"Mr. Saul, wanna grab a bite?" Someone called out to him, which made Saul snap out of his thoughts. He turned his head and replied, "Sure."
Then the two of them headed to the company cafeteria.
In the CEO's office, Molly arrived and headed straight for the rooftop. "Mom, I'm here." Upon entering, Molly saw that her mom's company's designer was also present.
Coleen was discussing something with the designer, and seeing Molly, she paused. "Molly, come here and let this lady take your measurements."
Molly walked over. As the designer took her measurements, she asked curiously, "Mom, why am I getting a custom-made dress?"
Coleen adjusted her daughter's collar, "You're accompanying me to an event next week. It's your first time in public, so you have to look stunning."
Molly understood. "Why do I have to go?"
"It's time for you to show your face in public. Otherwise, when you take over the company, nobody in the business world will recognize you."
Molly was silent. Chade Inc. was going to be hers? "Mom, I don't want it."
Coleen gently tapped her forehead, "Silly girl, if you don't want it, it'll just fall to your brother. Your brother's a cop; he can't run the family business. You can't shirk your responsibility."
Molly pouted. The thought of future responsibilities weighed heavily on her.
Seeing Molly's unhappy expression, Coleen teased, "At this rate, how could you support a man with your money?"
The designer couldn't help but laugh after taking Molly's measurements, "Is that really what Molly intends to do?"
Coleen nodded, "Yes, but she's all talk. When it comes to taking over the company, see how upset she is."
Molly felt being attacked.
While admiring Molly's figure, the designer complimented, "Molly has such a good figure, even better than my models."
"If I model for you, will you pay me?"
The designer chuckled, "I would, but I can't afford you."
After the designer left, Coleen and Molly ate lunch on the office desk. The thought of running a company frightened Molly.
Coleen later said, "Is it okay if I do not pressure you until you graduate?"
"Absolutely." Molly brightened up.
After lunch, she napped on her mom's couch. Close to class time, Coleen had her secretary take Molly back to school.
When Mia learned that her best friend was attending an event next week, she repeatedly warned her not to drink as an experienced person. She said, "You never know what you'll turn into when you're drunk."
"Mia, have you ever been drunk?" Molly asked.
Remembering her own experiences, Mia shook her head without hesitation, "No."
"I don't believe you."
Mia cautioned, "Don't drink anything that looks like juice. It could be hard liquor."
"You've definitely been drunk before." Molly was very certain.
Leo chimed in, "That does sound like something someone with experience would say."
Mia decided to stay silent and say no more.
Saul returned to the company. Molly usually only liked spending money and seldom came to the company. The last time she came to the company was to complete an essay that required a business analysis, so she brought her homework with her.
Why did she come again today at noon?
He went upstairs, under the pretext of needing an event proposal, and inquired about the reason for Molly's visit. "Coleen, I saw Molly earlier. Is she okay?" he asked.
