Michael arrived at the estate and stepped off the carriage which was sent for him. He didn't expect to hear from Damien so soon, as he believed they should keep their distance after what occurred.
Michael grabbed his bag and started to make his way up to where a maid was waiting for him.
"Good evening, Mr Whitefield. Lord and Lady Hawthorne are waiting for you in their chamber. I shall escort you there," Hannah said with a small bow of her head. "Shall I take your bag?"
"No. I can be a gentleman and hold onto my bag. It doesn't look like it, but it is quite heavy. There is much I have stuffed in here. I must get a bigger bag," Michael said, lifting the bag to look at it.
"Very well," Hannah replied and led the way to the chamber. "As you know, nothing that is done here today must get out of the estate."
