Chapter 24 A Mother's Concern

• The surrounding air in the office was tense because of Darryl's foul mood. Darryl remained stoic as he attended to the paperwork assigned to him. Even Vanessa's presence remained unnoticed by him.
• Vanessa was thankful that Darryl was not his usual self. However, she knew something was wrong with him since he met the woman in the elevator. He also rejected his coffee, which was a bad omen just as Phoebe had said it.
• She shakes off Darryl's thoughts out of her mind as she prepares to retire for the day. She straightened her skirt before heading to Darryl's office next door.
