“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9JzwO3sKX
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sDUs3pnvC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2lR6Eewoi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjxjxcgDaQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJkuZURHk
“What do you mean she’s ruined everything?” Eric asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcxe416BIV

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjuYkjEJFh
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U3M5SL0Tf
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bcFESocBR

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnjmV879Kb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb16g6KfGXP
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtsRcM7cOw
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1VtYLBOpT
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnC9Sgaxks

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuFip6pRrA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5uXTLBnqI
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMBvZoeEEO
want to say it.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRIzvSrIof
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxBSxoUcVS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbiXv1aYMW
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolkj8TPDAy
“Say what?” Eric asked without looking at Leo.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBimVBn0ob1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLAEvnFcL8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSZk9AfVj4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QLQvo6R1x
Leo sighed again, deeply this time. “That she has my best interest at heart.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntEOyJ05g3

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2QSRRMhJk

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fEQk8Vxey
because that’s just how she is.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9xPIcomtE

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2sxrS8b0t
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4RO9ZSb02
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVuF5QVsJo
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf6cTOtqk8
your fun.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrClnHNrMIG

“I just want to rub it in. Before we went into the garden, I was about to tell423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpkQCtCK2J
you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlxJPGVNiB
ahead and talked to Carly about it.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhopZfVwjng
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbG7e5FqfG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUJljILYAu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt4nOCvtvT
Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmdYoOSOig
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb2UGKRjfh
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGhNfzwL8U
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURM3l3HrOv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQKEydHCc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvIElZWTRx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprpVEyhzhF
“Do they serve milkshakes here?” Leo asked, trying to rid himself of his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1m8brDxaL
thoughts.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHrXGF395e

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysRjZSczDw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSPW3SA9T
“Yeah, I already asked,” answered Eric. “They serve non-alcoholic drinks as423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNOeJezDoB
well, in case there’s anyone who needs one.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatvQzt6g7F

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG340D0Q9c
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YyGCCJjXP
Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkq68IAOww
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBF8svMVZ4
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTpJahLqts
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvvaBPz6Kn
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVWMjAePNN
that they should join Angel and the others.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3YfeMIwGZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt0QhdXdU0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2O2JwtuhP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YMZHcpwOu
Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY81xzlt3B
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP30xfcMjRq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD5wmGn8Z0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQotfGkoG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9mfl7hfjb
“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz9qoV249F
Trina asked as she sat at the edge of the pool basin of the fountain.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdxEycvgBN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTDhvIdRIG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPkgZiYtVq

“I don’t know,” said Kim, who remained standing. “Don’t tell me you’re already423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpxSmy4GH0

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZc1ft0rSQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuf5S7CgCg
“Oh, no, it’s not that. They are there enjoying themselves when I’m in need of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMn78ZtQIZ
a drink right now.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjCPs8ReoA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAiSLcpnK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn46Jghcrh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmbtbTJh86
Kim rolled her eyes. “We can go there and take a seat, but we should sit out of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7gZC94kVp
their sight.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZSa6CmG2N

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB9FIh7JjV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1b7yvPdN9
“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ySeVHNUb
see what everyone needs because he hasn’t sat down. They will easily see us if423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq0EOP28ua
they aren’t at their table.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtUmFkZfsH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjlXxvi9qw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ezvTWpB7m
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3BJLXtauJ
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqyYhwh3Ef
the counter.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKse8L1Ngh3

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEDHbNI7pZ
Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwT5MtAPEL
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlprTbQSqLg
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6iypnz3cm
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ZLDrhnHf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Ow4Hu4OF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquvacQaj4u
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kFb9HkMmn
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM8Codl6yF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKM8yOUHqi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFIc6oGYmo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlyIwkNPku
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbCQ4uLvAk
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoaBIgKdqQ
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJcHozYlEU
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VIR9iuZ7S
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7bXhcRk7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMAReIcLfD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXiEzZMMnc
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLYVdBALn
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4XNzMOuRO
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0GQsaYMW
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQwX8YxAxH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWeTY0lyoq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaOmQSoRs3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtonzJ1vbd
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgc7U5EpG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcQbcC5Tp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEKwL6jAEJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF37GrM0Yc
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X7TeR07ww
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg1QQaTL24
would speak first.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5SCqT8sQr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM4Mi9pdlD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXaw2TNCUg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEp6MpQ2OE
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVj4Z8rxW
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygy32tDxZU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9QWG9e8v
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpuTn63DwF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Oq1y5X5U
“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpJJJ3XU0M
he gets here. I really need to step out.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQo1AbgJEl
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG777C18CX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdZMq2V2F
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrw2Vm0NWB
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Tf0ScjEE
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBmzQfQEvv
it was hopeless to do so.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydBJhiwmDc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyyTfT3cZs
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMvwHQOjj3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Jge93RWl
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIdBxXnGgz
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYPoIQGuOe
Walters calls.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ6nrTok2E
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylIgSmnKb6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoRwTnOLPY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPnlv1HcLg
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQiXlmIfUo
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvkB3CI73A
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwuto5NGEq
minute.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEtmLkBoNT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xnYI9t4mX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVVLVvg5g3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZhtnyNFEm
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmckAGa2xje
door.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcKulFNJ8O
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEupHvYNBP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kd9MliVsY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkVGKU10eC
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEka3hUeKQv
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLZ2NF9mzP
any moment.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgF36MyhvE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwjlvxzN3T
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZD8fusES
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5cHM83PWJ
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wg24ur0Ce
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAohFym0WPS
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkeZ1AAN6o

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76AyjhclzS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3C1eG3Zxf
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLqWUnveNN
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3QucaWG0
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSsJWhWnE
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJBN2gdv9
else he wouldn’t have done what he did.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bRjGpmZeT

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiFgobRNID
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTULN2SyLW
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrvTZ99jmh
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6IhtOySSz
next day.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVSBpGHzHf

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoD0OKmdt8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYNe8PncrK
“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUrrKyLBPS
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK86vLi6HK4
likes to act like he can do whatever he wants.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr8XBN9BTd

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC9n74RviN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle4FA9NZjE
Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BR6j9oA1s
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLa0kHlNF6
Eric and shook her head.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rZo99xkSU

Leo placed his glass of beer and Carly’s cocktail before taking his seat in423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg91mehTafJ
between them. He also served Marco a bottle of the cider that he wanted. Marco423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbYyXs8Bu
thanked him as Leo sat down.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPigXYND5PG

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xu3fR38ib
sat in between them. “Have you ever been here before? In America, I mean.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFIuqdNNB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWkFNWvtUe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3GnZrUkQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ169sE1nLno
“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lroBTqZoV
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW5DenYi2Q
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFaRDVjWW4
when you don’t want to. I bet Leo can testify to that.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tLrNP7J6

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAiTMRjZSw

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e6B8Oi5eQ

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoX0uzHDxp

Everyone at the table grew quiet as they looked at Oliver. At the same time,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUNI0XixWt
they all burst into laughter.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWIesZnAyu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdfwXKr7v
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN7jdd1Gw4

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tHDzi2IUq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgLb3craVu
“No fair,” said Oliver after chewing on his nacho. “You were the one who was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP6etEKAVC
supposed to inherit it, not me.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz9VSP3Pin

“Don’t take it like that, Oliver,” said Marco. “Beauty parlors aren’t that bad.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ibdk8xAk
Moreover, many rich people love going to such places. So you’ll probably make a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh5myPfR3G

“I still have a whole life ahead of me,” said Oliver as he shrugged his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDocLowCfv
shoulders. “I’ll see if I can handle it.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9TL05JKY2

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KLWPVx5NQ
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8aM2y1t6
out his hand to get a nacho.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMURFREy6M

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ11kZwkfC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHkL15rGi
“Good enough response for me,” he said. He put the nacho in his mouth423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy17xAZVOB
afterwards.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HU6VUod1U

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG0lbAPkvz
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK430FgO2fe

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mBva4KzVY
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HHmOiZUo6
the statement.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKrFzrJXdE

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNn6sODO7q
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbJdUBJSUH
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wOdPks3Lm
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpZVKHDUU
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbqtV28cst

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44yDH6LnC7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR86Hd1m7c
She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm9u2QKGjW
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTa6gs73Yt
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZQFAppot3
elsewhere. What should she do?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6StZxmPe4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvrC9f8ki
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQoilHPxbM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ckMOuoJAU
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF8dA3hljR
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd631CLgRnF

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87uLuaScDs

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk9kRUCHev
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XjDDOdv88
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJj4PELLhi
caught looking at her. “You’re looking really pretty tonight, that’s all.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8S2SolFa

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYdiTnlLZ
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQHlCd5NCH
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA79a5NG8iO
necessary.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBnZ6Ciso

“Nah, I think it was,” said Eric. “I’m betting that you didn’t have to try on423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BQZFwoD7W
any other dress. This one was just perfect.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3OIarUtQD

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzvkDW9NKH
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQO9bGNir6
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32zf0JYJRs

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15TWAkZd8B
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2jUjasGYl
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqWEk43P8i
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxCdOuEeg
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsQ6G2ZjtM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU03YoOFh0A
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTorO6ypgX

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdKfxvz8K3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVej7fzqtso

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlhDMkPdbv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANBTcsqMFc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88WXlEKvtJ
“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK7ujqZ8hP

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WJ2uhbQT6
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSAaCH5f6
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7kRcezsqT
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztgxqXVOj6
counter for a drink.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVYlcMo18j

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTY1lxk3Zu

“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJp7SvYLV4
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKlm8gRttK
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSg8x9JOK1

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jpvu9hmQP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUqVnahKY

Kim looked at her best friend, feeling infuriated by what she said. She didn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUROcSPiVyM
want to lash out and tried to find a better way to respond.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbO2mtZgZd

“I’m not leaving without you,” said Trina. “And besides, when we came in here,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga0VSoDJvn
I saw Eric flirting with Angel. I wonder if he really does like her.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZASfolfQi

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnYOk7aTeg

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCVD4ccgiC
just as jealous as I am,” she said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZOd3QuIr4

“Well, I’m not like you,” said Trina as she folded her arms. “You’re making423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkze5mDmkX
things worse for yourself, and it will end up being a obsession.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48GffRdnj

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJRfNVnIJt
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMHjQeFirE
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU2Mu6tSir

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIim0ndBKv8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANaJ5btXGB
Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG63DTdulu
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbO5ovV7nh
isn’t going to do you any good.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDOeM0K5AQ

Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks1U7A4gao
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUpjkSzF0W

Kim didn’t answer, and Trina rolled her eyes. “Fine,” Trina said. “After423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TPsazgl6o
tonight, I shouldn’t hear about Leo ever again.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7swp9kCVz9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfkZLLDAHU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TciNJg9KH

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzAwh1JeCb
“You forget him anyway,” said Trina, pulling her hand away. “I’m going to get423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW44UqwYrK
us some drinks.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phMNWO3qL

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22XSG1I2X
Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOzPhJkp1M
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh96RDTZWx
going to forget Leo after this, but even she knew that was far from impossible.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAVOvklBaM

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYfUpPkEh8
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV63tqxhKGA
she didn’t even give them a second thought.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4a6HkY5o
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrS6nzjZ0y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RZRS8eqrF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5oZsu5wil
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlw3SafBSW
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmbUsI73rm
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnOjT4nxow
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WX72Q5vvi
minutes left, but all she needed was to see Leo.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5K2YfILQf

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQUtQo81OQ
She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDmuJ9Mjlw
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggCaReSG4Q
well have Carly seated right beside him, and Carly would no doubt see her if423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97g8B79I8G
she wasn’t too careful.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28rIE0p3tX

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4QJKpLwmZ

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLG5alT7X0
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYtU98Zioy
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOqgWdppLz
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqSj8GPdT6
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BrcLJ3pS
things.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MXN2U908V

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wka3jvCs1

She started to approach the entrance of the bar; looking over at Leo’s table423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y4seJ3zeD

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjU8CCvfG
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomvpZNV5ca
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBdVEk8wFr
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJGGquR1xl

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfFIkkNPHv
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZqYLvZ6SH

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAATWvm4b3P
cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she looked down at the table. She pressed423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYcCDWIG8U
her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q3cCtPuNg

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCW8g7rwjR
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUJ0oZGyWX

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r3ws0sv5K
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVyoIlonCT

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMNXan6VWM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaylRryt3fC
“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolmwhN6S0
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP7Z7bpJV5

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S6z8cxR4F
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmAVmdk8RG
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlhgT4QSgo
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EQYEdGSzf
sincere.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpUIBkjnk

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa64sLM4BTr
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifASEnB6Co
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ31cWRYKB
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bneqKv8kQ
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38QJX4tWDi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskzwdXIYRv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FwiqlAy0E
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlNzPfCwYV
Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe35WB5ZJM
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULSjYtUDQ0

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugSPYayM3

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETEPDaWRVt
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Ajkqb30j
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkIY0Cif9t
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CO3RmNuEM
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GRgpgVTsf
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeBtl1jaQh
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLlm2InFW0
for it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgXoHCnIkL

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQh8hEOEmt
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgcmMeBTYj
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rwlGb4gYw
though she had woken up from a bad dream.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDxJ7eqmOE

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsG68Wn7EJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsncvsQFrFi
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGucrr0VMYL
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TlNvxLXXQ
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbbRABsPxM

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TuL7HDtiM
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOWWRVF7Hr
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFKAD0MUUi
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCY29Jre6J
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZHpOuWgoQ
herself.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm1hIuruxE

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxBHgmXG6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqAZnC7pfu
Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1B3gG0OyG
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiMg4zgBAf
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYmb53h7C9
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH3YG5BxfO
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxGL9SH9hF
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGYWwHb69W
notice her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4iRC3ot13

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn8J7oi5LW
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBFeajISVy
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRq2VzZBBB

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWZN7wZQkX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqpo4BfcqO
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iPJkyhAfI
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijQqdMBq6w
surprise.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7oNWPbMuC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvekoGZj5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO10IUKZQkQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBufUGheugq

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq8QutxA2q
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziBKoRpYlW
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsCMf5qwOk
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ2K1ZdH8t
“At the candy store.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhNBXC6Nn3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7LhjhdWTD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVd6uKerUh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUF0Yvxixk
“Oh, yeah, right,” said Leo as he gave a nod of his head. “I remember. You423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8UgrIIj32
bumped into that moving shelf.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWh6OGLGIh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpaXNP5Ygf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCcXWtA39Y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUir8QclWmS
“That was embarrassing,” said Miranda as she laughed. “I was in a rush.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtgKDM1eeU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVnI2YsCQv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJo1XM6sfv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJqxUrkCU
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9q8ueCTGA
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fyaqgGd6f
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1wzT4ZZTQ
forever.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxBGbPVPAy

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPgauVA8a
The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6mgwk1JZk
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkdhdbkzHa
their conversation ended here.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIzwouQL5V

“It was nice seeing you again,” said Leo. “Enjoy your drink.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMDBwA98co
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO4OEpZHdv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0KqKv0pCL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPtuP4HSq
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBi3JxCxE5
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzTSDXOfVQ
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC1XrzyjUw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa27Mgtb34u
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xponTEBxw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV9uD2Djq1
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhanO6N4p6
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLUelnJaT
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAIqMi7IwS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNgBH4XPNt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHdmgzxdw1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFbh0on6u7
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx0KBBKz7j
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14JMcQOkZ9
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SGdif7rU1
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZtGTTIU1o
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcXEiwBsa0
leave, but after she finished her martini.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJHAyQXRxJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCKVg51qDK

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11t9uvvtJW
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnH4v99NSv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWcBSS9xP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLHIbtEI2g

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRkkFA0TP
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoPFv1d9Ms

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHuhZUTAzZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGY6aCLiYa
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMT5JBcLIe
Kim’s shoulder.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzexp9FtNkY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPVGREDkSy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDK31lRnN9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYYi392qWJ
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsECwFRqPGy
idea. We should get out while we can.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydrPzo0OkO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ8ErcWMmF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjGcI7Q3Oh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUPNnXngN1
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8kLS11ZhW
the conversation. Let’s go.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwxcj0aONr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI1pXvwSnr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4EeI517ei
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqAQOw9AFb
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHeOu7GQdc
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdmL9Ivzv
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCokZQpSsJ
were able to see Leo’s table.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopbk3HMJwz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6Mvuixn0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMlQXP1j8a
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIAZ3s1add
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiklcMjhDj
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlzxRf9Mza
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoyUtx7Pa3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdiFZ98Ts
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Ct8d5PIU
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvPm1OUvSR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEemOYIzrx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVACClR5TLR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNF2djzTtR
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKNPK402q2
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiewFIYBk0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpehieXyX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uHFQv0GEQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxZaC9b9I4
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkbRJIK5M0
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlhVzgBth7
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFZ6661Rq
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PWz0zyDrz
counter in anticipation.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkuhnpQvrk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoh1jFN6BX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMWYTbZCrw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJcCeOVrSC
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPMI3xQVL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObnwhSxFuI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9gENAilK1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhGr6gFIK2
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yKAKDv73B
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WvzYurhKk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27ltxAzI9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0NloNa3eA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdGVpbpKhc
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF00JixY3Y
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFGNMSklHX
head.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWSTPVf7t7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSt952xLG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOVjebcHFg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGXYb5eKr6
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvd4Zfanbd
not at that intimate level.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVCqCBnYJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSPnc1AII5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdOywbSSZg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkDELt5bUa
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTj7anztX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqo517DG2Q
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHxfP2FZR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTXhRgeIy0
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxp7IR97fH
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFUl9fo2oW
he was being friendly to me.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLdGeWnAmY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqdErWML9k
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiBI6rqKnz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yxVXHTPOC
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGltHOLjsf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti9U04lUiB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaB5WUlPWi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRtmTHj9Se
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJso8WBPG4
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbkQ2uAgEI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f0KNLuCnp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuatY6jZpx0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdaYDTXbor
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOCaf7cn9D
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILCmLoksZ
counter.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7yGrSUejT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8OgkywXJ3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmYZFLSiL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGJHj1QnRS
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCVZLeUcV
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw2pG9lBlx
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0jxv0o107
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGtSAkiN8q
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeLYdtEhgU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKSYPhjP0v
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9SSg3c9n
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6FNY6Nt1n
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX0IScBmAv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM3usi8geE
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprisIPLXah
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxNrg0i8in
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLAWphrZVV
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ67titpZi
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs5yAbatan
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWroMVvZofy
that was different from Carly’s.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0u1qMFjVT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWar5U50ZV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwSmENQ3IQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEyA2UMJPT
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHssq11OwPl
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4QG8CwYvZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDlv5xmN6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDfB87Y7Aw
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z8Zxx78KK
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYhdozUfo3
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIIgmjvxFX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFGz9R2xIm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJm4GwIL3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy8ytMG1DV
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYp6pxCDBQ
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ox2Ggg3fH
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDAF4JgQNj
doing here?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3GxkKuGoR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cSBPaA7q8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mgt1cESa
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SkHkNG4l9
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HevIYFccu
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKujgj19cW3
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KTU9OFHmL
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT5wJaFv45
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUF21mkFmF
surprised look.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRksdXg7EK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbjwsOZuqs
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M4hy8ECRH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w8OFf6Koc
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VvMbYn2xe
get her attention, but she thought better of it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtK0UAzRSF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCrPFVWhiX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBq8jejVM7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9pAb9c4G7
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gahwyUUWu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR604TmKCV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaRlZfOqTL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQw4S0CFN
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7kjSRieYG
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXQse6qz3i
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1kGJGEWB1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuXKS4KMz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCmk11uIN8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSCSZH5Sw
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx86awZZoTg
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe4TZime5y
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8F5AVaBoL
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZmRPn9LWp
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40r8UVOjY6
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1jqTd5h7d
the table.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmKqF4O6Ic
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZbtojMoH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c8ImmKu3R
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUcFZv0rd
“What was that about?” Eric asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvakwASpHd0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS8mHlFE1y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7hgp3rLsV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dFx4x5nAQ
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGN9t4Z40z
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbBQBHjL1r
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lHN6Qc0bQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJen7LZkPG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLexBvEXSqs
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bhPw7hfYC
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriJqYCmhyC
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdz7yA1NjR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExE6vfFeJJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsMq1SITl8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDextW6rHm7
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ295KU4lXA9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJw3Py6HXr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5wOO2XanB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXf5d9Wqy1
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKjz9BhnlN
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuceGM8Sn9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuwpRhRjKp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ifEyJurp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV1qogSAsJ
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a20FAhjnf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudeJPFdLei
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa4E0ECU9G
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUgeCyJtO0
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WlA8Q05w4
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmkR2gZVsX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRO8LXG2V2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH7p7RLRnY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkc4FCTLdz
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSsahfyL2o
said Marco.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVtSxE0xsL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQMCA1IZuw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx9zbGdBW0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwNDES7qCv
“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8Tl3kjQv
more handsome than you.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2wZiNop8G

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6X98rz7zQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxgQwosvcM
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrBFrflsZZ
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziDeXMIX83
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzL92f5EqS
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmklopJ0zZ
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5GXg3OIC
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQODsyyOE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiptetIv0N
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5vKFXui5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2sAVAuBFV
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidZhsxk0kT
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaPZGB5Syo
thinking about.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi2M0NowJG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwETVrwbpqo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZOgkOl8E
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjX8JMZwsj
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx7zpDmj7l
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7aqk75QtA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKgRGMryQw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3H66lN1Rg

brother’s face.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s6nT0pQl7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZE1CAc6yI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOJ3Ir0dzW
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl2HCswj1t
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIbGSKD6An
at Oliver.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrcW80Qcq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTrG5GhZWX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPk05rhsr

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP01SJmJrI

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXijFV8pQuA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnJ2fkPU4D
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeywpZDxZHl
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmN12ltgsK
heading out too.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFimWw9Ju
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EaKEpF0SA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsvEs1gKK6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIFKTT4KHt
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuaDPQmtSY
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY5ascvmsE
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T0PYlEsSi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKTlsBZQPi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W7liWFqLV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9VHqqj3xn
“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPIH702aQQ
way home.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKW3FVrVqt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMxmpHLSM8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KYlJiNjKe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0sQDx3qt
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh80OjIRNz
here.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcwaWBA48
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyIh8mWOM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaEUoaMe7d
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXst0hr5it
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHTIaSuJHA
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVgMoxo9lK
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMyNerz4wf
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi4Akg2YDA
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YHj7T8LML
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqhHc9BPq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTxMw2YBNv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1IrkT2bL0
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH3b1z3Np1
little longer.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwuTBPIO8z

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90cwcpDzY8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx68U2HVt5
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu84Kyd3Pps
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBw6cxkTzw

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MN9mhANok
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmeoDp2y4s
“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrxFFQ1s0M
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8u9MShYpm
get your number, Angel.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZMr8Ekzoy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKXyHdXcrS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWV42TLTe6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXFzmntQNS
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuVMeW6D6V
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnhtWVrBMW
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIdk5vIslA
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdShevmmbIV
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEUTTqe9wJ

difficult.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK23VNSAxT

Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKopd51DLX
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdLsUe6qx
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPdkVbK70
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY6Yec8DX1

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuQUSQ1fTy
much at all for a while.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfsRBIbQS

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXSd2qhzBI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijHB4iX09a
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVi4KW0UkZ
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUciY8V2fn
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxDoYkCJl

home.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSuPt4BFl

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4PkwVZfSf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduN0sr2uAH
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cFWjQ2Xdz
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvfti4q9of
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnicYA2iVF
Miranda might still be around.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw8ZtGWyAW

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53EUpNH0W3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevbXsVTXY
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9FpldABDO
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxcVLdonXY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJtrXydsno
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uCfWLLCjT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRQuHfqkwI
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1A2kGZc8
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhnbAlcV1l
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTMSzPskQK
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ofRqjcmc

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqgw4ZHNFX
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5DXhKF6Tt
they started to stand up.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tc5Sc7gDb

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMasJEB6lt3
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9LN8ftNZL

Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldA7wJRCP7
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4kgZFuL9Q
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSQQiYFUHj
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNfOLEiwE4
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMNOtrhDm4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeImBFzS2c
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo7Yn9S0H7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbryv6wVew
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDFN4fGlr
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbyxYgc6RJ
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9e5IvZfZJ
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGMlXaIUH8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl5xPqdJUq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mED9x1k9F
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaUdScsgcF
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3hfN9Ok83
seen us.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU4jfdPvsi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLoHDoKixV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgTArh7KmZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ju7lvUHFr
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQh6iLwWar
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk5kdkOxlV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU7MysCNZY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ426JXFlwYP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN4jBlkBw6
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn7SJ82bxA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyeWhqbXSC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb01cnmTg9c
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbigMXtyQY
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuFOyOA2Dw
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZeCw5u1tZ
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwg2mzuEuM
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7hLfzYG8
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXOxRhlWdv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziWzPm9OQu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeK0L9etMH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvlwSq5T7h
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbq4LnmQ9i
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7jnUbHSrS
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrmJ95hnzL
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8sIHiUoNx
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWSxtgd7ge
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSpGVL8mqd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDefrHESJh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VJvui09G5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNtit0SUr0
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6YrXFANFa
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSEvBIBny1

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MaCk78YTz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgePxw3A6W
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ054prf0zIk
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuaaolg9tm
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaskYwv3uE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRbqaEc88y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZM64WKHU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRXDH7RLBa
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7kuNR1isn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWQjTzQJ0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmVi3pOTkx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFADyQhpO0F
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeQV1RPo8
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZcNM2v9bG
this wasn’t over.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvpjXnfIzJ

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSk34en5RL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5skso2MBpM
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms8TGWx2at
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HImlyzAsJ
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y1UF0R1Bh

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Un9rUzwX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcL6kLPJ2q
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeBd3BnuG5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS6HaLj0B3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUDuMxKf1X
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZbvoKlPL
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn9XiSkA2c
favors," said Angel.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6vBFMJ7Ad
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOoMaQdfCW
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKhHnv4oN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7SW6HvUfa
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBK0K7kP9p
they been there?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDHHMgAHd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXWM61dby2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7tbaqtYmH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi8seqQBcf
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq33YMWLz9A
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoPC00sda9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSQUsKuexn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg7gEourKE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXjI84EmaX
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl548fAlQz1
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmn3n10pHN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTAsanPcKh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80eaEXkZer
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetIU2jO64K
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXblxouNun
so you've got to be careful from now on."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nKEhRnAOm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUzKXnqO1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYECq95nsn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo1xHTLR4z
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VYD8YCMPR
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuEXHJmE5p
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrKbJanIJt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREA6TXWbOH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q1Y4z07W2
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPd4rbZ6mh
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI4fQwIl7w
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxftjRD4R9J
night only.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqzy940Cgc

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsyMPcLz02
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMZgWWgGo3
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53I3lNYMTg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxrn6QUZ3d
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgHIVsKgKL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UMmBEzYxi
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEXqMR4Umo
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wNSs2GkI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuBBXANvB7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jog15bwXq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfVTcIjvBd
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBRXsebE0P
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTJeIKWmFa
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIWUW0yS3r
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTa31EOI2U
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGj86A9XM2
want one?”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oyuMLzFKh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCscqFNUrc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkFutLUrV0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz4ffbiUaM
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOLqHVltEq
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRcnY1Gycj
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQIJsn9ea
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZPx6qaglX
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlWADkNtdk
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfFW8FGL9a
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uL0RRk0bW
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbVLc1ESl

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDond6S3wkL
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhJy14Yxof
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzn2p9oKxY
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiR0aAW3aK
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11oFrw77WX

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRlrTgbTut
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQaAhBTlP
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOMeopGP9n
relief, it was Walters.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGEj30x4jV

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E12ioFZI6

“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZ4OhNpIP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACk5HLjfPn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GOG44rVUY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK0QEmQ7vm
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aRmXEp5qv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIwArNTBT7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CCESK13Fr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvUOtC4h7s
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibmBOivnyF
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKEDeGWAZG

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowDJyVzaXK
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzDl82tJjc
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRrs8JmIsC
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c2eamV4mc
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RLsIRwx2X
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPlxV39oiu
Lion?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvj9rpfFDY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw9B6PCTRh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrTDENSIPB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXnC5frz91
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKp2TjS86t
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyj5tzzCUO
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BHvwDOGOA
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPqtau29Z

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yHRCIiZWy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFm2iLg3b0
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡproQ2euCcV
