Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 503

The next morning, Astrid and several other interns showed up at the company. I subtly waved to her when I passed by the lobby.

Once the procedure was done, Astrid and one other lady were assigned to the design department. She had never dressed like a wealthy lady to begin with. Although she dressed quite modestly, it still didn't hide her cheerfulness, energy, and beauty.

Meanwhile, the lady standing next to her was dressed in luxurious brands from head to toe. She even exuded an air of arrogance. Someone would've thought she was the CEO's wife if they didn't know better.

After Astrid gave a brief introduction of herself, the lady standing next to her spoke slowly.

"Hi, everyone. I'm Mack Lennon. My family wanted me here… I mean, I'm here to learn from everyone." She covered her mouth dramatically as if she panicked from having said something wrong.

When I heard her name, I glanced at the employee name list in Mr. Finnley's hand.

Was her full name actually Mackenzie Lennon?

I lowered my gaze slightly. I didn't want to expose her little game. A few of my colleagues swapped glances when they heard that both interns shared the "same family name".

Emma leaned close to my ear and whispered a question, "Are there a lot of McLennons in your part of the world?"

I shook my head in response. In fact, it was rare to come across someone with McLennon as their last name. It was just that Mackenzie deliberately shortened her name to make it sound like she belonged to the McLennon family.

Mackenzie looked at Astrid disdainfully before she turned her gaze to Emma. "You might not know this about our country, but the word McLennon could be pronounced slightly differently. That's enough of this discussion. Stop talking about it, everyone. Now, where's my workstation?" Mackenzie looked so bossy that she frightened Mr. Finnley.

He immediately brought her to her desk while Astrid was largely ignored.

I tugged at Astrid's sleeves and asked, "There's an empty desk next to mine. Do you want to come over here?"

Astrid immediately nodded. Then, she gave me a puzzled look. I shook my head helplessly. After all, I had no idea what game Mackenzie was trying to play.

Mackenzie even had someone bring over takeout from a nearby five-star hotel when it was lunch break.

Mackenzie walked over to me and tapped my desk. "Get the food, Rinatta. My brother bought lunch for everyone. He's the CEO, and he knows exactly how many people are working in the design department. You all are in luck."

Then, Mackenzie turned around and left cockily.

I pulled out my phone and suddenly had the urge to know absolutely everything. I had just brought up Jack's phone number when his call came in.

I instinctively ran out of the office. "Is there anything you need from me, Jack? Is it something huge?"

My heart was thumping. Was it possible that Jack actually had another younger sister who was born out of wedlock?

I turned around, only to find Astrid wearing a displeased look on her face.

I was right!
