Chapter 141 - James Brighton (2/2)

He was wearing a dark blue striped coat over a plain dark blue button-down shirt with matching pants. Though he was old, but he had a good physique. It was obvious that he was among those people who spend a lot of time and money on the maintenance of their looks.

Stella rolled her eyes inwardly. 'Excuses.' She had seen the secretary texting someone on their way to the office. How dare someone look down on her man and then cover it up with lame excuses just to save their asses.

”James, James Brighton.” He extended his hand towards Adam who took it, shaking it firmly.

”It's alright Mr. Brighton. Work comes first.” Adam replied with an expressionless face.

”And this young lady is?” James turned his attention to the girl who was standing a couple of steps behind Adam, holding a green file in her hands.

”She is my assistant. Stella.” Adam introduced her in a placid tone.

”Ms. Stella.” James nodded in her direction.

”Mr. Brighton.” Stella replied with a nod, keeping a professional smile on her face.

”Let's have a seat then.” James spoke up, smiling brightly. He was more than eager to know what brought the great Adam Levinson here.

”Coffee, tea or anything else?” James asked the duo as the sat down.

Adam and Stella were sitting on the couch while James sat on one of the single sofa chair across them.

”A black coffee for me and an English tea for her.” Adam replied without holding back.

”Sure.” James smiled at him before signaling his secretary to go and bring their drinks, who immediately left to comply with the orders.

”So what brought you here Mr. Levinson?” James asked, turning his attention back to Adam.

”I have an offer in which you might be interested in.” Adam replied as he put forward his hand before Stella, silently asking her to pass over the file which she did.

Adam passed the file to James. ”Go through it once and take your time Mr. Brighton, we are in no rush.” He added as he leaned against the back of the couch, lazily crossing his one leg over the other.

James nodded and opened the file. It was a proposal for a business collaboration with one of the subsidiaries under Levinson Corp. His eyes widened in shock as he looked through the file, flipping one page at a time.

His secretary had brought their drinks including his when he was halfway through the proposal, but he didn't pay any attention to his steaming coffee.

”Dad! Are they here?” A husky voice interrupted the quietness of the office as a young man entered.
