“Hmm?” he replied, his voice calm and steady.
“I'm sorry.”

“I shouldn't have offered your father money like that. It wasn’t my place.” Jessica’s voice trembled slightly. She

another round of guilt—claiming credit for everything in his life.
“Don’t you think | disrespected you?” Jessica asked hesitantly.
Using money to get Turner out of their lives... It felt wrong. If she'd paused to think, she probably wouldn't have
acted so rashly.

“This has nothing to do with Anita International. You can’t expect a company to dig into every employee’s family
history during hiring.”
“Exactly. He's the president. It's the research team that creates the new products, not him.”
“If this is how he behaves in his personal life, imagine what kind of boss he must be at work.”
