Chapter 120

Damon was reviewing documents in his office at Prospectus Technology when his personal phone suddenly rang.

He answered, and Marie’s booming voice came through. “Damon, come home for dinner tonight.” Damon glanced at the pile of unfinished documents and immediately refused. “I’m busy.”

“No matter what, you must make time tonight. Otherwise, I’ll go to your office and drag you home myself,” Marie warned.

Marie’s commanding tone left Damon feeling helpless.

“There’s too much to do today. I really can’t make it,” he said.

“No excuses. You must come back for dinner. Even with your busy schedule, you can always spare time for a meal,” Marie insisted.
