"Mom, where's Leo?" Charmaine asked as she saw Elise alone in the dining room. Lucy called them for breakfast but Luke was still asleep so she came down alone.
"He already left with Adele." Elise replied.
Charmaine was surprised but only a second. She didn't let on anything from her expression. She simply pulled a chair and sat on the table.
"You're not worried?" her mother in law asked.
"Worrying can't solve anything." she replied. "Besides, I have other things to worry about right now. I truthfully don't have the time for Leo's matters." Charmaine feigned an exhausted expression. Although thinking about it, it's not a lie that she's tired of Leo's business. She just wants it out of her mind. "I have company matters to settle abroad so I think I'll be gone for a few days. I was planning to tell Leo but since he already left, I have to trouble you instead."
