Esmae glanced at the receptionist, and just as she was about to speak, Reynolds’ voice came from behind her, “Mom?”

“The company’s doing well, Reynolds. I think I’m going to have to think about putting you back in the family business with Shawn,” Esmae told Reynolds, half-jokingly, as soon as she sat down.
