22 #22~ Father dear (1/2)

Garren: look who finally decided to show herself.

Lori hardened her gaze at the man sitting behind the dark wooden desk. He had his hands clasped together, resting them on the desk. His face held a stern look. Those dark red eyes held curiosity and coldness while he scanned her over. She also took the time to scan him over too.

On his face was Small forms of wrinkles that could be seen forming on his face. But that did not stop his ooozing attractiveness.

Okay I have to admit, but damn! He's so freaking good looking for a middle aged man. He could probably be an underwear model if he wanted too!

Lori noticed a scare that rested just below his perfectly sculptured chin.

Garren: are you done with your starring now? If you don't mind I would like to get down to business and finish this meeting so I can move on to my next one. As you can see, I'm a busy man.

He grins at Lori and lifts up his legs and lays them on his desk. Lori gives the man a glare. She swiftly sits in the opposite chair across from him and comfortably sits down. She also grins and then crosses her legs.

Lori: very well Father. Then I'll get straight to the point. I want to get my testing done again at the World tree. I request that you will allow me to go.

Garren hardens his face and glares at her.

Garren: how dare you! What makes you think that I will pay the cost fee?! Why would I waste any gold coins on useless trash like you?! A disgrace in the family dare to ask for a favor when I already allowed you to stay in the clan and not just kick you out like any sane person would do! You should be thankful! You even have your own sizeable manor to live out your useless life! I even put food on your table.

Wtf? Flora, you never told me there was a cost fee for a second chance in testing!

[System]: oops! I totally forgot! Yes, second chances cost money!

Lori clenched her fist, she wanted to punch Flora right now. When Garren finally quieted down that's when she slowly spoke.

Lori: thankful?.....I should be thankful?! Me? Who has suffered through my miserable life. Look at me!

Lori stands up and points to her face.

Lori: does it look like I'm doing okay? I'm starving! I've been suffering for years and my own father does not even care! You even call me trash...

Lori hardens her face and looks at Garren straight in his eyes.

Lori: forget it, none of that matters anymore. I just came here for a bargain. You take me to get retested. If I don't have an attribute then you are more than welcome to toss me out. But if I do actually have an element, then I want to be respected and live a better life in this clan. Deal? Father dearest?

Lori kept a straight serious face. Both of them stared at each other. Garren finally sighed and shook his head.
