"Kari, make sure you clock out early when Ronald gets back. We'll have a family dinner, just the three of us.

Willa was still talking about Ronald.

Kari nodded, "Sure, got it."

Ronald returned a week later. Fresh off the plane, he received a call from Kari.

"Bro, Mom made stew tonight. You coming over?"

Dressed in a sleek black trench coat, despite looking weary from travel, Ronald's innate aura of authority was unmistakable.

His assistant, noticing the softening of his expression, knew immediately who was on the line.

But his family had a dinner party planned for the evening.

"Sure."

Ronald had no intention of attending the dinner party. Spending time with Kari seemed far more appealing than wasting hours with the Malones. "I just landed, on my way now."

The assistant thought to caution him but was silenced by a stern look from Ronald.

Ronald gestured for the driver to start the car.

"Great, I'll pick up some of your favorite fruits," Kari said, relieved he was coming.

After hanging up, Kari shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, Bro's landed. I'm off to get some fruit, take care."

"Alright, dear."
