The Real Deal (2)

"We still haven't checked your invitation, Mr. Rodriguez." 

The words seemed to have halted the duo's steps. Lillian looked up at Ethan with her worry filled eyes. Her grip around his elbow tightened as her eyes widened in response to the man's next words.

"May I?" 

"What did you just say?" Unlike Lillian, Ethan didn't let the man's words affect his stance. He wore the same stoic expressions on his face as he glanced back at him. 

"I asked-" He had only started with her reply when he was cut off mid-sentence by Ethan.

"I don't care what you asked." He scoffed as he threw daggers in his direction. "What I care about is how dare you?" He eyed the guard up and down with contempt. 

"I didn't mean to offend you, Sir. I-I was only doing my job." He tried to explain his point to Ethan who refused to listen to any of his explanations.
