Theodore knew Calhoun was madly in love with the girl, but he didn't know how to court the girl.
Theodore wondered if this was the phase between the transition of how Calhoun was and what he was going to turn into because of the girl's influence on him.
Theodore walked to the place where Madeline and Samuel stood, catching sight of the relieved look in Madeline's eyes. He looked at Samuel and said,
"You are late with your report."
There was a crackle of sparks between the two men who tried to stay calm and not get into a physical fight as it would be unlike the characters they portrayed in front of the people.
Samuel didn't like Theodore, and he knew Theodore didn't like him either. He put up a false smile on his lips, "I was speaking to this lovely lady here about the birds." He wanted to know who she was so that he could better acquaint himself with her once he finished his work with the King.
