Titus didn’t answer that. Instead, he asked darkly, “Where’s Tina?”
“She’s in her room,” Julia answered.
Titus squinted for a moment, then he went upstairs.
His inexplicable anger was making Julia’s heart pound with fear. Did Tina do something to get on his nerves? Worried about her daughter, Julia quickly followed him upstairs.
Titus started banging on the door once he was outside Tina’s room.
The door was opened a moment later, revealing Tina behind it. She was in her pajamas, looking sleepy. “What is it, Dad?”
The fact that she was looking sleepy only served to fuel his anger. I was humiliated at an important meeting, while you’re just sleeping? The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. In the end, he couldn’t hold it back anymore, and he slapped Tina as hard as he could.
