Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 504 What's Going On

Jack was stunned briefly.

"It's nothing huge, really. I'm negotiating a business deal outside. So, I'm not in the company. Can't I call you for the sake of it?"

I pursed my lips. How was having a younger sister born out of wedlock, not a huge deal? However, I held it in when I saw the displeased look on Astrid's face.

"Are you going to ask me about the interns?"

Astrid brushed past me and went back to the office, which left me feeling even more curious.

"Yeah. Is she at the office already?"

I covered my phone and asked softly, "Did you arrange for someone other than Astrid to intern at the company?"

"Huh?" Jack chuckled. "Aside from you and Astrid, who else would I have arranged?"

I thought about his usual temper and character, and I found the whole ordeal to be a little strange.

If Mackenzie was actually born out of wedlock and her father was one of the McLennons, Jack would never have arranged for her to be here. After all, Jack had the tendency to look out for his own people.
