"Mr. Jao, I had no plans of letting Cara leave until we've made up." Al told Peter Jao.
Peter Jao smiled and nodded at Al.
"It's good to hear that we are on the same page." Peter told Al. "I know that my daughter might not fully understand the situation at the moment, but she will eventually. I'll speak to her."
Al nodded and smiled, glad that Peter Jao hadn't insisted on letting Cara go.
"Al, did we ever tell you the story of Mr. Jao's sister?" Ray Lawrence asked his son.
"No dad. I was curious but I didn't want to press the topic. Uncle Andres mentioned her when we were in your office." Al confessed to the two men.
Peter smiled and sighed, as if recalling a good but sad memory.
