CHAPTER 93 – Meet the Parents
Just as Daniel said, they went to the Stevensons building the next day.
They haven’t spoken to each other the whole night and the whole morning.
If he needed a secretary, she will be his secretary but that’s it.
She doesn’t need to socialize with his family.
Or so she thought.
She was so infuriated by Daniel she has forgotten about Egghead.
“Is this meet the parents session?” Aaron immediately asked as soon as he saw her.
She knew her face turned pale based on the coldness she was feeling.
Ms. Margaret Bell aka Mrs. Stevenson aka Daniel’s biological mother was there.
An older man was also there, presumably Mr. Stevenson.
“Celine Yates, my secretary for today” Daniel introduced her ignoring Aaron’s remarks.
“Good morning” she nodded to everyone then took her seat.
She felt a couple of eyes were staring at her but she kept her head down.
