receiving a text from Stefan "Young Master, congrats on your Graduation, I have a gift for you now and some news"
A bank notification came through, his eyes widened in disbelief, Charlotte asked if everything was ok. James stammered "Stefan gave me a gift for Graduating"
"If Mr Stefan gave it then must be good" Charlotte said.
"No, he did way too much" showing her the amount as he spoke.
"1-1-1 trillion!" almost shouting,
James sent a message back to Stefan "you sent me way too much"
"Young master you don't get it, that's just the start of the gifts, your Parents planned this from the start, I'm just the Gatekeeper"
"Also, Sir, your parents had left me in-charge with a few assets alongside of money. so, each success according to the rules left by the Old Master you will receive the gifts"
"You should really explain the conditions one day Stefan haha"
"all in due time, I'll be back in a week or two. One more thing I'm sending a couple of friends to meet you tonight since Mrs Charlotte and you are having a celebratory dinner with the family"
James looked at Charlotte saying "Stefan is sending a couple of his friends over to celebrate with us are you ok with that, if not I will have dinner with them another time"
"Ask for another time so there is no awkwardness since your status is higher than my family, we will have to put on face constantly"
James didn't press any further and asked Stefan to postpone the meeting of his friends for a day or two. Stefan understood so didn't insist any further, as James placed his phone down the door opened up with Lucian and his wife walking in, James stood up letting Lucian sit at the head seat, Lucian tried to refuse.
"Please don't refuse, today we aren't standing on formalities you two are the father of Charlotte and we are celebrating this joyous day. So, Lucian as the father please take the head seat" James tried to convince Lucian to take the seat.
Charlotte's mum spoke up "I like James even more each day, take the seat honey. don't be rude"
Lucian sat down reluctantly, both of the girls began to laugh "didn't expect you to be so formal on a day like this dad"
waiters walked in after an hour as if it was timed, began to take everyone's order quickly knowing just to get in and get out soon as they could so their guests weren't disturbed. soon as the waiters left, they began to talk casually.
"Dad me and my friends are going out of town for a week"
"I will allow it if you try to grow some connections while you are out of town" Lucian said explaining "the more your name is known the more you can grow"
"Charlotte, can I send Julians men to watch over you just in case, not to babysit you just for your own personal security team at your disposal"
"Fine I accept the conditions, but I have conditions of my own" she looked at her dad with a cunning smile "I want you to expand the net profit by 2 within the time I'm away and the second condition is for James to expand make a name for himself while doubling his assets 3 times, at the moment you have 14 so you need get to 42 assets"
"Hey that is highway robbery" both Lucian and James shouted
she looked at them both coldly "then you don't want to set conditions anymore?"
"No, we accept" James retorted
the next few hours they all spent laughing and chatting away while they enjoyed the meal. James had a plan in mind already to help Lucian and himself with Charlottes conditions. after some time, Charlotte left to spend time with her friends before it got too late. James walked Lucian and his wife to the car "Sir with Charlottes conditions I can help you and it should be easier than she thinks" Opening the door to Lucian's car, waving them off politely.
The next morning James woke up earlier than normal, after breakfast James sat at his computer checking his emails, after replying and checking the documents he saw one from the company he just acquired replying back letting the President know that he would be heading to the company in an hour to get acquainted.
James went for a shower and put on a suit still having time to spare he decided to give Wendy a call "I know that I said you can have a day off, but can you send me the info of the other considerations you had before settling on the company?"
"Yes sir, they weren't as good, but they are reasonable"
"Thank you Wendy" with that he hung up the phone and looked through the other ones Wendy's looked sent through.
the first a designer firm had huge debts sole reason because the higher ups were embezzling funds from current projects, the second restaurant chain was facing issues because of constant roadblocks with other restaurants. both were forced to sell to cover the losses and pay off the debts, asking Julian to gather all the information he could for the restraurant.
President Cho emailed back saying they will meet at the front door. with that James decided to go to the company having a second look he suddenly remembered that the company was named Dawn Corp. going straight to Dawn Corp James stood outside of the company sending a message to the president, within a few minutes the building doors opened and a Older man in his mid 40's walked out
"You must be the Young master James, right?" he asked
James passed him the phone saying "I am, this is the email you sent just to show proof of verification"
"Thank you, I am Charlie Cho" he spoke as he handed the phone back to James.
