"Lorna, your dad is so nice!"
"Seriously, I thought billionaires were cold and mean, but he's so down to earth."
"He was so polite to us. You're so lucky to have a dad like that!"
Her colleagues crowded around her, showering her with endless praise.
Lorna could only nod awkwardly. Inside, a bitter knot twisted in her stomach. If only Victor were actually her father.

"Ugh! I'm so mad! Is my dad insane?" Theresa paced furiously outside the mansion, ready to explode.
Arthur slapped himself hard across the face, his voice cracking with immense self-reproach. "Miss Theresa, I am so sorry. This is all my fault."
Seeing the usually composed butler look so shattered finally gave Theresa pause.
"Arthur, you... you don't need to do that," she stammered.
"Arthur." Victor walked out into the courtyard, joining them.
"Chairman, I am deeply sorry," Arthur said, his voice raw. He understood everything.
"Go back inside and look after Lorna's guests," Victor instructed gently. "Make sure they're well accommodated. Don't neglect them."
