" Peter, what just happened?" Melissa asked immediately she noticed Peter stopped the car. He reversed and packed by the side of the road.

She knew that the very short conversation he had just had with his father didn't turn out well.

" What's going on Peter, answer me? What did he say happened?" She asked again, the tension palpable in the air that instant as she noticed her husband's formerly happy demeanor contort into a frown.

" I don't know Melissa, I don't know!" He said, raising his voice. " I don't even understand why my dad is mad"

" He told me to find a solution to the problem I caused"

" Problem?" Melissa asked shocked " What problem? We've just met the personal assistant to the chairman himself. This man also holds a great position in Imperial Holdings, how could there be a problem?

"And, we've got proofs too. Didn't you tell him?" Melissa asked.

Where's our mother and our father?" She asked, walking closer to meet him." I need to see them. And I mean, right now!"" Really? And to tell them what?" Modrich scoffed.
