699 Family Breakfast

Lucy cleared her throat to get everyone's attention at the dining after they had eaten for some time and all eyes turned to her in surprise since she wasn't usually one to initiate a conversation or even contribute much during conversations.

Tom raised a brow as he looked at her, wondering what she wanted to say since she had not told him anything about addressing his family.

"I would like to address everyone since we are gathered here right now. I wouldn't want to disturb everyone by calling you out to talk later," Lucy explained, but no one bothered to eat as they waited for her to speak.

"First of all, I'd like to start by expressing my deepest sympathies. I may not have known Lawrence so well, but I knew you all loved him. Please accept my condolence," Lucy said and they all nodded but kept staring at her with varying degrees of curiosity.
