"I can't believe it," Jeanine says breathlessly.
"How is this possible?" Eric almost sounds mad.
"Can someone explain to me what the hell is going?!" I say. I'm furious.
"Hey! Language please," Caleb says out of the corner.
I almost forgot he was there. He doesn't even bother to look up from the tablet in his hand. Does he not find this interesting? Or is he simply not allowed to interfere with Jeanine's work? Whatever it is, I don't know.
Jeanine stares at me in shock, amazed really. "You're Evelyn Johnson's daughter?" she says, slowly approaching me.
"Yes," I say shortly.
"She used to be my, uh, friend I'd say," She tries to smile, but fails miserably.
"You're Elizabeth Eaton," she finally says.
"I'm who?" I say confused. Nobody bothers to answer me. "Why Eaton? Where does that come from if my mother is Johnson? Does that come from- oh, my father," I say, realizing something.
"But my mother hates Marcus, she wants nothing to do with him, why?"I say, wanting to know more.
"Here's the thing, we don't know. We all have a theory but it has never been confirmed," Jeanine says looking at Eric.
"I can't believe there's another Eaton!" Eric says. He's irritated.
"What are you so angry about?" I say.
"Eric has his ties with the Eaton family, nothing to worry about," Jeanine says nicely.
"We'll leave you here to think for a while, Caleb will bring you food shortly, you must be hungry," Jeanine says while she and Eric leave the room.
"Yeah..." I say but I drift off to my own thoughts.
Caleb leaves the room and comes back a few minutes later with a plate of food.
"Thank you," I say, to be honest, he's the only one I'm really interested in here. Eric is too full of himself, and Jeanine just represents an old Queen-Bee from high school.
I can't believe my name is Elizabeth Eaton. I mean I knew the Elizabeth part but not the Eaton part, my mother always spoke about Marcus like he was the devil himself. I wonder what that theory is that Jeanine supposedly has. Then something hits me. I'm alone in Jeanine's office, most likely no cameras here since it's HER office and if I peak close enough, she left her computer unlocked. Almost as if she wanted me to take a look. I don't care if she wanted me to take a look or not because I will.
I walk eagerly to the computer, wanting to know more about myself. I sit down in her chair and look around the room in case anyone's watching me. Suddenly I remember Eric's words 'Does that mean she's his sister?' and 'I can see the resemblance now' so, obviously the first thing I do is go to the database and search up the name Eaton to see everyone who shares the same name as I do. The results were not a lot which is a good thing, because it makes it easier for me to find my supposed brother.
One of the results was a boy named Eaton Hill, and another one named Eaton Mase but I knew none of them were my brothers because my brother needs his last name to be Eaton, not as a first name. I scroll more down and I see someone named Tobias Eaton. Hm. Interesting.
I click on Tobias Eaton and this is what comes up:
