Axel's hand tightened around his cell phone as he asked, "I slept with her?"
Liam's foot nearly slipped off the accelerator to hear those words.
The car wobbled for half a second before he regained control.
Axel's head snapped forward slightly before he returned his attention to Collins on the phone.
"Don't talk nonsense," Axel said, his voice sharp, cold, edged with shock. "I never even remember ever meeting her."
The denial came too quickly.
Too forcefully.
Which only made the silence afterward feel suspiciously loud.
"How could I have a son with her?" Axel demanded.
Liam's eyes widened. Of all the things he expected to hear during his workday, accidental paternity scandals involving supermodels ranked impressively low on the list.
Collins hesitated. "Boss… I'm not really sure about it," he admitted. "But Dylan surely knows everything about it. I will ask him."
Axel's expression darkened instantly.
Dylan.
Of course.
