Moving further away from the house. I pick up Carmella’s call while facing the entrance, just in case my mother shows up or something

“Babe.” I cautiously look around, the bodyguards in position standing at a certain distance away from me.

“Hey, babe!” Carmella says from the other end of the line and she sounds so enthusiastic that I rub my temples while shaking my head.

“What’s up?” Though I pretend not to know. I know exactly why she’s calling,

What are you doing here all alone when your father’s already gone? She doesn’t seem pleased as she places both hands the sades of her waist and shakes her head at me “Were you calling someone from work?”

Right now, lying to her is better than telling her the truth. “Yes, was,”

She stands beside me and wraps her hand around my arm.
