Ashton drives back home feeling lighter. He is greeted by Amara cleaning his living room. "Ashton dear, Rowan wanted to talk to you when you're free. He said he'll be in his office."
"Oh ok, I'll go and meet him now."
"Could you take these too? Take some for yourself as well." Amara hands over a box of hot brownies.
"You spoil us." Ashton walks to his father's building and knocks on his office door.
"Dad?" He is received by silence. Ashton enters the office and places the box of brownies on the table.
"These haven't been sent out yet? Dad was planning to finish this last month," says Ashton looking over the files strewn on his desk. "There are a lot of pending files here… Feels like everything's slackening. I should talk to dad and take over some work, he's too overworked nowadays."
