There was a row of coffee mugs that were cold and still filled on the side table of Royal's study.
Kerrigan had kept bringing a new coffee almost every hour even after Royal had specifically told him not to because he was not in the mood to drink anything .
Royal had not left his study since.
He was expecting a message from Carlos telling him how it had gone and he was afraid that if he left his office,he might miss Carlos' call , he had considered driving down to Carlos' place but then he had remembered that Carlos was at Sharron's place and he could not just show up there .
He had also given Matt the small task of getting in touch with the publishing house and trying to get them to put a call through to Ava for him .
