Marcus needed to go and check on one final preparation for his match tomorrow, and Mrazivý had to go and deal with the consequences for disappearing.
"Make sure to come by my box after you win tomorrow, so we can celebrate. Though I am sure that Heward will not let either of us out of his sight again."

"Oh Irene, it has been a while. The owner said he was expecting you and is in his back room waiting." The apprentice who was manning the reception and closing down shop said to Marcus as he entered.
Marcus nodded his head towards this apprentice and thanked him before heading into the back where Thabon's private room was.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
