A NEW FAMILY 12

"I thought he was kidnapped?"

Now, the angry Leticia could not imagine that the General Manager was kidnapped, otherwise her husband would have informed her. Besides, if he was kidnapped, her husband would have been distraught. Then, she looked at Naomi, who seemed confused and demanded.

"Kidnapped? Who said he was kidnapped?"

Naomi only looked on, and she swallowed hard, then Leticia continued.

"Was that what they told you? Do you joke with these men who can do anything to defend their friend? Kidnapped indeed."

After processing Naomi's lecture, she decided to put the controversial issue of the kidnap behind her and asked pleadingly as she sobbed.

"If Gabriel is at home, will you assist me in pleading with him?"

"Plead with him? What did you do wrong?"

That was another naughty question that she must answer. At this point, she had realized her mistake so, she responded.

"I hurt him."
