Angel put the article 631Please respect copyright.PENANAphCmoDxHxY
she was looking at aside on her desk as she sat back on her chair 631Please respect copyright.PENANAQEgil972DV
feeling troubled. Carly kept coming onto her mind now and then and it 631Please respect copyright.PENANAyKO8ShsXxk
wasn't making her think properly. She thought about what her mother had 631Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZqunGsTn
said. And it was quite clear that her mother didn't trust Carly like she631Please respect copyright.PENANAiQGiaYz2kI
did before.631Please respect copyright.PENANAwVKYG8TBDP
Angel was too lost in 631Please respect copyright.PENANAgfSrJa0YOT
her thoughts that she didn't even hear a knock on the door. All she 631Please respect copyright.PENANAC5PxWRFwrv
realised afterwards was someone standing in front of her.631Please respect copyright.PENANAg0uUpNH7Rz
"Lost in your own thoughts I see," came a deep voice.631Please respect copyright.PENANAyPwxjih9Hp
Angel looked up and she 631Please respect copyright.PENANAqpUtjGTnGh
was staring at the director of the editing company, Mark Dean. His tall 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8sTVdW5BzL
frame cast a shadow over Angel and he wore a magnificent navy blue suit.631Please respect copyright.PENANAcJcRVAziB9
His sleek black hair was combed back revealing a handsome face. His 631Please respect copyright.PENANA6DZADsGyVw
dark blue eyes stared right down at her and Angel couldn't help but feel631Please respect copyright.PENANABBCWo1cgtz
nervous.631Please respect copyright.PENANAqG4n5b1v6K
She quickly stood up from her chair and yet Mark Dean still seemed a whole lot taller than her.631Please respect copyright.PENANAJnz5vf8oUu
"Good morning, Mr Dean," greeted Angel, "I wasn't expecting you here."631Please respect copyright.PENANAWPcRlv8aE4
"Just thought of passing around to see how everything was going," said Mark, "and you seem a little preoccupied, Angel."631Please respect copyright.PENANAmmWXpoJekQ
"I... well, somethings have been running through my mind, thats all."631Please respect copyright.PENANA2woYxMD23y
"Is it family related?" Mark's voice sounded deep and serious.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWyhB599hbK
"Well, it is, Mr Dean."631Please respect copyright.PENANAzBQdqKKYSP
"You know I don't like being formal, Angel. It's best if you call me by my first name for once."631Please respect copyright.PENANAmXBMgLWnVy
"Sorry, it's just that you're my boss and all," Angel looked down at her fingers as she blushed.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXGhbknJ2X3
"Well, from now onwards I want you to call me by name. I'm not old you know?" Mark gave her a cocky smile.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXW25AOL6JF
Angel smiled back at him. Mark held her chin to lift her face a little higher. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAWUSUooVIpU
"That's the smile I was looking for," said Mark, "you look beautiful when you smile."631Please respect copyright.PENANAvaELM6iNkj
Angel could feel her 631Please respect copyright.PENANARezP4EbdFt
cheeks blush even more. The temperature in the room seemed higher than 631Please respect copyright.PENANAgiIZqksO5C
normal. The spot where his fingers held her chin sent electric pulses 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdS5HUR2PjL
down her body. Her body started to shudder a little and her knees felt 631Please respect copyright.PENANAa2lskLKGe5
like they were going to buckle.631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Vba4UfgG
"I seriously like it when you smile. You look like an angel just like your name says it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAkn0whxj3Ox
"I...eh, thank you, Mr De.... oh, I mean Mark," hesistated Angel.631Please respect copyright.PENANAHld9boDkWR
Mark's fingers finally let go of her chin and the spot where his fingers touched Angel's chin felt hotter than her face. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvQeKfz614s
Mark just smiled at her 631Please respect copyright.PENANAP04Gbbof26
and Angel turned to look the other way. She knew Mark Dean was a very 631Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hoehl3ryn
handsome man and every female who worked around here always talked about631Please respect copyright.PENANAxmS99j2wdT
him. They always tried to flirt with him whenever he came around. He 631Please respect copyright.PENANAerJc9Jh5i9
too was also a flirt and he could take any girl's heart away just by a 631Please respect copyright.PENANAJnnY7U6VGG
single word and crushes it so easily afterwards. He was a heartbreaker, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAXwhOV96aDs
that's for sure.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWmpOQ8hyTo
"I came here to ask if 631Please respect copyright.PENANAOCKj6v80wo
you would be busy this afternoon," said Mark, "but seeing that you have 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvjZuZDrwMo
too much on your plate, I came at the wrong time."631Please respect copyright.PENANAIzh1O5Vk6j
"Well, you might say that," said Angel, "too many things are on my mind right now."631Please respect copyright.PENANAu2v5qx2O4K
"Why don't you just take the day off? I'll grant you that if you want."631Please respect copyright.PENANAndEOx0TS8B
"No, its okay, I..."631Please respect copyright.PENANAfHWrr3nsJC
Suddenly, Mark's index finger rested upon Angel's lips to silence her. Angel looked at him, stunned.631Please respect copyright.PENANAoVXsyocAfS
"You take the day off," said Mark, "and don't try to refuse, okay?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAwGARop1PFX
Angel nodded in 631Please respect copyright.PENANAsC3jrDXtqT
agreement like a little child and Mark just smiled. His index finger 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvA3yNDgJO0
rested on her lips for a moment and he slowly backed away. He gave her a631Please respect copyright.PENANAZVhF05eT23
wink and headed out of the office.631Please respect copyright.PENANASnwQyvzyEw
"Well, that was something," Angel said to herself.631Please respect copyright.PENANAA6VihuGRvJ
As Angel sat back down 631Please respect copyright.PENANARkXlsAIXwY
on her chair, her phone on the desk suddenly rang. She picked up the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbqvC89jb
phone and saw a number on the screen that she had never seen before. She631Please respect copyright.PENANACTZuHZmdl7
accepted the call and put the phone to her ear.631Please respect copyright.PENANAgVQTKtNfOl
"Hello?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAJuMCjLm7gm
"Hello, is this Angel Barclay, Carly's sister?" came a female voice at the other end of the line.631Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZkSPL1kAm
"Yes it is, may I know who I'm speaking to?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAnp4zEPXFys
"I'm Miranda, a friend of your sister. I called because what I'm about to tell you is very important."631Please respect copyright.PENANA39wYGA3Dnl
Angel's heart skipped a beat. "Is it about my sister?"631Please respect copyright.PENANArGasN1Nj7t
"I'm afraid it is and you're not going to like it."631Please respect copyright.PENANAUM5IzON0ZY
***631Please respect copyright.PENANAy25N0tORCK
Carly631Please respect copyright.PENANA5iFkHBowYY
took in a deep breath before she could open the door to the club. She 631Please respect copyright.PENANAJnOOABJV89
looked left and right down the street hoping that anybody she knew 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8oarC5S0yT
didn't see her come here. Luckily, the street seemed a little quiet and 631Please respect copyright.PENANATK9MNpRKmr
for the first time, it felt awkward. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhCqrkGZxkP
She631Please respect copyright.PENANAAOUZB2F5rQ
stared at the neon sign above which was off during the day and on at 631Please respect copyright.PENANAcb1etnHEmG
night, which read "Walters' Club." For a moment she wondered what would 631Please respect copyright.PENANAsE5q0kTfzo
happen if her sister and her mother found out about this place. They 631Please respect copyright.PENANAh8XsiyEDNO
would obviously be disappointed and probably devastated. But all that 631Please respect copyright.PENANAywcoCX2Otn
didn't matter now, she had to meet her client and she had to have a 631Please respect copyright.PENANAaw6eETwQbX
clear mind. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAM9lgwXhxgs
Angel631Please respect copyright.PENANAOdwAVZhdfx
breathed out heavily and she pushed the door open and stepped into the 631Please respect copyright.PENANATk9T2hxciA
partially dark club. The place looked a little empty with a few chairs 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8nqttvTQo5
up on the tables. People who worked around the club as janitors were 631Please respect copyright.PENANAwMKKttScV1
busy sweeping up the place and by the bar where they served drinks, she 631Please respect copyright.PENANA5XioZVVbru
saw Mr Walters taking a few shots of whiskey. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAK4gFNMXLHL
Mr Walters was a big 631Please respect copyright.PENANAivBkGI7zTW
tall man, with a bald head and an enormous pot belly. He was a good man,631Please respect copyright.PENANAPLX5NejwqS
but if you ever took him for granted, he wasn't the type of person you 631Please respect copyright.PENANAfRxugPGL3g
would like to hang around with.631Please respect copyright.PENANAe8smQMWg0d
Mr631Please respect copyright.PENANAbl8XCJZkSj
Walters noticed Carly and beckoned her with his huge fingers filled 631Please respect copyright.PENANAASFXz0uQzI
with gold and silver rings to come over. Carly did as she was instructed631Please respect copyright.PENANAzH9FnE6trl
to.631Please respect copyright.PENANAFOUAHWeksz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMAMayV6EDs
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0vIbX21xKu
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0KTsdMqnuR
"It's good you made it, Carly," said Mr Walters as he took in another shot of whiskey. "He's been waiting for you."631Please respect copyright.PENANAx72Tlskiq6
"Why is Leo here when he's supposed to be getting married today?" Carly asked. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAjtlAQyAJaW
"That, I'm not so sure," answered Mr Walters, "did you do something to him last night?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAgzcZbYjDSe
"Apart from getting down dirty and dancing for his friends, no."631Please respect copyright.PENANA3OSAPETrUD
"Oh, I hope so," said Mr Walters sternly, "you obviously did something to him. I hope he doesn't have any feelings for you."631Please respect copyright.PENANAVL9WJJZBb2
"I'm hoping the same. So, where is he?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAVjyFFtvfWA
"He's waiting for you in my office. Let's go."631Please respect copyright.PENANA2h09oJtf2b
Mr631Please respect copyright.PENANAgbs1t0IYsp
Walters got up from the stool and started heading towards his office 631Please respect copyright.PENANAKXYfkTf2Iw
with Carly at a steady pace behind him. His office was based upstairs 631Please respect copyright.PENANAK0jFZN9HB3
where the VIP lounge was also. They got to the end of the hall after the631Please respect copyright.PENANAzQJCnroMSF
VIP lounge and they came across a wooden door which led to his office. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAxdML3aVOqy
Mr631Please respect copyright.PENANAuN5hNcfpKi
Walters turned the door knob and they went inside his office. The dark 631Please respect copyright.PENANAPKPHU487Mz
velvet colour of the wallpaper in his office made the room seem a little631Please respect copyright.PENANAbLTl8T4eD4
darker than usual even if it was daylight outside. The bloody red soft 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvQGidrg1HI
carpet added to the scene and it made the room seem so seductive. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAgNVqDjrdze
Carly took in a slow deep breath and held it for a moment as she took in what she saw standing in front of her. 631Please respect copyright.PENANARaSEhiQQqE
He631Please respect copyright.PENANA9CxV8mggld
still looked as gorgeous as she had seen him last night. His amazing 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFj2W3RNsWM
blonde hair, his dark blue eyes that you could easily get lost in when 631Please respect copyright.PENANAqSTFQqS9bN
you look right into them and his physique drew Carly's eyes all on him. 631Please respect copyright.PENANA6yCLMGLNtY
She couldn't stop staring at him and he couldn't stop staring back. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAKzEelrhEYh
Carly631Please respect copyright.PENANAR7QAWtSXRW
thought of saying something but she was stuck in between words. What 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEZBgUbzqBA
would she say? 'Hi' or 'What the hell did you come back here for?' For a631Please respect copyright.PENANABGyme9eeI6
second, she didn't want to be rude but then she needed to know why he 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEj6Rk9Gg3m
came here to see her. And at this early hour.631Please respect copyright.PENANAS3OVxM2W9P
"Mr631Please respect copyright.PENANAyWNJR03yOx
McDonell, I brought what you asked for," said Mr Walters, sounding more631Please respect copyright.PENANAhD7B31ZH8A
like a servant fulfilling his master's wish. "Should I give you two a 631Please respect copyright.PENANAimA2088YcK
moment?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA4tE5Gfh9hZ
"Yes, a moment will be fine," answered Leo.631Please respect copyright.PENANA8HTPYuk4jo
Carly631Please respect copyright.PENANA29JG672kg5
shuddered at the sound of his voice. She couldn't explain how she felt 631Please respect copyright.PENANASZmn0E5UsN
about it. Even though he didn't touch her, all it took was his voice to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlF6K0Bcrgx
make her feel like she was struck by lightning. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAk080MjJYaA
Mr631Please respect copyright.PENANAHSYyxbQ6wP
Walters quickly left the room, and Carly didn't notice until she heard 631Please respect copyright.PENANAqvevZzuBdb
the sound of the door close behind her. She was left all alone with 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlaGZ0nJJ3l
Leo. Her legs suddenly felt like jelly. This was the first time she had 631Please respect copyright.PENANA5gOfCdz2nx
ever felt this way towards a client. And the question that was running 631Please respect copyright.PENANArpROAHOobm
through her head at the moment was 'Why?'631Please respect copyright.PENANA6DkA41hzMO
Leo put his hands into 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhRLY113hNQ
the pockets of his trousers and started coming towards her. Carly felt 631Please respect copyright.PENANARqu1LC89A3
like backing away as his tall huge frame made her feel so small and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAx1s2TNb1WN
insignificant, but she just stood there. His blue eyes looked straight 631Please respect copyright.PENANAeBoBTyk416
into hers and his strong musky scent made Carly crave for him.631Please respect copyright.PENANARQxi4UJwZb
When Leo was just inches631Please respect copyright.PENANAV3VtaOSm1w
away from her, he stopped in his tracks and stared at her. Carly 631Please respect copyright.PENANAKc9HZxu553
swallowed as no words still came out of her mouth.631Please respect copyright.PENANAk4uNn0QGrr
"So, we meet again, Carly Barclay," said Leo.631Please respect copyright.PENANARTPcSzZXdb
***631Please respect copyright.PENANA3XEX7EMSUM
A631Please respect copyright.PENANANg5rVSnV0w
knock on the door made Mrs Barclay almost drop the broom to the floor. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEwDmC5rWoM
She was stuck in the her thoughts busy thinking about Carly while she 631Please respect copyright.PENANAX58f9X7toD
cleaned the kitchen. She went to the front door to open it. 631Please respect copyright.PENANA4bQM60tNZm
"Oh, it's you," said Mrs Barclay, "could you've knocked properly? You almost startled me to death."631Please respect copyright.PENANAVkU4gSZXTP
"Sorry,631Please respect copyright.PENANA2DnFv6Yz5Q
Lisa, I knocked twice and you didn't seem to answer. May I come in?" 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFkLcHWlqRq
came a voice from the person who was standing by the door. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAI2dBbsbGzV
"Oh, yes, please do come in," offered Mrs Barclay as she stood aside to allow her visitor in.631Please respect copyright.PENANAoRYE5GGSAz
Her631Please respect copyright.PENANARyVbfKcn7d
visitor stepped inside the house looking really smart in his black suit631Please respect copyright.PENANAaRYMaYHveL
and his shining black hair with a little grey by the temples was combed631Please respect copyright.PENANAecrba4SVJh
back making him look handsome.631Please respect copyright.PENANApTGn9u8txa
"Well,631Please respect copyright.PENANAjzbzK4EHKt
you look smart today," commented Mrs Barclay as she led her visitor to 631Please respect copyright.PENANA235LHciTrI
her sitting room, "oh, I remember now. It's your son's wedding today, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAoEf1m5bjqc
isn't it?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAJycjdOaiZc
Mr McDonell couldn't hide that brilliant smile on his face and that even made him more handsome despite his old age.631Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q0VH2LB1T
"It is, Lisa, and I couldn't even feel more proud of him," said Mr McDonell, "why shouldn't I be happy?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAY2OXvaTcrI
"You have every right to be, my friend," said Mrs Barclay, "but why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at the wedding?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAfaCcUBd2mS
"My wife is getting things ready and I felt bored just standing around that busy house doing nothing."631Please respect copyright.PENANAQGZoZuixEu
"I bet its going to be a grand wedding since your wife is doing all the preparations."631Please respect copyright.PENANAEKjjmXdcPV
"I know it will. And I just didn't come here because I was bored. I came here to invite you to the wedding myself."631Please respect copyright.PENANARDvD07SsKI
Mrs Barclay looked at him with a surprised look on her face. "What? Me to your wedding? No, I don't think thats appropriate."631Please respect copyright.PENANAQhsW36bfYQ
"What are you saying, Lisa? You've been my best friend since we were kids. At least let me share my happiness with you."631Please respect copyright.PENANArRLMcl4vkS
"I don't know. Your wife scares me sometimes, you know. The last time we met, things didn't go well, remember?"631Please respect copyright.PENANAXYB6CBVC5r
"Ya,631Please respect copyright.PENANAZC6mYYqIof
I know. But she will have to go through me first. And besides, my 631Please respect copyright.PENANA85o73sSfeZ
mother will be very happy to see you after such a long time."631Please respect copyright.PENANAUEJYMskhqu
"I will consider that. It would've been lovely if I had to go with one of my daughters to the wedding."631Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zt7RYU6Ou
"You can come along with one of them if you like. I don't think it will be that much of a big deal."631Please respect copyright.PENANAQTsMijZLiM
"Well, alright. You just make yourself comfortable and I will see if I can call Angel from work."631Please respect copyright.PENANA0pY1tqFh8t
"Yes, you do that."631Please respect copyright.PENANAOPllvsGZ32
As631Please respect copyright.PENANAuG9bPrGfUp
Mr McDonell took a seat on one of comfortable sofas, Mrs Barclay went 631Please respect copyright.PENANA48VINPW2hw
to the kitchen where she left her phone. As soon as she walked into the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9fO4K18t7
kitchen and headed towards the sink, she suddenly felt dizzy as though 631Please respect copyright.PENANAyHd4CSihPM
something just hit her head hard. She stood for a while to control the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAY5hXrxVOGs
dizziness. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAW5iWbqG3gp
As631Please respect copyright.PENANA5lUTnhmOny
soon as it went, she slowly continued walking towards the sink and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlNsML1f7Vi
right on top of the sink was the window. And on the window sill was the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAjevmwWlz6Q
phone. As she got the phone, she suddenly felt her heart ache and that 631Please respect copyright.PENANA1eGHbwgNTQ
something was really wrong. Was any one of her daughters in trouble? Or 631Please respect copyright.PENANA1tMQ6GXHhl
is it something else? 631Please respect copyright.PENANA4RMuZt2GBZ
Then631Please respect copyright.PENANA7dRhgzGSko
she heard footsteps coming in from the sitting room and she knew Mr 631Please respect copyright.PENANAPFVR2NHIbF
McDonell was coming in to check up on her. The pain in her heart 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdN8JjseVVW
increased and Mrs Barclay wondered what was happening to her.631Please respect copyright.PENANArTL1YdGQIu
"Lisa, are you alright?" Mr McDonell's voice could be heard by the door which led to the kitchen. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAaeVcUe8yy3
Mrs631Please respect copyright.PENANApQjH44P2G5
Barclay looked up and realised that her sight was getting all blurry. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhLY8GmpCsP
The dizziness came in again and the phone in her hand dropped to the 631Please respect copyright.PENANA6ejJ8gcHRy
floor.631Please respect copyright.PENANATd44ekKTH9
"Angel, call her, call 631Please respect copyright.PENANAGI4ppDySPH
Angel," she muttered weakly. She could hear Mr McDonell rushing towards 631Please respect copyright.PENANAUAZ4nj3huK
her to keep her from falling to the floor. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAU8PsO5sv93
And the next thing she knew, she was falling into oblivion.
