Samuel left the Cafe with Charlotte after hearing how she stood up for James, he didn't know what to say to her, Samuel was as shocked as everyone else.
"Ignore those who use abuse the weak to further theirs elves, but stand up what you believe in" Charlotte suddenly spoke before making her leave. Making Samuel more speechless. He couldn't understand her attitude towards James compared to her status.
James arrived at a secluded spot in a park, sitting down on the grass looking out across the pond. His phone began to ring, not looking at who called James answered.
"James, come to Athens. And join me for breakfast" a sweet soft voice spoke straight away.
"I'm not hungry atm"
"Then come to the Bland, since you need a job. I spoke with my dad and he said he'll find one for you and you just have to meet him" Charlotte was speaking politely.
Feeling like he had no way out, James agreed to go with Charlotte. He arrived at the office building waiting for Charlotte to meet him there.
"James" Charlotte shouted.
Charlotte is one of the school beauites which made James a bit relocated in accepting her help, causing a few doubts in him.
"Why are you helping me, Charlotte?" James couldn't help to ask.
Charlotte pouted "is their a law to say I can't help you?"
"You and I are in two different leagues, it will ruin your reputation" James said indifferently.
Charlotte grabbed his arm and walked into the building, the receptionist stood up to greet them. "I'm hear to see my father" Charlotte didn't hesitate to speak.
"You can go up he just in a meeting atm but can wait upstairs for him" the receptionist was polite while speaking to Charlotte.
Going straight to the elevator, Charlotte was smiling "today you will get a job" she was certain he would get a job.
Arriving at her father's office, hearing yelling "sir with all due respect, I have been working here for many years. You can't come in and change things so quickly."
Stefan walked out of the office didnt see James sitting there "everything ok Stefan?"
He stopped on the spot "w-why, are you here?"
James sat lazily saying "Charlotte here kinda forced me to come here to apply for a job"
Stefan saw Charlotte and remembered seeing a picture of her on Lucians desk, turning to look at Lucian "your duaghter is here Lucian" giving him a smirk."
A cold chill went down Lucians back, rushing over to see his duaghter. "Hurry up and greet our new president"
Charlotte stood up immediately and did a slight bow greeting him politely. Lucian looked at James who remained seated "get up brat and greet him."
James smiled indifferently "dear me Stefan do i really need to bow, kneel or what."
"Your here now so why don't I give you the gift I spoke about last night" Stefan didn't wish to entertain Lucian anymore.
James stood up saying "nah" beginning to walk out to the elevator.
"What sort of kid did you bring here Charlotte, turned down a gift from the president and doesn't greet him properly"
Stefan grabbed his arm stopping james from walking any further "Sir, this is your gift. It is the start of your legacy"
James turned around slapping Stefan. lucian ran over and pushed James away "how dare you hit him. Get out"
"Lucian shut up!" Stefan shouted at Lucian.
"Sir, dad is just standing up for you please don't think otherwise. James please think about what your doing" Charlotte was trying to calm the situation.
"Stefan I don't know the extent of the last order. But for the last 15 years I learnt how to survive with no money and no power so I don't really understand what you are trying to do."
"You have struggled, having the past and the present. Now it is your time to rise, to your former glory!" Stefan was excited knowing that he is able to make the Jefferson's well known again.
He turned around to look at Lucian and Charlotte "the young sir here is my boss, this building and all its assets is the gift for him. He is the last of heir of his family so treat him well." Stefan used the fact that Charlotte came with James today.
James saw through his act, but seeing the reactions of Lucian and Charlotte "I been hiding all, while living with nothing, no money and no support. So I wish to keep where I come from a secret"
Lucian hurriedly agreed to keep his secret and realised why Stefan was making changes.
"James, I will keep your secret if you accept this gift" Charlotte made the proposal, ever since she saw his efforts. She knew that he was meant to be more then what he currently was. Didn't matter to her about his background since they didn't really know each other.
James realised the dilemma that he was currently facing, decided to agree reluctantly.
Lucian blurted out "since you want to keep this matter a secret what if Charlotte becomes your assistant, while if anyone askes you you got the job of a driver for the chairman."
Stefan was thrilled about the idea, soon people began to come into the office to begin their work. The four of them went into Stefan's office, to talk further.
