After I finished giving instructions, I sat back down and said gratefully, “Thanks for the advice. I really hadn’t thought about fighting back like that.”

Edward’s eyes sparkled with a teasing glint. “Looks like you’ve still got a lot to learn–stuff you’ll never pick up from books or teachers. Want me to show you the ropes?”

I paused for a moment. Edward had managed to keep the Jennings family’s status and reputation in the business world, so he must be pretty shrewd and ruthless. If he could teach me how to hold my own in the business world, that would definitely be a huge advantage for me.

“Do I have to pay tuition?” I asked, curious.

Edward raised an eyebrow. “Since you’re so eager to learn, I’ll teach you for free.”

I shook my head. “No way. If I’m going to call you my teacher, there has to be a proper apprenticeship gift.”

He totally saw through my little ploy.
