"Not really." Roxy answered. There was no winning with her father. His only goal was to secure the company for Drake and future generations. He didn't care what he had to do to make sure his legacy continued. She accepted that when he kicked her out of the business. She understood, in a way, that as a daughter she couldn't carry on the family name. Technically she could be she no longer wanted to.

"There's nothing wrong with not being able hide things." Roxy assured the other woman. Sometimes she wished she wasn't at good at hiding thing but she was who she was. She couldn't change who she was. She was happy. It had taken a long time to get to a point wear she could be happy. She wasn't giving that up just because her father decided to re-enter her life. She would find a way to adapt. It was what she had always done.

I'm sorry. I thought you had an idea for them. I guess we should have talked about this weekend. Take your time. I'll try to think of a way to skip it if necessary.

Roxy hated every second of the drive. She wasn't a fan of enclosed spaces. Plus they were heading to spend the weekend with Devika's family. She wasn't looking forward to being the awkward wheel. No matter how nice they were to her, she wouldn't really belong. But it would be worth it. Devika deserved a chance to spend time with her family. It was clear they were close. They needed to rebuild the bond they had.

She noticed they were in a nice area. Not upscale but nice. Not that she would have thought of any less of Devika if she hadn't come from a nice area. No one could control where they were born. Part of her was eager to met Devika's family. It would be nice to learn more about the woman that she was living with. "I'm as ready as I can be." She didn't know if there was a way to be ready for something like this.

The day went too fast for Roxy. The idea of meeting Devika's family terrified her. People rarely like her at the first meeting. She wasn't the type of person others felt comfortable with when first meeting. Her tiny size and tough attitude put people off. She didn't want to make a bad impression but she didn't know how to avoid it. She had to be herself. They had to get used to her. She was always going to be in Devika's life for the rest of it.

When the time came to met Devika's family came, Roxy closed up the shop and went upstairs. She took a shower to make herself presentable. She debated what to wear. She didn't have much. She wanted to make a good impression. Eventually she settled on a clean pair of black jeans and a black polo shirt. Casual but dressy. It would have to do. Shr took a deep breath and went back into the living room.

Reginald could see what Jessamyn was doing and he wasn't going to allow it. This wasn't about her showing her detective skills. She was doing her best not to show how much emotion she was experiencing. He refused to allow it. He needed to know how useful she was going to be. The more useful she could be the more he wanted her. If she couldn't than he would have pull Roxanne in. They needed to secure the future and this leak proved to him that it wasn't as secure as he wanted it to be for his son.

"You're supposed to tell me who the failure is. If your not useful now you sure as hell aren't going to be useful when Roxanne figures out the stupid bubble. You're both dismissed." Reginald growled clear not happy with her lack of ability. As much as much as he hated the idea of a woman being involved in the business but he saw no way around it. She knew the business and could do what had to be done. "You two are dismissed. Roxanne I will be calling on Monday to set up a new arrangement."

"Fine. Let's go." Roxy stood up. Part of her was relieved the other part of her was pissed. Still she had known they wouldn't win any battles her. She never had and never would.
