“Good afternoon, boss," the janitor greeted as he opened the pedestrian entrance for him.
“Thank you," he responded without interest. Likewise, other staff members greeted and he gave the same cold response. Now, his daughters, Cindy and Camilla who were getting ready for school resumption, were through with their private tutorial and were unaware of the news, greeted simultaneously, “Welcome back, Dad.”
“How are you?” he managed to ask and walked into his room before they responded. Meanwhile, his daughters never expected much because, they were not male children, and he never missed the opportunity of reminding their mother that he would get another wife, who would give him male children. All the same, they walked to the kitchen to get their meal.
After a few minutes, Susan, who ran a fashion business, returned home and the children were surprised to see her at that time of the day.
