I offer my arm to Mum to get as far away from Adele as possible. But when I get to the table, Dad has arranged it in such a way that Adele is next to me. Not minding, I sit down and talk about the company with Dad, who is very excited about the accomplishments I am having. I completely ignore the person sitting next to me. Mum catches my eye and asks me."Chris, do you think you can take Adele home when you leave?" Mum's question feels like a trap, but I've come prepared for all her tricks."Sorry, Mum, I rented a room here at the hotel to stay longer with you. Seriously, I need my parents on a day like today, no one else, except my sister," I reply in a distressed voice, staring fixedly into her eyes. I add, so as not to seem rude, "I'll ask my driver to take Adele. But today I really need your company.""No need, Christian. I can call mine to pick me up. I don't know if you heard that Dad left me working in his company's office here," Adele says, a bit upset.
