Chapter 61: Stranded

Can they have the million dollar necklace Ewan had given her as a birthday gift last year?

No! How could she make such an unfair trade?!

She shakingly dialed her father’s number again. Fortunately for her, he picked.

"Hello Dad..." She exhaled harshly in relief as she turned her back to the chief waiter and his subordinate.

"What is the problem, Fiona? Why have you been calling consistently?"

Fiona sighed at the irritation in her father’s voice. It informed her of how crazy he would get when he finally heard what happened.

But Fiona was banking on the fact that he would never leave her hanging dry in trouble, that he would never leave her stranded.

"Dad, I’m in a fix."

"You’re always in a fix, Fiona. What exactly is the problem this time around?"

Fiona inhaled deeply before narrating the story of the evening to her father. When she was done, the other side of the line was quiet.

Why? Did something happen?

"Dad?"

There was no response.

She turned to look at the waiters, and noticed that it was only the head waiter waiting, that he already looked impatient, and that the other waiter was already attending to the next table.


"So, Fiona, in the current state of things, you squandered thousands of dollars just to eat for one night?"

A pause.

"Don’t you have a conscience? Don’t you ever think about somebody other than yourself? Why are you so selfish?!"

The last statement was basically so loud that Fiona removed the phone from her ear, stared at it for a second, before returning it to her ear.

"So now, you want me to send you the money, since Ewan has blocked your cards?"

Dad..." She replied meekly, only because her father’s voice
