had a family problem to deal with.”
“Family? I had not realized Lillian had family in London.” Her voice rose with surprise.
“Yes, well we all have our secrets, do we not, Belinda?” The smile Foxjohn turned on Belinda made Gabriel want to kill him where he stood.
“That we do, Reece.”
They climbed into the same carriage and rolled away down the street.
Gabriel found his hack waiting exactly as he said he would. “What is your name?”
The driver was tall and broad, likely in his late twenties. “Thor, my lord.”
“What an unusual name?”
“Me mum was Norwegian, said it would make me a god.” He looked back at his vehicle and laughed.
Gabriel liked the hack driver. He gave him the direction to the Clayton townhouse and climbed in. When they arrived, Thor climbed down.
“Thank you for your assistance tonight.” Gabriel handed Thor more money.
He put his hand up and shook his head. “Keep your money, my lord. You still want me to come by tomorrow?”
“Yes. As I said, I may have further use of your particular talents.”
Thor grinned wide. “Then we can work out my wages tomorrow, my lord.”
Gabriel nodded and extended his hand.
Thor looked down at the hand and after a pause, took hold and shook it firmly then looked up at the Clayton townhouse. “You sure you don’t need me to wait?”
Gabriel shook his head. “I can manage from here.”
“Tomorrow then.” Thor jumped back up in his seat, set the horses in motion and turned the corner out of sight.
