The next day Theodore woke up pretty early. He had been learning about the company and had progress a lot faster than his father expected.

Today he would be introduced as Charles heir, well unlike his birthday party where he was ditched he was pretty sure this time he would be the one to take Charles place.

But he was a bit nervous, wouldn't people look at him like an illegitimate son? Wouldn't they say he wasn't fit to be the public eye everyone was expecting to see. Or he isn't fit to represent the company?

    Leo stood before Theodore in the study, his usual stoic demeanor slightly softened. "Sir, I’d like to request a day off." he said, his voice calm but carrying a note of urgency.Theodore arched a brow, intrigued. Leo rarely asked for time off unless it was absolutely necessary. "A day off? That’s not like you, Leo. What’s the occasion?" Theodore asked casually. Leo hesitated, then replied. "I want to visit my family. It’s been a while, and I need to check in on them." Theodore studied him for a moment. Something about Leo’s tone felt off, but Theodore decided not to push. "Alright, you’ve earned it. Take the day.""Thank you, sir." Leo said, bowing slightly before turning to leave.As soon as Leo exited, Theodore leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
