"Finally, you're come here, Elle!" Briana exclaimed as she approached her daughter as soon as she saw Ellena who had just arrived in front of the house.
"Yes, Ma'am. Sorry, I'm late. You must be very worried," said Ellena, shaking her mother's hand.
"Are you all right, Elle? Where have you been all day?" Briana asked interrogatingly.
This immediately took Ellena by surprise. Why did her mother suddenly ask such a question, as if she already knew something about him?
Luckily, after getting out of the car, she had time to tidy up her clothes and hair, which were a mess because of the two men. At least Briana wouldn't suspect her because of her unkempt appearance.
"I'm working late, Ma'am," answered Ellena, not daring to look at her mother.
"You're lying, Elle!" Briana said, suddenly making Ellena even more surprised. How did Briana know if Ellena was lying?
