NEW ORDERS

Their laughter could be heard as they walked into the house.

"Welcome home, sir, welcome home, Madam," the servants greeted as they walked past them.

"So, did you enjoy your day?" He asked as they walked over to the living room.

"Yes, so much" she said while swinging the shopping bags she was holding.

He laughed and sat on the sofa.

"Come on, I need a sumptuous dinner" he said as he placed his back on the chair tiredly.

"Oh, you don't want me to be late for home, father," she said with a smile.

"Really? You think I will let you go home tonight?" He asked and her eyes shone.

"Father, I didn’t tell Adrian I was going out," she reminded.

"And you were going out to where? My place" he said as he stood up.

"Hmm, don't you think he might get angry?" She asked anxiously.

"Why would he? Does he care about you being around the house?" He asked as he walked over to the stairs.

She kept silent with her gaze on the floor.

"Hey..are you sad?" He asked as he turned over to look at her.
