' I hope she doesn't recognize me, ' He thought as he tried to read her expression But no, her face remained completely unreadable.
"It's okay, ma'am, I didn't expect anyone else to be here," he replied.
She nodded in response and spoke, " You are a student here , right? "
"Yes, ma'am,"He confirmed.
" Then you must know Esmeralda, right ? " She asked.
"Yes, ma'am, she's a classmate of mine, "He replied with a nod again.
" I'm her sister-in-law," Lola said.
" I'm looking for her and wondered if you would know where she is, " Lola asked .
