Theodora was taking a massage from Sophie when the door of her personal chamber was opened with force. Sophie gasped, looking in that way to find Douglas striding inside.
She looked uncertainly at Theodora, who had her eyes closed and her head resting on the back of her seat.
"Sophie, would you please excuse us? I have an important matter to discuss with Lady Theodora."
Theodora was yet to open her eyes or make any movement, but by now Sophie knew better than ignoring Douglas Morgan's orders when it came to Theodora.
"Yes, My Lord!" She stood up, bowed her head then walked out of the chamber, closing the door behind her.
She warned the guards outside to keep their eyes open and not let anybody disturb their mistress.
Douglas came to stand beside Theodora. His face was set in a serious mould. He meant only business, but he couldn't overpower Theodora's influence at all.
