"Yes, Uncle."
"Riverdale University produces talented people." Mr. Atkinson sighed, wiping his hands with a wet towel, and continued, "Where did you live when you interned at Atkinson Group?"
"Our school has dorms."
Mr. Atkinson nodded and asked, "With all the rumors going around, are you still willing to live in Atkinson Manor?"

Eleanor was anxious and said, "Dad..."
Before Eleanor could finish her sentence, Mr. Atkinson waved his hand to stop her and said, "She's a senior in college and has her own thoughts. Maybe, when you invited her to stay at Atkinson Manor, she didn't want to refuse and even felt awkward."
