The question got silence at first as his response, those intense eyes staring at the man for a while before he rolled his shoulders back casually, letting out a light sigh. “It’s good that you don’t believe it. And it makes absolutely perfect sense that Mackenzie doesn’t believe it, since the two of us would have had to have done something in order for that kid to be mine. But you already know that we haven’t, from what I’ve been told. Despite the fact that your marriage doesn’t make a bit of sense to me, I wouldn’t do anything to ruin it; because it makes her happy. You make her happy for…some reason.” Reaching into his inside pocket he pulled out a pack of cigarettes. “And to answer your question; No.”

He lit the drug, took a drag, and placed the pack back into the inside of his suit jacket, removing the white stick with his fingers. He let the chemicals out of his chest out of the corner of his mouth as a single stream of grey smoke before he continued on. “I didn’t start the rumor. Do you really think I did, or…did you just want someone to blame this on?” A brow arched, smirking a little. “Come now, Goldstein. If I were going to start any sort of rumor at all, it wouldn’t be about Mackenzie, and it sure as fuck wouldn’t involve me. It may seem strange to you, but I do happen to actually like your wife. She’s a very good friend of mine, actually. And as I’ve previously mentioned, I wouldn’t do anything to ruin her happiness…and that includes destroying her marriage.” Another puff of his cigarette was taken, letting this information sink in before he continued on, flicking away some of the ashes. “So is that really all you think we should talk about, or shall we figure out just how we’re going to handle this situation? Or is your tactic to just ignore it until it goes away? Because I have a horrible feeling that this is going to follow the 3 of us around for quite some time, if people are stupid enough to actually believe it.” His mind immediately went to Cecilia, who didn’t even know that there was a rumor at all just yet. He hoped to keep it that way, but there was no doubt that it would get back to her.

He was really ready to pummel whoever had started this. It not only humiliated his friend, but could quite possibly throw a wrench in his relationship with his girlfriend. He wanted to think she would just brush it off, but he could never be too sure with her.
