She Was Thinking Too Much

She knew it! This man was not ordinary and that was proved when he mentioned her daughter's name. Alarm bells went off in Angelica's head and she lowered her hands to her lap, fiddling with them nervously. Whatever Daniel wanted from her, Angelica had a feeling that it was not going to be favorable to Adele. 

She lifted her head to meet Daniel's gaze, but the intensity in those gray eyes made her uneasy. There was just something about him that unsettled her and if he aimed to scare her, it was definitely working. But Angelica pushed her fear away and went straight to the point. 

"What do you want from me?" Angelica asked him, knowing he had ulterior motives for inviting her over. There was no way a man like him would send his people to get her here if he didn't want something important from her. 

"Patience," Daniel said nonchalantly as if he had all the time in the world.
