Marcel walked into the living room, holding two wine glasses and a bottle of wine.
He placed them gently on the table, then sat down beside Ethan.
As he popped the cork, he glanced at Ethan, cleared his throat, and began pouring.
"So..." He said casually. "Have you heard from Alex? D...did he talk to you about anything?"
Ethan furrowed his brow. "No. Why do you ask?"
Marcel quickly shook his head. "Nothing. just curious."
He shifted the mood. "What if I personally introduce my brand to him? Maybe make him a customer."
Ethan scoffed, picking up his glass. "Suit yourself."
Marcel chuckled, lifting his own glass. But just as he was about to reply, the doorbell rang.
He looked at Ethan. "Were you expecting someone?"
Ethan shook his head. "No."
He thought maybe it was Alex.
