“Angel just ruined everything for me,” said Leo as he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9RnIMP8Ri
came to stand next to Eric by the bar counter.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIv9Fmn5lW

“Carly and I were supposed to run away together, but it’s like she caught on to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaSPKZAD5D
us.” Leo shook his head. “That’s why she stayed behind with Carly. She says she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfAn5MFtlu
doesn’t want Marco to suspect anything.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd166BY4fAT

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KvgUndcW1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG3tM9NU5E
Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Angel does have a point,” he said. “We don’t need311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0usaLeijwn
Marco knowing that the two of you are dating. He might tell his father, who, in311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcAFetRfbs
turn, will tell your dad. Well, you know how this vicious cycle goes.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTSURAbrU9
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDmkUx1hF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZftfRVjOC
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsTN2oanaw
Leo sighed. “You do have a point.” He turned to his cousin. “Go on. I know you311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPbPoOG2Rf
want to say it.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hnRn2JgGN

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqOfqwxre3

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZxiG2Mkzk
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBIBAA4o7

Eric looked at Leo, this time with a beaming smile on his face. “Of course,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JuxdeH4Uo
because that’s just how she is.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDERXtMxmsO

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93xypD6HkW
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnCwWmoE5m
“Can you stop smiling like that?” Leo looked irritated. Eric’s smile shone311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKvHRuN8Va
brightly like the sun. Leo felt blinded as he turned to look away. “You’ve had311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10aaNd3Igi

you the same thing, but it slipped my mind. It’s good that Angel thought way311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY8VPZIjLe

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRdtJ0BFGb

Leo felt dumb. None of that came to mind, and he felt like slapping himself for311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp1UhcT9Iv
being so stupid and careless. He hoped Marco wasn’t paying enough attention at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDMqNzFMr
first for him to realize there was anything between him and Carly. It seems he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUrnpRR0UZ
has Angel to thank, but Leo was too embarrassed to think of doing so.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90dIAYpjVz

Leo left the counter and found Carly where he had left her. She was slowly311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VOOqW4TnF
looking around, taking in the view of the place. There were bright bulbs311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPth2V3iwd
hanging over the area, and she apparently stood out with her beautiful dress.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpE8tPPWiG
If they weren’t around so many people, he wasn’t going to hesitate to kiss and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOznRPFIVG
caress her. He smiled at her instead and gestured with his head to her, saying311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89PnnldoAO
that they should join Angel and the others.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvI7wnKLJq

Trina and Kim stood by the fountain as they watched Leo approach the table311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLqCkq59yW
where Angel, Oliver, and the Asian man sat. Carly joined him soon afterwards.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqccjI8y9m

“How long do you think we’ll stay here until he decides to see his lover?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdNjixwWvS

“Good idea. Let’s wait for Eric at the counter. Leo looks like he’s checking to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW6bILcCjN

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5EcWVqWn9
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ziiijz44
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlROVXpkFj
Kim agreed with Trina. They continued to watch Leo as he made his way back to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2kP67OKju
the counter.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwlRPcStQd

Meanwhile, Miranda, who had been watching over the balcony, followed Leo’s311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUetPFdHXj
movements. She kept telling herself that she needed to get down there. If she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP4qGCsBqp
so much as stepped out of the room, no doubt Red Lion would have her head, and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpILZ3gpdFQ
whatever the meeting was all about, she wasn’t going to be a part of it.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VUjJ1suKs
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo2zDzsCuZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxb8f6KC5
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwtWrGN467
She huffed. If that was the consequence, she was going to have to deal with it.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEs2LnYWbb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5MVEm8HN9
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlp7pJeSCv
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRBW7gjVwW
Without giving much of a second thought, Miranda turned around and went back311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YE3ce42on
inside the room. The football game they were watching was on a half-time break,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYkqgmgLhl
and the three men were there, talking aloud about the game. She approached311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLMd0o8CzW
them, and to get their attention, she loudly cleared her throat.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhIs9FD2sq
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQMWxWW6z7
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKryv5cSv1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvZWSCTBpT
The three men all stopped talking and turned to look at Miranda. For a moment,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB0Lmr4ImZ
she gulped as her eyes landed on the terrifying face of Red Lion, who didn’t311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY13lCTIZHr
like the fact that she had disturbed them. She had to be quick with what she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUhCRaqaB6
wanted to say, as she was running on Red Lion’s patience.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3hvNQI7O6
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShkBzMOK9C
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkByutvfR9w
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx61RSBowL
“I’ll be stepping out for a bit,” Miranda announced.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkR5dYcDwg
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g2Nsbe5u4
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VAM2KkKeE
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hxksexZP
There was a brief silence in the room as the three men continued to look at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvcX5Rk2BE
Miranda, expressionless. Red Lion moved in his seat, and Miranda feared that he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJChaoSiPwn
would speak first.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNGm8IDd1c
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXRhT4BZIK
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRDnDwhdTK
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM45Skl6L9K
“I don’t think going out is the best thing to do right now,” he said. “We’re311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L0RJx6YFp
waiting on someone, aren’t we?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9sLDG9iRe

“Yeah, we are, but this person isn’t showing up anyway. You’ll let me know when311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO1KTmyexz

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GRhXgyKVc
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡontjfyQFCd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBBixkjop5
Red Lion continued to look at her. Walters now had a scared look on his face.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6nYJzozJ7
He wished he could intervene, but things haven’t escalated between the two, so311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsGCT2nWrC
it was hopeless to do so.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG3L08Qscz
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xzKgcXcF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsiK2LBSuj
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOdpZFBCr0
“Whatever,” said Red Lion as he leaned back on the couch. “You get back here in311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19kT1PKZ7C
thirty minutes. If our host gets here before you, you better hurry back when311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsen570zRB
Walters calls.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrjiffF5X0
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPlZldjiXd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZNe6gHJHQ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlONdL2PIf
Miranda felt relieved. She thought she wasn’t going to be let go so easily.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTfZQGhLzR
Moreover, the time Red Lion gave her was too little. However, she had to make311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUxl88omX5
use of this as much as possible, even if it meant seeing Leo down there for a311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE7z95cbbo
minute.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeHIHXVmy0

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTMU4HgzHS
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHdkz6me7D
“I will,” said Miranda. She didn’t waste any time as she made her way for the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLbnUpOz8i
door.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuWdPHtgqa
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobEfDk9KWN
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fO7lMgbGd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJll4rBDs7
As soon as she walked out of the room, Hugo turned to Red Lion and asked, “Are311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQsbIvd4y7
you sure letting her go out like that is a good idea? Our host can walk in at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sOsRmvIFu

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDii0X7D7t
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVyBNNAtFs
“True, but it’s better than her staying out on the balcony while we wait,” Red311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjhtb1BgKE
Lion answered. “If you ask me, I would step out too if it wasn’t for the football311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT15trNuy4R
game. But I was serious about my threat, so she better be here before he does.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzOR4t8ZiU

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ415JcEkr1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdczmMrJsG
Walters didn’t say anything as he briefly looked at Red Lion before looking up311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYqga2ImaE
at the TV. Red Lion wasn’t kidding when he said he was in a good mood, Walters311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gj2ZAo0n8
thought to himself. Knowing Red Lion, he wasn’t going to let Miranda walk out311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJquex05d
of here. Something must have really put Red Lion into a good mood today, or311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMy9WAK3T

Leo and Eric came to join the others at the table with their drinks, and Eric,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizU9I6Cic1
on the other hand, carried a plate full of nachos and cheese. Oliver was so311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgvDfg2qZa
delighted to see the plate of snacks that he couldn’t wait to eat them. Angel311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ppGhnKSan
had to warn him not to eat too much, or else he might have a bad tummy ache the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtqAdi5x78

“I wouldn’t waste my breath warning the guy,” said Eric as he sat down on the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyybgz1sVc
empty chair next to Angel after serving her a soda. “It’s a Friday, and he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmkee8YqS7

Oliver, who sat on Angel’s other side, didn’t answer him as he took his mango311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdlTBHyheT
milkshake and put the straw in his mouth. Angel, on the other hand, looked at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1KpCzdVK9
Eric and shook her head.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTV6UMb7oC

“Hey, Marco,” said Angel as she turned to look at him, looking over Oliver, who311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmig9wfydNq

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2K4n8WVG

“Oh, yes, I’ve come here several times,” answered Marco. “I usually come here311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGpZhR9ZhM
with dad on business trips. Inheriting the family business can be tiring,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhnqxd5iFC
especially when they’re showing you the ropes. You just have to be there, even311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5W8u0AEp

“Wait, does that mean I might inherit mum’s business of running the massage311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm4tQnRcnw

they all burst into laughter.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39S9EvGffN

All the grown-ups at the table looked at the young boy, somewhat surprised at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtqf3OjtPy
his answer. They all stayed that way for a brief moment before Leo stretched311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC22Hlj17k
out his hand to get a nacho.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YSyKf75bG

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMmGNH4M6

“Just like Leo said, a very wise response,” said Marco as he looked at Oliver311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad9CrPLLhd
admirably. “Hopefully, you do inherit, and we will become business partners in311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOM7gzR4jx

Leo slowly stopped chewing as he looked at Marco. He didn’t know if answering311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04HAoH9RkK
Marco would be a good idea, but he only gestured with his head to acknowledge311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CunVaOK12

Angel was sipping on her drink when her eyes wandered away from the area in the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk75DpZQAO
bar and to the fountain. She had a feeling Trina and Kim had been standing311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOafbJhgf
there for a while. When she found there were only a couple looking at the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZmGXnYOqm
fountain, she started to worry. Could they have given up and left? Kim didn’t311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKbI1VDeeT
seem like the kind of person who would give up on anything, Angel thought.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLLbJW3sPD

She was lucky enough to see Kim and Trina approach the open bar, and she had a311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbT1qUhFHc
clear view of them. Leo sat with his back facing them, but she feared Eric and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbVy6cq7Kg
Oliver would see them. Angel had to think of something to turn their eyes311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHEnlwlD1x
elsewhere. What should she do?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJP4cWJ1MN
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKoPOFkheY
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRXVRouQre
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6slhwo4Oy
She turned to Oliver, and he seemed distracted as he was eating the nachos311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFAF7pU1i9
hungrily. Turning to Eric, she found him somewhat staring at her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aG64fq3cH

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzDpp8VE0
“Oh, nothing,” he said, somewhat looking a little embarrassed that he was311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91TfwCiApj

Angel noticed Kim and Trina enter the bar area through the corner of her eye.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89Bh3zntn
She couldn’t turn to look at them. That would only get Eric to look, and he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJjkzlHc6V
would spot them eventually. She had to keep eye contact with him for as long as311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YMiYZ0KIc

Leo felt like throwing up in his drink as he had a clear sight of Eric flirting311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oivv3pmkg
with Angel. He wished he could tell them to get a room, but he knew better than311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSH36OMt8V
to say it when he was flirting with Carly some time ago.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFYuuI6EQY

Angel saw through the corner of her eye that Kim and Trina had entered the bar311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUHtnunU6l
area and were now looking around for a table on the other side. It was best for311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLShSZ6nakA
them to get a table where they couldn’t be seen. As soon as they were out of311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo2M1qowAR
sight, Angel couldn’t help but feel relieved. She went on ahead to pick a311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP1XPq0JDW
nacho, dip it in cheese, and eat it.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IO2EYvOdU

“If we weren’t on opposite sides, I would thank Angel for distracting him. I311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGO82L8zAO

Kim didn’t argue there. She somewhat agreed with Trina. She looked toward the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLV6HUZPbS
bar. Luckily enough, it was circular in shape with a bar shelve in the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFM5N6BiYL
circumference, blocking the view of the other side. Therefore, she could see311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOCAqmZOuu
neither them nor them doing the same. Moreover, she could easily go over to the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIzHfRonbw
counter for a drink.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdS54whKO

“We should really think things through, Kim,” said Trina as she looked over at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpFyuFL0BR
the bar, realizing that the others were out of sight. “Is staying here really311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQsjX0nYBU
worth it? I doubt if he is going to meet his lover with the company that he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P0qfHoi9p

A sudden laugh came out of Kim’s mouth. Tears almost filled her eyes. “You’re311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqUoL8507v

Trina raised an eyebrow. “Will you? I know you, Kim. Leo has been the only man311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHmlP3rYS3
you’ve been in love with since we were kids, and him breaking up with you and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplTlN6unZx
calling off the wedding was a heavy toll. I don’t think you’ll be able to let311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWCES2j4V

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAgOjoXM5G

Trina swallowed, thinking over her words before she spoke them out. “All I’m311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxszwLPjwK
saying is that it’s time to let Leo go. Thinking about him and his new lover311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq9V4EexlY
isn’t going to do you any good.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeITCYR2zf

Kim sighed. She stretched out her hand over the table and beckoned to Trina to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFkTrDrxDY
give her hers. Trina did likewise, and Kim held her friend’s hand tightly.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7epzkMi2j

Trina quickly stood up and left the table. Kim looked on at her best friend and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe7wdEF3hy
knew she had pissed her off. She wished she could assure Trina that she was311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rI98bQxwt

Miranda rushed out of the elevator and ran into the garden like a mad woman.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUFE4E3D4C
Along the way, she pushed people aside. To some, she apologized, but to others,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYZZvCVacj
she didn’t even give them a second thought.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOqssowq45
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQDtJYUPWx
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IBbbJp7Hw
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BP1xQUoen
There was only one way to the garden, and that was through the western wing311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDduQNNBfw5
since the doors to the east wing weren’t open, said a woman she had met in the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJzddVyIYD
elevator who was going downstairs and who had lived in the hotel for a long311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7xmWFxwUm
time. Thankful for the information, Miranda had to rush. She only had a few311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4YcMsdyP

She had just bypassed the fountain, heading towards the open bar, but then she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylDyefEz0Q
stopped herself short. She had to see where Leo was sitting first; he might as311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhC1vmOKV5

she wasn’t too careful.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkZXQznKK3

She didn’t have to look any further, as she saw Leo at the table with Carly311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh9p93FFMU
beside him along with other people. Leo was holding the floor for the time311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDhEX40Lk6
being, and Miranda noticed how everyone laughed at what he said. Carly, who sat311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgobS2T1c2I
next to him, looked admirably at him. Miranda huffed. If only she could figure311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtxezlOP1a
out a way to get the two apart, but now wasn’t the time to think about such311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuUcFQBc1G

Miranda walked over to the counter and sat on the stool. Immediately, the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8uyq7Oo7q
bartender attended to her, and she ordered a martini. The bartender went on311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzWhYE6Vfv
ahead to make her drink as Miranda slightly turned around on her chair to look311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opneFZw1d
at the table behind her. She had a clear view of Leo, and a smile came across311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIIItylv5s

He and I had a competition to see who could drink more tequila. He passed out311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fhtxIStPo
before he could take the last glass. I won, but at a cost. I puked in the car,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n0cYv8h5s

Marco, Leo, and Eric now turned their eyes on Angel with curious looks. Her311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsi8ahjMoy

her lips together before looking at everyone, including Oliver.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCfsdQGCA

The adults turned to look at Oliver, surprised. Oliver also looked back at them311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Ew6gxLgq
as though he were judging them for giving him such a look.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAgtmolQ1h

Angel and Carly burst into laughter. Marco and Leo chuckled, while Eric looked311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wubpf6Hn8
like he didn’t know what to do with his brother anymore.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUehPX7rHPc

“Well, no, I’m being really genuine here. Angel carries a certain level of311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HDJNI3Q1M
elegance that I can describe as classy. I don’t know, but there’s much more to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vZDaZ7tR

Everyone was silent except for Oliver, who loudly sucked at his smoothie311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NaQsroiu9
through the straw. Angel found herself looking at Marco with her cheeks feeling311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2v3eZjzoX
like hot coals slapped across her face. Marco turned from Leo to Angel, and the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBLLi3aTPf
corner of his lips rose to a smile. This time, his smile was gentle and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXl7qDhme3

Leo swallowed, as he didn’t know how to respond to Marco’s statement. He saw311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECkEnVJGD
Marco shift his attention to Angel. As much as Marco was somewhat right from311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg11cCLZaFO
Leo’s perspective, he did his best to try and not take it to heart. For some311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvRfjhORAw
reason, he couldn’t stand the way Marco looked at her, and it bothered him a311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N0EnViOg1
little. He started to wonder if Marco really liked Angel.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWne5ovgfi

Eric felt like taking Angel by the hand and dragging her away from Marco. He311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9L4Tlk8T
shifted uncomfortably in his chair, and he thought of bringing something up to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQojQgJ1Wsv

Carly couldn’t help but stare at Angel. What Marco said resonated with her, and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluH1UQtTsV
as she stared at her sister, she could see it clearly. She always felt there311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm6KlKkXbR
was something about Angel that she couldn’t put her finger on, and it seems311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEAab1leLi
Marco hit the nail right on the head. Carly has not always looked up at her311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08154tKcNW
sister because she was older, but she always carried with her a certain essence311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgLZTn5uK8
that Carly’s been following blindly for years. She knew she could never be like311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIrjPB7FlD
Angel, but that essence always showed brightly, and Carly always admired Angel311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3CqYx9ydE

Leo picked up the empty bowl and started to make his way to the bar counter.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwfgjCc796
Oliver started to say something to keep everyone busy. When Leo was just a few311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoAu72eMgK
feet away from the bar, it was then that Angel jerked upright in her seat as311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRN3DxT9vp
though she had woken up from a bad dream.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26OGiEHFMM

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhLWSw9sTB
“I’m good, thanks,” Angel replied, assuring Eric with a smile. She turned to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHK4ymxPhF
Leo, who was heading to the counter. Kim was obviously on the other side, so311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZTFGe10Vp
Leo wouldn’t see them. She was worrying over nothing.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc0dGbpT0J

Miranda quickly turned back in her seat to face the beer and wine bottles on311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvx0RoYgND
the shelf behind the bar counter as she saw Leo approach. She swallowed as she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlYMXx0i6
felt her hands start to shake. A debate arose in her head. Should she say311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQD12Yzr6
something to him when he comes over? Why should she? It’s not like he can311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvthWfFjK
remember that they met at the candy store. I am just being silly, she said to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpO8tRSqnL
herself.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lRa6VdeMJ

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXfDdtAng8

Leo finally reached the counter, and he happened to stand next to Miranda. When311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJya8NxJF
Miranda saw him through the corner of her eye, she felt frightened like a mouse311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoW7DLChW1
that scurries away when it sees the enemy. However, she tried to sit still in311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSGP7Rr3J8
her seat so as not to draw any attention to herself. She looked down at the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIICBWx4ywp
glass in front of her and slowly took it. She tried to control the trembling in311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoPAxj3dzz
her hand and hoped that she wouldn’t spill the drink over or that Leo wouldn’t311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpEneENasS
notice her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcbwocDWWq

Leo ordered another plate of nachos, and his eyes diverted to the side. His311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU3Hz0aviP
eyes fell on the woman beside him. He had a funny feeling that she looked311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdv8wOrQi
familiar, but he didn’t know if he should ask. Still, it was better to mind his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VsrjciuD

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh4YuYJMzi
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQxyahlBj2
Miranda felt his eyes on her, and automatically, her head turned to the side to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoe3HAJboW
look at Leo. After realizing what she had done, her eyes went wide with311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbIuwvZcaV
surprise.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUH1rPwMPO
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI95r5AIsxU
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dffdhzSEp

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlr5rFN5WD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5PjEBK2Yv
“Ah, yes,” said Miranda. Her surprised look seemed to have worked in her favor.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4cdAim5SB
“At the candy store.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiI89lSpSy
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8RO3Mq5s
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIj49i2RdF

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpjFHh8AiA
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEBw2fhrti

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO3zrZ8pEE
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvTA11tGd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmvYfWAfZS
Leo gave her a friendly smile and nodded his head, showing that he understood.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomJiG476PZ
His gesture made Miranda almost want to shoot out of her stool like a rocket.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOume0hjfPQ
Her heart fluttered, and she wanted to hold on to that beautiful feeling311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Dm5PHIXD

The bartender came back with the plate refilled with nachos and cheese. Leo311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUQFsMyjbA
took it and thanked the bartender. He turned to Miranda, and she knew that311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrc8pEVXKl
their conversation ended here.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSIbDgmdlD

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nqQlOzwJ1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0hvR2oTzB
“Thanks,” said Miranda. She didn’t know what to say next as Leo took his leave.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUSN2Yz0db
The thought of being just a stranger to him didn’t sit well with Miranda. She311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsnnT3jzAk
wanted to be close to him. How will she be able to do that?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdqIHLQTZV
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88R3aNM6G7
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHclyUoA5QP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ZBwf7AiM
Her eyes fell to the table Leo was heading to, and she saw Carly talking with311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoPUJ5PLFn
so much glee. She didn’t seem to have a care in the world, and it hurt Miranda311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHCSTMzqR
that she should be the one close to Leo and not her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BjzHz1qjd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5qqZDnG22
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhcyntYuAk
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQMmi6bDn
Carly turned her eyes to Leo, who was approaching the table, and she couldn’t311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblk01DnsU7
help but smile at him. Miranda was smart enough to turn her head so that Carly311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJKef8W7u
wouldn’t see her. Miranda knew her time was up, and she was guessing that she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZQ6oY88bo
might have overstayed at the bar. It was time to go back upstairs. She thought311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz3yO4uUB1
of looking back at Leo, but it wasn’t worth the risk. It was best for her to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PRaM63XvX
leave, but after she finished her martini.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs2sjqKvZ9

A few seconds before that, Trina came back to the table with two bottles of311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgygs6wTIW0
cider. She sat herself down and placed one bottle in front of Kim.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWarmb4V9BG
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBsaUyMJ0T
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j45DGY8Nc

“Sounds like a good idea,” said Trina. “Even if we were to see him walking out,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyHFBv8GF
it would be impossible for us to see where he would go.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurPE75o2um

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrKs7wVRL
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsbqMui5NM
As the two women stood at the table, Trina stopped Kim by placing her hand on311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb7JIL0ZVA
Kim’s shoulder.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEu1ivdQhK
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOiy5dv7Ag
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yBzT3qFOm
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eELHwHDF3
“I know you’re tired of me saying this,” said Trina, “but doing this is a bad311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54gObZFcDZ
idea. We should get out while we can.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFSBo1zXHy
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWK0fQTP6r
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAATkwV8pL
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4M6d7aGTZ
Kim scoffed. “I gave you my word earlier, didn’t I? There is no need to repeat311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc3nqLFvSx
the conversation. Let’s go.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JfHtlMVGr
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW0ubRo7Wb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcxJAT7taK
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHJRXl14gl
Trina’s hand fell away from Kim’s shoulder as Kim started to make her way to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicdIgIntuM
the other side of the bar. Trina followed her, and coming back the way they311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkFGwvstUZ
came, they stopped at the counter. From the angle at which they stood, they311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0CwoAtBIG
were able to see Leo’s table.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgzDDbz8CR
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnfhSrlsmj
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlRvCrowzP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMw14TEnn
The two of them sat on the stools, facing each other. Trina had her back facing311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnK6pSL936
Leo’s table, shielding Kim from plain sight if the worst happened.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOa8A83jf1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeco0eF1Dt6
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH5ZeLQ5WF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPp5HcaWj
“I can’t see so much, so you’ll be telling me what’s going on,” said Trina.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF8FUy9bmF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ26ib5RyLN
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbCLgVak1U
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRsSWZuvR
“You’re overthinking things,” said Kim. “You can take a peek and still won’t be311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YAif4vtOo
seen. Oh, look, Leo is coming over.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpelf28Ll7
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MRIVzpDED
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREFELMBbQ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxMXxM3Jw
Trina turned her head slightly to see Leo approach the other side of the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YUiXxCqDg
counter. He wasn’t looking in their direction, so they were at ease as they311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMAWNk9NVJ
looked on. They saw him ask the bar tender for another refill of nachos. He311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQdsDgDgaC
soon looked at the woman beside him, and Kim held Trina’s hand on the bar311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkcV1e7ihP
counter in anticipation.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJpuoqKTp0
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTQWsu88BY
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxVgdAtIJ5
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL8VoVm1wY
“Could it be her?” Kim asked, almost squeezing Trina’s hand.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo3XBTfOrE
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmBdkVYieR
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr115atJiL
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoiOKEPD0B
Trina looked at the woman beside Leo as she turned to look at him. She shook311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiktDXk9uk
her head. “I don’t think so,” said Trina.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5dQr1IrMX
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywW3gG9cyZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcZX9R2RAK
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTsDZgx3wq
They watched as Leo talked with the woman briefly, and as soon as he took the bowl311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3DcBYYrDI
of nachos, he addressed the woman and went back to his table. Trina shook her311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vC1e1NOhk
head.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrvWFXAF2
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYuvzHVe3o
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nC0KzN2WJ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHf3MLBtEo
“She’s not the one,” said Trina. “They looked like they knew each other, but311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QkhW31eq
not at that intimate level.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiXcPrf1uP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIK7FeVdPe
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQvsoWoxPk
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7CFq4IgdB
“Are you sure?” Kim asked. “Because he was smiling at her.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROS76xusB0
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFBDHXIrZc
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXgcFYy87V
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ocKXhxPF
Trina rolled her eyes before turning them at her friend. “Does every smile he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uB4usX6g3
gives everyone mean that he is flirting with them?” she asked. “He looks like311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7RENJMVVt
he was being friendly to me.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAptBpMkzJ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG43QKOa7BF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZaDOhejSh
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSPNydyI5
“What if she’s the one and they were communicating in some way through code?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhT2FpYs3W
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9XGzLSQ20
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO3Xlz6VXx
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMNPm1aefd
Trina raised an eyebrow at her. Kim knew she was taking things a little far and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo7FDmzr2Y
looked the other way, taking a sip from her bottle and feeling embarrassed.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYAKr5NLSd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pSpmpL7mi
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1giJQFWNfA
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RuM0UmYW
Angel stared at her empty glass of soda, concluding that she needed to refill.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwEKUEdr94
She excused herself from the table and started to make her way to the bar311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZZjVciqlc
counter.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjlEiLM7ZH
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ge61482TD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsMQCn1nb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZGGJNhaKq
Miranda finished her martini in one huge gulp. She placed the glass on the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrLydqifTC
counter, leaving the bill under the glass. After she stepped down from her311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklehfmbL7Q
stool, she turned around and came shoulder to shoulder with someone.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmpdBDOIMb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOPrzuiauO
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVXkfpHmmx
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpAPrvIcxw
“Oh, sorry about that,” said a beautiful woman in a stunning red velvet dress.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQVnm7Msv
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJwXowtXsA
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7js6Dyj4mZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPtEPDAXJ4
Miranda almost panicked, for she thought the person she had bumped into was311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLU5f3FXzE
someone familiar. However, looking closely, she realized that it was Angel,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaRPqEHUUS
Carly’s older sister. Miranda knew Angel didn’t know about her, but Miranda311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrhutwVHue
knew who she was. In the past, when she and Carly used to work together, Carly311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa42SBP5Mi
had shown Angel’s pictures to her a few times. Miranda acknowledged that the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbi1SWF5bS
sisters had looks that could kill, but there was something about Angel’s beauty311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6FWPAq1K5
that was different from Carly’s.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGbVATQULp
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr9smllwHd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEsYW2IsYE
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw458CUolW
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Miranda.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5EyPqZxGt
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylHxgFwa9t
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K80yi1xIH
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3zFtqmoLf
Angel smiled at her before turning her attention to the bartender. Miranda311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0Cji56PK
turned around to head out of the bar when she froze in her tracks. She felt311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9l1sAlFTi
caught in a trap as she looked ahead. This is bad.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsXlKtOo4t
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjFm92Tu16
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzNBFuL01
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9giTvPoLc
Carly’s eyes fell on Miranda as she looked over to the bar to check on her311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTfmwYMI92
sister. Miranda happened to be right in her line of vision. Carly’s eyes311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURLTFb37WO
widened with fear as thoughts started to run through her head. What was Miranda311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNhBIWOBBl
doing here?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhkrz8Xr78
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXdUdP4l7z
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBgjE8RMe
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBqot8PExx
Angel thanked the bartender after refilling her glass, and when she turned311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr13nRQYpgh
around, the woman whom she bumped into stood still like a statue. Angel read311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W64GrC1y0
her body language, and she realized that the person seemed to be in some kind311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PlqGX6Uwd
of shock. She noticed the woman looking towards the table where her sister and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW2ZrmzkEQ
the others were. Moreover, she saw Carly look at the woman with the same311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRqJ8Q98Qf
surprised look.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR12lytIom8
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCgCQqhunN
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtl9zTzSZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktcN3LxkPD
Angel raised an eyebrow. She was just about to touch the woman’s shoulder to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5N2B4Mwbc
get her attention, but she thought better of it.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZldBDOGp7F
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvVr1SzaGF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkIDyRAuN4
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqO2lN9I1A
“Hey, are you okay?” Angel asked.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyE15YZhUF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbAaZeiQe0
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTl1qJSLR4
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdubptKaxwT
Miranda jolted back to reality and turned to look at Angel. She nervously311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhu4YCWMlQ
chuckled. “Uh, yes, I’m fine, thanks,” said Miranda. “I thought I saw someone I311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IyQOqIRFe
knew, but I was mistaken. I should go now.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3ptgwn8J
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXXwlJRTCh
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNF0hoTN87
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYcBfADYZ7
Before Angel could say anything, Miranda quickly made her way out of the bar.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoDeKzY90g
Those who were wondering what took Angel so long turned to the bar counter and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOXkJaRHlW
saw the woman quickly walk away from Angel. Angel looked at the young woman,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx1BLl53tm
and she turned her attention back to the table, specifically on Carly. Carly311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPkEFJTadr
didn’t turn her head right away as she looked at her sister. She didn’t want to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmDy7NRX1D
look like she knew Miranda, and it was best to act natural. Angel went back to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnznXafGXSl
the table.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm50Felaq2
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCxpalquUV
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4QyKt9ujY
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rYa1WPFUZ
“What was that about?” Eric asked.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84RODgz295
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xkHsD7KyM
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccfyxU1XIU
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D9X1DBMlK
“Oh, she thought she recognized someone, but she was mistaken,” said Angel as311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uSjJmBuo1
she sat back down on her seat, placing her glass on the table.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlDYEV7Lz2
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslvB1CB1BP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp2Yh6e9iE
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a0IRbehXM
“She must have meant me,” said Leo. Carly looked at him, surprised at his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbWXokhU0r
statement. “Remember the time we went to that candy store a few days ago?” He311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmWARa2GmO
looked at Eric. “She was the one who bumped into that moving shelf.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM2AA6D5Bz
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj2l0SIavJ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKFRUR4oJZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnxgvKyVm4
“Oh, I see,” said Angel. “But she said she didn’t recognize anyone.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqX9YVrUYA
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UJnx7AkVw
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4XfGycxvU
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yCJITzm5w
“Obviously she was nervous because of Leo again,” said Eric. “I bet the reason311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6MK4njzPK
she bumped into that shelf was because of your scary looks.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zp7FkJUOC
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBuAmIj5Wv
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRhF4bEQn5
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8xrtY1OLL
Angel shook her head. “Not this again,” she said.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLSCbG7JBI
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs4n9Tjqjw
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7AbdITTAY
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YBBRIyOwe
“Mind you,” Leo started to say, “when I went over to the bar, I actually talked311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkrXV9rUv
to her. She didn’t seem nervous to me.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg4OswMsYC
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S4roVKeKd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9uwTs4EFm
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPzi6kAC6p
“She obviously fell for your good looks, not the scary one as Eric had put it,”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGANJ6iKIWQ
said Marco.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCHBYUsvjJ

“You really are a bully, Eric,” said Oliver. “It’s not Leo’s fault that he is311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mlc2FAamS
more handsome than you.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBN4PCJtC

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhdW8iIdRM
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hRCoJ5Kg4
Marcos and Angel laughed at Eric. Eric, on the other hand, felt like hitting311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OniJggjbN
his brother on the head. Carly had been silent the whole time as thoughts ran311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3szB5qt7Xt
through her head. Miranda actually had a talk with Leo, and that scared her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM7TKxgmK9
Could she have told Leo that she was also there at his bachelor party?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO3zwYDu12
Moreover, they met days ago at the candy store, and she finds herself here at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56LWvhUVi
the hotel. Why did Carly feel like she was suddenly in jeopardy?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Ejlk6bmf
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XIbNKEBBi
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV23CmYKJN9
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSOeaBQsCj
Angel wiped away the tears from her eyes, and she soon looked at Carly, who311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W3MM5uCpN
looked lost in thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what her sister was311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZJoLMOPpx
thinking about.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrm0963gB8
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ50OktXVI
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpunHM81MRA
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsvCMGIOzg
“You, Oliver, have really cracked me up today,” said Marco as he continued to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRjxkldmMS
laugh. “I can’t wait for us to hang out like this again.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJRq9HGgJA

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrPNGm5Zv

Oliver beamed at Marco happily, while Eric felt like slapping that look off his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndooUtQGOP
brother’s face.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52beHMS2r
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oXOwqOnJ9
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiunpEeDQsD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ663NhrbalV
“Yeah, Oliver has really cracked me up too,” said Angel as she turned to smile311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP5YxCOLDH
at Oliver.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr8dz5V1UR
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QaHmhz4sg
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDHjDbBuTK

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUucq9gPAUD

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzwwAQIiZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgDspGT03c
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDZ7Wh1PhH
“Don’t you think it’s also getting late?” Angel asked the others. “We better be311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNE8d09xcb
heading out too.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjXba6wOJV
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi4yeHrZUa
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoDXj3TPUB
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76WzAphBJ9
Leo gave Angel a look. He still didn’t get the chance to be alone with Carly.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG1h6g27oJ
When Marco said he was leaving, he thought he had the opportunity. He turned to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDc2i2Ex4
look at Carly beside him, and she seemed to look lost in her own world.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiRCHLi3Hg
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HSrMV2OR8
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sshrjsHx1

“We should,” said Oliver. “I want us to pass somewhere and get ice cream on our311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTG96FggSB

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebKtzacDWs
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWWIS2BXJg
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJwbWDJ5Av
“Uh, wait a minute,” said Leo. “Some of us would like to spend a little time311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPDP8FV8NS
here.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRamUWQSQo
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRC0y3jAbp
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHwZOiup2Z
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojTdUCkHy5
Angel threw Leo a look, knowing what he was playing at. She wanted to leave311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFY12KbpEE
because the possibility of Leo seeing Kim and Trina was high, and she didn’t311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuCzYJUN4b
want to risk it. Moreover, if Kim does see Leo spending his time alone with311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOV6KNCp1z
Carly, she will realize without a doubt that Carly is Leo’s lover. If only she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVQ0p8T2H3
could tell Leo without making him so upset, she thought to herself.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbtv9nMcxf
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy6KgfK52Z
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0BErIfgFo
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrewbgO7b
“Leo’s right,” said Eric, looking over at Leo. “I would like to stay here for a311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJnaT7X5Pp
little longer.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdHiSS6Zfn
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswnQ4jXkYq
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRYaSlxbHy
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBwelPblx0
Angel sighed, but not the kind that anyone would notice. It looks like she lost311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOuvBDHR8i
this one. She just has to find a way to work around it.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0MJkQ2z7r

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5G4lqH09

“Well, then I’ll leave you to enjoy yourselves,” said Marco as he stood up from311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswSPCsxeR
his seat. “Before I forget,” he said as he turned to Angel. “I would love to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0zvsueat
get your number, Angel.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqEaphSGp7
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVth8Ga4MDb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQPGYZ3o1a
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7fXUHIIRB
Angel almost forgot about that, and she blushed immediately when Marco asked her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29GVFTPasZ
She watched him pull out his phone. He turned his eyes on her, giving her his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi8s1szMrM
full attention. Angel hesitated for a bit before giving out her number, and he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDRhLlJc4
typed it down on his phone. Eric and Leo looked on, wondering why Marco looked311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ55ZuqeTDo
so eager to get her number. Carly wasn’t paying much attention, so she couldn’t311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RkICHB2kW

“I really enjoyed my time with you,” said Marco, pocketing his phone away. “We311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGTEI5He9Y
should do this sometime soon.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVeZx0iqC
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrilMyCjBH
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdotSH2R1SY
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsil5rkCwt4
“Sure,” said Eric, putting up a smile for Marco, which proved to be very311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoH6UjIVU0
difficult.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVAtXYXrCm
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgqPTp7WR
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQV7nl17I
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cnEVkpzr
Marco wished everyone a good night, and everyone responded back. Even Carly,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15RAQREHtg
who looked absent-minded, said goodnight. Before leaving, Marco gave Angel a311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFXpXsthVo
wink, telling her to expect a message from him anytime soon. Angel only smiled,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzQKaYEN5D
feeling embarrassed that he said that in front of everyone.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jLTeshVF8

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa3USkFZzy

Leo turned to Carly, and it was then that he noticed that she hadn’t talked311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyShCFZOTAS
much at all for a while.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvb9TGp82P
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSNTO0DnHf
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3nhYzn0lu
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeRS5O73eN
“Hey, Carly, are you okay?” Leo asked.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYEUvhIXD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U2tZ4MjSS
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNlKUlzoqD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyfV2xnCFY
Everyone turned to look at Carly. She tried to hide it with a smile, telling311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq8wxr3aIX
Leo that she was alright. Angel couldn’t point out why her sister looked low,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCp2rc141k
but she knew she could use this to her advantage.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSW4kA0aye
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEnB7OIpF5
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNxendYe31
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxt45RSmJo
“You look tired, Carly,” said Angel. “Maybe we should call it a night and head311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowm7plvHLt
home.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa37iEpe85h
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERlLsHwkxD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3X497g2I
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHg3DrZPBS
Carly looked at Angel, and a small smile appeared on her face. She definitely311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AtDW8NaP6
needed to leave. The fact that Miranda was here messed with her head a lot, and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObqTimIbC
she felt like being as far away from the hotel as possible. Considering that,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hM7McXmSP
Miranda might still be around.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ3xjo4AuP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymRdseUBr1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZvFpLZcsh
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXVtAc7HLj
“Angel is right,” said Carly. “I’m feeling rather overwhelmed. We’ve had a long311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiX3taMfUa
day, and I didn’t get enough rest.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EoFWoV3QS
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjz9prisfl
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx81foScU4S
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL2Ad0eIBc
Leo looked a little disappointed, but now that he saw Carly more clearly, she311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG4ikhZsbm
didn’t look too well at all. It looks like his plans for tonight might as well311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdujvaTMzi
go down the drain. If Carly was feeling too tired, it was understandable that311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJ4HWaJhH
she wasn’t going to enjoy his company alone with him either.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLZndvShW5

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTcJo0jbnh
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWpHPZbLOg
“Sure.” Eric quickly stood up from his seat and started to make his way out of311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9o2mMxbzD
the bar area.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rZRLVmx61

Trina and Kim, who still sat observing Leo, noticed Eric stand up from his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe30f4T2ppR
seat. The others were still at the table, and it was only a moment later that311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRGBxB9GiL
they started to stand up.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhjypD2LDb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6bScw1062
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OKML1bo4G
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGTAMomCse

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGjhzKoEe4
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrCd6O8Ltq
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7DD3AeUmD
“He can’t do that with the others tagging along,” said Trina. “Let’s watch and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3TneVLyTt
see.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlXYjwXyYa
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoj4pSUEba
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9rGszYVl6
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHX5k2gfzz
Angel and Oliver started to make their way to the entrance of the bar when311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOJE7YzBIz
Angel, through the corner of her eye, saw Kim and Trina. This was bad. From311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡookNGcHx7l
where she stood, she feared Leo might also notice them. She slowed her pace311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizHGcju40I
with Oliver and waited for Carly and Leo to catch up. If she was lucky, Leo311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh0Gyg5Uhk
might pass by without noticing Kim and Trina, but one can never be too sure.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPudKYnxNgP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Np0CXw2j
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofPC1mjDQx
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQWbXp156j
Carly made her way to Angel and Oliver, with Leo following slowly behind her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo631R3yI4W
Without much thought, his eyes found their way to the bar counter, and he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEUmKyza9q
noticed someone familiar at the other end. Only when the person turned in his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGrqfIr4xI
direction and their eyes fell on him did he realize who it was.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhipeAtgkx
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrAnjlDbCr
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tMiPELfdm
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDscgbS6dUf
“Oh, my gosh,” said Kim as she held Trina’s shoulder in a tight grip. “He’s311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjqVbG0KZW
seen us.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ531cNXRKHu
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn1m5uVcLw
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMHXGre8vg
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSgAqv2nVR
Trina choked on her own words that she couldn’t speak as he saw Leo staring311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhjohSqWqF
back. His eyes slowly started to flame with anger. Or was it fury?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Gwrcqzpn
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV64VnTidO
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKS05tmbvg
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI6tZpMfSa
“Trina, we better go,” said Kim.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EyH9VVcaJ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvkFbJF6MT
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX2cTOOzSX
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeupJO1kIa
Leo couldn’t believe Trina and Kim were there by the counter, staring back at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI4kLizRR5
him. Did they happen to be here by coincidence, or did were they here because311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAgOhOKCwE
of him? He noticed how scared they looked at him, as if they had been caught311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8zYFjtcr3
doing something wrong. That confirmed that they were following him. He decided311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpTckep110
he was going to give them a piece of his mind.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuyrlXwmZk
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyapPnXaU84
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JT0r5C6A8
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDF6eRv7vU
Just as he was about to make his way over to them, a gentle touch fell on his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATP604hhWI
shoulder, stopping him from proceeding further. He looked to the side, and he311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEYGgd10z
found Angel standing right beside him, her hand on his shoulder. She looked at311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2xkJaQUSs
him with her soft brown eyes; they were stern yet so peaceful. There was311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueEibF3ein
something about her look and her presence beside him that made him slowly start311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ys4Kh3RY
to feel the anger in him dissipate like smoke.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQPj0PnJkw
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvofQ9Ktz3
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN8g0T7wyy
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ017nWo1MNJ
She shook her head. “Not here,” she said to him in her normal tone of voice.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDPJpwAG70
“Now is not the time to make a scene.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AWbp3e1yW
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aMdszoI20
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD31nzgTru
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0kHKZcGF8
Leo sighed, and he felt his muscles slowly start to relax. Angel was right; now311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezD37z3mRQ
wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. He looked back at Kim, who continued to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcqUzqXlen
look at him, still with a scared look on her face.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukpFkCIuS4
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJzmnvlyqy
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQb7PI2rG
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IU8Bj7mpI
"Fine," he said to Angel as he looked at her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5r5sHSiTq
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdkcgSRI4m
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy8NLE2xkS
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kAUeSyTDj
Angel gave a smile of relief. She turned to look at Trina and Kim, giving them311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqP5w1k8pf
a nod of her head. The two best friends looked relieved, but they knew that311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQRebVw7sS
this wasn’t over.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzgWOTkpWr
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6xsF8rIGO
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGQtn1tP2G
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqnEEcUEYf
Leo turned around to head out of the bar. Fortunately, Oliver and Carly were311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2XZmeDC8C
way ahead of him, so they didn't see his silent altercation with Kim and Trina.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi4cTZ6c3z
He walked out of the bar with Angel following closely behind him.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeKRjtEbb3
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRtzaMt0xO
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui2XjI4UOz
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mOFhtDgcN
"Thanks for that back there," Leo said to her.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JPEY2Nq9e
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo6FPbx0iv
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPHAS5nqct
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vVzF26tHf
"Well, getting yourself angry wasn't going to do you or me any311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILlANLXH2q
favors," said Angel.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX6dObNIRs
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWkWzoswz6
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFiZ2T1tf
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I8ZtMJC0r
Leo turned to look at her through the corner of his eye. "How long have311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV6su2PDwc
they been there?"311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBEo4WPpUS
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloFQxKyJbD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jH9umOswl
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxs6UX6bwW
Angel found no point in lying to him. "I noticed them during our dinner. I311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9wEXoAZMJ
didn't want to tell you in front of our guests."311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7CgIbXT6Y
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nLXiw8PlD
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FkwPlzJzs
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YnoyeyOC5
Leo scoffed. "It's obvious that they were following me. I guess that’s the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyJEBrF2fX
reason why you didn’t want me to be alone with Carly."311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6gAYLp1fp
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDbp0h9iLW
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddd4oM11OV
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E122m7GTt
"I don't want them to find out about your relationship with her just yet,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ViAmE7zXV
so you've got to be careful from now on."311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGgu8nn3Se
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsMR3Ea5BZ
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9IcQmYMnd
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl9bxHwRsW
A smile appeared across Leo's face. The two might have their differences, but311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnFYO82quY
it was clear to see that Angel did care about his relationship with her sister.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZJkp5lu3D
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeLAtr1f49
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL6XsQMQ37
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxm8pDVdhN
As they continued to walk down the stone path towards the fountain where Oliver311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJeSsamyh4
and Carly were, Leo tried to fight off the feeling of gratitude towards Angel.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4WVAEOrI9
In the end, he decided to let the feeling settle in for one night, and one311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JwEeHO8FK
night only.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6AzAqSmnm
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DEzh3uqhO
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edQ7whzD5
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tGnVJ2oXJ
“That was a close one,” said Trina as she held her chest, breathing deeply.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyajWnN4MjX
“For sure, I thought Leo was going to come charging at us.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz35v5PrSn
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIkDY7wgkB
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJoDYeisGv
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRXdkCOcqb
Kim sighed in relief. “I hate to say this, but we really do have Angel to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDkRtI2Qk5
thank,” she said. “Though I feel Leo will confront us about it.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPxIvggZ7m
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao4TCP6z3o
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8JWv1AElk
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcw3jqqxnv
“Yeah, but Angel talked to him, and he calmed down in an instant.” Trina leaned311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZWi3srEe8
against the bar counter, looking for the bartender. “Leo barely listens to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxslkQo5V
anyone, but he somehow listened to her. It’s best to receive his wrath311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnIxlGrki2
privately rather than in an open place where he can embarrass us. I’m going to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PoAZgxvIb
order a cocktail and drink to thank Angel for saving our sorry lives. Do you311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXALxiJWmk
want one?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58i1SfZcBF
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xHFJumuc0
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJm00dotvW
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs28Xe8zeC
Kim gave a nod to Trina, and while her friend tried to get the attention of the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgu2aBYEV8
bartender, she couldn’t help but look at Leo with Angel walking beside him as311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0DpVU0EQ3
they went further away from the bar. Memories of her and Leo started to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPENc5AQbM
surface, and she couldn’t recall once when he ever listened to her when he was311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCQ6B5yUvD
upset. Trina was right. Leo barely listens to anyone, except this time around,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZvvHkF1B8
when Angel spoke to him. Her eyes fell upon Angel, who, even in that red velvet311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINKDDjhBCc
dress, walked effortlessly with elegance beside Leo. Was there something about311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EorFYzB8O
Angel that Kim wasn’t aware of?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiUMyrQpni

Miranda quickly stepped out of the elevator and ran down the hall back to the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWTN7NYpiK
room where Red Lion and Mr. Walters were. She knew her thirty minutes were up,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qG1ugg2aB
and she had been so distracted that she didn’t notice her phone vibrate in the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvDImZ7YGp
pocket of her jeans. When she checked in the elevator, she found three missed311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosiHcwE2nt
calls from Mr. Walters, and she knew she was in for it.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlkrSdTauP
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt8MVHCNIc
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUVvReakgn
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Xflljq05
As soon as she reached the suite, the door flew open before she could even311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6lrlJhnBE
knock. She thought the first person she would see was Red Lion, but to her311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4gjCY2WF3
relief, it was Walters.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtBn10ka8P
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVfMsB1jYE
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEcPdchZtw
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqcPp9jiLH
“What took you so long?” he asked. “And why didn’t you answer my calls?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLfjwhg9K3
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aKcMcne1P
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KkS0R9C6M
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZiIiBrG7b
“I’m sorry,” said Miranda. “I got a little distracted. Is he here?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms1Yq3RWxh
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOO0DKZdZp
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39Xyr0oIM
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOYUZbiUC
“Yeah, but count yourself lucky,” said Walters as he stood aside to let Miranda311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns4nElGjaa
through the door. “Red Lion was going to kill you if he wanted to.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuskRq37Yr
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGbdHDGAqG
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhh5pOmoQb
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3kQIOpgGU
Miranda slowly stepped into the room, looking towards the living room area. Red311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspVyWOpS9L
Lion's comrade sat on the couch. His eyes fixed on the TV screen that showed311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRCcjMKmJo
the football game. Two more people sat on the other couch. They wore black311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5PTje8uxL
suits, and they were of Asian descent. The two looked like bodyguards. Were311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsEeLnID0o
they here with the host who called for this meeting? Moreover, where was Red311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyQUDmQYxx
Lion?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ690SxKRcim
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yZ3PvM9i4
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNjtcRbW73
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKlj8f3NsF
When she entered the living room area, she heard voices coming from the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0sSVdzPIJ
balcony. She saw Red Lion standing by the open doors of the balcony. Someone311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijlBQQeEiO
stood in front of him, talking to him. Miranda couldn’t see who it was as the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZgMnM9MTo
person stood on the balcony, and the doors hid him from view.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOT0n6REG1
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqUSqM6WVK
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4EfGbqUNS
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzQHW1IoRD
Red Lion noticed Miranda's presence and turned to look at her. He surprisingly311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX4Yp5MVdI
smiled. She almost sighed in relief, for she really thought he was going to311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TiLnHW1XX
