( Outside the company Fedrick sat in his car in the parking lot thinking if it would be a good idea to go in. After what happened the other day he was still shaken up by the whole accident, the fact that he forgot how to breathe the moment Manuel stood close to him was still surprising. He sighed. His phone started ringing he picked up the phone and answered the call)

FEDRICK: hello.

FRIDA: hello? Fed where the hell are you?

FEDRICK: what do you want Frida?

FRIDA; Dad is looking for you. And right now he is a bit worried because no one would tell him where you are tell me where the hell you are right now.

FEDRICK: I don't want to. Tell dad I'll be home soon I just have some work to take care of there is no need to worry.

FRIDA: then at least tell me what you are up to. Is this about Manuel Ortiz? ( the line went silent for a bit) I knew it. Don't tell me you are up to something dangerous again or else I'm going to report your puppy ass to dad.

FEDRICK: you are going to tell dad are you serious right now? You are not a kid Frida for you to run to dad and tell him everything all the time. ( Frida started laughing )

FRIDA: looks who is talking. You tell Frank everything even things that don't make sense. Well for your information Frank's fiance is coming over for dinner and dad wants everyone to be present.

FEDRICK: you know she has a name right? Isabel. ( he open the car door and got out of the car, he walk towards the company ) when are you going to stop pretending to like her and get to know her? She is a nice person.
