[Carter Mansion]
The Carters' living room was warm and softly lit with the glow of the lamps brushing gently across the cream-colored walls.
Gregory sat with his reading glasses perched low on his nose, flipping through the newspaper and Melissa was arranging fresh lilies in a vase, humming faintly.
"Where is Evelyn?" Gregory asked without taking his eyes off the file he was reading. "I haven't seen her all day."
"She is in her room," Melissa answered. "She needed an uninterrupted personal day."
"Personal day?" he sighed. "She needs to go back to work." When Melissa gave him a look, he added, "She has taken enough time off, I don't want her to fall behind."
"She works in her father's company," Melissa scoffed. "She is already way ahead of everyone."
Gregory just sighed but did not say anything and continued reading the document carefully, word by word.
He was reading the file which was sent over by Reid Enterprise, personally sent over by Benjamin Reid.
