James returned back to his apartment, to see the landlord standing outside his door, she was a little older then him, wearing a skin tight sportswear. "James about time you've returned, need to inform you of something"
James sighed saying "am I late on rent? I will pay it as soon as I can"
"No no, you've been here for a while so I know your situation. Besides there's someone that is in need of a room and I know your trustworthy so want to see if they can move into the spare room that is filled with those old boxes?" She quickly explained herself.
Breathing a sign of relief "Miss, those boxes are yours. So can do whatever you like since not using that room anyway."
James opened up his door before stopping "James, I'm asking you this as a favour. The person that needs a room is my younger sister Julia, she's just got transferred to your university so thought this would be a good start if she made friends with you"
James scoffed before luaghing "ok I'll help you out, but no funny business and will need to lay down some house rules too. Leaving with the opposite sex could be bit arkward"
The next morning James was sound asleep, jumping awake when hearing something crash. Running out of his room seeing removalists and Trish.
"trish, your a bit early" james spoke softly and kindly.
Trish looked at him up and down, blushing a little bit. "Julia will be here soon so want to get the room ready for her."
"Would you need any help?"
She smiled while saying "I think these guys will have it covered"
James nodded and walked into the bathroom to shower. The removalist had finished moving the boxes out and brought in some furniture for the room. As they left Trish began to clean the spare room, a sudden knock on the door scared her.
She opened the door to see Julia standing there with her bags "Julia!" Trish hugged Julia firmly before grabbing her bags, "just got everything organised for you!"
"Head a heads up you will be sharing the apartment with someone else, but they are trustworthy." Trish smiled joyfully while talking to her.
James walked out of the shower, with just a towel wrapped around him. Not seeing Trish or Julia, walking straight into his room to get dressed "Who is that?"
"He is James, been staying here for years. He helps out with whatever he can around here. So I give you my word you can trust him" Trish wasn't sugarcoating anything, he been staying and helping out the apartment issues since he moved in before Trish took over.
"Did you hear what happened last night? Mum couldn't stop talking about it" Julia asked
"No?"
They walked over to the lounge and sat down "you know the Brand? Well last night someone brought it outright with all of its assets" Julia spoke out of concern.
"I wonder who could of been able to do that? That business has alot of power behind them."
"Whoever, could do that means they are super rich!" Julia spoke softly.
James walked out to see Trish, smiled gently "you must be Julia, it's nice to meet you finally, Trish speaks about you alot. There isn't any food in the fridge, there will be some delivered in a bit." Grabbing his wallet James began to walk out of the apartment.
"I have to tend to a couple of things but will be back later on so make yourself comfortable. Text me if need anything will pick it up on the way back" speaking before walking out the door.
Julia was a beautiful woman so he left quickly not wanting to give her a bad expression straight away. "Don't mind him, he is always busy with something."
Julia stared at James back has he left
"I applied to work at The Brand last week, and suppose to go for an interview next week" Julia spoke nervously
Samuel made his way out of his dorm complex to a Cafe where alot of college students went to hang out, news spread The Brand quickly. Everyone wanted to know if someone knew something, ending with the same conclusion.
Thomas saw Samuel walk into the Cafe, getting a smile on his face. "Well isn't it the beggars bestie"
Samuel ignored his comment and ordered a coffee "getting one for the trash too? I mean everyone knows that he can't afford it for himself" trying to provoke Samuel.
"He works harder then anyone around him, gets through by his own strengths and not relaying on anyone else to get him through, can you say the same Thomas?" Charlotte just so happen to hear the comments, as she was passing by.
Everyone stopped their mocking luaghs and went quiet when seeing she was standing up for James.
"why is she standing up for him?"
"Does James have something on her?"
"What is going on?"
Whispers began to circulate, making everyone curious in why she making her stance on James's side
