Horace repeated Ariana’s comments, which he had found out about through his network of insiders.
“Jasper is no match for me…” Theodore’s face lit up with a smile. “Did she really say that?”

“Theodore! What are you doing in my room?”
Ariana asked, startled.
“Your room? This is my house, so all the rooms in it are mine!” Theodore sneered, wheeling himself to
the table. He poured himself a cup of tea and took the first sip. “Tell me how your first day at work
