CHAPTER 21

"Are.. you okay, sir?" Amanda asked and brought back the attention of Mr. Chester.

He had been staring at her for quite some time.

"Oh.. um.. Yes. Yes.. I'm okay Amanda. It's good to see how big you've grown." Mr. Chester smiled finally.

"Thank you sir. Sorry about your daughter. I know she'd get better soon. She's a strong woman." Amanda comforted the governor.

Mr. Chester smiled and patted Amanda's back. Although, he was now fully conscious, Amanda could still sense that something was up.

The wasy he never took his eyes off her was an indication.

"Thank you for always being there for my daughter. And, I really sympathize with you. My heart aches for the death of your father. He was a man incompatible with any other. Wealthy and powerful and.."

"Thank you sir. I'll be fine. Hopefully. I hope to manage the company at my disposal to the best of my ability and more." Amanda spoke professionally.

The last time she actually saw Mr. Chester was when her mother died.
