRt
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj00Bl5Zk4A
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQfiY7DPac
Walking beside Leo was another good-looking man whom Miranda felt she had also seen before. Behind Leo was another handsome Asian man. And walking beside him were two women who looked extravagantly beautiful. One of them, who wore a red dress, held the hand of a little boy. She couldn't see the faces of the women clearly, as they had their backs facing her as they talked to the Asian man.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqppmrpFr5C

Miranda turned to Leo, and after he talked to the man who was beside him, he turned around while the man he had been talking to walked to the bar counter. The woman in the red dress and the child went over to the other side of the bar, with the Asian leading the way. Leo remained behind with the woman in the aqua blue dress. Miranda still couldn't see her face.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWdJtZXeFS
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYSR4VkmJn

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwyJDKamt
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3llKRqm04J
The man who went over to the bar called over to Leo. Leo turned to him and went back to address the woman before leaving her on her own. Miranda would've glued her eyes on Leo, but she wanted to see who this woman was.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70eDNCSPOp
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lzNmhdL8Q
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qBe2rEcnG
The woman in the blue dress started to look around the bar, and it was then that Miranda saw the side of her face. There was no mistaking who it was under all that makeup. And she should've known from the very start by her body language that it's her.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFixpfDNrv

The glass in Miranda's hand slowly started to grow a crack, but she somehow managed to stop herself from fully breaking it. She watched Carly with viciousness, as she looked elegant in her aqua blue dress. Miranda felt like jumping off the balcony to reach her quickly.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTVLJreeh0

Miranda put the glass down on the glass table on the balcony and took a deep breath. Her heart felt like it had been lit up by a fiery fire, and it was raging ever more quickly. There's something she has to do about it. She had been keeping this frustration in for a long time, and the woman down there just had to be the reason for it. It was best to let it out on her.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZU8btZXtx
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lM5wso09b
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV07FVbDrn
Miranda had to think of an excuse to go downstairs. As much as she wanted to see Leo down there in person, she had to get rid of Carly first, and no one was going to stop her.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4GVmClEcN
