Vic and Angelica exchanged glances, silently asking each other the same question before they turned back to the staff member standing in front of them. The hallway felt colder now, the harsh lights above casting long shadows on the walls. The staff member's face was blank, his stiff posture making Angelica's heart beat faster.
"What do you mean?" Angelica asked, her voice calm, though she felt anything but.
"Sir Dominic wants to see you in his office right away. Please come with me," the staff member said firmly.
"Okay... but why?" Angelica's brow wrinkled in confusion, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Her mind raced. Ever since her father, Sir Dominic, had disowned her, he had acted like she didn't exist. He used to care for her, giving her attention and special treatment. Then, everything changed. He turned his back on her completely. To him, she was no longer his daughter.
So why now? Why did he want to see her after all this time?
