Angel was in the living 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzedJ8yq0VX
room with Amanda. The doctor had just finished checking up on both of 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI52IGLbj1
them and was leaving for the door after biding them goodbye.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU6ZZmyFfF
"So, how was it?" Amanda asked immediately the doctor had left.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPcPISswNy
"How was what?" Angel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJplRyWl1Oy
"Getting to know Leo?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqATQRxW46
Angel could have sworn 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ukbtIGJQl
that a ghost had just passed by because she suddenly went pale. She 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkotTDYFVL
turned towards the window wondering what to say to Amanda.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrRwz7S8by
"Umm, it pretty much went okay," said Angel as she turned to look at Amanda in front of her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2b8o3KXbU
"Really?" Amanda looked a882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl83yGUw5ps
little concerned. "I noticed the way you came in from the patio and I 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIHXRGLV0
thought I saw a sad look on your face. Did Leo say something that might 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7BVgFHq58
have offended you?" 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNNOYCpsgt
"Oh, no, no," Angel replied quickly. "I just felt a little discomfort in my body and felt like it was time I saw the doctor."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDWz46ImXI
"But Leo should have helped you back in. Why didn't he do that?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1pw3VeV4Z
"I didn't tell him. We spent a lot of time talking and I didn't want to worry him with my pain."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhMCxxMZ9P
"Awww, you're so 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcIn38Kuv8
considerate, my dear. But right now, you'll need a lot more help you can882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mmaXSetWu
get before you fully recover. Anyway, the doctor said you are doing 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lN5KHPrbs
well and that you will get better in no time. Maybe then, you will be 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEgKpnS5zs
able to walk around freely again without any difficulty or pain."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9BcMozVLJ
"You have no idea how I miss walking. I can't wait to do things and get back to work."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIvVJLTlXu
"Speaking about work, what do you do for a living, dear?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz9Q8A5mFK
"Well, I work at an editing company. It isn't much but I enjoy what I do."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYtgX8ohYU
Amanda gave Angel the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8fyZkXjVM
kindest smile. "That's nice and decent. I figured you're one who loves 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycjWfAU8aS
to deal with writing. It suits you."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yC7zg8O2l
Angel smiled back. Amanda was really nice that Angel couldn't think of any nice words or gesture to give back.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv0yOkh2VX
Amanda then snapped her fingers. "I just thought of something just now."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Z825iJb7
"What is it?" Angel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGgSzy8BwD
"You seem to be one 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawu0frczZj
person who really loves their job so much, but just as you said earlier,882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ8oKPH9ER
it's not paying you enough. And I think, you Angel, deserve the best."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oHzbqr8xp
Angel couldn't tell where all of this was going, so she waited for Amanda to carry on.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWLqeswFiS
"How about you start working for us? At the MacDonell Technology Construction Company?" Amanda asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKQRJVeqcG
"What?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ293kp8gieR
Angel's face became paler as she heard that voice.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YxyjIQpbj
Leo who had just come in882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqwCY8upwN
from the patio, heard the whole thing. He was standing in the foyer, 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ZwjK0MO0
just at the entrance of the living room.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBavCZSXwK
"What did you just say 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY40tf4DhjM
now, grandma?" Leo asked as he stepped in the living room and approached882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOUyPWIWHH
the two women on the wheelchairs.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj210TxrI9B
Amanda turned her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra6sQr4wrz
wheelchair around and looked at Leo. "Don't start acting like your 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHR1J6vTbg
mother like she hasn't heard anything and wants someone to repeat 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCor7OdT9II
themselves."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2M1XC5i4Q
"I just can't believe what you're saying right now," said Leo. "Did you just ask Angel to join us at our company?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97c27qJejY
"Yes," said Amanda with a billion dollar smile on her face. "Won't that be nice?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVnenVJ8t
Leo couldn't believe 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZizzD7NHN
what he was hearing as he slowly met eyes with Angel. Even she couldn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbtQi7LkCt
tell why Amanda had suggested this in the first place.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rEvg0S9Fa
"Haven't you thought 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv5gdYrFCS
this through, grandma?" Leo asked, feeling somewhat confused. "I mean, 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpuoecUXGN
what makes you think Angel could come and work for us? Doesn't she have a882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyKc0VYVrW
job of her own?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ5ciNFrI7
"Leo's right," said Angel. "I already have a job and I don't see why I have to trade it for another."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx3zhVPNp3
"You deserve better, my 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vsD4ACCn4
dear," said Amanda as she looked at Angel. "I haven't said anything 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTdWQSiiPk
wrong. I'm just giving you a chance to do something better."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4dGhjgcZ
"But grandma, you can't do that, you know," said Leo. "Angel should be willing to come and work at our company."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNFt3Lvf0O
"If you ask me, your father would agree to this too."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo3WVI4c1P
"What makes you so sure?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7UaQAJjFJ
"I know your father. And he will think exactly the same."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhTb5l2VVu
"Mum won't though."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PVwhSCu5I
"Does she run the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOKL17k4pe
company?" Amanda raised an eyebrow at her grandson. "She might be 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA42QIoHlE
married to your father and have a share in the company, but she doesn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVawV2lQiC
make decisions. Your father and I do with other shareholders."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQpmtZqXV
Leo knew his grandmother882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLTf1CyP6I
was right and there was no way to oppose her. But he still couldn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Mmm6xMjP
believe that she wanted Angel to work at the company. His mother might 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGtH02YTgz
not make any major decisions concerning the company, but she sure as 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6s16D2lk5
hell wasn't going to agree with Angel working there.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uWr5hoQa1
"I think I am going to work now," said Leo who couldn't take all of this anymore.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg82Ze3G7qE
"Don't say any of this 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkHxS82zOB
to anyone yet," Amanda warned him. "I'll have to talk to your father 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8RhNxGTfA
first and then smooth talk your mother, which is the most unpleasant 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEnqTzm8LH
thing I'll have to do in my life. And....," she looked at Angel. "I'll 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUwmNYY7FC
have to convince her a little more than I have to."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO4TQn0fKw
Angel gulped. It felt 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8yovxJU0I
like Amanda was going to give her a lesson of her life when she was only882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwrL36gWHN
trying to convince her to join the McDonells.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdIdDrTQXK
Leo made his way out of 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFqo3GAdGM
the room without a second thought of staying to try and convince his 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dj4sy5JH0
grandmother to change her mind. He was about to head up the stairs so 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoGrZJl4tO
that he could go to his room and get his car keys and other things when 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHtqCuixyS
his mother appeared, making her way down the stairs.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7VUvaLf5M
"Oh, Leo," said Mrs McDonell as she reached the bottom of the stairs where her son stood. "You already had your breakfast?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB2kWCdEEw
"I had breakfast with everyone else," Leo answered. "May you excuse me, I have to go for work."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2qXNDbnoj
"Wait, Leo, I need you to....."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEgDPKO5hB
But Leo went up the stairs without giving her a chance to finish. Mrs McDonell looked on at his son as he went to his room.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7drhdsghC
"Looks like he's still mad at you," said Amanda from the living room.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHvV6ViBm4
"I wonder when you're ever going to mind your own business," said Mrs McDonell as she made her way into the living room.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICxYJ9s4H
"When I finally leave this place." Amanda gave her daughter-in-law a smile. "I know what you're up to."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGshjy3ZXM
Mrs McDonell folded her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFjZLhvxKy
"I'm talking about Kim."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQO1jbNBah
Angel didn't know if it 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod3z25qsWj
was right to be in this room and listen to their conversation. The way 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYd15spWEM
she saw it, Amanda and Mrs McDonell seem to have some long time feud. It882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpw45P39kh
didn't seem serious, but it was dangerous for anyone else apart from 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gJwdf3lE
the two to be involved in. They were family so it was quiet normal to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8awwONUc3G
argue. But there was something between the two women that Angel could 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecWS5O49vF
feel but couldn't put together. Did these two really hate each other 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cAEet9Bwu
just as much or was it they have a bit of a conflict when it came to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLh4SB3fH
certain things?882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDQFUtX2X
"Kim is good for Leo. You should know better," said Mrs McDonell.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzD2uyq1F
"If she was that good, then why did Leo call off the wedding?" Amanda asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCJPNQONnI
Angel felt like covering882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjqF63Pu1S
her ears. Kim was the girl Leo was supposed to marry and she couldn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgTwYXWw3G
help but feel awful about it. Only a few people knew why Leo ended 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncImqralpb
things with her. It wasn't just about the accident that ruined the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJg6ESz7Z
wedding day to begin with, but because of Leo's sudden love for Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Ak69wsWa
"There was an accident that day," said Mrs McDonell. Angel knew she would say that.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFVLecffZT
"Ya, but a few days later, he confronted Kim and told her that he didn't want to marry her anymore," said Amanda.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM9cFPNdfo
Angel felt her heart 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7NrvzfufW
skip a beat. She couldn't help but feel this was all her fault. Maybe if882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgvMD0AbT4
she knew what Carly was up to from the beginning and stopped her, this 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8kRVs1Qub
wouldn't have happened. Leo would have never laid his eyes on Carly and 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4WlLHcC4t
would have gotten married and they would never have known each other to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPPFlxOtvX
begin with. That's if Mr McDonell hadn't visited her mother on that day 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlHsDPpA4I
and invited her to the wedding.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX1Ahv3HR3
"Don't start with me," said Mrs McDonell.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwqpTjroA2
"But you know perfectly well that it is the truth," said Amanda.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3WKfedPZY
Angel looked at Amanda 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj1CC7JtoR
and then at Mrs McDonell. She soon noticed Leo coming down the stairs. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i5RaBx0Yy
She cleared her throat as a warning to the two ladies arguing.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXabJYKhpT
Amanda and Mrs McDonell 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77mH51Km7H
noticed Angel clearing her throat and when they both looked at her, they882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDRxVpTwVD
saw her eyes looking into the foyer. They didn't utter a word when they882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsmLFnvne8
saw Leo.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABmAcOhwD
"What's going on?" Leo asked. "Why are you so quiet?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNavlc14JYv
"Nothing, dear," said 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2lyhFLuGz
Amanda. "Just arguing over what to have for supper. You know your mother882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ltKJuCg6
hates it when I try to take over the kitchen for a day."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthOWwrshfO
"Okay. I'll be going to work then."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Rx3VCG8R
"Have a nice day."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRLcFWUbRQ
"Have a nice day, Leo," said Mrs McDonell.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iJssCXLa2
Leo nodded his head in 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokfTyvBcI
acknowledgment. He looked at Angel and Angel looked back at him. They 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbcHX2Dvds
stared at each other for a little while before Leo nodded his head at 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4hnMowg57
her and she did the same back to him. Then he walked out of the house 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqYZWue5rK
through the front door.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWhJhERjDd
"Where were we?" Amanda asked looking up at Mrs McDonell.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkWviuB6Vz
"You're unbelievable," 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM74T8EZoL
said Mrs McDonell with her hands shaking in the air like she couldn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15mmDN00bO
take it anymore. "I'm going to have my breakfast."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rqrjqLpPW
Mrs McDonell quickly left the living room. Angel looked on as she left. This family had some drama for sure.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwS1WIQbaa
"I'm sorry for that, 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZrWEp5bm
dear," said Amanda as she took Angel's hand into hers. "Don't mind her. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4GDZfPhbN
She could be a bit cranky sometimes."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ze7f2ORPZ
"You don't have to remind me," said Angel, remembering how Mrs McDonell reacted upon seeing her and Carly's luggage yesterday.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepU8Ohavmo
"I think I argued too much I need to take a little rest. I hope you don't mind."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGj2mAxTmQ
"No, I don't. You need the rest. Come to think of it, I think I'll take a little nap too."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNgrrT1EOf
"Alright, let's go to our rooms then."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfmly3Kt78
Angel slowly followed 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLidbfSsvE
Amanda. While she rolled herself out of the room, she couldn't help but 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh9S8sYPaT
think about Kim. She could only imagine how devastated Kim was after her882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEj938XX8K
wedding was called off and then your fiancé ends things for good. She 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLMzMFcweO
must have felt awful.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nfUEL879s
Angel couldn't help but feel sorry for her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H27rwV39e
***882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQry96zEq
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglLRUhy6Y4
couldn't stop smiling to himself as he looked up at the ceiling 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJat7OSnc8K
wondering why he couldn't stop getting lost in his own head.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHvCj78ihz
He882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rovq6um5A
propped upright on his chair as he went back to looking at his 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3sD66uSsR
computer. He bit his lower lip as he leaned back further in his chair 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFG0iBAfxp
and went up to looking at the ceiling again.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7BqYdd1x
"Oh, Angel, what are you doing to me?" he asked himself with a smile on his face.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozW3WqAlsZ
Since882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlh3rME9ml
he left for work this morning, he couldn't stop thinking about Angel. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgvPfvkVmk
As much as he has been seeing her everyday even when she was in 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlWN6yoApU
hospital, he never thought of her as much as he has today. He wondered 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh32PVbj43
why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Did he like her that much?882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcntgm3aDj9
Who882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPfLm8f6eU
wouldn't? She's nice and very beautiful, almost like an angel. And her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPUPtt6ZA6
black and red hair made her look strikingly more beautiful. And her soft882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7z42zLjbp
brown eyes were intriguing to look at and get mesmerised.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JkjA3e2h8
He882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxhGtygwwg
imagined looking into those eyes right now that he didn't hear his 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1x0pIuZ01
landline on the desk ringing at first. It was when it rang the second 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2MNcBnra
time that he managed to get out of his daydream and answer the call.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPtAn7i4j5
"Yes?" he answered knowing that it was his secretary, Emily.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVBCLuFWPt
"You've someone here to see you."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnO1V9hiD
"Who is it?" Eric rolled his eyes in irritation. He really didn't like being disturbed when he was daydreaming.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAEsBkl0Oq
"It's Trina."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMWmI3KADp
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj7hQPIO9Y
hadn't heard that name in a long time. Trina? What could she be doing 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH6xTdNeSs
here? They hadn't been in touch for a long time since the wedding got 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfe5BDlZ07
called off.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoylOXEaF2E
"Tell her to come in," he said putting the hand phone back on the receiver.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBghLDjfTBS
The door to his office flew open and and Trina stepped into the room.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesW8ostf0D
"Hi, Eric," said Trina with a smile on her face.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13OYsK9S72
"Trina, hi," said Eric as he got up from his chair and went round the table to her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BDmKHF8PP
Trina882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2KjxgjllF
gave him a hug and Eric didn't feel that much comfortable as he used to882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw7oyzeqlg
when Trina gave him hugs. The two were friends. They weren't so close, 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpny6qWIEM
but they were friends anyway, because of Leo and Kim. The four of them 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4gZd2PbkM
were almost like a gang during their school years though they used to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPqiF2lJx3
fall out sometimes but still get back together.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbuKcVm008
Now882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv0o5qzlkF
that they were all grown up, they weren't much as friends as they used 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LpRLtKo71
to since Kim and Leo fell in love with each other and started dating in 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU6SLCl1wB
high school and straight throughout college. It still didn't mean they 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGmWe3Uk6
weren't friends.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NGey1JsUG
While882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOklq5ko5HK
Kim and Leo were in love, Eric was more of a play boy. He was handsome 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKcH3AQhec
after all and everywhere he went, ladies fell for him. It wasn't that 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ZGQ21Eqq
Leo is handsome. He really is. It's just that he was already taken and 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2agpd5IrGG
way too early for that matter, so he didn't get to have as many 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuhdMzbnWu
girlfriends as Eric did during his college years.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevKGX1HlTF
One882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUxpoA4krV
of Eric's flings happened to be Trina. Trina has always had her eye on 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwufWzoEmHL
him for as long she could ever remember. She hoped that Eric would be 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8xVEm5Pa6
serious with her and the two of them would get into a relationship. But 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgM0Ks2Th
that was far from happening. Eric seemed too far to be committed into 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZfqiJVj4y
one.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfhLq1oIOB
Not until he met Angel.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1v1zxxAD9
Trina882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ixIFiI3Zf
smiled back at Eric after hugging him. She felt so excited to see him 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVJjkX0QH9
in what felt like forever when it's only been close to two weeks.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftaE6UR9y2
"I haven't heard from you like forever," said Trina. "Are you ignoring me now?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtNrdXEPTg
"No, it's not like that," said Eric. "Please, take a seat."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigFZm5hYFL
Trina882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTw1QHzFni
did as she was told. She wore a sky blue sleeveless dress, flared and 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s55bcprhl
reaching above her knees. She wore white high heels and she had a cream 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBxA4BIZOQ
coloured handbag and lovely gold neck chain. She looked really 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAljnwOnu3Q
beautiful.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2FuaIx7kQ
But to Eric, not as beautiful as Angel.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA00GIegoF
"Then882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7DYfp6DKx
what is it, Eric?" Trina asked. "I thought we were friends. And after 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQWDfSGtRx
what happened on the wedding day, we're supposed to be by each other's 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFqdQJ0DMh
side to try and work things out."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0VmeaOpZV
"Work things out with Leo?" Eric raised an eyebrow as he soon settled down on his chair. "You already know how stubborn he is."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBY9BYjqD1
"I know. I do feel so bad for Kim."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPncUMzrxH
"Ya, me too."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnvWFxZWEY
"She didn't deserve what Leo did to her."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1h4UyC0AW
Eric didn't say anything as he went back to looking at his computer.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhNcS69do
"Do you know something, Eric?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk0oRljqiZ
Eric went back to looking at Trina. "Know what?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilAK9ogIud
"Why Leo broke up with Kim? Do you know?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8TGyG4I2U
"No, I don't," Eric lied without hesitation. "After all that happened he just changed his mind."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B2PZura0k
"But there has to be a reason. Is it because he fell in love with someone else?" Trina asked with an eyebrow raised.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsB9RIRigC
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMktCm5Dqg
almost gulped but that would only show Trina that he was lying and that882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT6CHQFSJR
he was definitely hiding something. Instead, he playfully rolled his 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vb96nCkq4
eyes with a corky smile on his face.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBSkfAmSnE
"Please,882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vk33guMyr
Trina, if there was someone, I would know. Besides, he never told me 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENnfIGscHj
why he changed his mind. So instead of interrogating me, why don't you 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryVWAHUlSC
ask him?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPl06E7gmI
Trina882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBKwPc2jnd
almost dropped her mouth wide open in shock but she quickly said, "you 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLfcJPg3Kt
know I can't do that. Leo is scary to talk to sometimes. I asked you 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMR3965N4c
because you're almost like his best friend and he tells you everything."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXCnMIaPrL
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCquJ996PZR
smiled. "He is. But this time around, he really didn't tell me why he 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefugu8bU6F
did that. I guess he had a change of heart of some sorts."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIj4rbpTRE
"Do you think it has something to do with that girl he hit his car with that day?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqus0zmCFvN
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UuamJTqQF
soon went pale as he didn't know how to answer the question. He went 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgftVO7v2vv
back to looking at his computer screen and tapped away on the mouse, 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3H6WytEX9
clicking on the desktop, pretending to look busy as he thought of what 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5smuEoNjb
to say next.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnydm9AHzeG
"Uh, Eric," Trina called out to him. "Aren't you going to answer me? Does it have to do with that girl?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wQ2xhjH66
"You're asking me the wrong question, Trina," he answered, looking at her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwyPY8cvZE
"What do you mean? You were there, weren't you, when the accident happened?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo8nQf2jGY
"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with her."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMpYYrytqG
"Are you sure? How is she by the way?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXf18OwZdv
"She's882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1r5QptvLN
okay." Eric didn't want to give Trina any more details about the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZMzOzXjG
Barclay sisters. If anything, Trina only knew about Angel and not Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4naGviKm8Q
He was afraid giving her more information might prove to be lethal in 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVRVy894HE
the end. She was Kim's best friend after all and he knew she was only 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZwgEXkbq9
here to get information from him because Leo wouldn't talk to her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaOAZofaq0
anymore.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcImdb9RtO
"Is that why you have been completely ignoring me? Because of the accident?" Trina asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZ7wLZYe9
"Ignoring you?" Eric chuckled but blushed at the same time. "What do you mean?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeDmswYkHO
Trina882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKuxWX3Qx4
soon stood up from her seat and the smile on Eric's face soon died 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4E8qqJgwn
away. She came over to where he sat standing behind his chair. He 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ3cYuDEs5
suddenly felt her hands on his shoulders as she slowly started to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM5met96Te
massage him.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ1856dlfe
"You've been ignoring me, Eric," said Trina, slowly. "Was it because of the accident or did I do something wrong?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZykeLLCa3e
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCjJwMlLYR
raised an eyebrow as he tried to figure out the right words to use. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIqnWK3fF4
What happened to Angel had kept him a little busy but that wasn't the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiaKpa5QAl
full truth. He had grown fond of Angel from the very first day he saw 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0RtMLWrXz
her. When she was involved in the accident, he felt like it was his duty882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvKMFu4L5a
to be by her side and take care of her. That's why he was always there 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HouJedDxS
everyday at the hospital to check up on her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBitFDXMwH
He882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoay47MCsRg
didn't know he would care for someone who wasn't his family that much 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO9h9ffNCz
like he did for Angel. There was something about her that made him think882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2PnDRvhPY
of her always. Nowadays even when he was to see any beautiful lady 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFF4Io74YY
walking across the street, he would end up thinking of Angel and how he 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JhUQIBx4j
just wanted to be by her side at that very moment.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSjx2PDIp
"Hey?" Trina brought Eric back from his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFMo1IaRUX
"Nothing," he answered. "I just realised I have a lot of things to do today."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj829KAt1L2
"I am here now, so why don't you relax a little bit." Trina bended over and whispered in his ear, "I really missed you though."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSy9rNo7k6
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyafTw0jWT
felt a sudden discomfort on his shoulders and he soon propped up on his882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1BAN2JwMv
seat giving Trina a sign to stop what she was doing.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgofj3IyqcF
"What's wrong?" Trina sounded a little worried. "Don't you like my massage?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUkIuPzqY6
"It's not that, Trina," said Eric. "I just have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done today."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmPfzvpG4n
"Oh,882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiOFK2Vtmh
I'm sorry." Trina soon walked away from Eric and went back to her chair882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnHvPsfhwR
to get her handbag. Eric couldn't help but blow out a puff of air 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedjhVTAp9D
silently from his mouth, relieved that Trina was leaving.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HwFLXT4Rq
"Maybe we can try and catch up with each other sometime," said Trina as she turned to look at Eric.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGubHXp04q
"Ya, we should," he said hoping that it wouldn't be any time soon.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4DJvBTTsJ
Trina882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWslEIjOCw
smiled at him and just as she was about to walk over to him to give him882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshJDpQ8fRT
who knows what, the door to Eric's office flew open.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW8o3Kllj4
Leo882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xn7l3MqKl
stepped into the room and he paused when he saw Trina. Trina couldn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rkDnmsU79
help but feel her cheeks blush in embarrassment upon seeing Leo.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN1jsPJnXd
"There's a thing called knocking, you know," Eric said feeling rather glad that Leo was here.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CWuMQPoD4
"I didn't know you had company," said Leo as he turned to look at his cousin.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX972x3IbT
"Isn't Emily at her desk?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClcEODeLaE
Leo show his head. "She must have stepped out for tea."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Ko46wVej
Eric rolled his eyes. Typical Emily.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVC8DWch56
"I was just leaving," said Trina.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROVZ1onR8E
"Okay," said Eric. "I would have loved to escort you out but I'm rather busy as you can see."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o3KOBXjvr
"It's fine," said Trina giving Eric a bright smile which soon faded away when she turned to look at Leo.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFFLqONOD5
With882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkVoMdJrsM
her bag in her hand, Trina quickly made her way for the door. Leo stood882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozRhHROjp9
aside for her to pass and she was out of the office in seconds.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveJlA0pu3w
"What was she doing here?" Leo asked as he closed the door after her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCnEzpOeee
"What do you think?" Eric asked as he went back to sit on his chair.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse3H8C0HFM
"Acting as Kim's informant, I presume," Leo answered as he approached Eric's table.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu0Cgm4YcC
"Yep. But don't worry, I didn't tell her anything."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrF5OFRZIr
"I know you wouldn't. You're too smart for that."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo7AQEofCI
"She thought the reason why you broke things up with Kim was because of the accident."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22dq2WGEDf
"It's best they think that way. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui7yCzrbQY
"Well, you would someday."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrva5EjsDfX
Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjK6Oq4N2q
"I mean, you won't be able to hide your love for Carly forever. What if after a year, you two decide to get married?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalqu9hoYWf
"That would be fine by me."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb8aCXSGqi
"Oh,882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Y2ktl4VZ
really? Then how are you going to explain yourself to Kim? Because at 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxoSLDRBjj
that time, she would realise that the person you ran over is Angel who 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq72Nxchjo
happens to be the sister whom you fell in love with and the reason why 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExiT2B0PTx
you broke things off with her."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NLS2FUusN
"Please, it's not like she's going to figure it out."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhKXzMhjmy
"She will. Kim isn't that much of a blonde, you know."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh9a7tU3Fr
"Okay, enough about Kim. It's already hard enough that Trina was even here. She annoys me sometimes."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5etAybF0z
"And she's afraid of you. Your presence in my office made her run out of here like she had met her worst nightmare."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdE5hsbach
"I am everybody's worst nightmare." Leo smirked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4znOf6Gx9u
"Not to Angel." Eric smirked back. "If anything, she seems like one who always puts you back in your place."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCR4pGlK9C
Leo882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIEFcwuhYE
blushed as he remembered his conversation with her back home at the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvxdA6CyFx
patio and how she made fun of him because Amanda made him apologise to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqbDWlfPUz
her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RNK7sJ0lo
"Now what's with that face, dear cousin?" Eric asked in a mocking tone.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN34ZCxBvJU
"What face?" Leo asked trying to be stoic.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVwg00vWQW
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXUqnjgQFG
smiled as his index finger made a circle in the air as though 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqJZ5uVA3d
highlighting Leo's face. "The look on your face tells me you were 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgpv0vRsfo
thinking about Angel just now."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZrbd10NwR
Leo shook his head. "No, I wasn't."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM5cJgvUe6
"Yes, you were," said Eric with glee. "Did something happen between the two of you before you came here?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ4KvBT10G
Leo882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLwzqbUHzJ
was caught in between telling Eric the truth or keeping what happened 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk78tkAD2d
all to himself. He couldn't tell him that he had apologised to Angel 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCiOb6lA3L
because his grandmother made him do so. It would hurt his ego.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE40Pl5UOz6
"Hey? Aren't you going to tell me or not? It's the reason why you're here, right?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ULmC2vaDb
"What makes you say that?" Leo asked see with his arms folded.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E41rHCmLz
"Because,882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA1qGWZErh
whenever you want to let something out of your chest, you want to let 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7toRV3xBtm
it out or else you would burst. And besides, you just came in here 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs9Kii9I3y
without even knocking first meaning it's really bothering you and you're882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP57eA3WlbS
in a sense of emergency to release it."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzrnOgE5Xk
Leo looked at Eric as he settled on the chair Trina had occupied minutes ago. "You know me so well."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3IKlsvzq7
"Of882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz5rcAcNl1
course, I do," said Eric as he raised his eyebrows. "I'm your best 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Csmn64pna
friend after all. Now, tell me what happened between you and my sweet 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvdhkZNq5w
darling, Angel."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDLsFkDaCb
"Angel isn't sweet. She's a pain in the neck and she's only out there to get me."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimjJ5bsNJI
"Continue." Eric couldn't help but grin.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sLFE1qLOK
Leo ended up telling Eric all that had happened with Amanda, Angel and himself back home.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSxOuxkt0
"And you think it was all Angel's fault?" Eric asked after Leo finished his story.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YMceLVCb6
"Well, ya," Leo answered. "She even made fun of me about it after grandma left."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6NV3q1SGW
Eric laughed. "Looks like she really put you in your place for sure. She didn't even have to raise a finger to do it."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMr5zCi4Fr
"Grandma882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHreoIJrb49
already likes her, that's why. And I'm afraid this might not be the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf1h6Lo8Na
only time she will ever get the upper hand in things."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v5LtQcd8F
"What do you mean? Is there something I should know about?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbFkeLNQxj
Leo882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cc62rxYzL
wanted to tell Eric about his grandmother's suggestion of bringing 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBnmrzJ1rk
Angel to work at the McDonell company. But he promised he wouldn't say a882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoBFU2WXs3
word to anyone.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Z3GaQpR2
"I'll leave that up to grandma to tell you," he said. "I simply can't say anything."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgKDe3CPu9
"Alright," said Eric. "It seems grandma has a surprise for us, right? Then I better hear it from her then."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcXS4vB8ZS
"Yep,882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxpekdc474
it's a surprise indeed." Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Anyway, I882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY4WzpjoQ1
better get back to work." He stood up from the chair.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XdAcQlBU6
"Ya, you do that. I've a lot of daydreaming to do." Eric leaned back on his chair and with his hands behind his head.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6br5ma3vou
"Let me guess, the Lady Supreme."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGAM8Vlo7j
"Just because grandma favours her, doesn't mean that she will always have the upper hand, Leo."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceaeIQOJcC
"You'll be surprised. It seems things are all going in her favour."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8ezs2OAUy
Eric882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF6WACSlPS
smirked as he closed his eyes. "You're just upset because for once in 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCcqCkd3h0
your life, you've met the one person whose up to your level in terms of 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY2rzxTOh7
attitude that's it's difficult to bring them down."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAXjYRhBsS
Leo882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5579CQPZ4a
looked at his cousin and he didn't know whether to give him a slap, 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCEhRRP0as
which he was wanting to do so badly, or just let him be. He slowly 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU6v5B73Cs
turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziNXnbcrXC
He882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUEUEX4XsG
couldn't get what his cousin said out in his head and it stuck in his 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFpn8yBomz
mind even as he reached the office and looked at the documents on his 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz11NtVkMC
desk that he had to look at today.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfsDRPzjjs
Could it be that Leo and Angel were alike in terms of attitude and that somehow, Angel had the upper hand?882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsY21tolqG
Leo882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqUkdrxPTp
shook his head as he finally settled down behind his desk. He wasn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m5gZxx1a4
going to dwell on the issue forever. He had a lot of work to do.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIHQSvIn9I
And it would take a lot more time for him to finally realise that he might have finally met his match.
