The next morning,

Mr Anderson went with Tracee to the office to see his daughter's successful bussiness and to spend more time with her, he would stay at her office till lunch time and then go to Gail's office in the afternoon to see his other daughter's work place

Michael was at the penthouse doing some paperwork and making some calls for his new charity project now the builder's couldn't do much with the snow hindering their work

Mrs Anderson stayed at the penthouse too, deciding to do some cleaning and cooking

"We've a housekeeper for that" Michael mentioned seeing Mrs Anderson dusting off the dressoir closet

"Do you want some tea then? Or maybe a bowl of my famous tomato soup?" Mrs Anderson asked

"You're our guest" Michael reminded her

"I know but I can't just sit and do nothing all day" Mrs Anderson replied

"Ok I'll have tea then" Michael answered

"With a home made cookie? I'll make them" Mrs Anderson told him

"Sure" Michael answered

"Perfect" Mrs Anderson smiled and went to the kitchen to make her famous chocolate cookies and a pot of tea

While Mrs Anderson was in the kitchen Michael finished up with his paperwork, by the time he was done so was Mrs Anderson and they sat down on the couch enjoying some tea and the homade chocolate cookies that were still warm

Mr Anderson left Tracee's office and made his way across town to visit Gail to have lunch with her

Arrived at the law firm he met Gail in the lobby who just finished talking with her client and told the receptionist to book a follow up meeting with her client

"Dad" Gail greeted him and asked what he was doing at her work

"When is your lunch break?" Mr Anderson asked

"Actually it started five minutes ago" Gail answered "I know a great place not far from here" she continued and led him towards her car before driving to the restaurant she meant

Arrived at the restaurant father and daughter catched up while enjoying their lunch before Gail dropped him off at her sister's penthouse on her way back to the office

"I can see why my daughter loves you" Mrs Anderson smiled just as her husband got back finding his wife talking with Michael who just handed her a new cup of tea

"Did I miss something?" Mr Anderson interuppted raising his brow at both of them

"I was just thanking my wonderful son in law for the delicious tea and complimenting his amazing ideas for the charity centre" Mrs Anderson replied proudly

"They're just ideas not much more till they're actually happen" Michael explained

"But they're wonderful, I love the idea of having a different workshop on each floor so each child can discover his or her talent" Mrs Anderson complimented her son in law

"And the volunteers who will hopefully help are specialised in each talent, like atleast one person who knows about sports on the sports floor, an artistic person on the art floor and so on" Michael explained

"A chef on the food floor?" Mrs Anderson asked

"Doesn't have to be a real chef, it could be a retired chef too or someone's mother or father who knows how to cook" Michael replied
