“Long story short, she said Koenig seduced one of his professors while he was in med school, a man named Doctor Martin Gaultier, as thirty years older than hi his will and leaving hi with the ht after that, Gaultier died and Koenig got everything”

I shook my head and told her, “That can’t be true”

“So, Koenig doesn’t have a fancy house and a lot of disposable incoo, so at best, Cal West would be paying hirand a year at this point Granted, that’s a great salary, but it wouldn’t cover the e on a multi-million-dollar ho in student loan debt right now and probably living pretty frugally”

“True enough,” she said

“So, who at work has heard this rumor about Theo and the professor?”

“Pretty ht it was important for you to know about it too, in case it’s true If he’s really the type to sleep with or ain, that’s a person you should watch out for”

Yolanda nodded “Valid point”

“But you just don’t like Theo, so it’s easy to believe stories like this about him”

“Honestly? Yeah, it is I’ve worked with hilimpse of theyou, too”

“To gain what, exactly? My ancient Honda Civic? My collection of pun T-shirts?”

“I’ the saet you into bed, or ,” she said
