As Michael waited for Evelyn outside the bakery, he decided to give Sandra a call to while away the time since he was bored.

He knew she would be happy when he told her about Derek's arrangement with Evelyn. He smiled as he dialed her line and it didn't take long for

"Yeah. Are you still on her tail?"

"Yes. I think this might take a while, Michael said, not looking forward to waiting on Evelyn for that long.

"Don't bother with that anymore. You can go home. I'm going to reach out to Rayna and find out what's up with Evelyn. And now that I know Evelyn will be at Stone Corp, I think it's best I pay her a visit at the office. If she won't come to me, I should go to her," Sandra said thoughtfully.

"Yeah. You should do that. I have to go now. My mom is calling," he said, before hanging up Sandra's call immediately to receive his mother's
