After a few minutes announcer came to the stage introducing himself and the evenings event, James looked around the room seeing there was a couple of big shots sitting around. Shaking his head before seeing Stefan.
He quickly sent Stefan a text explaining what is going on. Stefan quickly looked through the broucher as disbelief filled within him. "Leave it to me Young Master"
The table wobbled, seeing a burly man standing in front of them. Dory frowned, "what is the meaning of this?"
"Miss Flora, we aren't here for you" the man spoke.
"Then who are you here for?" Dory asked curiously.
"I'm the chief security of Athens, it came to my attention that this man beside you has came to steal"
James shook is head "this is getting beyond the joke, I'll come with you to figure this out" using this as an excuse to leave the event, James stood up out of his seat before being dragged back down.
"He is under my protection tonight, who is behind these rumours?" Dory stood up and pointed at Thomas who was smiling watching the scene "was it them?"
"Dory that's enough, I'll go and sort the issue out." James spoke confidently.
"You don't know what Athens is like, it can be troublesome for someone of your social standing. Let me help" Dory felt an urge within her to help him
James placed his hand on her shoulder gently "dont worry about me, worry about yourself your acting Like this towards a nobody look at how everyone isn't moving to help you out?" With those words spoken he left without letting her reply.
James was taken to the security guards office luaging as soon as the door closed "not once but twice tonight you all harassed me"
"So?"
Crash
The security door was pushed open with some strength "I'm sorry Young Master for these baboons" Goerge walked in timidly
James look coldly at the security guards "not once but twice they harrased me tonight, good thing I wanted to leave the event anyway"
James turned to Goerge saying "find out who put them up to this this time and teach them a lesson"
"Who is he Mr Scott? He looks like a nobody and that's what others been saying too" the chief said
"He is the owner of Athens, his Identity is strictly confidential. Understand?" His tone turned cold as he spoke to the chief.
The chief went pale, not daring to say anything. Not wasting any time James left the security office and proceeded to leave the building, Julia had just returned back to the apartment disappointed in what she had seen tonight.
Not understanding why they were so harsh towards James, she texted James to see how he was and to apologise. But got no response from him. Ringing his number "this phone is turned off" an automated voice rang out.
He had switched off his phone as he entered The Brand, going to the meeting room where documents were left for him to go through. James spent the night looking through the files making separate individual piles.
Next morning came through quicker then imagine, Charlotte didn't turn up but went to school instead. James realised that it was morning already. Writing a note for Lucian and leaving it on his desk for him to read.
Heading back into the meeting room to continue on his research. "This company is doing worse then what it looks like"
At 7am Lucian walked into the meeting room, greeting James.
"Let's cut to the chase, I estimate the company will go bankrupt within 2 months" James slide over a file "spent the night and found this out, how didn't you know?" James look emotionless at lucian
"T-that isn't my isn't my department Sir" Lucian frantically explaining
James stood up "it might not be your department, yet others report to their boss and their boss reports to their boss, since no one reported to you. Then who are you the boss of here?"
A hint of anger flashed throughout Lucians eyes "that there" James spoke smiling "that anger your feeling, you just realised what has been happening under your nose"
The meeting room door squeaked open "dad is everything ok?" Charlotte walked up to him.
"Everything is fine, James is more intelligent then I realised" Lucian turned and smiled at Charlotte.
"Mr Jefferson, what would you like me to do?"
James looked at Charlotte "you should go to class"
"I did, then Thomas didn't turn up. Heard the rumours that he offended someone last night at Athens and came to ask dad if he could help Thomas out"
James looked curious "why would you like to help him out?"
His phone began ringing it was from Goerge hesitating before answering "Yes?"
"Someone here that wants to talk with you"
He passed the phone to Dory "Remember me?
"Dory Flora"
