"Leyla, I'm not here to take her away. After we have breakfast, I'll leave with my daughter, okay?" Bryan patiently tried to negotiate with her.

"See the guest out. Eileen can takeback to my room." "I think Eileen should have a word with her cousin. It's not right forto escort him out," Gianna protested.
