The table was neatly adorned with food. Two chairs were occupied – Eva getting ready for university and Mr. Parker preparing for the office. They quietly had their breakfast, but Eva's mind was teeming with thoughts, contemplating how to steer the conversation toward her true intentions without her father catching on.

After a moment of contemplation, she initiated the conversation, "Daddy, how's your work going? Everything on track?" she asked casually.

"Any new partnerships or projects you're working on recently?" she asked.
