"Yes, Daphne said that your father made sure you did not come back. Adrian just gave you time to settle in.. and um," now that she was telling Charles, she realized that Adrian had left a loophole that he did not fill.

"Yeah," he nodded absentmindedly. "I came back to work, I asked him for it and he gave the job to me."
"Maybe, that's all it is?" She prompted. "Maybe you just need to ask, and if he feels that you are ready, he will make it happen."
"Sometimes, I feel like James would be the boss after my brother dies." He chuckled, but it sounded pissed at best. "I am not involved in business. If anything happens to him, how to fuck am I supposed to know what to do?"
"Hey, don't say that!" Joyce smacked his arm. " Given the line of his work, you should say God forbid every time you even think of it!"
