Garette gave Dominic a dismissive look, clearly unimpressed by his attempt at civility but a little bit scared. Before he could say anything else, the sound of footsteps caught both of their attention.
Dominic turned to the sound, his eyes widening in surprise as he saw a familiar face walking toward them. It was Matthew, the man he had just been thinking about calling.
"Matthew," Dominic said, his tone betraying his surprise. "What are you doing here so early?"
Matthew smiled as he walked over to Dominic, a briefcase in his hand. "Good morning, sir," he said. "I came over to discuss something important with you."
Dominic raised an eyebrow at that, wondering what could be so important that it couldn't wait until they arrived at the office. He glanced over at Garette, who was watching them both intently, his expression now tinged with curiosity.
