Chapter 49: On a thread

We arrived at the mansion and Mom left for the firm while Dad remained home. Aren't you going to the firm?" I asked him. "Are you chasing me from my own home?" he asked me. "No, I am just concerned, it is 2 pm and Mom left a while ago," I told him. "Are you chasing me from my house?" He asked again. "No, I am just worried," I said. "It is not your duty to worry about your parents," He told me. "What about the firm?" I asked. "Your mom is there to run its affairs while I am home," He answered. "Aren't you needed?" I asked him. "Your mom is there, the firm is in capable hands. She can run the firm without my help," He said.
