"So, the gala night was interesting." Phillip says, not looking up from his papers.

He's been over at Brennan Industries working with Judy on a marketing push since the gala evening.

"Judy was her usual underhanded self."

"No surprise to me at all."

"No. Me neither. Jayden is right to cut her out of his life."

"What do you think of Gabriel, with Cass?"

"Look, I think we are all a little concerned but Cass is no slouch. She stood up for you when Judy mentioned you. Gabriel basically told Judy mind her own business too."

"They seem fine, but their culture is different I guess."

"Do you know them very well?"

I get the feeling they're not really interested in sticking around in the States. They miss home. Mia, well she is a free spirit. I don't think she has any focus in life other than fun."
