She stopped, and turned as they passed her by slowly. Charles, who was looking around at the extravagant lights used on the ceiling, happened to turn, and caught sight of Mrs. Lincoln staring at him. She squinted her eyes further, but he turned his face away slowly.“Sorry, Simon. I need to use the restroom.” He lied, looking around frantically.“Do you really need to go? Let's make it back to the lawn first. The restroom is a little far away from here. I would not like to return.”“Then, when do I get to use the restroom? When? If we go back to the lawn, then the restroom would become even farther. Do I really have to wait? It's killing me like crazy. I have to go.” He whispered, holding on to Simon's arm.“Are you serious? Why didn't you know you wanted to use the restroom when we were walking past it?” Simon snapped, jerking Charles' hands off him.“I didn't know it was a restroom.” Charles snapped back, and Simon glared at him. “Follow me.” He said, and turned around, grumbling.
Charles was really excited on the inside, and out of instinct, he could have jumped on it immediately, showing how much he had been waiting for such an offer, but he composed himself.“What do you say to it, young man?” Sandra questioned.She was also wondering why he had not said yes just immediately after she gave him the offer. This got her more interested in him as she stared at him, scanning him from his head to his toes.She thought to herself that he would make a good employee if he didn’t usually jump at any offer which anyone made to him. At least, that would make him a trustworthy employee.“I actually I’m surprised, ma’am. I didn’t know what I did to deserve such kindness.” Charles finally spoke, acting like he was really touched by her offer.Sandra changed her standing position, and exhaled. She was glad because his response sounded like things were going to be positive which meant that he was going to say yes to it.“You seem like a unique man who has unique abilities. Y

Sandra walked out of her room, and headed downstairs to see Charles sitting humbly, and looking around like he was awed by the beauty of the mansion. She smiled, and walked down the stairs like a boss woman who has all she needs at her feet.When Charles sighted her, he rose to feet with both his hands humbly clasped together, and he bowed a little when she got closer to him.“Good day, ma’am.” He greeted her with respect.“Good day. Have a seat, Andrews.” She urged as she took her seat proudly and comfortably.Charles was excited and happy on where this was heading to, and he couldn’t wait to start his work here. At least, if he continued gardening this place, it might come to a period when he would be allowed into the house to run some quick errands or for any reason, and from there, he would have access to a few primary things that would aid him in destroying the entire family.“So, I’m happy you came early because there is somewhere I need you to accompany me to before you get bac
James sat staring at her, and wishing she didn't say whatever it was she wanted to say. “James.” She suddenly called, after apologizing, and his heart trembled. Amelia looked at him with a sober face, and tucked her hair behind her ear.Why was she doing this to him? Why was she intent on breaking him? He loved her so much, and yet, so much just kept on getting in between them.“I think we…” She began, but James was so fired up that he cut in.“Think we should do what? What exactly are you planning? What is it that you want to say that's so hard for you to say?” He asked, and she looked at him with large, apologetic eyes. “Don't make it any harder for me. Please.” She said, looking like she was really desperate for him to listen to her. “You're also making this hard for me. Amelia, I do not understand you, and I need to understand you, but you're just… it's just like you're somewhere far away where I can't reach.” James said, gripping his glass of water hard, and she looked down at
Immediately, I looked for a place to hide as I knew very well that if they caught me, and decided to hit me alongside others, there was a high chance that my disguise would be removed and that would mean the end of my game.Even while trying to hide, I hoped that Sandra was okay. Not like I cared though, but she was the key to me getting what I want right now.If she dies, my father could fire me as he wasn't the one who brought me in as he probably felt there was no need for a lawn man.I heard groans and the sounds of an intense fight, and after what seemed like ten minutes, I heard my fake name.“Andrews!” Sandra shrieked.I popped out my head from where I was hiding, and then noticed that Sandra's gang had beaten up the enemy gang.Relief washed through me and I stood up, dusting my clothes.“I'm here, ma'am.” I raised my voice as I walked up to her.Then she shook her head.“So, this is all you can do? Hide? Did you even bother to find out if I'm safe?” She yelled at the top of h
The anger Charles felt while he was on his way to James’ home instantly went down and I rushed towards him. Charles was quite confused about this sudden behavior.They were both on a mission and the next thing is he began to drink. Because Charles was aware he wasn't someone like that, he decided to be calm about it.“James, why are you drinking?” Charles asked as he placed his right hand on his back.And then James looked up at Charles, and shook his head like he was trying to awaken from his drunken state.“I'm sorry, boss. I have failed you.” He uttered, and that got Charles curious about what had really happened.He knew James was the type of man to ensure that he did his job diligently, so he had to get to the root of this.“Talk to me. What exactly happened? What put you in this state?” Charles questioned again, and James sniffled.“I… I feel ashamed to talk about it. Moreover, it's unprofessional of me to have bailed out when a serious mission was going on.”“James, I'm here as
That night, Charles called James over to his house for a brief meeting.“Good evening, boss. What's the update?” James asked as he sat on the couch opposite the sofa which Charles was sitting on.“There's this idea which sparked up in my head when I overheard my father and his wife, speaking.” Charles spoke, and James drew closer to listen keenly to what Charles had to say.“I’m all ears, boss.” “It seems my father needs a contract which has enough potential for him to jump on. More like he is in need of a certain amount of money within three months.” Charles continued as he interlocked his fingers.“Okay, boss. So, where do we come in from here?” James asked inquisitively and ready to execute whatever role he had to play.“I need you to disguise as a business man, and offer him a 30 million dollars contract deal. But you will be taking him out of the country. Let's say, Paris.” “Whoa! This seems so intriguing.” James spoke, feeling elated to hop on this mission.He had failed his l
