Davidson glanced toward the door, as if expecting someone to walk through it. "You brought him today, didn't you? Your mate."
Ethan took a step forward from the wall, his gaze fixed on a point just above Davidson's head. "Mr. Sterling's mate was unable to attend today."
Davidson's face went still, as his polite smile vanished. He stared at Noah for a long time, the quiet patience he'd maintained shattering into intense frustration, leaving him helpless.
