Charlie on the other end of the phone heard everything clearly, growling out, “Emily!”
The room suddenly quieted as everyone looked at the phone in Kyas hand
Emily & face turned red and she quickly took the phone and explained, “It’s my boss, he needs me. I’m going to take this call.”
With that, she rushed into her bedroom, phone in hand.
Gina quickly reassured the Ferber family. “Emily is a world renowned school graduate, her boss values her a lot. It must be something important!” Despite the strange male voice on the phone, the Ferber family continued to heap praises, “Emily is really outstanding, both her family and career are great!
Thott is also very outstanding, how did you raise such great children?”
“Oh, Theard Elliott’s father works out of town, what does he do?”
Gina was all smiles with the compliments, but when they asked about Shawn Sullivan, her smile froze. She replied, “He’s a chef, in a five–star hotel!” “That’s amazing!” Andrea exclaimed, “I just found out that Elliott’s father is just as accomplished.”
Terry asked, “Why isn’t he working in J City?”
Gina awkwardly explained, “A hotel specifically requested him, he couldn’t refuse, so he left.”
“He must be earning a lot then?” Andrea asked in surprise.

Emily’s eyes widened slightly, “No!”
