Estrella desired to know the reason behind Henry’s fluster, so she wanted to stay back. But with him waving her out impatiently, she had no choice but to turn to leave the office.
As soon as Estrella left, Henry said in a low voice, “Please understand, Mr. Dury. I can’t take out so much money in a short time!”
Smiling gently, Caleb said nothing, and this made Henry judder with fear.
Every time he remembered that night he was pinned to floor, his shoulder throbbed with the pain again and his heart quaked with dread.
Henry blurted, “No, please hear me out! I have just transferred my shares to that lady. The shares left are my father’s—”
“I understand you, Mr. Phillips.” Caleb’s voice was calm.

“So you mean I can go on and talk about this with your father instead, right?”
“No, I don’t mean that!” Henry said, rising to his feet at once.

Caleb raised his hand.
“Mr. Phillips,” he said, his voice still calm.
“We have been very much patient with you already. I hope you understand that Homecoming is not some charity organization.”
The door creaked open slowly, and Estrella poked in her head from outside.
Then she pushed the door wide open and strode into the office with two cups of coffee.
“Mr. Phillips, your coffee. Sir, your coffee,” Estrella said with a courteous smile as she placed the cups on the table.
Afterwards, she went on to stand behind Henry.

“Who asked you to bring coffee? Didn’t I tell you leave earlier?”
Henry yelled, glowering at her. His hands trembled restlessly.
“Now get out!
Estrella recoiled, startled. Her eyes misted with tears that soon began to slide down her face.
“Be nice, Mr. Phillips,” Caleb said, a polite smile around his Lips.
“You don’t need to yell at her. It’s not even so much of a big deal.”
Henry heaved deeply. Then he muttered, “Just leave us! We are talking about something serious. So neither should you nor anyone else come in until the meeting is over. Is that clear?”
