Coleen flicked off the light and spun around to her daughter. "Hit the sack, honey."
After spending the evening with her daughter, she was as fresh as a daisy the next day.
Seeing her husband, she laughed and said, "You've got nothing on our daughter when it comes to cheering me up."
Mr. Kendrick, clueless about why his wife was on cloud nine, couldn't help but join in. "What did our little girl whisper in your ear?"
Coleen said, "She gave me a piece of her mind."
Molly didn't grill Saul about what had happened the night before. The next day, she asked her dad, "Dad, I have a bone to pick with you about my cousin Saul."
Before she could even finish, Mr. Kendrick cut her off, "I'm in the dark here, don't ask me."
Molly hopped over to Chad and called him sweetly.
"Don't bug me." Chad was not interested in her buttering him up and shoved her away, "You give me a headache just looking at you."
Molly had become the black sheep of the family, even her doting brother Chad was giving her the cold shoulder.
At noon, Chad received a work call and left without even grabbing a bite.
Soon after, Mr. Kendrick also got a tip-off call at home and he too left to handle it.
Seeing that the house was empty, Molly grumbled, "Why is everyone busy as a bee and I'm the only one twiddling my thumbs?"
Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Jack Ashford.
"Molly, are you free this afternoon? We're throwing a bash and we'd love for you to come."
Molly hesitated for a moment, and then gave him the old, "I have to hit the books this afternoon."
Jack laughed, "Come on, it's Saturday. Take a breather. It'll do wonders for your studying. Plus, the people coming today are future colleagues. Networking is just as important as your studies, especially when you take over the company."
Sensing Molly's hesitation, Jack joked, "I'm not gonna bite. I'll pick you up and drop you off. If you're still worried, I can give your mom a heads-up."
Molly thought it over and agreed, "That's not necessary, just text me the address and I'll head over later."
Hearing her agreement, Jack was over the moon. His voice was filled with glee, "Alright, I'll text you."
After Molly hung up, her phone buzzed with a new message.
After reading the message, she replied with a formal "Received" and then went silent.
Mia of the Cedillo family was gnawing on an apple while scrolling through the investigation results Cooper had sent over on her phone.
Mia asked, [Cooper, where did you dig up all this dirt?]
Cooper replied, [Don't worry about where I got it. Just tell me, are you treating my nephew right?]
Mia glanced at her baby bump and took another bite of her apple, [I'm taking good care of him.]
After chatting with Cooper for a while, she had to sign off because of the time difference.
