Melissa wrapped herself in the bathrobe, made her way to the French window, and called Albert. She started with a hello to him, and then inquired about how things were going with the Summit Ltd case. She wrapped up the conversation by mentioning she needed the day off.

Albert, guessing why she might want the break, didn't pry further.

He encouraged her to enjoy her time off, promising to handle the Summit Ltd situation himself.

After ending the call, Melissa turned to Marcus and said, “I've got the day off. What would you like for your birthday? I'll get it for me Marcus approached her, gave her a kiss, and playfully began to take off her bathrobe.

Meanwhile, Albert rubbed his forehead, suffering from a terrible headache after getting drunk last night.
