Deja Vu

3. Charlie

3 days later.

Felix is getting ready early in the morning to go for a ride with Arnold. Arnold works as an event manager for medium to high profile people. Today, they were going to one of Arnold's new client to discuss an event. 

It is 8 in the morning now, Felix waits for Arnold. Just then he gets a text from him saying he's waiting outside. Felix leaves his house and walks towards Arnold's car.

"Looking neat my boy." Arnold says, sticking his head out the car window.

"Yeah well, why not?" Felix says, opening the car door and getting in.

Arnold starts the car and starts driving.

"Alright, so we going to meet the Fiennes. The husband, Christof Fienne? He's this huge business man, deals in all kinds of stuff, he started in real estate. Now he has like... I don't know tons of businesses. Rumor has it, all these businesses? They're just a front, for some illegal shit he does, I mean I don't know if it's true, but that guy is loaded!" Arnold says excitedly.

"You sound weirdly happy for that." Felix says, amused at Arnold's excitement.

"Of course! This guy is high profile! My first high profile client in last two months, this is gonna be huge, I'm telling you." Arnold says.

"Well alright, I'm happy for you. Also you hyped me up, I can't wait to see this guy, and his house." Felix says.

"Oh you're gonna love the house." Arnold says, smirking.

About 30 minutes later, they reach the house, more like the mansion of Christof Fienne. A huge mansion in the center of well made garden. Arnold drives the car through the front metallic gate onto a small road that leads to the front of the mansion.

"How awesome is this?" Arnold says.

"Wow..." Felix says, looking at the mansion in awe.

The car stops on a parking spot, they both get off. A butler is waiting for them outside.

"Mr Birk?" the butler asks.

"Yeah, uhm... Mr Birk here. Arnold Birk." Arnold says.

"And this might be?" the butler asks, looking at Felix.

"Oh this... this is Mr Fe... uh Mr Crusoe. Felix Crusoe. He's a friend of mine, I had mentioned about him... to Mr Fienne, he knows." Arnold says.

Felix looks at Arnold confused.

"Very well, please follow me." the butler says and starts walking.

They both start walking behind the butler.

"You told him I'd be coming?" Felix whispers to Arnold.

"Of course I did, would you look at this house? There's a butler! He has a British accent too! You think people with British butlers would want people casually entering their mansions?" Arnold whispers back.

Felix nods in agreement.

They enter the mansion hall. There's a round table and some cushy chair set in the middle for their meeting.

"Please have  your seats, Mr Fienne will join you shortly."  the butler says and walks away.

"Man this is some Richie Rich shit right here." Arnold says, looking around.

"You are unbelievable..." Felix says.

Felix notices a little girl peeping from behind a wall close to them, the girl stares at Felix. Felix smiles at her and is about to wave at her.
