Henry Audrey Thompson/Synopsis

Synopsis
It was August 8th, 2022. Henry asked Isabella to tell Leona, as soon as she woke up, that she would come to her room after getting ready, and the housekeeper did. As soon as Leona entered his room, he wished her good morning. She returned it and saw him signaling for her to approach and sit in the chair in front of his, and she did.

Leona asked what exactly he wanted to talk to her, and, being direct, he said it was about her last school year. She nearly choked on nervousness, scratching the back of her neck, allowing him to continue. He asked if she knew he would like her to take Administration in college to inherit the company, which Leona agreed to. Henry said she could get into the better college if she continued with high grades and no warnings or suspensions. She stated that she never had such things in high school, and her father nodded at her statement.

He stood up and stared at the window, from which one could observe the garden better than Leona's room, saying that his expectations for Leona were high. She stated that it would not disappoint him, getting up as well. Henry said he knew she would not disappoint him, still commenting that she was just like her mother.

Leona smiled, and after a few seconds of silence, asked if it was just that, which the businessman replied yes, that only meant he was counting on her. She nodded and wished him good morning, turning and leaving the room. He looked back at the window, and wished her a good day too, in time for her to hear.
