Tired of Explaining

Aviana only switched her phone back on when she walked far enough from the Livares family house. Just as she predicted, her phone went off right away and she answered without even looking at the caller ID. She already had a guess anyway.

"Miss Valos, where are you?"

She heard the familiar voice before she even managed to say anything. And when she was about to speak up, her father's voice echoed in her ear.

"She picks up? Give me the phone!"

Narrowing her eyes, Aviana waited as the right-hand man of her father handed the phone to her father back in her family mansion. Then she braced herself.

"You know that dinner tonight is important! How can you leave and stayed out of reach for hours?! You even had your phone off!"

"Dad -"

"Come home right away. We will talk once you get home," the father demanded; authoritative as usual but he changed his mind right away. "No. Tell me where you are and stay there. I will send someone to get you."
