Augustus and Harold had locked themselves in the meeting room for more than an hour now. Even Theodora was not allowed to interrupt them. She wondered what Augustus had to share only with Harold and not her.
It happened only when Augustus messed up something. Did something happen during the days when he was away from Vincardine? If yes then what it could be? And where and why did he go during those days?
Theodora was getting restless by pondering over the same questions over and over again. Fannie was resting in her room in the servants quarters, and hence Theodora had no one to share her thoughts with.
Augustus maintained a face void of any emotions, but from inside, he dreaded the fact that he again had to surrender to this greedy man's one more selfish interest in the return of a favour.
"My Lord, I still can not believe what you are saying. If you have warned me about this beforehand, then we might have found some better way out of it."
