Marcus returned home early that afternoon to store the pig feed, then spent the rest of the day conducting market research and procuring supplies. By evening, he was exhausted and ready to head home.
After a quick shower and change of clothes, he walked over to the Mitchell house and knocked on the door.
Frank Mitchell answered, his face lighting up when he saw Marcus. "Director Harrison! Come on in. We just finished dinner – there's plenty left if you're hungry."
"Thanks, Frank. Don't mind if I do," Marcus replied with a smile.
After a hearty meal with a few drinks, the two men settled into the living room. Marcus relaxed in his chair while Mary Mitchell brought them coffee, then returned to clean up in the kitchen. Sophia had already retreated to her room to work on homework.
