Candice walks in and sits in the chair in front of my desk.
"You needed me?" She says and I nod.
"I wanted to talk about your daughter." I tell her and she scoffs.
"Gosh, what did she do now?" She asks.
"She didn't do anything. I was just wondering how she was doing." I explain.
"Why do you care? She's fine, it doesn't matter." She says dismissively.
"So she's doing well?" I question and she rolls her eyes.
"Why does it matter?" She scoffs, making me angry.
"It matters because I've known Halston her whole life and despite not talking in years I still care about her." I explain.
Candice laughs and hits the table. "That's a good one. Look, you don't need to pretend to care about her, no one else does."
"What do you mean by that?" I ask her.
She pauses for me a minute, as if she's been caught, before relaxing again.
"Doesn't matter, I'm just saying my daughter isn't your concern, Mr.Tames."
"Fine. You're dismissed." I tell her and she leaves.
I sigh, shaking my head.
I told Alexis I wouldn't talk to Halston but I need understand what's going on.
I call Everett and he picks up on the second ring.
"Hey." He answers.
"Hey, I need a favor. Can you go pick Halston up from her house and bring her to my office?"
"I thought you told Alexia we wouldn't talk to her."
"Just do it." I tell him and hang up.

There's a knock on the door and I walk over, opening it.
I see Everett standing in front of the door, it takes me off guard so the second I see him my eyes widen and I slam the door shut.
