Chapter 113

Jason’s casual coolness broke through the awkward tension as he said, “I’ve seen Estrella at her best and her worst, so no need to sweat it on her behalf, Logan.”

Logan lifted his gaze, perplexed by what Jason had just said. What was he getting at? Could it be that Jason and Estrella had crossed a professional line? That sort of scandal had never touched their firm before.
