Estelle raised an eyebrow, “Everyone thinks he’s a real go-getter. Don’t you think that’s a good thing?”

Jonathan replied, “There’s a difference between being driven and being obsessed. I think he’s crossed the line. He’s got ambition, sure, but it’s all about the endgame with him. His feelings for Sophia don’t hold a candle to his career aspirations. That kind of guy might make it big, but he’s no Prince Charming for Sophia.”

Estelle pondered for a moment, “Magdalen said something along those lines, too.”
