After finishing their dessert, there was joyful laughter and conversation all around the table. Everyone was actively participating except for one person in particular, whose mind seemed elsewhere. Angel did all she could to keep track of what was being said, but failed to do so. A funny feeling came over her now and then that something bad was going to happen if Leo were to see Kim and Trina.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkyRY4HPMQ

She smiled kindly at Mr. Cho, who addressed her, and never said as much as a simple “yes.” Now and then, she would try to look over her shoulder at Kim and Trina. However, every time she did, Eric would find her looking and would throw her a smile, thinking that she was looking at him. Pretending like nothing was going on, Angel would smile back and try her best to engage herself in the conversation.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5FyGlJhWJ

It was now time to leave, as the dinner event had finally ended. Angel felt relieved. Maybe if they left early, Leo wouldn’t have to see Kim or Trina. Mr. Cho and Mr. McDonell stood up to mark the end of their dinner date as they shook hands. Angel slowly stood up from the table before anyone else, and it was then that she saw Kim and Trina through the corner of her eye. Rising from their table, the two women made their way to the ladies' room.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6q2vhVEgH

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQveU6ySqXc
Trina and Kim entered the ladies’ room. They had noticed earlier that the McDonells had finished their dinner with the visitors, and Kim had told Trina that it was best to leave in case Leo looked across the room and noticed them.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAs4iw2yrH

“Good idea, Angel,” said Eric. “Leo and I were thinking of staying here for a while and exploring." Eric threw Leo a look, and Leo brought up a small smile. Carly smiled inward, knowing what Leo meant in the message he sent her.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamM5af7hep

Carly decided to go to the ladies’ room. Amanda and Diana said they would also come with her. Angel turned to look at the corner of the restaurant that led to the ladies’ room. Had Trina and Kim walked out without her noticing, or were they still in there? Should she follow Carly just in case? Angel didn’t know what to do.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UTZyMQ06y

Mr. Cho and his colleagues, together with Mr. McDonell, led the way out of the restaurant. Leo walked alongside his mother behind them, with Angel and Eric following behind them. Angel couldn’t help but watch the other three women on the other side of the room turn around the corner to the ladies’ room.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NgSg04ynO

A few seconds before everyone had started to leave the table, Trina had walked out of the ladies’ room first, with Kim still in the stall. She peeped around the corner before fully stepping out, and that was when she saw Carly, Diana, and Amanda heading in her direction. She quickly ran back in, and she knocked at the door of the stall Kim was occupying.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9b0hlSlz

Kim knew this was bad. With the three women coming here, she would miss her chance to follow Leo. Leaving this room was out of the question. If they meet Amanda, who is simply the smartest and most irritating person Kim has ever known, she will put two and two together and realize what’s going on.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqFigDuyBM

Kim took a deep breath and flushed the toilet before she quickly opened the door to the stall and rushed out. Trina was shell-shocked when she heard Kim rush out as she did. She wanted to go out as well, but she was too shocked to move. Kim, on the other hand, managed to wash her hands in the sink. Without drying them, she rushed out of the ladies’ room.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8IwfXtelz

Angel stood outside the restaurant with Eric, Oliver, and Leo. Mr. and Mrs. McDonell stood a few feet away from them, saying their last goodbyes to Mr. Cho. Marco said his goodbyes to the McDonells when he slowly started to approach the four waiting in front of the restaurant with his hands in the pockets of his black trousers. Eric and Leo looked at him like snakes, ready to strike at any provocation. Oliver and Angel didn’t pay him much attention at first.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOKenuhxKf

No sooner did Angel turn away to look at Marco, did Kim suddenly appear in the lobby of the restaurant, approaching the door. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Leo, with Angel, Oliver, and Eric beside him. They were with the other man they had dinner with. She couldn’t let them see her, so she went back into the dining area and decided to wait for Trina at the table they had been sitting at.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCjN8rJWKM

Carly left the ladies’ room and started to make her way to the restaurant’s front when a woman in a white dress quickly passed her with no warning, almost bumping into her. Carly stopped and watched the woman walk away, and it didn’t please her that the woman didn’t so much as apologize. Brushing the incident aside, Carly made her way to the entrance, where she found Marco looking straight at her when she walked out.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kNFFQhrVq

Angel continued to look at her sister, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It seems like she didn't meet Kim and Trina in the ladies' room, Angel thought. If she had, Carly was going to ask and might as well have told Leo about it. May be it was for the best if she hadn't seen them after all, Angel concluded.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ofPufN9Mx

A minute after Carly left the ladies’ room, Trina quickly walked out, breathing a sigh of relief that she hadn’t been caught. She hoped she would find Kim waiting for her outside the restaurant, but as soon as she walked around the corner, she felt her phone beep in her green purse. When she pulled it out, she saw a message from Kim telling her to come back to their table. Trina found Kim exactly where she said she would be and went over to join her.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXcOlAx0Ei

The two women walked out of the restaurant, looking both ways to make sure there was no one else from the McDonell family around. They watched Leo from a distance and started to follow.

At the entrance of the hotel, a black Chevrolet SUV pulled up, and the door to the passenger side flew open. Red Lion stepped out of it. He wore all black today, with a black leather jacket, shirt, jeans, and black boots. Hugo had come along with him as he appeared from the other side of the car.

“I hear something came up at the last minute,” said Red Lion. The door to the elevator flew open. A blue-eyed blonde woman walked out of the elevator, holding the hand of a young brown-haired girl. The two men entered the elevator. Hugo pressed the button to go to the floor, where they were supposed to go. The doors closed.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNTfeUSRjn

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0yGnA8UhT
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxfJWJx6SR
“You’re right,” said Red Lion. “But I have a good feeling about this one. And there will be fewer contingencies, I promise you that.” He indicated with his head to Hugo to knock on the door.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxryH4UO4r
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq8G4X8DiI

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pLpOhUphr

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSEPn0RQps
Before Walters could say anything, the door to the bathroom flew open, and Miranda walked out, humming to herself. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Red Lion and Hugo standing in the living room. Her face filled with horror when she saw Red Lion, as the memory of him back at the party came back to her.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbtOdIab0Q
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqjSUOoiem
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG74GIl6TJl
Red Lion smiled at her, remembering her as well. “I remember you,” he said. “You were the girl who couldn’t mind her own business, right?”468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7o8O8bkYH
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZT5fVorea

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrU9dxylmE
She slowly made her way to the open balcony. Red Lion watched her go, and as soon as she was out of sight, he turned to look at Walters. Walters knew what he was about to say, so he quickly had to say something.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK55RWwFjWk
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokWZZCMmcn

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1YbtQwbbS

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ8FNzv2Ar
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuP1uY2nTZ
“Sure,” said Hugo. He gave Walters a look before going over to the tray. Walters, on the other hand, felt relieved that Red Lion was in a good mood. But she had to give Miranda a heads-up.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaYCZbaFjG

Angel held on to Oliver’s hand as they walked out of the hotel’s doors into the beautiful garden outside, with well-manicured square lawns surrounded by short green hedges. The garden lights made the place look even more beautiful, as Marco had proclaimed. Angel couldn’t help but look around in awe. There were a few lawns up ahead with white garden benches to sit on. A few people walked around the garden. On the east side was an outdoor bar.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDCllyC4Ek

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH9WAFZ7ms
Angel had a brief look behind her and noticed the look Leo gave Carly. She couldn’t help but feel there was something wrong with this whole affair. She remembered that Eric mentioned that he and Leo had thought of staying behind. Was it because Leo thought of spending some time with Carly? Then a sudden thought came over her. Kim.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmhjt2wHoi

She turned to look behind her, and she got caught looking at Marco, who, for some reason, wasn't smiling at her. Was he also worried about her? No, that's silly, Angel thought to herself.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ow3OLIjxG
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRNxDmrR6i
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP6CD82R5K
Her eyes soon fell on the pair of lovebirds. She realized that the two were slowly following behind them in deep conversation. Angel couldn't tell what they were talking about, but if Kim was here for Leo, then it spelled trouble. Kim would without a doubt realize that Carly is Leo's new lover.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkOEwQMCDs

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwq0Bj2zeS
His eyes fell on Angel, who didn't look so happy with him. He started to wonder if maybe it was because he was hanging back with Carly. He thought staying far behind would give him and Carly the opportunity to run off without anyone noticing. He would've had to wait a little longer for that to happen.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZlpoQiN4x
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUij9CkEh20

Kim and Trina stood a few feet away from the exit that led to the garden. They watched as Leo and others walked down the straight stone path into the garden. Leo and Carly looked like they were in some conversation with the rest ahead of them.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoF7iDb4On

They slowly walked along the path. The men and Oliver ahead of them turned around the corner to the right, heading towards the fountain.

Carly swallowed as Angel turned to face her. There was a serious look on Angel’s face. Carly didn’t want to admit it, but the look made Angel look even more beautiful. Her dark brown eyes looked so intense that, as much as Carly wanted to look away, she still found herself looking into them. Carly cleared her throat before she spoke.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KfiyX4MH3

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKF1cHImkZ
Angel had to choose her words cleverly there. She thought it was best not to tell Carly about Kim and Trina. No doubt, she would tell Leo, which wouldn’t spell good for anyone right now. And if he were to lose his temper in front of Marco, the result would still remain the same.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoblVvVPDSE

“Now that’s mean.” Carly playfully hit Angel on the head and laughed out loud. “Don’t worry. There will be a time when the two of you will get along like old friends.”468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGba1gDlNJ9
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCVN1TWZKH

The sisters hurried along, and from afar, near the exit door of the hotel, Kim and Trina looked on at the two sisters. They started to make their way slowly down the stone path into the garden. With the cover of trees, they could still hide themselves from plain sight.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXom7JvKv9c
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx5NZzuQNs
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjstVDhxmLw
“I’m guessing Angel didn’t tell Carly about us,” said Kim as she stood beside a tree to hide herself. She noticed Carly laughing aloud.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQiuHVLgrg
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRKtd2ta2
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBEYhajWXP
“Maybe they were talking about the other man who is with them,” said Trina, who looked towards the fountain. “When I noticed him at their table, I couldn’t help but realize how handsome he is.”468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZtfq71aa6
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9tVH5UOFH
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnB3fVxgNZ
Kim shook her head. “You claim to be in love with Eric, but it’s plain to see that you’re always drooling for the next handsome guy you lay your eyes on.”468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jqD0pAGfH
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNwdb6vmSr
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs86Xom2odX

“Oh, I can assure you, Angel,” said Marco as he came over to her. “They were in a deep argument about it. I didn’t want to intervene since it felt more like a family affair.” Marco raised an eyebrow at Eric and Leo.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY3SbppL2E

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwAF9yHOwa

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jPW5OHKXJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDqYpb2BT7
His response surprised Carly. He sounded like he had known Angel all his life. She noticed the look in his eyes when he went back to look at her sister. She couldn't tell what she saw in them, but it made her suddenly want to change the subject.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiQEou6Hma

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtcViOAAjI
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGuuQvKFkp
The look in his eyes disappeared as he turned his head to answer her. "No," he said. "Or can I say yes? Many women fall head over heels in love with me, and they enjoy my company so much that I can't really point out if I have one."468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHsGNx3qMT
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT6tAB1gPS

She turned to look at Angel, who had somehow managed to get a coin from Leo. He dug into the pocket of his trousers and fetched out his wallet. He brought out a nickel and placed it in Angel’s outstretched hand. She gladly smiled at him.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2OTGI28Bg

Angel looked forcibly at Eric, warning him that he shouldn't have said that in the presence of a child. The others, who saw her expression, almost burst out laughing. Eric knew he was going to get an earful from Angel after this.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j3U98xrf7

Miranda felt like staying on the balcony a little longer. Walters had come to check up on her a few minutes ago to see if she was okay. He brought her a glass of champagne to cheer her up a little and asked her if she would come back inside. She declined, telling him that she would only come in when their host arrived.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz7H5NBsOm

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxqU1Egz4P
As she looked out of the balcony, below her was an open bar. It was evening, and it would only be obvious to find people occupying the tables on the cobblestones of the bar area. Some in large groups; others small. She wished she could go down there and get herself a drink, but not when she was only there for business.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJCzirAGNw
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzud8uyadI

After taking the glass away from her lips, she stared at the bar below, and her eyes suddenly fell upon a face she never expected to see. Her heart fluttered at the sight of his handsome face. Looking elegant in his suit was Leo McDonell in the flesh.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjb45LTz87
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJSmVWgGKN
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuXYNGfuX9
Miranda gasped, and her fingers around the glass almost grew so numb that she had to quickly tell herself to get it together. Leo McDonell was here. And he walked into the bar area like he owned the place. That's one thing she liked about him. He carried with him authority, and he didn’t shy away from showing it.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wGfIv5fKw
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ97PkpmVNG
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8JASTMqV9
Walking beside Leo was another good-looking man whom Miranda felt she had also seen before. Behind Leo was another handsome Asian man. And walking beside him were two women who looked extravagantly beautiful. One of them, who wore a red dress, held the hand of a little boy. She couldn't see the faces of the women clearly, as they had their backs facing her as they talked to the Asian man.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUXq2bEr0

Miranda turned to Leo, and after he talked to the man who was beside him, he turned around while the man he had been talking to walked to the bar counter. The woman in the red dress and the child went over to the other side of the bar, with the Asian leading the way. Leo remained behind with the woman in the aqua blue dress. Miranda still couldn't see her face.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e9Jjr3BdF
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXwdqhVVcE

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pGKWmW6uy
The man who went over to the bar called over to Leo. Leo turned to him and went back to address the woman before leaving her on her own. Miranda would've glued her eyes on Leo, but she wanted to see who this woman was.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApiR6Mt10o
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDICtIiq6Hr
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWflLlV2BY
The woman in the blue dress started to look around the bar, and it was then that Miranda saw the side of her face. There was no mistaking who it was under all that makeup. And she should've known from the very start by her body language that it's her.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qEL2WBm1K

The glass in Miranda's hand slowly started to grow a crack, but she somehow managed to stop herself from fully breaking it. She watched Carly with viciousness, as she looked elegant in her aqua blue dress. Miranda felt like jumping off the balcony to reach her quickly.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHe1PHDw3I

468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YSqMY5wqZ
Miranda put the glass down on the glass table on the balcony and took a deep breath. Her heart felt like it had been lit up by a fiery fire, and it was raging ever more quickly. There's something she has to do about it. She had been keeping this frustration in for a long time, and the woman down there just had to be the reason for it. It was best to let it out on her.468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Yo2X3IL3
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2zfdp3XJ6
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHySqATRr0
