Ryan and Angel sat across from her. They exchanged glances for a while and only then did she finally call the waiter over. "Let's order first."

The meal was not a pleasant affair. Seizing the opportunity to have a smoke, Morgan lured Ryan away, leaving Josie and Angel at the table.

Angel lowered her head even further. "I did break up with Ryan at that time. But when something happened to my family, he was the only one who stepped forward to help."
