No matter how much money Cynthia offered, Zachary always gave it right back, untouched. He’d just tell her he could earn enough to support his family on his own, that he didn’t need her help. Jackson knew the truth, though. Zachary was worried about dragging her down, making things even harder for Cynthia in the Lane family.
Jackson slurped his noodles and glanced over. “Zachary’s oldest is about to graduate, right? If he can’t find a job, have him come to me. I’ll get him a spot at The Lane Group. He’ll have to start at the bottom, though. I’m not giving out high salaries just because someone’s family.”
He hoped that helping out Zachary’s kids might make Cynthia rethink the whole divorce idea. If she left, that door would close.
“It’s tough out there,” Cynthia said, her voice steady. “A lot of graduates can’t find work these days. But Isabella already saved a position for her cousin. The moment he graduates, she’ll bring him into her studio. She said she’s turning it into a company soon.”
She kept going, calm and matter-of-fact. “And the bookstore and café she’s opening with Laura? Renovations are almost done. They’ll need people to help run the place.”
Cynthia didn’t need Jackson to arrange jobs for her nephews. Isabella could handle it. Besides, she believed her nephews were capable enough to make it on their own. The job market might be rough, but if you’re willing to start from the bottom, you’ll find something.
