"Your father is clearly furious with you."
"Why? What exactly did I do to trigger his anger?"
"Because you keep arguing against my instructions when you already have the option to return home immediately. Continuing to challenge him will only escalate the situation."
A frustrated sigh escaped Phoebe as she shifted slightly against the pillows, her fingers tightening around the phone. She understood that her father was angry, but that only made his refusal to explain the reason behind his sudden demand even more frustrating.
"I know. But I still don't understand why Daddy suddenly insists that I return tonight. What could possibly be so urgent that he cannot wait until tomorrow?"
"Come back to the estate immediately. He wants to speak with you about something important."
"About what exactly? Can't I postpone the conversation until tomorrow morning? I already promised that I would return tomorrow."
