S21 71. Bitter Reality

Melanie got up and walked quickly towards her daughter. The others immediately stepped aside, while Emily ran towards Philip. Barbara quickly protected her wound.

“Phil?” Melanie’s eyebrows pressed against her forehead. Her eyeballs shook as if checking her memory.

“That’s a great name. What about your business, Phil? What company do you run?”

Philip swallowed hard. “I work with the Harper family.” He didn’t want to fake his identity.
