Charlie started to perceive deceit and foulness about to happen.
The question Colton asked him really got him confused."I do not understand your question." He said to prince Colton."My question is as clear as day." The prince replied him. "Do you really think you deserve that money after the nonsense you pulled off?" He asked Charlie again."I do not understand sir." Charlie said. "We had a deal." He told Mr. Steve."Hey, look at me." The prince yelled at him. He was startled and turned to the prince almost immediately."I am the one talking to you. Why are you looking at my uncle?" He said to Charlie."I am sorry, my prince . " Charlie apologized to the prince."Now, answer my question." The prince said to him."My prince, we had a deal and the agreement was that when I got home, I would be paid. " Charlie said to the prince."The result of your assignment was supposed to be photos.It was all supposed to go well, Charlie was expecting the next word to do with take your package, but he hears a different thing. "I get your point about Henry here, but we are not still paying you" Colton said. Charlie was surprised. "Why?" He asked the prince. "Like I said before, a failure is a failure and there is no pay for a failure. It is wastage of money." The prince explained. "So you are really not giving me anything?" Charlie said to them."I am afraid we are not." Colton said. Charlie was angry and upset he was very disappointed. "You know this isn't fair, right? And it has made me really angry " Charlie told them. "You have to go with what we are telling you. We are not paying you a cent." Colton said to him. Charlie give them an angry stare. They got the picture that he was angry and disappointed. "Why are you giving us that look?" Colton asked him. "I hope you do not let your anger make you try anything stupid because if you do, you already know who we are." C
Charlie's mind could not let him rest as he drove down to the house.He could not stop thinking of how he was played by the royal family. He drove home feeling very disoriented. Reaching his crib, he came out of his car and entered inside. He looked at his things, all packed up as he was ready to leave, not knowing he would be treated the way he was. "Those men are monsters!" He said to himself"Even after telling them that it was not my fault, it was Henry's fault, they couldn't even give me a cut of the money. They just left me with nothing!" He exclaimed. He was suffocating in his thoughts. "This job was supposed to change my life!" He knew he could not just let the prince, his uncle, and Henry go free after what they did to him. "They have to pay for this!" He said to himself. At the same time, he knew he had to be strategic about it. These were big men, men who in one way or the other ruled the country. If he was going to get back at them, he had to be stealthy because if
Henry thought about how he would impress Colton and Steve as he drove on the road. He was heading for his office, where he was before he got the call from Steve to go to Steve's office. "I need to get this right." He said to himself. He needed to. Too many things were at stake. If they started to think him not competent, they would place another person in the prime minister's position after taking Leo out and he was not ready to have that. He soon reached his office and entered inside. Before the all by Steve, he was working on something. Now, he had to pause what he was working on to do something more pressing. He took his phone out and searched through his contact list. He was trying to get his friend, the reporter he talked about. The one he needed to sabotage the press talk with. It was a long time since Henry had a conversation with that friend of he's. This made him have a hard time finding the number. Being that Henry was a businessman, he had a lot of contacts, and find
Henry was still on the phone with Jacob. Jacob acted reluctant at first. "You know that is not my line of work. I am not a political reporter, but a business reporter. " He said to Henry. "I know, but I need you to do this for me," Henry said to him. "I am sorry, I can't." He told Henry. "Please, I will pay you. " Henry said to him. "How much are you going to pay?" He asked Henry. "Any amount you want. Just do the job." Henry replied him. "Okay, I have a price. " Jacob said. "One million. " He added. Henry was shocked. He thought that Jacob would demand ten or twenty thousand dollars, or maybe one hundred thousand at most, but a whopping one million. That was hilarious. "That is too much Jacob. " Henry said. "I will give you a hundred thousand," Henry said to Jacob, hoping to win him over. "That is my price. You either pay or there is no business between us." Jacob said, holding firm to his last price. Henry then saw that Jacob was s
The gate man looked closely at the ID card as he turned it. "It says here that you are a business reporter. What brings you to a political press talk?" The gate man asked him. "Well, I am a business reporter as you have seen, but my...company assigned me because our team of political reporters are out of a country for an international politics press conference." He said to the gate man. This was a quick lie he made up to cover up, so he would be let in. He was a reporter and one good thing about reporter was that they could tell the best lies to get them into wherever they wanted to be. "Okay." The gate man said. He believed it. There was nothing to not believe there.After all, the political reporters at paper line went on a trip outside the country. They did leave a few in the country, so that they would represent them if any political event came up. When the driver remembered this, he said to him. "But there are some paper line reporters inside. " "I know, they're two. Two
"Good afternoon all," Leo said to the reporters. "Good afternoon." They replied him. The all looked at them, ready for him to say something, ready to jump on the news like they were vampires hungry for blood. "You can all proceed with your questions. " He said to them. Immediately, all the reporters started asking questions, all at once. The hall becamea rowdy and no one could he's the next person talk. The scene was becoming too uncomfortable for Leo. "Hey!" He yelled and they all went quiet. "Why don't we handle to day like mature folks?" He asked them all. It was true. They were behaving like animals and that way, nothing would be achieved. "Why do journalists like to behave this way?!" He asked himself. "Maybe it is just the professions" he told himself. The profession kind of always kept their enthusiasm high and their blood hot whenever they saw a story. They also had to be sharp, so another journalist wouldn't scoop the stor
Jacob stood up and adjusted his dress. By this time, Steve was already fed up. He thought Henry's person was done and nothing still happened. He was ready to turn the TV off and go back to work. Henry became more excited. He held his feet hard, ready for the questions he would throw at the prime minister. Leo thought it was just another normal reporter. He was expecting a good afternoon sir or some kind of greeting before the questioning began only to hear a while different thing. "Did you make the princess fall for you so her father would give you the position of the prime minister?" Jacob asked. Leo was shocked. Steve turned back to his TV which he almost turned off. Henry's eyes widened. He was expecting strong questions, but none like this. The king's jaw dropped in shock of the question thrown at Leo. "I do not understand." Leo asked him, trying to understand from which part of hell that question and from. "I said. Did you make the princess fall in love with you just so
Henry sat back in disappointment. Jacob was not able to deliver. Leo had successfully cleared his name and the world took his words. Rather than diminishing him, the press talk made him more loved by the people. Henry knew he was a failure at this point. His first plan for redemption did not work and now he had to go for the second. Jacob went back to his car, feeling disappointed. He picked up his phone and called Henry. After a while of ringing, Henry answered the call. "Hello." He said to Henry. "Hello," Henry replied. "I know you saw the news. " He said. "I did " Henry replied. "You failed me," Henry added. "I tried my best. It just was not enough " Jacob explained to Henry. "I understand," Henry said to him. "I am sorry," Jacob told Henry, then ended the call. Just then, Jacob's glass was knocked by his workmates who saw him at the press talk.He wound the glass down, so he could communicate with them. "What the hell were you thinking, coming here to ask such questions? "
