She could not be in a more awkward situation.
"Young Madam! Young Master! You're home." Wilma's timely presence in serving fruits liberated Bella from the embarrassing tension.
"What brings you here at this hour, Ash?" Bella approached and asked.
Turning somber, Asher took a deep breath. "Dad had another stroke, and this is the worst one ever." "What?" The couple exclaimed in unison.
"Don't panic, Ms. Bella. Chairman Thompson has survived the critical window. Otherwise, Mr. Asher and I wone straight to you " instead of waiting for you here.
