***ALEX'S POV***
I don't know why but looking at Richmond made me nervous right now. Maybe it was because he was a rich and powerful man that owned a multibillion dollar corporation. Maybe it was because I wasn't his real daughter and I was feeling nervous. Maybe it was something to do with the grin on his face, like he had just won a major battle and it was time for him to spread the news. I didn't know the exact cause of my unease, but there was something.
"Come on now, Winter, let us head to the other room. We can start our lunch. You're ready to eat again, aren't you?" I had eaten a little at McDoland's with Jake, but I made sure to leave plenty of room. Not to mention, I was so desperate for food that reminded me of home that I just couldn't pass up this chance.
"Of course, I made sure that I was hungry for lunch." He seemed pleased by my response.
