Chapter Four: The Image of her Mother

"Rhynna, did you get that interview done?" Sarah, Rhynna's best friend, asked her.

"Why?"

"We have to email it to the professor tonight before class tomorrow. It has to be sent before midnight."

"You're joking, right?" Rhynna asked. Sarah shook her head, her blonde hair moving along with her. "I gave it to my dad. He's at the hospital." Rhynna looked down and checked her watch. "It's six now and dad may not be home until late. Come on, let's go to the hospital."

"I can't. I have to be home by half past. Sorry."

"It's okay. I'm going to go. I'll see you in class tomorrow." Sarah gave Rhynna a quick hug and left. Rhynna picked the phone up and called down to the garage for a car and driver.

She hung up the phone and grabbed her jacket and ran down the stairs. Portia sat with Parisa in the main living room. "Rhynna, where are you going?"

"Dad has something at the hospital that I need to send to my teacher. I'm going to go get it. Bye!" She yelled as she shut the door.

The car was out front and she got in and told the driver where to go. Half and hour later, Rhynna was on the 6th floor where her father's office was located. She peeked in, but he wasn't there. The secretary told her he was in a meeting, but that she could go in and get what she needed.

Quietly, she opened the conference room door and a group of men and women turned around and stared at her. Rhynna searched the sea of faces for her father. Brant stood up and went to her.

"Do you need something, angel?"

"Yeah, remember that interview I gave you? Well, I need it."

"Ah, come here. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my second child, Rhynna." Brant said to the doctors.

In a mumble, the group said hello and Rhynna flashed them her irresistible smile.

"Lord Walsh, your daughter looks so much like your wife," one of the men said.

"Yes, she does." Brant smiled at Rhynna. He searched through his briefcase and found the paper. He handed it to her. "There you go."

"Thanks, dad," she said, kissing him on the cheek.

"You're welcome. Now, run along home. Your Aunts should be arriving from the airport soon."

"Yes, I know. Pleasure to meet all of you," Rhynna said politely as she quietly exited the room.
