That afternoon, Scovia found herself busy in her study preparing for a meeting with the Hans group scheduled for the following day. As she organized her papers, her daughter Irie barged in, acting as cute as ever.
“Mommy, can we go out with Tata?” asked Irie with big doe eyes, making it nearly impossible for Scovia to turn her down. Scovia was torn; she didn’t feel comfortable letting her daughter go out alone without her. Just as she was pondering how to decline gently, Scott, walked into the study.
“Cousin, it’s fine. I can take the kids out for you,” Scott offered, sensing Scovia’s hesitation. Assured by Scott’s presence, Scovia finally relented. “But why do you want to go out suddenly, sweetheart?” she inquired, looking at Irie.
