Trouble

Kai waited for his mum to speak up her concerns. Right now, she did not look so good. Her lids seemed heavy and dull. Only now did it dawn on him, that his mum did not have even the slightest bit of makeup on her face. Even her aura emitted a dull glow that he did not like.

''I just asked a question and I demand that you answer me, right now.''

''He is waiting for you in his Study, I'm afraid.'' said Olivia. Then, she pulled forward and stole a kiss on his left cheek before he could protest about it.

''Whatever is the outcome of your meet with him. Please know that I did my best to change his mind.''

''Mum, what are you?''

''I'm sorry.. Forgive me for not being more to you as I've been to Larry.''
