"I've told you already! It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I can't!" Angelo groaned. "You have no idea what my old man is like! If you can actually getout of here, I'd be seriously impressed! Hello? Hello? James, are you even listening?" Angelo glanced at his phone screen, confirming that James had hung up, and angrily tossed the phone onto the bed. He'd been stuck at hfor days, and all James seemed to care about was Sophie.

Luckily, Angelo was quick enough to block it and grinned, "Viona, lettell you a joke." "Not interested." "Do you know why I'm smiling at you?" "Because it's hard to hit a smiling face!" "1 Viona turned away, clearly unamused.
Still grinning, Angelo tried a different tactic, "Hey, Viona, we've been getting along so well. You wouldn't ratout to my dad if I wanted to step out for a bit, right?"

If acting out and you keep reveal your identity, it'll only bring harm to the Pollard family." Viona earnestly tried to persuade Angelo. But Angelo frowned, "Viona, we grew up together. Do you really wantto end up like Kiran?" Viona was taken aback.
"Kiran has always been better thanin everything since we were kids, and we've been the closest I've never seen youlas just a maid, but as a friend.
