Harry POV
Juliana was fixing my tie while we waited outside of Valentines mansion as she finished a woman opened the door with Mr.valentine that had a huge smile on his face.
"Mr. and Mrs DeVere.It's a pleasure to meet you" he greeted
"I'm awfully sorry.I seem to have my dates muddled up" I said Juliana held onto my arm
"No, no, no. I cancelled the gala because of you. Anybody willing to donate that much... deserves their own dinner.Come in!" He said the woman took Juliana's shawl which she muttered a thank you.
"Thank you" I said stepping in looking around.
"Got to admit, I was really intrigued to meet you.There aren't many billionaires"he said
.
"I don't doubt it. And, obviously,I had my people look into your affairs...and that's some pretty old money you're from" he said as we sat at the table Juliana stayed silent laughing here and there but sat sipping her champagne.
"How'd your folks make it?" He questions
"Property, mostly. Property and the markets. Nothing questionable, if that's your concern" I answered.
"Look, I'm just into finding out what caliber person you are. I'm sure you understand that" he said
"I'm sure you understand that.I most certainly do" I said
"Hope you too are hungry"
" I'm famished." I said.
"Quite starved if I do say so myself" Juliana said.
"Good. Grab a seat." He said we sat down I carefully eyed the silver platter gazelle smirked as she took off the platter to reveal junk food . We all shared a laugh
"I'll have the Big Mac, please and my lovely wife will have the same" I said holding her hand valentine eyed our hands.
"Great choice. But nothing beats two cheeseburgers with secret sauce" he said with a chuckle
"Goes great with this '45 Lafite. A classic pairing. And may I suggest Twinkies and a 1937 Chteau d'Yquem for pudding?" I said.
"I like it" he beams
"So, you want to donate to my foundation. You are aware that I wound thingsdown in that area, right?" Valentine piped up
"Climate change is a threat, which affects us all, Mr. Valentine.And you're one of the few powerful men-who seems to share my concerns" I said
"No, I shut things down, because I wasn't getting anywhere.Every bit of research kept pointing to the same thing. That carbon emissionsare a red herring...and that we're past the point of no return" he said it was silent
