“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDXmug5Wts
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC8ABjFjrd

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtWFzU5xAc
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILSuTXHB95
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCPP7ZQ2HZ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZom29FGg6
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i02atB8Er
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7plsRLUai
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMdXyXItrt
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nyXDZFGtO
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjrNF1LXZm

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yJnwm82CW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhix71DHOYD
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyrrinQ9cH
want to say it.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTLTxZjeSo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcqjyiGJOK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbal5rSUO5

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteqhi3g0a2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWmEfwhNq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoBRDt8uyD
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkdsEdWAct

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguMnFzevqo

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFdWFErgMz
because that’s just how she is.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLErUPeMiNP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJnfqDbBc
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNCjHjlfFw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DamGFfpmW
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoov8hSGF48
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd0dcjd1x1
your fun.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmMAe4uP9S

you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNgYNFlbdH
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPiELysEN4

Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t7nM6Zu9N
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqExbuvWXE
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y3uMeaY9T
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0j6tvFYn2

Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCko2BRO9IB
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPr7CwPSYj
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJJp8rWuSv
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNao2yIyE5G
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXlopIe3Bx
that they should join Angel and the others.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrE4D7IPjB

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOH98e3Gdh
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWXBKnIV62

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI197QfDtp3

“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjEgfSTpT3

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj5TooCf9E

they aren’t at their table.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc0xNCAKlc
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdJylolVfW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6paoTP2LI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7sC8DDmi2
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHIp8tGtQd
the counter.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOZU2k7yBx

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvgTvSAHT8
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEoUra8vQF
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5veC8wtNri
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCq1XvY0Gz
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLzBAWaSvU
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7hfp5vhfh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTLmpF2lCd
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0z2qOHcB
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguS10VrVcg
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46w3DbZHIA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRByiOEhLnZ
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM3VVDlBRi
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZm0rQeR7u
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPDGfRnShH
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEhX0LE6Dn
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1obMtYCsr
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf6hjmjfGD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJTKm3adiW
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFzyGiSKfc
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINwFJ1BmWR
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZwEaTQ4mS
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6EHRqOnj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMg8mkfgpL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2pGsLtxtM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1YnR5abvL
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyEBZ7KVe
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ADfCMDWRD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs4DqjNoJ1
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDeAddFBcK
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yErMurqil
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXoe382Ugc
would speak first.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJFeTZ5Y22
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc2YyNBIlC
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjuUQIGlUH
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0D9pnOvFO
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKD6TZzJfc

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d8OaMOk6l
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEllTyJD7ky

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ6gp9sqdR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy4C4wHvCc
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA1viXoQjz
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Cp51g0vo
it was hopeless to do so.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2geK4ZqX8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5XpFKhCHy
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGumjDaRvq2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI0XyNWyWj
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Lk6Ffipo
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZouW7mzEMl
Walters calls.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK8EWvSUVd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL53puLdjAF
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdThNGGvhyU
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG7KDYyDHu
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVjT5butYu
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLAKU4D1J
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJu7XrHQVG
minute.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxrNsUah2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYl9ua48YY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyFbg709C7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEpf5yKeVl
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zg5Lc3WTF
door.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZBZqonDIr
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gsnka3ZsZ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb0FdtylbY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Wj06t5tb
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ffRFFu1hq
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU3Ljxn8JS
any moment.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6HnWGaFQb
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhA8J5uDm2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqeJyUhLvj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHUVpuMIWf
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsEKl7NpKH
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnpR1cnFud
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnBPAEAlP7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwciarqWfM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZUBJQVu1u
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDOaJFFl5A
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGpnd5hqR3
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DOSBo8O6I
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdYJws9Zcl
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9IOYCYThe

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzayWPC6xT
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTl9baB54F
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6fy0qjhTn
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QeZgkNgGV

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQnhufbN7B
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKT8ixOivi

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDUm8v22Oc
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5PHKj7Ij2
Eric and shook her head.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTIX5LbCQO

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebc6dRG69b

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvPJTvAv0G

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtrxk31biv
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbsU3yonkT

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ16fKGzIqF
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7R87yJvw0

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGM2lSA5yJ
they all burst into laughter.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5CcjxdBDM

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImFNAJoHTa
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWOEDjG5JH
out his hand to get a nacho.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WJRfHLqWh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGOtxTS2Oh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNphZoNGMI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdgmLBLgYR
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QEVU15XnL
afterwards.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRZOaDZ7RE

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdloiAegZ0z
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQmdtNxsry

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DqccKE3N1
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8OcC3fY4I
the statement.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTY7pK5BR

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ulLbEkaZ9
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4y2DgWIgb
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHCX1BLZ79
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr3hPCN2bU
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbnxYcMVJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcmU1gnRX4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1QC39uXd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKavLxyRH
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55QlpFJm44
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPOkhip0BD
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmKLjJrv6z
elsewhere. What should she do?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jW7AJoPw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN5TT9d6kN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ42r26zIh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefh4QKOuVf
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FMNK0InlE
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJo036wEXx
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZPThFi8e8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowiTgC6Da1

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOwkO0W9Xt
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBl0oIf8XC
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BXBRMyVg2
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjs4Qwxm8Q

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4QFOaAbRK
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QreyCO96r
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1buk0vYb8V
necessary.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkexIsZH8Kh

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYRMXkj3P1
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEUI0RX9E4

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7WxB73LGT

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6nx2DWRBj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkoJXDyfS
Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zpnk7s6t2
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8xcvFaGL4
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvJhEEib8

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fTvmTJ4Qo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRTR0GibMv
Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpflWzQqyt
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRdtarjM1R
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRTOo82Y0T
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBniIzph0
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6qie7UOR

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHwqbqQu4d
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda4pHYveN3
“That was close,” said Trina. “For a moment, I thought Eric was going to see330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnbn40Bqk
us.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t0Z5HNSLT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD2SIHXzrY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fimMSN9DQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXLxZTYuG

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HRGwTM8Qs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuHle4reEK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPNCQr6i5M
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHt2dUYmzQ

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLRc8AoFC
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVro8BtjDO
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyarPH3dIGU
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoprbPDbhz
counter for a drink.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIDFyLz9ey

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z35yDj990
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQqQdYKxL2
“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw43jiomP7
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHm4MxTe4q
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrOwT1BsDv
has.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE4UfsLyXK

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifcCFZUyt

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDrq6893ai

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvROXmXQUL
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMxNoSKTIJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dychWwiG8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZnXTnHXDu
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AI6v3BP7f
A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutqF61ECN
just as jealous as I am,” she said.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jo3XK0msd

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWxpe2Tb8g
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGLF9xwueI

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF732q5MOn

Kim shook her head. “I know, but I won’t let this go far. Once I get to see330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhM4pz8uL3

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZUnGNNZ0P
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBDmxKzoZr
Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcH3L2thW1
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBN2DaFyrD
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfTod24Q0r

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRefkLK7bV
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEQLy4m41
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvnezpRGcV
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Owi6JkN1
isn’t going to do you any good.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ716ZjdE8d4

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYkSdXFAvR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4v8E7RIws
Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR2ePOwdi6
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQmJkkr5XK

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjCA827Tya

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54v7mkJSup
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPrWnCRcsS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNzNXFDTva
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfcssYj2Y5

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvYiAKRDkT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41AQNxAXY4

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPALp8DtL5
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPLO6PYsjw
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V4WIj2sAg
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVSMFlrFWc
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjtWTfWdad

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYbXxgBBT
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlISvPdH6ub
she didn’t even give them a second thought.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX74CxOAVEe
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJPQELKIsm
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DVBGD9M86
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBfnrFPx3e
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgC9QCzWM6
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3M7da4C4
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNxKL0ugj1
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1WZxzT7hb
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo99zqBUFH
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpX33IgTZl
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCiTbrnsTk
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxGfmuFJDG
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3BodYv9QY
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeDLNlROXn
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvVlZ7jFxp
she wasn’t too careful.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqdDCfyc7Z

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWR9gGTQAu

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KtDkB6qTv
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnsvOVCaGz
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH3LLVqrtV
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQaINoO9fz
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjx1fZoTHt
things.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8teTv7jwf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg283urStM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6pCSFgoed
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0odGvYQST
She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbRKRFke9H
and hopeful that Carly wouldn’t turn her head to see her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwTyMlpVx

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8c2opbOq
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5m8TnS3x
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCFnBFc14t
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPh4pa1PEW

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1j9R0VzS

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzhv0qCz9g
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGg8gOOkD6
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0dVgqPLYb

as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdS2e7fb2

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEosmZj9emf
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUIdv43QZE

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSeboEmiMZ
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBIdrz22It

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L5NLHgFvK
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4GLwfFJMz
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoU6YifzQo
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61dAnU9O4O

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj4XwsdMGJ
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnRZgO7Wag
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUoSBJ2FK
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAARrMuYhO
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9c3zBJUY

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ax5Gtlr3v

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPGI22ZmBH
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHXtZaGpkI

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzmSQv0JX4
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTx1otNny
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnOTf5OeLp
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSM0EFcW2
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxyMuXgrY1
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHuyxLXvm
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wu2Snv6iz

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nXXja8e4Q
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SG3Hz80bU
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIq3ktu4zl
though she had woken up from a bad dream.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj86OS5njZ

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKksEXbSG3u
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HIz6nQBQ7
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM4fALillL
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJlIZSkKt8

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaweHl3wxW2
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr2Szda5sS
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEUepgWd6C
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WHKd3Zmiw
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotnvxDmwiX
herself.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI5aatxboC

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUhzpSeno

Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5mLLIgVm
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcXgcs6WBl
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BwZEi7aMj
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLF86T682B
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3OTEl5zLw
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1YigRFbEq
notice her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQEIvZWSQh

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx0LMcTpqo
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1AFFa0noS
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDt8P40s5l

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEdBujp3j
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0YEN6AXEX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQZvdsnHF4
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaK0KgxFTz
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cUKAUxQ4j
surprise.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmlA0cxP5i

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldmoEZ4xzW
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHULvWIDKV
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDldpyfCNG6
“At the candy store.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Q59hqBFP

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPIuJpyA57

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ0Z7Qtsxc
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnff2mtVst
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQCxCzkdvy
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwTMo4cwgU
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUSJBlpeBW

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV2SRQNrjT
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRSBjXqxqE

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2oUGraRwN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5FF6wQN6T
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTqaDjLGL
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QABM7WPei
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO0b4yQeBd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jilB9BdLo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaoDtJaMi6
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb8g96r7rN
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dKPThoLoo
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAY14TZZAh
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJ7pe2kkw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuH1DoQoqP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBwzQscihU
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhaQoCI7iS
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQJ2sJKuNA
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxKZbIKHdM
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH8d8ULyl0
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSBpM7niIG
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Zbav91xn
leave, but after she finished her martini.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4JdRCQm7f

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEscWyS2dip
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9VTFaVxVP

it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQplR2YRIVX

As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3NYAXRlRs
Kim’s shoulder.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR8qONyguY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnmsOhfXCw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5rxSDKAVc
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL6GfWX9bW
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu5HOWuVE6
idea. We should get out while we can.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgfZRvFtBq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghPWRlBbB0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9osvh0Wdq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Td9RU7ouq
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlqDpiaMs7
the conversation. Let’s go.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TtlBlQxj9

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpqC5Vd9A
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXitjpHx4J
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Gb0sNLQ8
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcORnHG56YI
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXroadnGhX
were able to see Leo’s table.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g0byfLkSp
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Ss7XDQ3U
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLeyGAJifg
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLw9ZicuvS
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYekkESodEK
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZboxk7WBwn
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEiAoAKNKA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnkFEFxbXt
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIBUj6ck8e
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk01hPMvbzN

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQQErRaqcG

“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mVKrmoQA4
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwRuoahbk3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhsFPF6Fw2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsMDG3Iemo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINfzc66nh0
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROUOXebVvU
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfAfUaNlvk
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvPph2STlz
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc92mDIOgA
counter in anticipation.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U0kRKRchq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFOI1V6KrG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3jNXkoqAf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoLQh6sEk3
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIXYPHlPIi

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkAPta547Z
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oNuIZ52zO
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t1skJyLZJ
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGTxbagQtG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH1JdHmyX4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FhR7uhHu8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbvARnmHRn
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6M6c266Rq
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1aDmikB7
head.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4veIYGoQSp
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRtb2T97Gv
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ZTmLcuBg
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65y5Vph7GG
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7cEap9G7W
not at that intimate level.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wRfRybZ70

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXJwZGEaSw

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY3CagGNFs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZEQ6jSPe
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Chw2eo3U
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnzjmF4CZz
he was being friendly to me.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWVN29Rel

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99S16BTiv1

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBL1HgmmaK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63kKoWlHuy
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ655cSnClHZ
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Y2QokhNx
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aBg0zykDz
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN2qLSHgVd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k6sXn6OrV
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViXwREdSb5
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyE4N5rw3S
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG3TT7UN9s
counter.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qHQqJYWCl

Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1YLvze7a
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlW3CC1Cp7
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUflCCneLGU
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxXGGxE2BD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoduvfoMQM6
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvkl0twtHo
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOLbomr13K
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfeakKWa1v
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay15E5avxl
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtViLiiNND
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIISNdFEHm
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjyVSVCmSe
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfVZE2pAHK
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2m8ZZGF3i
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejROf2NY4h
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIsMdbQxLg
that was different from Carly’s.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJIAkX0Jbz
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmDeqGI3Dk
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcv2cEuqaM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzleVOyIubN
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHWgcNneaU
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetfCyeAwi
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG3sapnpdO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGNP6qw74L
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQbxh1xIt7
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBeSrFBEI
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAPh55gXqw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlHc5t7l1M
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV6eHxmY1w
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7z41Qgsnw
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey9dugELOp
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal5yydQgVG
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulbzgUEWsR
doing here?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bgJii3Yd3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKkHlxkmuH
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFmgzhTVL0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTNgdYZmIs
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJtc2Re6I6
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEZEukLWA1
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBbcm2eKwk
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHJiZr6TPy
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkytDVnLCEd
surprised look.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWI2YSksXw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF12Pkue373
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPDtXm3Xdd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVHcWVMcNu
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRLSIdBxiL
get her attention, but she thought better of it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZR7bJ8ofj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xJwsKypHh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCXkxNCNSJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4p9csouM
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkScZet2I1
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoudWcvpKr
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMMRhhNRfR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oXI7cYwx7
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx9mUUtvBe
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2himlqxHtw
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzzUZbDA1X
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfu0qKFuJe
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjPGWOJ9qb
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79BSBlLYP4
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqwpGIW1gm
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9dgSDvt44
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCAwqcK4Hd
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOgh8cqe7r
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh1dlaKAiL
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6qKtiU4Yq
the table.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIJyh76yRf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWDom1ym9n
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmZwlPFse1
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97jn79NlE

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdeSotPG1n
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9PHgekEWO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkfRyxxpg5
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqQBs9rFRg
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSbTyUuIwn
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YcCjM2486
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hbKhWh9jS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L9Q21FER4
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHlfG8uidO
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzeJDkFkk7
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyfNZjmnsh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNDWNkYsv9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MadwRh4tQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIfzeU9Cpp
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUVMk3VyEq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx81vVLpvj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl5Odanzv9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OhPNTYQOz
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8G8O43IhE
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj3FsqrWmK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZPom0ugem
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OolSNEye0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSbUkJItA
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ3EbZzn3Z
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqYmyA4CCG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSqGv6AQZO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEedwQ2IPz
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlRPxZOFYU
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDzH4EXg5O

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rqba83U9B

“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNppJP6zJlF
said Marco.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC0zF6GhMC

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuoFgtS9mX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8IPs9CgQj
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQuLsVpTHu
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74TMfNv3rK
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIsB98mZUn
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlEra4W4oe
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjXrSsFOLQ
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn2Y48o6mo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFszLPIDlX8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AgLlcDmGS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaLyhQuel6
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4VOilAJ4V
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVWVVRUrlp
thinking about.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP12vVU24p

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTH3pCCYHS
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Mqf4k8sI
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjGMz6EjFn
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡery9JPxHDe
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTHmaSAwg1

here.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlMMvkOFQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOsYZ5as9c
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7VkP8uUy
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRG2xeKbKs
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3QJ6U6Vfi
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iSlGGrUn7
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu0LxuYnN2
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzBXAmIqmQ
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAea7DjwUuJ

Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ364rXgUi
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aKTmGUcSJ

“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmePcP26NSs
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYhf4fACBy

Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhrm3Sx70O
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pqUgQLI5A
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWLOWpR6Ju
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ev2UTBw3o

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIz9u86AiQ

difficult.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MSHHGOXq4

Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQdu5hP5So
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBs7eKRk2l
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycsZH3zfZy
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMAd91nysv

much at all for a while.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCywlTvsd5E

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxJkpa6uWI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ewEe0PxCi
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A8KPyAPTy
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsk0qAV5lX
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RTCUZYd8W

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIvvy1g9Ay
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0PDBYDIGQ
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFIputtD42
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTvMf9KJRB
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTgGqG1dVf
Miranda might still be around.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjIt0bPKjs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCpGXUtpev
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQbai8G2iO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WVxBEHbp
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA35nETTvml
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMTN6HSsu8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtID5Bxfhd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ8CIPH2Vh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmURCs4LJwF
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAFFvyAG4c
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3goHRCVh
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0uaq5NIh6
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0eFh8mMvf

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyoAT61Mi6
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wZkrAkuif
they started to stand up.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnhpmcseOh

Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKId1e8LVeO
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpufzjGh9MN
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf7L7FapXh
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq7k4rW3Hw
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunob5cU9zM

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhon2X7hdbv
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94pcNbZt92
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGYKySnOkB
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q3M46LArA
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPumkmVn3e
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJahST74ZbL

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEOaG39vX3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEQCmz69nt
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhX8GAcVZc
seen us.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y27QQD9Di
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajFSsjRyOo
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyatGigQS8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmPkNaEctT
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oejfgvWh
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcgHBv6bmd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkVijhIAbM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzCpsDzxBT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM59EZUlPF
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISdMaJgBKK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKryLoQbUcL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MDYfPyiBx
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ism612Mt9
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ9sUN7HtX
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Zgdj39Ib
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz9UaPI7Xa
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10wjxR5RqX
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkV8It163
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJDVj9XIPJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIaxCqiazj
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyIEDYmFBz
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfubPjOkBxf
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1nyZ7qPB
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBBTkhKTcT
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJunRqws4
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUlII55JD1
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuGVjVWzK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLym9L2nUQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313oe2apfG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X0vrjI0ll
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzyk85vjmp
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH0ihoZSZ8

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2ywcphwkn
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9EOdbPW4F
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoLDDWNFrV
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWtL0FCgNc
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbn1EBnpqh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAaR76OjW9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTbOjIiOkY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11JX5uhkrU
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmIPLqgVBA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplaBNPfKFl
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBQFH6VxN5
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9SMaC7w0G
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7WufEON08
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVyjflJpk
this wasn’t over.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHnKBO4F2q
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb5t8BNCsh
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDNUNM97eE
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMmviraJmQ
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUstoa3Apj
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTX1deLYfb
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3penncOPI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtb7atnh6a
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8z5avVbm9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO6in4JMFO

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtBaOvQOrF
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLITMJIXAY
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2ZREldkC
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5BQMO8uAT
favors," said Angel.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc80VmYUGfo

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX0ZV0sDme
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxht7mpdkAc
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0UxFnLDZC
they been there?"330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmS7LjZgFl
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPlnkiFq9r
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvAYs5QtCR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4trgK8Nzz
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ39iyFFBK
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg3yxw2ViP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9UNPUuqvD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYMQc0g8pm
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDikqRZErEI
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBCfwaLMG
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfWIEOIDyR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWEfNJKui3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdJzfVL8S0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DfBeEoK0H
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPOY0xhcZT
so you've got to be careful from now on."330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTkUpdRRem
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXt8WsVbhs
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOLVBdJ94Z
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtcCRSyFWT
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbkiPUNzuE
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIBaueGhCf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sdWvurxcD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetLQzQbIve
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3Wn3jAxv
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyajNtZDzJ
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GeuIz6TE7
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF004HTAxx
night only.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrnU38z7C9

“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk7oTaP2jP
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKAU8aahrA

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6KVBVYG3j
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavmI8qeH0g
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn2lx2liKh
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBWYyqFFJ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv50aHhgEYv
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx8wysLc5P
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KCdL9uliW
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKacyIgYrG
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT26aHMb3V
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSF8PSC3Me
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHeIONcNi4
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybBjWS4Sfl
want one?”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlUOfZEsK

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS0rEJ5C48
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPx4kBvAaJ
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDis0TQosp3
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kwWX37IU2
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyyUOFXj82
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkjHyf8ukz
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2FstBMClm
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PyoRR6eXa
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSaWW1GvFw
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mL536deUO

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w2kpfM63F
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8qo25mapB
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnNZxnGC9O
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpraAitY6AK
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT7eg18wNZ

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD62Kt1PeC
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibwWztPPtJ
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHxJJFBLBO
relief, it was Walters.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUjnmUsILG

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlO0hF6kv8

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15YjQ7Y1HS

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9qw8wevE2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyAbDq5moF
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ4MzIVRQt
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aNSWKxVCb

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYEaA8IdcM
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5RGug1hpv
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMq2glN7zF
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQALKhgZnjw
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rYCbNgB2A
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTvwp9DdfK

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNy6Wqaa0Q
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEo8Qkd0zN
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6QcKbNukT
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7we85K0xP
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEGfb4wMv1
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xUKZX3gfA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcAhzFGwLM
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpFJaATF8T
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLrneYgNEW
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vGeHiO265
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mmwg3jDYj
