Mateo rushed into the living room, nearly bumping into Leah.
"Pardon monsieur, are you alright?" she asked looking worried. She was holding a stack of fresh towels.
Leah is the maid who takes care of the apartment. She just finished high school and is saving up for college.
"Yes am fine. Catalina had visitors?"
"Oui. Two men come on business. They ask me not to disturb them," she replied innocently.
"Business huh."
"You look stressed, Monsieur. Can I get you something? Maybe juice, tea, or café?"
"Am fine Leah. You can go."
The girl strolled away, humming.
Mateo walked over to the wine cabinet in the corner of the living room and poured himself a glass of dark red wine.
He drank slowly, waiting for the "business" to finish.
Thirty minutes later, the bedroom door opened.
Catalina walked out wearing a white robe. She sat on the sofa opposite him.
"Don't barge into my room like that Mateo," she said. "That's not cool."
