Chapter 56

After the close of work, instead of going home, Michael decided to go visit Derek's parents to check on them and make sure everything was still going according to plan.

He arrived at the Stone family mansion and was, as usual, greeted warmly by Derek's parents who were in the living room.

Did

you come directly from the company!" Derek's mom asked when she saw the files he was holding

"Yes, aunt. I came to see how you are feeling now," Michael said with a concerned frown, his voice dripping with sincerity.

"You work too hard, Michael. This is more than two hours after closing hour," she said and Michael waved it off.

"It's nothing. Aunt. I had some work left to do so I had to stay back. How are you both doing?" Michael asked looking from his aunt to her husband.

"We're fine, dear. It's good to see that you're doing a good job at helping Derek out at the company. I'm glad," Mr Stone said and his wife nodded.

"I got these vitamins for you. You've been stressed a lot. I was told it is good for people your age," Michael said, and his aunt smiled as she took it from him

"Thank you, dear. You've always been such a good nephew, Michael. I hope you're going to have dinner with us before you leave?" she asked and Michael smiled.

"Only if you prepared it," he joked and his aunt laughed.

"I will
