He was lucky, though. He had a son in his twenties, just as sharp and good-looking as he was.
“Yes.”
The vice president hesitated for a moment, then gave up on texting and just called. “Mr. McKee, my son’s a physics major too. He’s looking for an internship right now. Do you think you could put in a good word for him with the R&D department?”
“Wait, isn’t your son a finance major?” Hector couldn’t help but laugh. He’d lost count of how many times the VP bragged about his son over drinks. Just last week he was a finance prodigy. Now he was suddenly into physics?
The vice president stalled. “You must be remembering wrong, Mr. McKee.”
“Come on. Just tell me the truth.”
The vice president sounded a little sheepish, but since he and Hector were on good terms, he went for it. “Look, I just want to give my kid a head start. Could you help us out, Mr. McKee?”
Hector blinked. A head start? What was he really after?
“Wait, does your son have a thing for Ms. Lawrence?”
“Well… I think Ms. Lawrence would make a great daughter-in-law.”
“Oh, really?” Hector let out a cold laugh and lit a cigarette. “You do realize Ms. Lawrence is Mr. Padilla’s sister-in-law, right?”
The vice president was stunned into silence.
