He was not due at the office for another three-quarters of an hour.
I read this sentence in the COLLIN'S COBUILD USAGE. But I don't quite understand what it means. Does it mean 'He was not expected/supposed to be at the office for another 45 minutes'? or put in another way, 'People thought/believed he wouldn't be at the office for another 45 minutes'?
