Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 504 What's Going On

"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?"

"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?"
