Sarah was still concerned about Jared’s employment status. “He sounds like an important man. Can you see if Mr. Charleston can find Jared a job? He’s going to be your cousin-in-law, after all.”
Dog gazed scathingly at Jared. “I would refuse to lift a finger to help him for his attitude tonight. For Ingrid’s sake, I will put in a word with Mr. Charleston.”
Turning away with disgust, he picked up his glass of wine. “I’m going over to toast to Mr. Charleston’s good health. Help yourselves!”
Jared’s family and Ingrid’s family were the only ones remaining in the suite after Dog disappeared.
