OLIVIA
“Lupita, what are you doing here?” She crossed the room and walked over to me. “I came to talk to you.” I was truly happy; I felt like things were going back to how they used to be. “Before that, how did you get in here?” that was my dad. I didn’t know why he asked that, how else was she supposed to get in.
“The men let me in.” Lupita responded looking confused, I was as well. I didn’t know what my dad wanted to do. “Come on, we can talk in the salon.”
“Wait, before you go talking.” My dad again, he was on the phone with someone and in a few minutes the head security as we call him, but he was far from being the head of security, he was one of my dad’s men.
“How did this lady come in here.” My dad asked, the guy looked confused. “We let her in sir.” As they should have, they knew Luputa and had no reason to not let her in. “Who did you inform before letting her in?”
Okay, my dad was going too far now. “Dad…”
“Shut up, Olivia. You get hurt and get everyone hurt because you are too trusting.” I was taken back by his outburst, it was Lupita we were talking about, why was he being like that. He turned to the head of security.
“I asked you a question and I am not going to repeat myself.” the man swallowed hard, I glanced at Lupita, and she looked nervous. I scanned the room for Ethan and the kids, but they were long gone.
I appreciated that, I didn’t want them to see what my dad was doing. “No one sir, it’s just that we know her and what she is to the family.” My dad laughed as if the man had told the funniest joke in the world.
“I want you gone in the next hour and I want someone more capable replacing you.” I was taken back, why was he reacting that way as if the man let in a thief in the house. The man agreed and walked out.
My dad turned to Lupita, he looked angry, and I was curious to know why. He knew Lupita and if he was still angry about what she did before then he should give her a chance to apologise before dismissing her like that.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, his voice low and temperament something I had never experienced before. I had heard the guys talking about it, but I never got to experience it myself.
“I came to apologise and fix things with Olivia.” My dad smirked as if he were mocking her. I didn’t like it because it seemed as if he didn’t want me to fix things with Lupita.
I was already alone surrounded by them; I needed a woman to talk to as well. Why couldn’t he understand that?
“Why do you want to fix things with her now?” what kind of question was that? I threw a glare his way, but I ignored it as if he didn’t see it or me.
