The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1708

"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.

"So, what do we do now?" the secretary asked, carefully watching Murray.

Murray got up, clearly done with waiting for the trade meeting to wrap up. With a cool demeanor, he headed for the door.
