Chapter 6: Friend

Nicholas tried all he could to make me sit in one of the swivel chairs facing him but I refused, I told him I was okay standing. "Are you a soldier or something?" he sarcastically asked.

"No sir" I gulped fidgeting my fingers.

"Okay, since you don't wanna sit I think I should stand up too" he said, pulling up to his feet.

"Huh?" I wrinkled my brows, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, we are even now" he adjusted his necktie. "So," he cleared his throat, "where are you from? You look like someone I knew"

"I grew up here, Vincity, but my mom came from Icetown" I said amicably.

"And your dad? Where is he from?" he asked. I'd wanted telling him the little I knew about my inhuman dad but decided to just keep quiet instead. "Is everything okay, Stella?" he asked, confused.

"Yes, nothing sir" I gulped.

"Okay, so tell me...where did your dad came from?" he rephrased.

"I... I am sorry sir but can we not talk about that please? At least not yet"
