Chapter 203
They arrived at the dining room, but another servant came and whispered something to Mr. Jackson.
Mr. Jackson nodded. "Let him in." He looked at Elijah and Leanna. "We have another guest." He smiled. "A minute, please."
One of the servants led the guest in, and Leanna was surprised to see him. "Mr. Morris?"
William looked at her and nodded. "Miss McKinney."
Mr. Jackson asked, "You know each other?"
Leanna wanted to say something, but she had no idea how to answer.
William smiled and stepped in to rescue her. "We've met before."
"I see. Fate works in magical ways." Mr. Jackson introduced William and Elijah to each other.
"Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Parker. As young and successful as I thought you'd be," William said.
Elijah shook his hand. "Hello, Mr. Morris," he said.
Mr. Jackson laughed. "Well, don't just stand there. Sit."
Right after they took their seats, another servant hurried inside and whispered something to Mr. Jackson. This time, the old gentleman looked surprised. "Why is he here?"
William said, "I invited him."
Mr. Jackson nodded and raised his hand, telling the servant to invite the new guest inside.
As they chatted, William suddenly gave Leanna an apologetic look. "I'm so sorry, Miss McKinney. I had no idea you were here."
