162 Preparations for the FMC fundraiser

Max and Nathan are walking down the hallway, on their way to their next meeting. 

"Did you see Hunter?", Nathan asked Max.

"No. He will not come to work today.", Max responded dryly.

"Will he come tomorrow?"

"I don't know. Why don't you ask him?" Irritation was apparent in Max's voice.

Nathan exhaled. He called Hunter on Sunday, but all his calls ended in the voicemail. But even if Hunter picked up, Nathan is not sure what he should say. Should he apologize? For what? Because they want to know about Mia's family? 

Nathan regrets that the situation reached the point where they argued and that Mia's feelings are hurt, but he does not believe that they are wrong for asking about her background. After all, if they are about to get married, Nathan is confident that he and Madeline (and the rest of the Anderson family) have the right to know from where Mia is coming from.
