Mr Cornwell was baffled hearing James's comment "you miss understand, there is a lot of rich people but not many that can through around 1 billion easily"
"Depending on the projects authentically, I'm willing to invest in whatever you suggest. but you want to con me then that's another thing, do you understand?" James said blandly
"Yes, Yes I understand, there are a few people here today that are looking for investors for their projects and companies'"
"Hmm, what's the catch?" Charlotte asked
"What I heard is that they just need capital to continue"
James agreed to meet all of them investing in them all ending with 1.3 billion between all of them. by time they got back to the presidential suite it was mid night. Stretching as soon as they walked through the door "That took longer than expect" James moaned as he stretched.
"Only you would go travelling and land some more projects" Charlotte said while smiling. "But why did you not let me use my own funds?"
James began pouring a glass of wine for the both of them "It's simple, if you don't spend from your account then you get interest. therefore, having more money in the account helps it build up quicker. with the shares in your name. and the projects that will be completed will bring in more capital for yourself." James passed the glass of wine to charlotte, and they both walked over sitting on the couch.
"So back there when you said you'll invest and I stopped you, what we showed that we have more money that is willing to be investments. But in saying that it showed them I'm your backer"
"Oh, so you just did a power play"
"I'm going to get some sleep. Goodnight, Char" James finished speaking and went to bed.
Four months had past Charlotte and James was on a plane back home, Sitting in First class Charlotte held James's hand tightly as if it was the last time she could touch him. resting her head on his shoulder "Let me have this moment before we land. can't tell anyone so soon"
"The plane is about to land, and your dad is waiting at the airport for us" Speaking as he gently caresses her hand. the plane hit the ground, and they both went into a profession stance. Charlotte cute side turned into a cold persona.
They stepped off the plane suitcases in hand, seeing Lucian standing beside James's Rolls Royce. Charlotte let go of her suitcase running into his arms "I've missed you dad"
"Three months is a long time, Dad missed you as well"
James placed the bags into the boot, and opening the door for them both "I'll sit in the front so you two have some time for you both"
James sat in the passenger seat having the driver go to the manor, The Madam was standing outside with the maids to help move any stuff in. "Mum" Charlotte shouted excitedly, "My dear daughter, didn't expect you to be gone for so long"
The maid brought in Charlottes suitcase as the family went into the lounge room bowing politely "we took it upon ourselves to park Mister's car in the garage, it looks to be a stormy night tonight"
"Organise the spare bedroom for James"
"Yes Madam" they agreed and left the room.
"So three months what did you both get up too?" Lucian asked curiously
"we went to cloud city first, and our very first night at The Bell's restaurant we meet the boss. Both Charlotte and I were surprised to see how welcoming that restaurant was, Cloud city was amazing"
Charlotte smiled eagerly "the places there was specular, after a week we went to auctions and sight seen from city to city. the hanging gardens at Jensen's City to the auction hall at the Garlands"
"Well, that explains all the boxes that needs to be unpacked, in the Spare garage" Lucian laughed
The Madam stated "As much as you both had fun, I'm just thankful that you both are safe and sound"
James stepped out of the room answering a call abruptly letting them all talk privately, stepping outside on the patio. Charlotte's gazing kept sweeping past James's silhouette a faint smile grew inside her. "Charlotte you will have to think about what you want to do with your cars now, we only have a certain amount of space"
Charlotte suddenly remembered that they didn't only get antiques but had cars delivered to here as well. "Maybe it's time we extend the garage haha" she said mockingly, Lucian looked outside seeing James rubbing his forehead feeling something is off. he was going to walk out when he saw James hanging up the phone and entering the room again.
Lucian asked, "Is everything ok James?"
"Um I think so, Stefan just called saying he will be here soon. I tried persuading him meet me tomorrow at the penthouse, but he was set on meeting today"
Lucian's jaw dropped "W-what, it's been how long since he was around"
"Who is Stefan?" the Madam asked
"Stefan used to be my families most loyal butler before everything happened, now he pops in to give me stuff then leaves"
"Oh ok, what a strange man" the Madam replied carefree
James slapped his forehead saying "I kind of forgot, that car you went in to pick us up in will be transferred into your name Lucian, it is now yours. I was meaning to tell you before we left because needed a car to drive around in when the other car was being delivered"
Lucian waved his hands frantically saying "no, no I don't need it, give it to Charlotte"
"Are you sure? have you seen the cars she has now?" James said with a smile
"Um I only saw one, must have been delivered when I was at the company"
