Vanessa didn’t want to talk too much about Melina’s marriage and answered with a fake smile:


    -Of course, I’ll bear that in mind.


    Mercedes had mentioned it by chance and after hearing her daughter’s reply, she changed the subject to Vanessa and Ondo.


    -Vanessa, you’ve been married to Ondo for over a year. When do you want to have a baby? -asked the mother.


    She was looking forward to the arrival of her future grandchildren, so today she wanted to persuade her daughter.


    -We are still too young, we don’t want the baby at the moment.


    Vanessa sighed helplessly inwardly, if she knew Mercedes was talking to her about this subject, she would have jumped on it.


    You are twenty-four years old and that is the best age to get pregnant. Hasn’t the Moya family rushed you?


    -Grandfather didn’t say anything.


    -Grandfather doesn’t say it out of shame, and that’s why I have to advise you as a mother to have a baby as soon as possible,” Mercedes continued to convince her daughter.


    -I know, mother. Come on, let’s not talk about it any more, I’m ashamed,” said Vanessa, deliberately covering her face.


    Mercedes was amused by her reaction and made a purposely angry face at her daughter, but finally said no more.


    After a while, because she was worried about thepany’s pending work, Vanessa said to Felipe:


    -Dad, I want to ask you something about work.


    -Mother, you rarely stay at home, but you won’te with me, you even want to talk to your father aboutpany matters,”ined Mercedes unhappily.


    -Oh, mum, I’lle back more often, don’t be jealous. Besides, I have something important to talk to daddy about, please forgive me this time,” apologised Vanessa, making a pitiful face as she hugged Mercedes.


    -Well, go and talk,” Mercedes was unable to resist her daughter’s affectionate attacks and had to ept it.


    -Mum, you’re the best mother in the world! -Vanessa gave Mercedes’ hand a big kiss.


    He then went with Felipe to the studio.


    -What do you want to tell me? -Philip looked at his daughter with affection.


    -Dad, are there any problems arising at thepany? -Vanessa asked him seriously.


    -Why do you say that? -Philip did not expect his daughter to ask so suddenly and returned the question calmly.


    -Dad, don’t hide it from me anymore, I know everything. When I went to pick you up for lunch, I overheard your call. Dad, is the problem really serious? -Vanessa took her father’s hand in concern.


    -Don’t worry, I can get over it.


    -Really? -Vanessa couldn’t believe it, because she had noticed the strange atmosphere in thepanytely.


    -Of course I do, how can I lie to you?


    For the time being, the Caza Group could still hold on, because Felipe was a determined man and had sacrificed some projects to stabilise the current situation.


    Of course, if everything went well, thepany would get through the crisis calmly, but if more emergencies arose, maybe the Caza Group would copse….


    Of course, Philip wasn’t going to tell Vanessa, because he didn’t want his beloved daughter to be worried about thepany all the time.


    As a father, his daughter’s happiness was the most important thing. As long as Vanessa was happy, Philip would have both the motivator and the courage to face any problem.


    -I trust you, Papa,” Vanessa said, but she was still worried and added, “But Papa, promise me you’ll tell me whenever you need my help.


    -How grown up my little Vanessa has be! -Philip looked at his daughter with joy.


    -Dad, I’m not a child anymore!


    Even though she had married, Vanessa’s parents still treated her as a na?ve child, and did not want her to suffer at all, and, by the same token, the girl also wanted to do something for her father.


    -Dad, promise me you’ll tell me about all the problems facing thepany, I don’t want you to carry everything on your own, OK? And don’t lie to me, dad,” Vanessa asked with teary eyes.


    Philip in turn epted it immediately as he saw the tears swirling in his daughter’s eyes.


    -Okay, I promise I’ll never lie to you.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    With that said, Vanessa felt more relieved and told more funny things to cheer Philip up until bedtime.


    The next day, Vanessa felt more encouraged and decided to work harder to start learning how to run a business. Previously, she had been able to do what she liked because she had her father as her back-up and when her father retired, Ondo would run thepany in his ce.


    But now everything had changedpletely.


    Since she was determined to separate from Ondo at all costs, she would have to learn to manage thepany on her own, so she revealed her idea to Philip:


    -But didn’t you want to create your own fashionbel?


    Philip was very happy that his daughter had be mature, but at the same time he was sad that she had to give up what she loved for thepany.


    -It’s OK, I can run thepany and design at the same time. Besides, it gives me more security to have a bigpany to support me in my career. Dad, you don’t have to feel guilty, because sooner orter I will have to take over the Caza Group, won’t I? -said Vanessa, smiling.


    -Vanessa, I just want you to be happy.


    -I’m very happy and always have been, because I’ve been very lucky to be your daughter, dad.


    -My child,” said Philip, moved.


    Suddenly she felt like crying and he patted his daughter’s shoulder, saying:


    -Vanessa, my good daughter!


    -Well, from now on, I’m going to start studying at your side how to run apany well.


    -All right, I’ll send the secretary to prepare an office for you and ask me anything thates up. Also, you can ask the secretary and all the managers.


    -Yes, I’ll work hard, Dad!


    That same afternoon, Vanessa started learning hard in the office that Felipe had set up and soon got used to the rhythm of the work.


    It was eleven o’clock at night when he returned to Vi Real. She saw Ondo on the sofa when she opened the door, but she didn’t want to say a word to him and went straight upstairs.


    -What are you doingtely? -asked Ondo.
