[i]"Ariel its ok we are friends here in this situation and I am here if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on."[/i]

Ariel continued to remain silent, though she did nod to Mellie’s words. It was good to know that she could rely on others in the household; being the head maid often left her lonely in her position.

She blinked back to reality when the lawyer suddenly rose up from his seat and walked out of the room. Apparently his business here was over and done with. It was agreed that Phillip’s mother would take a small vacation to ease her mind while Spencer and Phillip handled the family business.

[i]“Hello this is Charles Ravenwood speaking."[/i]

On the other end of the line, Spencer smirked coyly.

“Ah, Mr. Ravenwood! Just the man I wanted to speak to. Listen, I thought it would be best to bring that granddaughter of yours over for some…time with Phillip. He’s been very lonely without her lately and I’m sure her presence would help ease his transition.”

He tipped his fedora unconsciously

“What do you say?”
