Parting Visit with have_no_mercy.
Charlie is aware of Tess' wealth, but even so, he wasn't quite picturing her living in an actual mansion. He's a bit taken aback, therefore, when his taxi pulls up to the specified address.
He even takes a moment to verify with the driver that this is, in fact, the right place. Once he has discerned that it is, however, he approaches the mansion with the same sense of awe as he did upon entering the Lowry. And the same feeling of being out of place, as well as painfully under-dressed.
The security guards are also a little unnerving, especially when they address him by name. But he is relieved when they allow him to enter and motion down the hallway to Tess' office.
He hesitates only a moment outside the double doors before knocking rather cautiously and will await an answer from within before venturing inside. Blame his civility on his English heritage.
