Kalel's hands tightened into fists. This is why he took Drea's place. His father has been threatening him, it's clear from their short interaction that he is abusive.
He looked at A-Xuan's reluctant eyes on the screen. Does he not want to involve him because he doesn't want to lie or because he just doesn't want anything to do with him?
No matter what it is he's not letting him go. He closed his computer and looked up when he heard a knock.
"Come in."
A-Xuan entered and said:
"I'm sorry to bother you, I just wanted to introduce you to my father."
Kalel smiled at him and waved them to sit.
"Kalel this is Lex, my father."
Lex reached out his hand but pulled it back when he saw that Kalel had no intention to shake it. He coughed and said:
"Thank you so much for letting my son stay here."
Kalel looked at A-Xuan smiling and said:
"It's my pleasure I like spending time with him."
