Carly swung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the house. Mr. McDonell and Eric had already left for the office. They had offered her a ride at first, but she refused saying that she would rather take the bus. They didn't persist any further and left. It was good on her part. She had something to do and them being in the way would hinder her plan.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNYGZFznKl

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCEw5u1xd3
She walked up to the main gate and left the McDonell premises. She walked a few blocks away from the house when she saw the black car waiting beside the corner, parked near the curb of the road. She went to the car and got in through the passenger seat.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoukp3ja2Tu

Alex didn't say anything as he focused on the road. He gave Carly a glance and saw her reflection through the window. She looked to be troubled and lost in her own world at the same time. He wondered what she could be thinking about. Alex shook his head. You can never know with women.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vz4og8KWf

Carly nodded her head, got hold of the straps of her backpack on her laps, and opened the door. She stepped out, swung the bag round her shoulder and closed the door behind her.

As she walked, she wondered what to do since she wasn't going to be home early again today. Angel will be on her for sure. She has to come up with a convincing lie to put Angel and everyone else's minds at ease.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDpusHfdT

Angel smiled at Lisa, assuring her that she would. She passed the desk and went down the passage to her left. She soon found herself in one big room full of work cubicles and most of them were occupied. The sound of whispers, typing on the keyboards and the sound of the printing machine at the corner of the room, made Angel's mouth raise to a smile. She realised how much she had missed the place, and now she's leaving it, this time for good. The thought almost made her heart break. But before she could linger in her thoughts a little while longer, a shriek reached her ears that made her jump.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBZlmL3kXW

Angel turned her head immediately Tiffany put her down. Walking down the aisle is her long time colleague, Ben.

Ben stopped in his tracks as he looked at his brown, tweed suit and frowned at Angel. She always made fun of his suits hence giving him the name: Mr. Bean's tall twin brother.

Along the way, she was greeted by her other colleagues who were just as happy to see her. With every step she took approaching the room to Mark's office, she realised that if she had any other option, she would've stayed. This place felt almost like her second home. Everyone here felt like family. It took a while when she first got here to create bonds, but now she was going to a whole new place. Who knows what challenges she would face. But one thing she's sure of, is that this place and the people here will forever be like family.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ZyqhPWKD

She left the work area and went down a short passageway where she came across the secretary's desk. At the end of the hall stood the door to Mark's office. The secretary's desk is empty. Angel figured that she must be inside the office.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbvYrFl2TB

A cool morning breeze hit Angel square in the face the moment she stepped into the office. She found him at his desk with his back facing the huge windows. Seating on one of the chairs in front of his desk was his secretary, Valerie. She's a brunette just like Lisa and you could tell why Mark picked her for a secretary. She is tall and had a heart shaped face with lovely, plump lips. Not forgetting that she has a really curvy body. She should've been a model. Even when Lisa insists that Mark likes Angel, Angel always felt Mark liked Valerie or anyone else prettier than her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh1csXkdHa

"Of course, Mr. Dean," Valerie stood up from her seat and made her way towards the door, passing Angel. Angel thought she had seen Valerie smile. She wondered what that's about.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25gHltHveh

Leo took a sip of his latte as he slowly took the corner down the street to where the car was packed. From afar, he could tell through the car's windows that Bill is the only person inside. He sighed as he took a look at his watch. Angel seemed to be taking her time, and Leo didn't like it.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD6g5RSc4g

Bill gave up as he sighed. Just as he was about to move in his seat, he saw Angel walking out through the main door of the  complex. Leo saw her too, and she wasn't alone. She had three people around her, talking to her as they came towards the car. A tall man in a tweed jacket, a blonde haired, plump woman and a brunette. Angel carried along with her a box, which obviously contained her personal belongings. Leo scoffed realising that they were Angel's closet friends. He wished he didn't have to meet them in such circumstances.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT2bXFxvYb

When Angel was just a few feet away from the car, Bill quickly opened the door to let himself out. He did it so suddenly that Leo almost jumped in fright since he stood so close to the door. He almost shouted at Bill to be more careful, but he didn't want to look rude in front of everyone walking down the street. He had to give Bill a piece of his mind later.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0skVJkFTST

Bill got in the driver's seat while Leo went round the car to get in from the other side.

Angel went on to stare out the window, looking at the buildings along the road. She was deep in thought, thinking of her friends and the editing firm. She wondered what awaited her at the McDonell company. When Leo continue to sip noisily, she wondered how she would ever handle him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFA1c8XV00

Before Leo could say something back, his phone in the pocket of his trousers started to ring. He wondered who could be calling him as he retrieved his phone. He looked at the screen. It's Eric.

Leo squinted his eyes with his thumb and index finger, praying for Eric to stop talking. As a matter of fact, he just wanted to get out of the car and walk to God knows where. Today is clearly not going well for him and he just wanted to do something different for a change.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbEWgFktTB

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DxV8q8Zbn

Leo looked at his phone and felt like throwing it out the window. He always hated it when Eric got the chance to mock him because he couldn't go against his father's wishes. It's one thing that Leo tried not to do so often. He found it much easier to go against his mother than his father. Now, his father had sent him out to buy croissants and he couldn't refuse.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuov9XtUq1

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7wPtiw1Um
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPa2Yaq8BM
Angel paused for a second as she thought. Then a smile appeared across her face as she stared back at Bill through the rear view. "I know just the place." Angel told him which road to head to.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6AoDUClou
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Tbl4FRL5

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVGtbbomjj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirbciWRE0K
Leo couldn't help but notice Angel's eyes light up with a smile. He concluded that the place must really mean something for her to brighten up like she did. He wondered what it could be.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTNECfIuzz
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNCb7Pyjv2
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV3LLWb5XG
The car stopped at a junction and as soon as the traffic lights turned green, Bill took a left turn entering the road Angel mentioned he should take. Within a few minutes of driving, Angel sat at the edge of her seat and tapped Bill on the shoulder.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o5UFycrim

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo56dJAqWp
"It's the best café I know around here," Angel said to him. "If you happen to know any shop, we're open to your opinion. But if I remember correctly, you're the one who actually asked for help."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwVOG4i94t
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRNlPwCnZ

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMMyqEvmwx
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1rkRhGGCV
Angel shook her head as she turned to look forward. Bill slowly pulled the car over and packed right in front of the café.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmuJASFwfm

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctrRZt5GrI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQsOIsbfkH
"What is she so excited about?" Leo muttered to himself. Bill heard him, but didn't answer as he watched Angel outside the car approach the café.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMZXo4Pr0A
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf9Ia1xJnL
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8uFN045bK
Leo got out and closed the door. He straightened his jacket as he came up the pavement to stand next to Angel. He turned to look at her, expecting her to be looking at the café. Instead, she was looking in the opposite direction.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5VbyaJ7N
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO84XDcMLTB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyObPkfOn0
"Angel," Leo called to her, bringing her back from her thoughts. She turned to look at him. "Shall we?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvNmPmDoHR
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFxC0j0JZ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSUoeDsRCZ
"Oh, yes," she said as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAfzPdJPX9
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqdxxvqAH
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfeKtyTjK7
Angel made her way towards the café's entrance and Leo wanted to turn around to see what she had been looking at. But he realised that he didn't have the time. He followed Angel inside.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeryVVkgEU
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR5jtCVCrp
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtWU09qKLU
The rich smell of strong brewed coffee and the lovely, sweet smell of freshly baked pastries, hit Leo's nose in an instant. The place also felt so warm and welcoming. When he looked around, he found the place almost packed with people seated around coffee brown tables, having a hot beverage. Some had a pastry to go with it. It's still the early hours of the morning, so many people were probably here to grab something to eat before they head to work.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfINHhNHPp6
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYZ6KkQbTm
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xy2qDoa2j
He found Angel standing in line like the other customers, heading for the counter. Thank goodness it wasn't long. She was looking at the pastries in the glass display case. He came to join her and realised she had a smile again. He looked at the tiny, bright coloured cupcakes and wondered what it is about them that made her smile like that. He noticed the croissants, neatly arranged in a tray. They looked like they had just come straight out of the oven.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr3EuvXe4U
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HTx95gsub
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjli4B1KPfl
Leo turned to look at Angel who soon straightened up. The line had moved a little and the two had to move along with it.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PiCdmjJxD

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKZmio7gDA
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPp1FtZik
Angel's raised an eyebrow wanting to turn her head to look at him but she kept looking at the lovely pastries in the display case. "What do you mean?" she asked.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGccs4imZkK
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CMBYEHt3L
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN89QuQEp8
He had his hands in the pockets and his eyes now looking around the café. He didn't like to repeat himself, ever. He silently sighed before he repeated the question. "What was with that smile earlier? You were smiling at those cupcakes."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc2xZGdVkN
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdaoEOuWua
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7ysn19WG
"Oh, that," the line moved again as another customer got their order and made their way out of the café. "It's nothing."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNlhM3uHK8
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Z9N7voA2
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw0DtdZbd1
Leo looked at the back of Angel's head and wondered if what she says is true. To him that smile meant a whole lot more than he made himself believe. He soon realised he didn't want to know the reason behind it.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7YjTy9oic
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIj2XEmKcI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aRYsyMYNE
The two were now getting closer to the counter and when they did, they found a young woman in a black shirt and trousers. She smiled at Angel.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDzLMi5qni
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRypIz5ahyq
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f9AWaTYCI

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfNjOQlSN9
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDsyIdLMNf
"We'll have some croissants, please," Angel replied, "uh...." She turned her head to look at Leo. "How many should we get?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKx0Vg2dqF
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1s1Hc39zH
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gaXLLg2cY

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgbKZSbQJu
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtNvioe9SI
Angel rolled her eyes, realising that asking him was a bad idea. She turned back to the cashier and told her that they would get four croissants.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN95WbZZ6eI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwXdJqvf7p
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3N5Sy8Qf
The cashier left her place to get the croissants inside the display case. While she packed the croissants in a brown paper bag, Leo stood beside Angel to give her a look.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyLLljAgrj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWReQbv2K0g
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj232ZfRp9x

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQQVoqeWYu
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc9HoLUh6R
"Because I thought it appropriate," Angel replied without looking at him, her eyes were back on the display case. "There will only be two people so two croissants for each of them sounds fair."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYMrmahL11
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNom1ErpsDo
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLp17gWZRV
Leo didn't say anything else as he folded his arms. He wished for the cashier to hurry with packing their order. He couldn't stand another minute with Angel by his side.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ6vT3T2gn
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke5VohNqNn
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZAfg5zEpg
The cashier came back with the brown paper bag. She punched in the numbers on the cash register and told them the price. Leo quickly drew out his wallet and paid in cash. Angel thanked the cashier and took the bag. She and Leo turned around to head for the door.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwjes76P5O

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO4UrkPmv2
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5LSHTaU0

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVSFu2RY2C
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKWEkg2bT7

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g55qMeHlS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknCspPRxRc
As soon as they approached the door of the café, Leo held the handle to open it and allow Angel out first. As soon as he did, Angel suddenly paused as there was someone right at the door, ready to get in.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXkhHWuhw3
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2heC2AGjY
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMAwg7gs92
Leo noticed Angel's hesitation quickly and turned to see who was standing right outside the café. His heart skipped a beat and he felt like quickly closing the door and opening it again to see if all this was nothing but a dream. His morning couldn't get any worse than this.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3klbCXMHIG

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRBMBGfTB7
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEkG2OQplu

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XtvuPCnrN
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh8EKL4Jiz

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTbVjMXKwO
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh75sIZGGyC
"They were not wrong there." Angel gave Kim a smile. She turned to look at Leo who still stood by the door. He slowly stepped out of the café and just by the look on his face, she could tell how uncomfortable he is with Kim around.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR8R79q5Yj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y8VceYQWV
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsOdayALhH

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tdMlgyJQg
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9FdWbTO5R

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgn2cQfFYt
Kim looked at the ground as she passed Leo, opening the door of the café and stepping in. Angel turned to look at Leo who still looked white-faced after seeing Kim.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoxDQjj0AM
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qni6HQpvj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8ujmg0RzU

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVfAoY1aHE
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4owFAAqQpQ
Leo's composure came back to him in an instant as he gave Angel a look. He knew she was definitely mocking him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFGMbmf0I6
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnpdTY57PJ

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0gezdRGIz
Angel had reached the car and was just about to open the door to the passenger's side when she looked at Leo. "Kim is what I mean," she answered.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYZ6TJCQoV
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGROFgWbKrH
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjie2XkCSE3
Leo rolled his eyes as he found himself on the opposite side of the car. "Very funny, Angel. Let's just get out of here. I want to go to the office and forget that all of this happened."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYe1W7MXIB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mNglJLO5h
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3jzZ5sNlz
He saw Angel smirk before she turned her head to look across the street. There was a certain look on her face that Leo noticed. It was the same look she had when they got here. He turned to see what she could be looking at, but he heard the door at her side open and she quickly went in. He opened the door on his side, getting a glimpse of the stores across the street. He entered the car, thinking that she was probably looking at nothing.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SACdDnsjZ

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERNA4eBu4T
