Another Round

Meanwhile, at the other part of the city, in a modern and beautiful house, the residents were panicking and restless.
The older man, who was sitting on the biggest couch in the parlor, looked at the young lady beside him who was on the phone.


"Hasn't she answered her calls yet?" he asked. He seemed unusually calm and collected in this situation.


The young lady shook her head. "She isn't answering, father. Maybe she doesn't have her phone with her." She quickly added when she saw her father's face darken.


The man didn't say anything. He looked around the parlor, and then his gaze hardened when he saw someone walking down the stairs.
The older lady who was coming downstairs paused when she sensed the tense atmosphere in the parlor. She looked at the man and then at the young lady and asked, "What's going on?"


The young lady looked at the man and was about to speak, but she closed her mouth when the older man shook his head.
