Angel put the article 630Please respect copyright.PENANAgLHYhHAKMK
she was looking at aside on her desk as she sat back on her chair 630Please respect copyright.PENANAhHEG8XD06D
feeling troubled. Carly kept coming onto her mind now and then and it 630Please respect copyright.PENANA7gTosHUqLB
wasn't making her think properly. She thought about what her mother had 630Please respect copyright.PENANAGgbs5ON5BP
said. And it was quite clear that her mother didn't trust Carly like she630Please respect copyright.PENANArEIEnF0aeK
did before.630Please respect copyright.PENANAGlHPohIg4T
Angel was too lost in 630Please respect copyright.PENANAlvXTHAHiZC
her thoughts that she didn't even hear a knock on the door. All she 630Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rdfncwian
realised afterwards was someone standing in front of her.630Please respect copyright.PENANAcGuzu6eLF4
"Lost in your own thoughts I see," came a deep voice.630Please respect copyright.PENANAtyMrzI9Ft7
Angel looked up and she 630Please respect copyright.PENANAZWvYB2JVVn
was staring at the director of the editing company, Mark Dean. His tall 630Please respect copyright.PENANAifofMen1BO
frame cast a shadow over Angel and he wore a magnificent navy blue suit.630Please respect copyright.PENANA2J6QD63B7u
His sleek black hair was combed back revealing a handsome face. His 630Please respect copyright.PENANAMtedBUyZ68
dark blue eyes stared right down at her and Angel couldn't help but feel630Please respect copyright.PENANAfsuM5gueYD
nervous.630Please respect copyright.PENANACyl1bB0wJb
She quickly stood up from her chair and yet Mark Dean still seemed a whole lot taller than her.630Please respect copyright.PENANAkX7z315Xor
"Good morning, Mr Dean," greeted Angel, "I wasn't expecting you here."630Please respect copyright.PENANAphEGA0bSAB
"Just thought of passing around to see how everything was going," said Mark, "and you seem a little preoccupied, Angel."630Please respect copyright.PENANAxx3mDOwe3s
"I... well, somethings have been running through my mind, thats all."630Please respect copyright.PENANApMS7sHKaow
"Is it family related?" Mark's voice sounded deep and serious.630Please respect copyright.PENANAAYitbDpfrn
"Well, it is, Mr Dean."630Please respect copyright.PENANAqTPw54C62l
"You know I don't like being formal, Angel. It's best if you call me by my first name for once."630Please respect copyright.PENANAKU5EttnV2r
"Sorry, it's just that you're my boss and all," Angel looked down at her fingers as she blushed.630Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7aMv5kAi
"Well, from now onwards I want you to call me by name. I'm not old you know?" Mark gave her a cocky smile.630Please respect copyright.PENANAGpyrvTfAyD
Angel smiled back at him. Mark held her chin to lift her face a little higher. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAaU1N6fJLbV
"That's the smile I was looking for," said Mark, "you look beautiful when you smile."630Please respect copyright.PENANA3NwInK2bWK
Angel could feel her 630Please respect copyright.PENANA41rJK1CYFr
cheeks blush even more. The temperature in the room seemed higher than 630Please respect copyright.PENANANEo6nep8jb
normal. The spot where his fingers held her chin sent electric pulses 630Please respect copyright.PENANAUWSFl38P3f
down her body. Her body started to shudder a little and her knees felt 630Please respect copyright.PENANAgSB74OAOJP
like they were going to buckle.630Please respect copyright.PENANALdpxpVULXN
"I seriously like it when you smile. You look like an angel just like your name says it."630Please respect copyright.PENANAfIdH28VSO0
"I...eh, thank you, Mr De.... oh, I mean Mark," hesistated Angel.630Please respect copyright.PENANA69N03jTaQn
Mark's fingers finally let go of her chin and the spot where his fingers touched Angel's chin felt hotter than her face. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAjCvC7OfGse
Mark just smiled at her 630Please respect copyright.PENANAvgODoAdOvB
and Angel turned to look the other way. She knew Mark Dean was a very 630Please respect copyright.PENANA1BlRqCTNEf
handsome man and every female who worked around here always talked about630Please respect copyright.PENANAoWsqMCUiLO
him. They always tried to flirt with him whenever he came around. He 630Please respect copyright.PENANAubDVD99r51
too was also a flirt and he could take any girl's heart away just by a 630Please respect copyright.PENANAdKo3dWZjsR
single word and crushes it so easily afterwards. He was a heartbreaker, 630Please respect copyright.PENANAGmgjeSNgf3
that's for sure.630Please respect copyright.PENANAHml8PqoWYy
"I came here to ask if 630Please respect copyright.PENANA3UWhaL9dai
you would be busy this afternoon," said Mark, "but seeing that you have 630Please respect copyright.PENANA2JYOi9ZTPd
too much on your plate, I came at the wrong time."630Please respect copyright.PENANAvyipx5ZA4A
"Well, you might say that," said Angel, "too many things are on my mind right now."630Please respect copyright.PENANAZUE05QsrPN
"Why don't you just take the day off? I'll grant you that if you want."630Please respect copyright.PENANAmtjdAw4CXz
"No, its okay, I..."630Please respect copyright.PENANAfFR0QKI8yt
Suddenly, Mark's index finger rested upon Angel's lips to silence her. Angel looked at him, stunned.630Please respect copyright.PENANAfBaaNCV8hB
"You take the day off," said Mark, "and don't try to refuse, okay?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAhgRbImK01T
Angel nodded in 630Please respect copyright.PENANA0zbl4PRCEY
agreement like a little child and Mark just smiled. His index finger 630Please respect copyright.PENANAmU8ntc6Vps
rested on her lips for a moment and he slowly backed away. He gave her a630Please respect copyright.PENANAYiTlscGe59
wink and headed out of the office.630Please respect copyright.PENANAwbyQCUd5Jb
"Well, that was something," Angel said to herself.630Please respect copyright.PENANAgkSyr6c6XJ
As Angel sat back down 630Please respect copyright.PENANAdgO9Borr4W
on her chair, her phone on the desk suddenly rang. She picked up the 630Please respect copyright.PENANAlg0Z8lGua2
phone and saw a number on the screen that she had never seen before. She630Please respect copyright.PENANAa9HpJDCXFU
accepted the call and put the phone to her ear.630Please respect copyright.PENANA2TUgdEfZxj
"Hello?"630Please respect copyright.PENANA6DyJK3RByP
"Hello, is this Angel Barclay, Carly's sister?" came a female voice at the other end of the line.630Please respect copyright.PENANAwJFrNBrcHo
"Yes it is, may I know who I'm speaking to?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAxZTk5z9Ohu
"I'm Miranda, a friend of your sister. I called because what I'm about to tell you is very important."630Please respect copyright.PENANAsfmPhMGarQ
Angel's heart skipped a beat. "Is it about my sister?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAvKmF08yuuf
"I'm afraid it is and you're not going to like it."630Please respect copyright.PENANAXYoUzS9YLA
***630Please respect copyright.PENANAP3Nan7M9Ml
Carly630Please respect copyright.PENANAaExOMBpsb3
took in a deep breath before she could open the door to the club. She 630Please respect copyright.PENANAv5V9zajH2s
looked left and right down the street hoping that anybody she knew 630Please respect copyright.PENANAGi9IDEcOHv
didn't see her come here. Luckily, the street seemed a little quiet and 630Please respect copyright.PENANAd9CKCl6jUM
for the first time, it felt awkward. 630Please respect copyright.PENANALoDxVCD1xq
She630Please respect copyright.PENANAxlwTBVaK5r
stared at the neon sign above which was off during the day and on at 630Please respect copyright.PENANAnyj7wJP9yo
night, which read "Walters' Club." For a moment she wondered what would 630Please respect copyright.PENANADYycUzz6MA
happen if her sister and her mother found out about this place. They 630Please respect copyright.PENANAwdibooVgNO
would obviously be disappointed and probably devastated. But all that 630Please respect copyright.PENANAiztkRBRA8C
didn't matter now, she had to meet her client and she had to have a 630Please respect copyright.PENANAlxd9RVPn9S
clear mind. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAkaHAW3QmHx
Angel630Please respect copyright.PENANANZ9hpM7EuX
breathed out heavily and she pushed the door open and stepped into the 630Please respect copyright.PENANAF70WZk1zUU
partially dark club. The place looked a little empty with a few chairs 630Please respect copyright.PENANAQBTjtcXIuM
up on the tables. People who worked around the club as janitors were 630Please respect copyright.PENANAb4NgCZdRFc
busy sweeping up the place and by the bar where they served drinks, she 630Please respect copyright.PENANAMjVUewDKpg
saw Mr Walters taking a few shots of whiskey. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAwibYnjJeYs
Mr Walters was a big 630Please respect copyright.PENANAsoIJEoixiG
tall man, with a bald head and an enormous pot belly. He was a good man,630Please respect copyright.PENANAYT4ZSXedMJ
but if you ever took him for granted, he wasn't the type of person you 630Please respect copyright.PENANANXgURcbHWb
would like to hang around with.630Please respect copyright.PENANA0tXh51mOWg
Mr630Please respect copyright.PENANA5yFd3zJwVN
Walters noticed Carly and beckoned her with his huge fingers filled 630Please respect copyright.PENANAaqnWfTo9V2
with gold and silver rings to come over. Carly did as she was instructed630Please respect copyright.PENANA9bjriPJgcG
to.630Please respect copyright.PENANA5RbhEoWOCY
630Please respect copyright.PENANA09vN0t9MLc
630Please respect copyright.PENANAHznmCF6ToI
630Please respect copyright.PENANAMm5d3JHUF0
"It's good you made it, Carly," said Mr Walters as he took in another shot of whiskey. "He's been waiting for you."630Please respect copyright.PENANAUnctVA9Chn
"Why is Leo here when he's supposed to be getting married today?" Carly asked. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAOoI1AJJfW9
"That, I'm not so sure," answered Mr Walters, "did you do something to him last night?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAQfHkyJJQqL
"Apart from getting down dirty and dancing for his friends, no."630Please respect copyright.PENANAq1vBLKtY6E
"Oh, I hope so," said Mr Walters sternly, "you obviously did something to him. I hope he doesn't have any feelings for you."630Please respect copyright.PENANA4kc1W053im
"I'm hoping the same. So, where is he?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAlCObXHuuOW
"He's waiting for you in my office. Let's go."630Please respect copyright.PENANAIN6pulbtvc
Mr630Please respect copyright.PENANAuYXCzeyPEB
Walters got up from the stool and started heading towards his office 630Please respect copyright.PENANA3FU85oA6PM
with Carly at a steady pace behind him. His office was based upstairs 630Please respect copyright.PENANA5nQSOTzGGx
where the VIP lounge was also. They got to the end of the hall after the630Please respect copyright.PENANAQqjJ9zJIDN
VIP lounge and they came across a wooden door which led to his office. 630Please respect copyright.PENANA04N94oZYsh
Mr630Please respect copyright.PENANAz4vaQlhVJ5
Walters turned the door knob and they went inside his office. The dark 630Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1zfqVKuTj
velvet colour of the wallpaper in his office made the room seem a little630Please respect copyright.PENANAGxtrqPoBHC
darker than usual even if it was daylight outside. The bloody red soft 630Please respect copyright.PENANA4trRDO17fb
carpet added to the scene and it made the room seem so seductive. 630Please respect copyright.PENANADOFKlQUskd
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. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAhRx7Fin9gD
He630Please respect copyright.PENANAxOAQ1K2uL6
still looked as gorgeous as she had seen him last night. His amazing 630Please respect copyright.PENANAaPRzBrCRgN
blonde hair, his dark blue eyes that you could easily get lost in when 630Please respect copyright.PENANARJoiWyjok3
you look right into them and his physique drew Carly's eyes all on him. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAGrYEMKBng1
She couldn't stop staring at him and he couldn't stop staring back. 630Please respect copyright.PENANATuH97cmaSU
Carly630Please respect copyright.PENANA6PnvFXyO5e
thought of saying something but she was stuck in between words. What 630Please respect copyright.PENANAiseF0p3q2d
would she say? 'Hi' or 'What the hell did you come back here for?' For a630Please respect copyright.PENANAIKNibgFGwe
second, she didn't want to be rude but then she needed to know why he 630Please respect copyright.PENANAVhWBTtjJFM
came here to see her. And at this early hour.630Please respect copyright.PENANAAybQxoqqFW
"Mr630Please respect copyright.PENANAtHjPQOqkLx
McDonell, I brought what you asked for," said Mr Walters, sounding more630Please respect copyright.PENANA0UXcJBl4za
like a servant fulfilling his master's wish. "Should I give you two a 630Please respect copyright.PENANAfWkQ282k1S
moment?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAz5QZuKxJIU
"Yes, a moment will be fine," answered Leo.630Please respect copyright.PENANAjlSFvSwSSr
Carly630Please respect copyright.PENANAwCfpIXAvLy
shuddered at the sound of his voice. She couldn't explain how she felt 630Please respect copyright.PENANAG5zoWGm6bU
about it. Even though he didn't touch her, all it took was his voice to 630Please respect copyright.PENANAcIB3O1El7g
make her feel like she was struck by lightning. 630Please respect copyright.PENANA5yd5bB7MYq
Mr630Please respect copyright.PENANA3mjrfvDVgj
Walters quickly left the room, and Carly didn't notice until she heard 630Please respect copyright.PENANAgFZxQDTPNs
the sound of the door close behind her. She was left all alone with 630Please respect copyright.PENANAYts6hOKp2p
Leo. Her legs suddenly felt like jelly. This was the first time she had 630Please respect copyright.PENANAcBxmaM9jxD
ever felt this way towards a client. And the question that was running 630Please respect copyright.PENANAYdiyNpihGF
through her head at the moment was 'Why?'630Please respect copyright.PENANAbhEuXGeiZg
Leo put his hands into 630Please respect copyright.PENANAwzgc8E8Fjm
the pockets of his trousers and started coming towards her. Carly felt 630Please respect copyright.PENANAPNdNGZVtNj
like backing away as his tall huge frame made her feel so small and 630Please respect copyright.PENANA69eNWlMSV6
insignificant, but she just stood there. His blue eyes looked straight 630Please respect copyright.PENANA87gpd0V7MN
into hers and his strong musky scent made Carly crave for him.630Please respect copyright.PENANA7UoNsteCjJ
When Leo was just inches630Please respect copyright.PENANAPdIVz3Y2SV
away from her, he stopped in his tracks and stared at her. Carly 630Please respect copyright.PENANAo2ATuNPQQL
swallowed as no words still came out of her mouth.630Please respect copyright.PENANACQLKk6LR8z
"So, we meet again, Carly Barclay," said Leo.630Please respect copyright.PENANA3fQSRIpZIw
***630Please respect copyright.PENANAIAvcNC01Yc
A630Please respect copyright.PENANAhfEg3qYzwx
knock on the door made Mrs Barclay almost drop the broom to the floor. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAXl0sJFgVxO
She was stuck in the her thoughts busy thinking about Carly while she 630Please respect copyright.PENANAELrzxwLHIU
cleaned the kitchen. She went to the front door to open it. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAgDKIqLLzsW
"Oh, it's you," said Mrs Barclay, "could you've knocked properly? You almost startled me to death."630Please respect copyright.PENANADUxYhsp0GY
"Sorry,630Please respect copyright.PENANA7nlQCZ1iZD
Lisa, I knocked twice and you didn't seem to answer. May I come in?" 630Please respect copyright.PENANAzOHE3EzrIA
came a voice from the person who was standing by the door. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAzns6N7vald
"Oh, yes, please do come in," offered Mrs Barclay as she stood aside to allow her visitor in.630Please respect copyright.PENANA48fTPCx3Ni
Her630Please respect copyright.PENANApIKwbNS8m9
visitor stepped inside the house looking really smart in his black suit630Please respect copyright.PENANATIOntYIzpC
and his shining black hair with a little grey by the temples was combed630Please respect copyright.PENANAfBZSAnLkWx
back making him look handsome.630Please respect copyright.PENANAGeWKM33AXt
"Well,630Please respect copyright.PENANAGPPZybDGEh
you look smart today," commented Mrs Barclay as she led her visitor to 630Please respect copyright.PENANACb756hLVaw
her sitting room, "oh, I remember now. It's your son's wedding today, 630Please respect copyright.PENANA3EQSiQKsnI
isn't it?"630Please respect copyright.PENANACnxekr0dTt
Mr McDonell couldn't hide that brilliant smile on his face and that even made him more handsome despite his old age.630Please respect copyright.PENANA4pVEWaieJu
"It is, Lisa, and I couldn't even feel more proud of him," said Mr McDonell, "why shouldn't I be happy?"630Please respect copyright.PENANA2lgP3Ypt3Y
"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?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAcsVv2mTErp
"My wife is getting things ready and I felt bored just standing around that busy house doing nothing."630Please respect copyright.PENANAaF5oo4UBFS
"I bet its going to be a grand wedding since your wife is doing all the preparations."630Please respect copyright.PENANAyKpJrONP5c
"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."630Please respect copyright.PENANAC91sxmmzz7
Mrs Barclay looked at him with a surprised look on her face. "What? Me to your wedding? No, I don't think thats appropriate."630Please respect copyright.PENANAMTE85Hom0h
"What are you saying, Lisa? You've been my best friend since we were kids. At least let me share my happiness with you."630Please respect copyright.PENANAfRc8AdX8nO
"I don't know. Your wife scares me sometimes, you know. The last time we met, things didn't go well, remember?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAFW7MjFNkxk
"Ya,630Please respect copyright.PENANAgX2y74kcp2
I know. But she will have to go through me first. And besides, my 630Please respect copyright.PENANATIoEVwdzri
mother will be very happy to see you after such a long time."630Please respect copyright.PENANAHc9AGsylDF
"I will consider that. It would've been lovely if I had to go with one of my daughters to the wedding."630Please respect copyright.PENANAMw0IYPC5bO
"You can come along with one of them if you like. I don't think it will be that much of a big deal."630Please respect copyright.PENANAn7pG5zaLZh
"Well, alright. You just make yourself comfortable and I will see if I can call Angel from work."630Please respect copyright.PENANA4iIvdHgAAB
"Yes, you do that."630Please respect copyright.PENANAoKSpmS90tS
As630Please respect copyright.PENANAbbRF94YvJB
Mr McDonell took a seat on one of comfortable sofas, Mrs Barclay went 630Please respect copyright.PENANAVflKB7fl1z
to the kitchen where she left her phone. As soon as she walked into the 630Please respect copyright.PENANAUjoYSNpTQv
kitchen and headed towards the sink, she suddenly felt dizzy as though 630Please respect copyright.PENANAcHksHZI09m
something just hit her head hard. She stood for a while to control the 630Please respect copyright.PENANAG7tClLC8XD
dizziness. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAv1O6uSnDyA
As630Please respect copyright.PENANAjLj98AVBZv
soon as it went, she slowly continued walking towards the sink and 630Please respect copyright.PENANAc51OMJvpBT
right on top of the sink was the window. And on the window sill was the 630Please respect copyright.PENANAsXla35c1hJ
phone. As she got the phone, she suddenly felt her heart ache and that 630Please respect copyright.PENANAM6antJmm47
something was really wrong. Was any one of her daughters in trouble? Or 630Please respect copyright.PENANAzDnNolGYj6
is it something else? 630Please respect copyright.PENANA8c48vgFPh8
Then630Please respect copyright.PENANAktU5G6vahv
she heard footsteps coming in from the sitting room and she knew Mr 630Please respect copyright.PENANAqQibQenOLK
McDonell was coming in to check up on her. The pain in her heart 630Please respect copyright.PENANAK2EekhBtqf
increased and Mrs Barclay wondered what was happening to her.630Please respect copyright.PENANAhOP56LNxKL
"Lisa, are you alright?" Mr McDonell's voice could be heard by the door which led to the kitchen. 630Please respect copyright.PENANA9uTO2Q61Xt
Mrs630Please respect copyright.PENANAagowU9pKbT
Barclay looked up and realised that her sight was getting all blurry. 630Please respect copyright.PENANAjhSa4QDq7G
The dizziness came in again and the phone in her hand dropped to the 630Please respect copyright.PENANArtSj18F6yD
floor.630Please respect copyright.PENANAQIuKwxt4Rg
"Angel, call her, call 630Please respect copyright.PENANAxP53Dk2E2o
Angel," she muttered weakly. She could hear Mr McDonell rushing towards 630Please respect copyright.PENANAkd3pMtLg1x
her to keep her from falling to the floor. 630Please respect copyright.PENANANZIUqXMcSm
And the next thing she knew, she was falling into oblivion.
