    “The meeting will take about two hours,” he answered hesitantly.


    Marcus frowned.


    “That’s too long. Let’s round up in an hour.”


    Trenton nodded.


    “Okay.”


    Marcus stood up, buttoned his coat and strode out.


    Trenton walked behind him, confused.


    The order this time around was arge one. Two hours was a reasonable time for the duration of the


    meeting. How could Mr. Thomas think it was long?


    “Mr. Thomas has dressed up to the nines today. He looks like a different person. It’s so strange.”


    “Yeah, right? I think he has to see someone very important today.”


    It was only after listening to the servants gossiping that Trenton’s confusion cleared. Marcus was


    dressed up for Millie.


    She was also the reason he wanted the meeting to finish fast. He wanted to rush back and see her.
