Teach me love (ON HOLD)

fourteen

" I asked you to come in my office for like a thousand times..."

James rose his face from the document he was holding and stared at Laurence

" It was ten..."

Laurence folded his hands

" Same thing..."

James went on with his documents " I doubt your mathematical capacities.."

Laurence walked in and closed the door behind him

" Jonah previewed the new marketing strategy and I thought you should know.."

James nodded " I know, he came to me first"

Laurence rolled his eyes... " Ofcourse he'd do that... Aren't you lovely"

James smiled " this new company we're getting partnership into... Might be the best thing we ever did"

Unenthusiastically Laurence said " apparently, I know. Jonah was very rigid in it"

James looked up "I'm curious"

"About?"

" When uncle cut off workers... Heavens I thought he removed each of Sisera's closest personnel... "

" And you are curious why he kept Jonah?"

" Sorta"

" He's good at his job... And he knows everything about Sisera, remember,he was her PA ..."Laurence said

James nodded " he is good.
. Though we could do better"

" So what do you think about Royalé ?" Laurence asked

" Clifford's?"

" Yea..."

" I think that uncle is trying to renew his relationship with sisera  " James joked

Laurence rolled his eyes

"In Sisera's times the Cliffords held 20percent shares of the company. And, Cliffords were Sisera's closest to family and richest people in England....still are" James added

" Okay.. okay I get it, but I think we need a fresh company"

" King stop being conservative,
Cliffords know every detail of this company. After Marcus takeover he cut off all shareholders"

" A big reason why we shouldn't partner with them...what if they are planning a revenge?" Laurence asked

" Not everyone is a psychological psychopath like you"

If James was keen on Laurence's facial expressions he'd have seen the wounded expression that flashed Laurence's face.
But he wasn't

Laurence cleared his throat

" Anyways, they did not even send a request... I didn't know we  were begging for partnership"

James stood up with a file
"Well... Now you know"

Then he started leaving
" heading over Marcus's office, you should leave" he said to Laurence. Laurence frowned

" Jim... James, would you ever put what I did behind us"

James who was by the door without turning gave a long sigh

" I mean, would you? "

The only sound remaining was the shutting of the door
Laurence had stood there for a while
Heavy heart,
Busy mind....

With a long last heave he decided where he should go.

"When is the Clifford representative landing?"

Marcus sighed" I don't know"

James rose his brow..." And who is it..?"

" They won't say.."

" Oooh... Spooky" James gave a weird expression and immediately stopped when Marcus three him a glare

" Oh I'm sorry, are you bothered?" James asked the sarcasm clear in his voice

" Laurence was right you are trying to be a bitch.."

" How sweet?"

" Look ... The representative might be traveling incognito... I want full data on who gets in and get out of Dallas "

James chuckled" the thing is we are not FBI... Nor CIA sooo..."

" We can pull some strings--

" Or just wait " James said " what gives...?"

" I ... Already feel how stupid this idea is " Marcus said rubbing his temples

" Then why...?why Go for it? Why risk the company?"

Marcus's eyes were shut his fingers running small circles on his temples

" Sisera... I,those were the only people she trusted with her heart... Not even her brother--"

" I wonder why?" James rolled his eyes

Choosing to ignore him he said

" They wouldn't do shit to her company now would they..?"

" You forget it's not hers anymore..." James pointed out

" I ... They,..fuck..."

" You are not okay" James frowned

" No shit Sherlock"

" Its your migraine, when are you ever gonna check on that ?" James stood up heading to him

" Just fucking stop shouting..." Marcus hissed

" I am not... Now be a good boy and wait for your doctor..."

James was already on a call even before Marcus could protest...there was no protesting actually, since Marcus had already passed out when the phone call ended

James looked at his uncle then sighed

" You stubborn man... Atleast let someone take care of you"

After half an hour Marcus was still unconscious but fully attended
Doctor Lin turned to James with a grin expression

" You still have not taken him for further check up no?"

James rolled his eyes " he is practically a man child"

With a solemn face Dr Lin turned to Marcus
" He has to have further tests, the migraines could be because of anything. It could be serious--"

" I know... But he just..., He, he is impossible doc "

" I'll leave some prescription.... Again"

" I'm sorry"

After a minute the small Asian man was exiting the room.
James stood there staring at Marcus, feeling a chug in his heart ...

"Don't you just dare die yet... You still have sins to pay for" he said trying to feign the hurt

In a minute, Jonah was lingering by the door

" What's wrong Mr Jonathan ?" James asked

" I... Uhm, monthly report?"

"Mr Marcus can not attend you now... Clear his schedule for today "

Jonah sympathetically nodded " on it boss..."

After sending Jonah away he shut the door and quickly sent a text to Laurence informing him of Marcus and then just sat there waiting for Marcus to wake up...

" What are you stressed about big man... Is it the company? I didn't know you cared this much..."

The only answer he got was silence...
