I Admire You For Who You Are

"Oh!" Lillian trailed her eyes back to his frowning face. He looked like he was fighting off his own thoughts which seemed to be making things much more difficult for him. 

"I-if you don't mind me asking, why are you so worried about it?" She managed to probe him further even though it was a feeble attempt. 

"Why don't you have a seat?" Blake motioned his free hand towards the two empty chairs before her. If they were really going to have this conversation, then there was no need for her to stay standing. 

"Thank you." She replied back hurriedly as she occupied one of the two seats. 

"I don't know how much you will be able to understand this, but I will try my best to make it easy for you." He started, clearing his throat. It would have been better for him if it was Katherine who was sitting on the other end of the desk, but he didn't want to burden his sister with worries related to his business dealings right after she had come home.
