Royce raised a hand in greeting, opening the door for me. I didn't hesitate because I only have 15 minutes before my breakfast meeting with Marica. "I'll put your bag in the back compartment." I suppressed the guilt inside for not saying yes to his offer. Maybe tomorrow. "Thanks, I thought I was gonna be late for my meeting," I said as I made myself comfortable while fastening my seat belt. "No worries, I'll just drop you at your meeting place," he said as he maneuvers the car. "Where will you meet your friend?" "At the office in Trinity building, can you take me there?" "Sure," he said,
