That would only happen if he ever found out the real reason behind his mother’s death. Maybe then, just maybe, he’d change his attitude towards Margaret.

“Only from the CEO’s office?”

“Yeah. If you really want them, why not ask Bryant while he’s trying to win you over? He could probably get you as many as you want.”

“I’d rather not.”

Keeping a clear boundary between Bryant and me seemed for the best.

Though, that was merely my side of things.
