Mark felt weird after the sudden call from his father so he decided to check on Maria himself.
" Hey Crystal! Where's Maria? " He spoke into the phone while getting into his car.
" She left almost an hour ago or so. Have some work to do, she said. I don't know anything else. " Crystal replied shoving the spoonfull of cheesecake down her mouth.
" Alright. If she calls you tell me, I need to know if she is alright. "
" Why? Did something happen? " Crystal furrowed her eyebrows.
" I hope not. Dad called me to ask about her. He seemed anxious for some reason. "
" Okay. I will tell you if she calls me. "
" Right. Bye Baby. "
" Bye bye. "
Mark took a turn to get to his home as early as possible.

Meanwhile Crystal shut her phone and began eating her cheesecake again when a maid knocked on her door.
" Yes? "
" Your mother is here to meet you. "
