Let's talk business

It was early in the morning and Victor and his father were sitting in a fancy pub in Chelsea. Mister Astley, Henry's father, was sitting across from them.
"The advertisement will be printed in the paper every day for three weeks," said his father.
They were there to talk business but Victor had trouble concentrating. He was secretly hoping Henry would be there, too. Why wasn't he? Victor couldn't ask. Instead, he put his business face on.
"Of course, we can repeat it in a few weeks, just to make sure that everybody sees it," Victor added with a smile.
