Listen, look at me.” He smoothly held Maya's jaw and Maya looked directly into his eyes. “I will see to it that your mother is safe, but for now, please let me get you home safely.”He continued. “The trouble won't be much searching for one person, than it would be trying to save two at a time.”All the while Lucy was listening, and she was disgusted at the two, she was wishing she wasn't in the car in the first place.

Can't you see that we are in a meeting, I guess you do not have any regards for me, but what of your grandmother, can't you at least show some respect?” Huxley said.It was as if no one spoke. Gloria continued but as she was still speaking, Olivia gave out a murderous sigh and walked to her room, but before she walked out, she glared at Gloria. She uttered: “Gloria you are a shameless fool! And it is unclear to me why Grandmother hasn't done anything about your nonchalant behavior. I wonder what you have on her.

Maya exhaled, lazily, before speaking. “You don't have to.”“What?” Logan asked in a confused tone.Maya lifted her eyes as she said; “Don't worry I will turn myself in, after all it is all because of me that she is there.
