The next day, Anastasia went to check in on Juliet and see how her studies were going.
When she returned home, she found Marcus waiting for her.
She raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"
"Came to take you out," Marcus said, getting to his feet. He was tall and lanky, with a relaxed charm. "I've been waiting for an hour. Where've you been?"
"I was just visiting Juliet," Anastasia replied casually.
"Juliet?" Marcus looked surprised. "Juliet is in Riverton too?"
Anastasia had just taken a glass of water from the maid and hadn't even had a sip. Hearing his words, she shot Marcus a wary look.
She hadn't forgotten his unusual interest in Juliet back in Fairhaven.
"What's with that look?" Marcus said calmly. "How could she come to Riverton and not tell me? Perfect. Let's take Juliet out for dinner tonight, a belated welcome meal!"
He pulled out his phone as he spoke. "I'll see if Barnett and Tyrone are free."
Anastasia had her doubts, but seeing how open he was and that he was inviting friends, she decided not to overthink it.
Juliet was going to build her life in Riverton, so it would be good for her to get to know them.
She called Juliet.
She thought about inviting Benson, but he was incredibly busy and still abroad for some show.
Meanwhile, Marcus finished his calls. Barnett was out of town on business, but Tyrone was available.
"Not calling Harrison?" Marcus asked her.
"No need. Juliet already had dinner at the Lancaster estate when she first arrived."
