James shot Angelo a quick glance and simply said, "Just don't overdo it."
Hearing this, Angelo perked up as if he'd been given a free pass. "Alright, I'll just have a quick chat with that old witch..."
Before he could finish, James gave him another look. Angelo quickly corrected himself, "Mrs. Bea Burke I mean."
James looked away, and Angelo started to tidy up in front of the mirror. He took a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket, ensuring he looked his best, then adjusted the hair at his temples.
Angelo wiped the mischievous grin off his face and said seriously, "Viona, to the study."
"Yes, sir!"
Viona led Angelo out.
In the study, Angelo sat at the desk, trying out different poses before settling into a relaxed one. Outside, Viona announced, "Sir, Mrs. Bea Burke has arrived."
"Alright," Angelo said indifferently. "Let her in."
Viona opened the door, and Bea walked in wearing a white dress, her every movement exuding the grace of an old-world socialite. Angelo looked her up and down — not bad at all. For her age, she had remarkably few wrinkles.
It seemed his dad had good taste back in the day. But... she didn’t look anything like his mom. How had those ridiculous rumors started that his mom was a stand-in for this old lady? The media really needed a shake-up.
"Aren't you going to offer me a seat?" Bea's voice snapped Angelo back to reality.

Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with.
