After the knock on the door, George opened the door with a stiff expression on his face.
"Hey Dad," Alice greeted him with a smile on her face. "I brought your coffee."
Alice handed the mug to George and stood by the door to get his reaction. However, upon receiving no words from him, she chuckled nervously and asked,
"Were you busy?"
"No, I was not. Why would I be busy at this hour?" he replied.
George moved the bug from his right hand to the left and asked, "And why have you… applied makeup? Are you going somewhere?"
"Uhm… yes…" she nodded in response.
George raised his brow and asked, "Don't tell me you are hanging out with Rudy again. You have been staying out a lot as of lately. Is it because I have stopped monitoring you?"
"No, no." Alice rocked her head, seemingly to convince George of her denial.
"Then where are you going?" George raised the other brow. "You don't have friends other than Rudy, do you?"
"I am going with Rudy, but we are not going anywhere."
