He opened it and there's a necklace with a maple leaf pendant. "You shouldn't have. I have a lot of necklaces, Marc." "Shh. Come on, let me put it on."

"He has been waiting for you, Sir," she added.I just walked into Dad's office with a smirk on my face and nodded. When I knocked, I was told to be patient. Come in,' I overheard him say."Dear Father...," says the speaker.If you could just sit down, Marc, that would be great."Can you tell me what you'd like to talk about, father?"My son, I'm stepping down as CEO of the company, and I want you to take over as CEO."My blood began to boil as soon as I heard that.

I'm currently sitting at my desk, contemplating what I'll say to him when the time comes. I couldn't tell him I was expecting a child, especially with Margo in the room with me."Kate."
