do you want? I guarantee you I will pay you better than each of your previous employers.

You definitely won't have to steal pocket money to get by. Promised," he said sweetly.

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

James scoffed audibly into his phone.

How unbelievably insolent of him to not only assume that THE Beauforts were a family that's stingy with money but also imply that they did not pay their staff adequately.

"Okay, now you're just being ridiculous," he commented. "How much —

intriguingly, flicking his cigarette over the ashtray, ash falling down right into the small vessel.

“I can do that. how much do I get ? I wanna clear things up before I agree and don’t get paid enough— don’t wanna do your shit for only a fucking penny.”

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

"The catch is that you'll have to stay here. All the staff stays in our lodging."

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

James rolled his eyes, but that still managed to make him chuckle quietly. He was was gruff, unfiltered.

Different to the people that smiled in his face on a daily basis while lying behind his back.

"They'll be far from being only females and naked, trust me," he sighed and —

[𝒟𝐄𝐄. @twist3dblade]

I’m not your guy.”

laughing now. honestly. genuinely.

“you had me at helping the waiters— if they’re all women and naked.”

hah. very funny.

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

looked down at his polished shoes.

"I meant what I said. You can start today. You'll watch the guests and remove some of them if necessary, look intimidating, piss my father off by simply being present. Things like that."

One glance at his watch. Three hours left.

"Go ahead then."

“ no. i’m not finished. “

karaoke inbetween the dj's sets," he continued. If Dee wanted to be funny he could play the same game.

Of course he was kidding and that's nowhere near what he had in mind for him.

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

"First off what about getting a grip on your sarcasm," James answered back and leaned against the large column next to him.

"Can you start today? I need you here by ten tonight. I'm having a farewell party. You'll help the waiters with dinner and drinks, maybe do a little —

[𝒟𝐄𝐄. @twist3dblade]

what is it ? what can I do for you, mighty 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 ?,” he teased and leaned back on his couch, waiting for his response.

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

"I thought you'd sleep on it first," James chuckled.

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

The rich heir needed a few seconds, before he eventually answered the phone with his surname.

The silence on the other end immediately gave away who the caller was. The blonde excused himself and walked outside.

A smirk played on his lips.

number and waited for a response.

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

@DETHR0NEA Twenty steps were enough to change his mind twice before he finally stopped close to Ren.

James pursed his lips for a second; he hated to admit that he'd behaved like an asshole, but his behavior definitely hadn't been cricket.

"I owe you an apology. I got carried away."

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

He's sitting on the bonnet of his car, playing with a cigarette that hasn't been lit yet when he spots @DETHR0NEA on the other side of the parking lot.

leave or bite through and earn your right to stay. Your decision," he dared him in a confident tone and winked at him before he turned on his heels.

"Just know that whatever you experienced in jail is nothing compared to how my father will treat you.

Call me."

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

James should've left half an hour ago. The time all this was taking meant he'd have to postpone the following appointments and yet. . . he found himself just as intrigued.

It felt like a dare.

"Once, yes. I'll let you in once. And you'll either fuck it up right away and —

[𝒟𝐄𝐄. @twist3dblade]

mocking; intrigued. yes, he was interested. curious how much he could get if it meant no more drugs or violence.

“how much ? you’d let me come into your house ?”

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

to command someone like him around.

"I want you to be yourself. Unapologetically. While making sure people behave at my parties, at my house. I'll triple what everyone else would pay you."

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

skip a beat the moment he so brashly stuffed his card in the other's hand.

All that while being so close Dee could've easily slapped him if he wanted to.
And even if he tried to hide it; the man was intimidating.

And it fully worked on him.

"No," he sighed. He'd never dare —

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

@DETHR0NEA James simply chuckled. He'd calmed down after his tantrum, but the brunet's reaction was more than understandable after how he had behaved.

He slid off the bonnet to approach him.

"Wait."

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

Now he was the one to smirk.

Right. Like he was the one who laughed for no reason at all.

"Are you finished?"

side eyeing him briefly and then looking away.
“ creep. “

[❦ ͠͠. 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎 @Zcrofucksgiven]

"Right."

The blonde looked him up and down before ordering another drink.

"City full of freaks."

[𝗃𝖺𝖼𝗈𝖻𝗌. @fearindulged]

“ nothing. mind your own business. “
