Phone buzzing in her hand, Ele had to ignore it as she backed away from her mother, Vivienne. The older woman looked confused, then angry, but her face settled on hurt finally. Joey's face stayed angry, his eyes roving up and down Ele's body in her white blouse and pencil skirt.
"I will call the police! You need to leave, I do not want to speak to you!"
Ele said loudly, making certain she caught the attention of the security guard. The,big man started walking over, and Vivienne had to start backing away.
"Baby! Please, we need to talk!"
Shaking her head, Ele shakily pointed to the door, soundlessly demanding her abusers leave.
