CHAPTER 20 What is wrong with me?

  Everleigh's POV

  Father came home before weekends; fortunately, I don't have classes for this afternoon. Raven wasn't here; he excused himself and said he has something important to do. I didn't ask him and just let him go. I can't even bare his stern voice like he is mad for something I don't know. He's such a moody person.

  Anyway,

  I'm standing at the front door of Dad's office. I breathe in and out to relax myself. I'm just a bit nervous. Jackson is right. I should talk to him. The walls between us, one of us should break it. I'll be the one to dig up a whole.

  I hope so.

  I knock three times before entering. I bit my lower lip. I saw father typing on his laptop; knotted eyebrows. He would often pause and type again.

  "What is it? What do you want?" Dad asked. He stopped encoding and looked at me. He smiled without a single sign of happiness in his eyes.

  "I, uh, just wanted to ask... How's your work?"
