At the same time, Lucas said reproachfully: "You are the one who brought her on yourself, and you must bear what your hands have done."
Mark said sharply: "She's the idiot. I told her from the beginning that I am her friend and nothing more, and all our words will be within the limits of friendship. But she insists that she has feelings more than friendship for me."
Lucas said while pointing at him: "If you hadn't spoken to her from the beginning and asked for her friendship, all of this wouldn't have happened and now you bear the consequences of your action."
Angel suddenly said, making everyone turn to her: "What time is it?"
Lucas looked at his watch and said: "Half past six, Why?"
Angel said quickly: "I want to go home. My English teacher will come in half an hour."
Mark said as he got up from his seat: "Okay, we will come back. Come on, Olivia."
Lucas said in astonishment: "Do you know Angel, Mark?"
Mark said with a smile: "Yes, she is Olivia's friend, she'll spending some time at our house until her father returns from his work trip."
Lucas turned to Olivia and said, furrowing his eyebrows: "You didn't tell me that, Olivia."
Olivia said in uneasily as she got up from her seat and picked up her bag: "I forgot."
Lucas stopped her and said suspiciously: "I feel as if there is something that you are hiding from me."
Olivia evaded his gaze and hurried behind Angel's seat and said: "It's nothing."
She began to push the seat quietly. while Lucas said as he watched them walking away: "No, it's something, Olivia... and it's related to that girl called Angel."
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
It was quiet all over the house before the door of the house opened and Olivia's voice came out as she said sharply: "Please, just be quiet and spare us from hearing your voice."
Mark said with a smile: "Why are you jealous of my voice? What, is it my fault that it's more beautiful than your voice?"
Olivia said angrily: "Just shut up."
As for Angel, she remained silent and didn't try to comment on their statement. Suddenly, Charlotte's voice came to interrupt Mark and Olivia's quarrels as she said: "Miss Angel, where have you been all this time?"
Angel raised her head to Charlotte and said quietly: "I went to the club."
Mrs. Charlotte said disapprovingly: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Angel turned her face away and did not answer her, so Charlotte said quietly: "Miss, you know that I am responsible for you. If anything happens to you, I will be the first to blame."
Angel said as she turned to her: "I am eighteen years old not eight so I can take care of myself well."
Charlotte placed her palm on Angel's shoulder and said: "I understand that very well but my work requires me to be by your side all the time.I need to live up to the trust given to me by Mr. Henry."
Angel was about to say something if not been for the sound of the home phone ringing getting louder. so Mark turned to him and raised his headset, saying: "Hello, who's speaking?"
Mark was silent for a few moments, then said with a smile: "Yes, just a moment."
He turned to where Angel was and said with a smile: "Angel i have good news for you. Your father is on the phone."
Angel shouted with joy: "Dad!!"
Then she quickly moved her seat until she reached Mark and said eagerly and eagerly: "Give me the phone. I want to talk to him."
Mark said as he looked at her: "what would you give me In exchange?"
She said please: "Please, I want to talk to him."
Mark said with a smile as he handed her the receiver: "If your fiancé had been the caller, you wouldn't have been this eager to talk to him."
Angel did not listen to a single word of what Mark said, but rather grabbed the phone and said with great eagerness: "Dad, I miss you so much."
Henry said tenderly: "Me too, angel. Tell me, angel, how are you?"
Angel asked, "I'm fine, dad. How are you? How long have you arrived? When will you return?"
Henry laughed and said: "Take it easy, Angel. I am fine and I am talking to you now from the airport since I just arrived there and I will return in a week if things go as they should."
Angel said please: "dad, come back quickly, please."
Her father asked, furrowing his eyebrows: "How is it like living with your uncle and his children?"
Angel looked at Mark and Olivia and then said: It's fine. don't worry yourself."
Her father said with interest: "Do they treat you well? Did they try to harass you?"
"Everyone treats me well, dad. Don't worry Just come back safely I need your presence by my side a lot."
Her father said, sighing with relief: "Thank God. You've eased my mind, princess. If someone harasses you or you feel uncomfortable in any way living with them, tell me so I can take action."
He added: "Now, baby girl, I need to go. see you later and take good care of yourself. I will return with the bird that you requested. Goodbye, my little angel."
Angel said with tears in her eyes: "Goodbye, dad."
She said and hung up the phone, sighing sadly.
Mark said while shaking his head while sitting on one of the seats: "If I had known that this phone call would make you cry again, I wouldn't have given you the phone in the first place."
Olivia said disapprovingly: "Mark, what are you saying?"
She added as she approached Angel and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, he's joking."
"I know," Angel said in a choked voice."
Turning away from them, she added: "Excuse me."
Olivia said to Mark as she saw her walking away from them: "Couldn't you keep your jokes for a little while?"
Mark said, shrugging his shoulders: "I wanted to make her forget her sadness for a little bit."
Olivia reproached: "Angel is not like me. I can accept your jokes and sarcasm, but she may not. You know her circumstances."
Mark nodded and then said: "Yeah, I know her circumstances more than anyone else."
Then he got up from his seat and said: "I'm going to my room."
Olivia smiled and said: "Who asked you where your destination is now?
Mark looked at her a while before turning away from her and climbing the stairs. As for Olivia, she turned to the door of Angel's room and headed towards it. But she was stopped by the sound of her mobile phone ringing. She picked it up from her bag and smiled broadly as she saw Lucas's number light up and answered him with joking tone: "Hey Lucas, Couldn't you be patient, we've just parted?"
Lucas said with a smile: "You must be dreaming. I just called to find out some things from you."
Olivia was surprised by his words and said with confusion: "What are these things that you would like to know?."
Lucas as he firmly said his words: "About that girl called Angel."
Olivia said with a stammer: "My friend, what's wrong with her?"
Lucas said with suspicion: "You said that you met her at the club and although I had never seen her at the club, I simply thought I had not noticed her presence there before now but when I saw that she was a disabled girl, my doubts about her increased because someone like her can't join the club."
Olivia said in confusion: "Lucas, what happened to you? Do you work as an investigator or something? This doesn't require all of this. She came to the club once or twice before just for a visit, and I got to know her during that time."
Lucas said suspiciously: "I don't know, why do I feel that you're not telling the truth?"
Olivia snorted and said while trying to end the matter: "Yes, I am, Listen to me. Call me in a little while I have another call, Goodbye."
She said it without listening to his answer.
On the other end, Lucas said, with a smile at the corner of his lips: "You still don't know how to lie to me, Olivia. I can detect your lie from the confusion and stuttering of your voice and from how quick you ended the call. but I will know everything soon."
