I narrowed my eyes suspiciously as I wondered what Marcus could possibly want from me because I honestly did not have much to offer. "I was hoping to discuss this with you when our relationship has progressed further, but I guess we might as well talk about it. You see, I’ve been interested in George’s and Rowan’s business for a while, and I thought that it would be great if you could put in a word for me," Marcus said before showing me a hopeful smile. "Business? If that is the case, why don’t you just talk directly with Rowan?" I asked, without hiding my confusion. "It’s not like I haven’t tried, but Rowan didn’t seem to like the idea of collaborating with me. Then George reached out to me about setting up a date with you..." Marcus explained before trailing off with a look that sough
