Dustin laughed hearing that response, Sophia and Winston joining in with luaghing as well. "Even if Miss Flora is on your side doesn't mean you can boast like this, you are still a nobody"
Slap, Dory slapped Winston making her go silent. Leaving Sophia and Dustin in a daze. No one had dared to slap Winston before, he pulled out his phone to make a call.
"Sir someone is here making a scene and causing a ruckus you need to get here"
Dory ignored them walking up to the waiter to check if she was alright "what is your name?"
"My name is M-maria"
"James, she is cute and since she has been fired what if she works for me? I can build her up quite good" locking her arm through Maria's as they walked to the table and sat down.
James didn't budge an inch he kept staring at the trio "anyone else want to make any calls?"
Winston looked over to Dory before saying "I don't know who you are trying to be, talking big to impress Miss Flora won't do anything nor her connections can help you now. Mr Micheals is on the way to deal with you personally."
"Oh darling you got it mistaken, I'm here to have a meal. You three came and harrassed James, you should know something tho. James might be in favor with my family, but even my father pays respects to James" she laughed sinisterly after speaking.
James simply sent a text, then sat down beside Maria "I'm serious if you want you can work for me"
Dory scrunched her nose "she's coming to work with me, by time I finished with her she will be ruthless" Dory dotted on Maria, everyone found it strange to see.
Dory the most reserved woman in the city, ruthless when around James and sweet towards Maria. This was weird Winston watched has those two began arguing about Maria. As if 2 giants were fighting between themselves.
Dustin attempted to use it to his advantage, Winston quickly stopped him "why are you stopping me?"
Winston whispered "look you fool, this isn't as simple as it seems. Miss Flora hit me for insulting James, now they are arguing like they are long time friends. I have never seen anyone dare to do that with Miss Flora in all the time I've worked here"
Thud, Winston's legs gave out and he knelt on the ground lowering his head, like a prey ready to be attacked. Dory was feared mainly becuase how fearless her family was, people didn't know much about what type of people the Flora family was.
It Made everyone fearful since their business bloomed over night and they were not ones to mess around when their family morales were put to the test.
"M-miss Flora what is your relationship with Tgis person?" Dustin spurted out
She smiled cunningly "James is unpredictable and can put up with alot. But he has my protection"
Dustin snickered "so he is using your families backing to do whatever he please"
"Nope, had a family meeting last night and dad pretty much made it clear not to cross James in anyway" she liked her lips seductively "I wonder what the punishment he'd inflict if I cross him" such a thought aroused her.
"Dory can you behave and Dustin you don't quite understand the situation you are currently in. You followed me up here, cuased trouble in the restaurant and made Winston personally come here to do your bidding, Dory loves to seek justice. For the record, there's no relationship between Dory and I we are just friends"
Hearing James say all that she pointed at the trio "you three have ruined our meal, you know how hard it is to get James to come for a meal?"
Mr Micheals walked into the private booth in an calmly James saw him instantly "so your Mr Micheals, let me tell you. When your phone rings answer it." As his words left his mouth, Mr Micheal received a phone call."
"Yes"
"Who"
"Ok"
Was a brief phone call but everything was said quickly he looked at James before getting the trio to leave, not uttering a single word until the door is closed "Young Master, I am truly sorry for the welcome you have received"
Since entering he had not shown any reaction or facial expressions, "There's no need for that Young master, this restaurant is already owned by Mister Stefan. I'm just the face of this building"
Bang bang bang, jumping awake in a freight. James ran to the door peeking through the hole. Seeing Julian standing there looking panicked. James opened up the door, without hesitation Julian walked straight in with an empty bag. Straight into James room.
Starting to pack a few of James clothes "Julian what are you doing?"
Packing enough clothes Julian gave James the bag "you need to run far away, until it is time for you to be ready to ready"
"Julian what is going on?" Trying to get answers from him.
Julian took a deep breathe before answering "I got word early hours of this morning, it's not good. You have been played and decieved, there is a car waiting for you downstairs, I've made arrangements for you."
James was puzzled unsure what to do, "master this is all that I can do. He is a secure phone that connects directly to me, I have some men ready to die for you if need be but we need to secure your safety and move forward"
Seeing how James was still unfazed "Mr Jefferson look at this" handing James a camera, James face dropped severely. "Ok I understand now. I'll go first and try to get something started for our progress. When I get there I'll send you instructions"
James was concerned about what he saw on the camera and kept it to himself. Julian escorted James out of the building into the car. "This man is Vinciet, one of my most trusted men. He will be I charge of protecting you during this time"
Julian placed a small gift box on James lap before closing the car door. "Safe travels Young master"
After that day, the 3 Bronze leaders had disappeared including their men. No one had seen them nor get in touch with them. Mr Micheals received a phone call from an out of area number "find them all and get information on James Jefferson no matter what it takes".
Mr Micheal sent men to the Flora family, but being cleverly deceived by them.
