The next morning, Hennessy and Donny gather in James office to call Shi Wang.
Hennessy looked at Donny "Not going to lie i'm a bit nervous."
Donny let out a nervous laugh "Yeah i would be too. This is a big deal and it can be F ed up really easily. I've met Shi once and he likes to make himself a lot scarier than he is; But if you cross him...it's over"
Hennessys nerves rise "Great lovely i'll keep that in mind."
"Besides you probably won't even talk to him now. In person is going to be the real scary part." Donny tried to reassure
Athens, Greece
It's the morning of the family changing, business meeting. Alice gets ready to the sounds of the ocean and a soft breeze coming through her open window. She's wearing A black pant suit with low wedge back heels. She finishes by spraying herself with a designer perfume. She looked good, felt good, and now smelt good. Success was in her eyes and she couldn't think of a better place to have it happen. She was living her dream. She finally felt like the business woman she always dreamed about.
Faint sounds came from the kitchen. Alice walked in to see James making coffee for everyone. The counter was covered with different spreads of documents.
James turned around to greet her "Oh good morning Alice you look good i love the look!"
James handed her a mug. She took a sip and said "Thank you James! I would say the same thing to you but you kinda look the same as always."
Both laughed and in walks Leland
"Damn yall laughing at me already?" He said
Alice turned to face Leland "No we are laughing how James looks the same everyday even on important days like this."
"Yeah I'll have to admit I do too." Leland grabbed a mug that James put on the counter "A pant suit? Nice I was expecting a dress not going to lie."
"Yeah yeah, I just felt this was more me and more professional looking." She responded
"Hey wheres Austin? He should be out here by now. We have to leave in 40 minutes and I wanna go over some basic game plans before the car arrives." Stated James
Leland chuckled "Shoot after the party last night I'm surprised i'm awake. I'm sure hes still passed out."
Alice rolled her eyes "I told you guys not to go, especially with our day today. One second i'll go wake him up."
Alice knocked on his door to get no response. She opened the door slightly and said "Oh this is a pretty picture. Get up we have to leave in 40 minutes."
Austin opens his eyes to find himself in between two random girls. "Damn Alice cant you knock?"
"Oh my god I did I told you not to go out and get wasted last night. Who even are these bitches."
Austin laughed "You know I have no idea." He shook one of them to try and wake her up "This one might be dead."
"Whatever anyways 35 minutes." Alice shut the door and walked back to the kitchen
"How many girls did he have in there?" Leland joked
"Better have been zero." James said in a serious tone
"Just two. I told him to get ready though so he should be coming out soon." Alice replied
A few minutes later Austin comes out fresh and clean. "Damn I was waiting on you guys."
Leland laughed then looked at James who seemed pissed
"You know why I brought you on this trip Austin?" James started to say
