"Count, James wasn't anywhere to be found."

"Nowhere?" Murray's cigar, unlit, snapped under the pressure of his fingers.

The secretary lowered his head. "Yes, I didn't even catch a glimpse of James's assistant."

Murray sat there, his expression a puzzle. After a moment, he tossed the broken cigar aside. "James is always a wildcard, even ignoring calls from the royal family. Not surprising he wouldn't see me."

If James wouldn't see Murray, he definitely wasn't going to see Carter.
