"Oh that's not.. Celia "
The older man answered

"That's Agent Morris dad, my new bodyguard... You met her yesterday "
Harvey included trying to jog up his father's memory

"Ohhh forgive me John. You walked in together, I thought it was my dear Celia, don't mind me am probably getting old"

They laughed and George ushered them to sit at the long table as they hugged and kiss the air with the rest at the table

"Where's Celia, I thought she would be joining us for dinner"

"Ohh she will be here soon, She's probably on her way... She wanted to take her new ride"
John Powell's wife, regina said

"I see.... I take it you remember my son... Harvey, and of course my wife vera and my baby girl .. Phoebe "

"Oh You have a beautiful family, George "

All eyes turned towards the entrance as a young lady stood tall and gracious like she's about to walk down a runway, with her long golden curls bouncing around her shoulders

"Celia likes to make an entrance.. "
Regina said introducing her daughter

"Very good to finally meet you Celia, the last time we attended the wine auction your mother hosted, I heard you were out of town "

"Yes Mr Pierce, I was on mid year world tour, it is always exciting to travel around the world at that time of the year,..... I'm sorry am late for dinner.. I hope I didn't keep you "

As they dive into their feast for the day, George and John went straight to politics and sports, while vera was giving Regina recommendations for skin therapy and their children munch their food silently

Noticing the awkward silence between Harvey and Celia, George knew he couldn't accomplish anything if these two remain quiet

"Celia, do you know Harvey enjoys traveling too, he spend the best part of his years after college roaming around the globe"

"Really, that's fascinating, where are your favorite places in the world"

"I don't exactly have a favorite place "

"Ohhh "

That didn't go well

"Harvey tell her about your time in Portuguese, how you learnt how to speak four different languages in six months  "

Harvey rolled his eyes
"Its not a big deal"

"Tell me about it please "

Harvey tried to keep the conversation simple, seeing that his father was glaring at him every now and then but he really didn't  have to say much... Celia did all the talking

After desert, The parents  left for the other room

Harvey's ears were bleeding from listening to Celia's endless rant, then he excused himself to get a wine refill from the mini bar when Phoebe followed him

"You are not even trying to be nice to her" Phoebe said bumping into him from behind

"Trust me, I have exhausted all my niceness tonight.... You know I don't have time for this "

"Like You don't have time for me"

"Phoebe that's different..... You know I'll sacrifice all the time in  the world for you but unfortunately I have little or no time left to myself but I promise you when and as soon as I can, I'll make up for all the lost times"

"Yeah whatever, am off to bed anyways.... Have fun listening to your incessant chatter box "

"I'm going to excuse myself very soon... I can't stand one minute of this torture "
