Florence wasn’t naive. She grasped Jonathan’s implication, and her expression soured instantly.

“Looks like Mr. Lawson and Miss Angela are quite cozy. Quite the envy- inducing pair,” she quipped, though her smile for him remained in place.

“Don’t bother with pleasantries.” He cut her off and gave a piercing and warning gaze. “What do you want to discuss?”
