" Master Atticus is requesting for her presence at the dinning room ", She said before bowing then leaving.
" Atticus....", Layla murmured as she got up and left. After another awkward break fast, Atticus got up from his seat.
" I'll be heading out, You're free to go any where in the house but you aren't allowed to leave. If you need anything outside inform one of the maids ", he said as leo walked in.
" The car's ready! let's g..... ", leo trailed off as he noticed Layla sitting at the table , " Oh, hey ! ", he waved at her. She was surprised but waved back remembering he was the guy with Atticus in the car.
" I'm leo ", he said as shook her hands .
" I'm layla! ", she replied as she smiled back at him. ' Layla ', Atticus sounded the name in his mind.
" That's enough, let's get going ", he said as he walked towards the door.
" Ah, I'm coming ", leo then turned to Layla, " See you later ", then he quickly ran after Atticus. A smile crept on her face, she soon finished her meal and walked up to her room shutting the door behind her. She looked back at everything that happened. How she got here she didn't understand and wasn't sure if staying here would be good or bad. While deep in thought, an alarm rang on her brand new phone which Atticus had given to her when she got into the car yesterday. It had only his number saved on it.
=DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT IN AN HOUR =
She had set the alarm the night before, before dinner. She sighed, she hadn't been there in a long time. She then got up and began getting ready.

Atticus sat in a dark conference room with his eyes closed he remained like this till the door flew open. Leo walked in dragging a man behind him. He threw the man at Atticus's feet, the man tried to stand but leo stepped on his head pushing his face back to the ground.
" How dare you rise above master Atticus's feet you scum ", leo roared at the man beneath his feet.
Atticus stared at the scene for a moment, " Speak ", he finally broke the silence, the man stared at him blankly before he received a kick to the head from leo.
" Didn't you hear him, talk!! "
" I-I don't understand!! ", he tried to prove innocent, his face already bloody.
" Bastard is trying to play dumb ", leo said before raining kicks on the man causing him to scream in pain as he spat out a large amount of blood
" That's enough ", Atticus said causing Leo to retract his leg immediately. He turned his gaze towards the man, " Since you dont understand why you're here let me explain. One of my projects crashed. It was believed to have been because of my ' incompetence ' but soon I discovered we have a rat problem".
The man froze in fear. Atticus appeared calm but his voice alone was enough to break a man.
" M- master Atti... ", he was kicked in the face by Leo.
" Dont talk when you aren't meant to!! ", Leo said once more. Atticus raised his hands to stop Leo from going further.
" Who made you do it? ", Atticus asked.
The man remained silent. Atticus sighed and waved his hand to Leo, " Make him talk ".
" Yes sir ", Leo said excitedly as he grabbed on to the man's collar.
" Wait, please!!!, I-i'll talk, it was young master Edward!! ", he screamed frantically not wanting to end up in Leo's hands. Atticus remained silent for a while, " Take him away ".
" Yes sir ", Leo responded before dragging the man out the room.
" N-no, No!!!, please master Atticus!! ", he screamed and struggled, trying to break free from Leo's grip and he was soon dragged out.
Atticus stared intensely into space, " Edward... He has to pay ".
