Esmeralda's eyes widened as she moved back a little after she opened the door.
'Oh no...' thought Esmeralda.
All of the colour in her face faded as she began to stutter.
"What is it, Esmeralda, you look like you've seen a ghost?" someone inquired. "No way grand pa, I was just shocked," Esmeralda muttered, shaking her head.
"Please let me in," Carlos said, but Esmeralda stopped him. He raised an eyebrow and tilted his head.
"What are you concealing?" Carlos inquired, folding his arm.
Lola appeared behind Esmeralda as she bit her lip and looked down.
'Is she insane?' wondered Esmeralda.
Lola whispered into Esmeralda's ear, "no need to hide me from him, I'll take care of things from here."
Lola smiled as she looked at Carlos, saying, "welcome grandfather."
Carlos' dark orbs reflected an icy gaze on Lola. Lola closed the door as he entered.
