"Dad, can you please sit down and hold on for a few more minutes?" Jessica pleaded with her father while rechecking the time on her wristwatch.
It was already a few minutes before 4:00 PM and Jessica was a bit apprehensive due to her father's restless state. She was tempted to tell Greg that Alex had called for the meeting. However, she had no intention of betraying Alex's trust.
"How can you tell me to calm down when you girls have refused to talk to me, huh?" Greg queried angrily. "I'm your father but you all are treating me as a stranger. Have I done anything wrong to warrant this cold treatment from my daughters? Is there something you all are hiding from me?"
Greg turned his suspicious and piqued gaze to his third child.
