BEA already left after tending Camila’s injury and Camila, well she was nervous, nervous on how to face Clara.

She shut her eyes tightly when the door opened and let out an internal sigh, she stood and saw Clara followed by Mike.

“Auntie…” and she receives a slap from her making her looked down and she understand that, she disappoint her, “I’m sorry…” and then Clara pulled her from embrace, she even hear her sniff and then pulled away and she saw tears from those eyes that makes her more guilty.

“You make us worry you know that?” and she saw her nod.

“I’m sorry…”

“I understand that it’s your job but please don’t act like you’re a superhero even though Taylor is amused of what you’ve done, I am not because you risk your life.”

“I know…”

“You even went back, what if they waited there trying to clean their doings and you’re alone, don’t tell me you’ll be careful, you didn’t know,” and she saw her nod, “does it hurt?”

Camila shook her head, “I am fine, auntie, I’m sorry for disappointing you.”

“You didn't, I’m just worried that’s all, to your uncle yes, even though you’re the Head you still need back-up, you know that no matter how careful we are if it will happen, it will really happen, you understand?”

“Yes, auntie, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay now, you’re safe, thank you for saving our daughter.”

“I don’t want anyone in your family got hurt, I do have knowledge when it comes to this so I will surely put my life in line, that’s my duty, not just the Head of the Security but also your eldest, as what you've said.”

“Okay, but do make sure next time, be careful and cautious.”

“Yes, auntie.”
“I don’t want you to go home tonight, stay here, you still have Chris’ camping hammock, the plush pillow and the blanket.”

“I will and I forgot to tell you that tonight I must supposed to meet Lauren as Karla.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s for their upcoming exam, a group presentation, I am her partner, I found out that she doesn’t have a partner, some of her classmate doesn’t want to be her partner.”

“Because of her reputation, Normani told me,” Mike concluded.

“Yes, I personally saw it, how her classmate looked at her, her bad doing was just a peer pressure from Brad.”

“We already know that Brad is a bad influence, he even hit Chris when they’re still in high school.”

“He what?” and she saw Clara nod and she shake her head, “he will not hit anybody anymore.”

“Normani told us, not really report it but we heard them talking in amusement how you beat Brad.”

“He was just a bully, he said that every transferee had initiations, I guess I hurt his ego so he picked me, he even ordered Lauren to lock me up in the bathroom.”

“Lauren did that?”

“Peer pressure from Brad, auntie, she doesn’t have a choice, but these past few days I didn’t see her with Brad anymore, I don’t know.”

“If they broke up, that’ll be good.”

“Yes, I agree, so I guess we will expect Lauren to ask permission from us about Karla,” Mike said then look at to his wife then back to Camila.
