Life at the Top

Lisa pushed the door open, and before she could enter the room, she choked and sputtered due to the overwhelming cloud of smoke.

“Why’re you smoking so much, Dad?”

Lisa had changed greatly from how she used to be in the past.

Coupled with the glint of resentment and hatred in her eyes, the woman sent shivers down people’s spines.

Lisa shook her head and opened the study windows to let fresh air into the room. She sighed. “Dad, we should be thinking of how to deal with at this stage. There’s no point in locking yourself in the study to smoke.”

“What solution could there be?”
