"Are you okay?" Kimberly asked Eric with a concerned frown as he drove the car. 

"Yeah." Eric said distractedly as he kept his eyes fixed on the road. He couldn't understand why he was partially feeling relieved despite the fact that his father had just succeeded in messing up his plans. Where was he to start from? He had just two weeks to find out how Kimberly felt about him, and to tell her the truth about who he was. Hopefully he could keep hiding his true identity from her until the two weeks was over. 

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Kimberly asked, turning in her seat to look at him, "Did you even hear anything I said?" She asked, since she had been telling him what the lady had said about Wumi and her step mother, but it seemed he wasn't paying attention. 

"Sorry. I was distracted. What did you say?" Eric asked, turning to look at her. 

"What is wrong? Did something happen? Is your friend okay?" Kimberly asked in concern making Eric smile.
