“Mr. Owens? There's an old man over here at the studio. He's been in Ms. Watts' office for some time...”
Not long after Caiden received the call, a black car pulled up by the studio's entrance.
“What's going on?” Caiden ran in and asked.
“I'm not sure, but the old man sure looks fierce.”
The woman who called filled him in on what was happening.
Caiden dashed into the office and finally saw the visitor.
What is he doing here?
Both Keith and Joan were startled to see Caiden himself at the office door.
“What are you doing here?” the old man roared with dissatisfaction written all over his face.
“I should be the one asking this question, Dad.”
Everyone were shocked to hear Caiden's blatant reply.
“He's Mr. Owens' dad?” one of the whispered.
“Oh my gosh. I can't believe I just badmouthed him.”
The air suddenly became cold in the studio.
“Mr. Owens, I think you should step in and explain things,” Joan remarked before stepping out.
All she wanted was to do her job and lead her team well. She had no intention whatsoever in meddling with the Owens' family affairs.
“What do you want to say, Dad?” Caiden sat down on the other end of the couch.
“Why is she working here? Why did you even open a new photography studio?”
“I'm a businessman. I want to earn money.”
What a joke! Keith scoffed and turned away. He took deep breaths to calm down the raging fury in his heart.
Our family is not in need of money!
“Close this studio, or lay her off,” the spiteful old man seethed.
