"Dad, Jan, I have something to take care of. Thea, please look after them for me," said Nicolas.

Stefan wasn't happy and pressed a little. "Haven't all the company matters been settled? lan and Winnie came all the way from Bangolware. Is there really anything that can't wait until after dinner?" "It's personal. You all go ahead and eat without me, Nicolas said

Thea understood immediately. It was almost certainly related to Stephanie. She stepped in to ease the tension. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of them. You can handle your business without any concern." Stefan sighed, his expression complicated. He waved at Nicolas. "Since Thea says so, just go quickly and come back before dinner if you can."
