[ The bitterness and dislike had been implicit from the first time they'd talked, and it wasn't exactly hard for Jack to guess why. He just also chose to ignore it, more often than not, because he's personally pretty satisfied. Angelica was a messed up bitch, that was for sure, and that's why he'd bothered to whisk Heine away. Heine was the one that Jack knew. He knew there were others, but it'd never really crossed his mind to extend the same hand to them.
But when Giovanni is blunt (or close enough to it), that gives Jack some pause. It's not exactly guilt that gives him pause, and in fact it's nothing of the sort. It's more akin to curiosity. He sits back at his desk and reads over the message a few times, and it makes his usually speedy replies falter. When he responds, it's also pretty well encrypted. ]
Indulge my curiosity here for a second. You say it doesn't matter, and yeah, maybe it doesn't. But do you really feel that way, or are you just giving me lip service here because it's what you're trained (or whatever) to do?
