Zayla went to see her father at her mother's apartment since she could not stand Daniel. She left with the driver, who had to return to the penthouse since Zayla had said that she was not going back to the penthouse that night.
Luckily, her mother was sleeping when she reached there, so her father spoke comfortably in the small apartment.
Her mother had a way of making her feel guilty and at this juncture, she did not want that. Her father was surprised to see her since it was already late, and she had not called to pre-inform him that she was coming over.
"Zayla, I wanted to call you, but I thought you'd be sleeping. So, what are you doing here?"
Her father looked too happy to a fault, in contrast to the movie he was watching on TV. The last time they spoke on the phone, his mood was terrible, and she wanted to avoid him, but it seemed like some magic had happened.
