Extra 16: Little CEO, Part 2

"What...?" George said, frowning.

"That's a lie. I didn't..."

"Who do you think you are to threaten my grandchildren?" George asked as he stepped toward the children. Elizabeth ran up to hug him. "What..."

"Grandchildren.." the pair were now scared by that and noticed that the boy had some features similar to the older man's.

"Son, I told you this idea of collaborating with these Internet kids was a bad one."

"You're right, Dad."

"No, wait, Mr. Peterson... this... this is a misunderstanding. It's

his babysitter's fault, and..."

"Bodyguard," Max said.

"What?" the woman asked, worried.

"I'm the kids' personal bodyguard, not their babysitter," he said, moving his jacket slightly to reveal a firearm. "Because I'm-authorized to hurt anyone who tries to harm my little bosses physically or verbally."

"Ma'am, I think the collaboration between the Peterson jewelry company and you is not happening... Fabian, take the jewelry and call security to escort them out of my office. Also, at the entrance, make sure they're banned from entering the company and label them as persona non grata at our stores," Elliot ordered.

"No, please wait... what... what happened was that I got upset seeing that they left their fingerprints on the jewelry on the desk, and..."

"So what if they did?" Fabian asked.

"What..."

"Young James Cooper is a member of the board of shareholders, meaning he's one of the owners. So, he can do whatever he likes here, even taking jewelry from the main vault or stores without paying," the redhead said.

"This kid..." the woman repeated, scared, now looking at the little brunette.

"Is that true, Grandpa?" James asked.

"Yes, son. You're my grandson. Here, no one can forbid you from doing anything or threatening you," George said, looking the young woman in the eyes.

The woman was now worried. This collaboration was supposed to get her high-value jewelry for FREE but now, because of these brats, she was about to lose it. "Wait, please. We can... um... we can talk this out calmly. We shouldn't make rash decisions that we might regret later, and..."

"The decision has been made. So please, leave and don't come back," Elliot said. "We're not going to collaborate with someone who's a terrible person."

"No, please... can't we just forget this ever happened and start over? And if you want, I can apologize to the little CEO. It was all a misunderstanding."

"The ones you should apologize to are my little sister and Max," James said, crossing his arms.

"Apologize to an employee?" she repeated.

"You should just leave now," Fablan said angrily.

There was a knock on the office door,

"Good afternoon, did someone call for us?" a security guard asked, entering with two other people.

"Escort Ms. Estelle and her representative out of the building. Their business here is done," George ordered,

"No, wait," she began to resist. "You can't... you can't reject me! I'm Estelle, a big influencer! If you turn me down, I'll talk trash about you all over my social media and make sure this place goes out of business!"

"Go ahead, do that, but be prepared for our response. We'll release the security footage online to show the world your true colors and how you tried to intimidate a couple of kids," Fabian said.

"What..."

"That's right. It's the advantage of having cutting-edge technology... so if you follow through on your threat, we will too, and we'll see who loses more in the end," Elliot said, smirking.

The girl gritted her teeth but couldn't argue further as security politely escorted her out of the company.

God, son, this is the first and last time we work with these internet kids as special models," George said.

"Hmm... you're right, Dad."

"What if we use that lady they invited last time as the model?" Elizabeth:

1 suggested.

"Which one, honey?" the older man asked.

"Eli means the actress from that movie in theaters now," James said. They had run into the actress that day because it happened to be the day of the photoshoot and commercial filming. "I think the kids are talking about Bianca Flores."

"That's right. She'd be perfect for the campaign," Elliot said. "Fabian..."

"Got it, I'll contact her manager," Fabian replied.

"Or, Lola could be the model," James suggested.

"That too," George said, amused and proud to see his grandson helping with the company's affairs.

"Well, forgetting about that, how are my favorite grandkids?"

"Uncle, you're wrong," Ellie said, laughing as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Why?"

"What about the twins? James asked playfully.

"Waaa... right, hahaha."

"By the way, Ellie, did you see the necklace?" the older man asked.

"Yes, Grandpa, it's really pretty."

"George smiled and opened the box, taking out the necklace and putting it on the little girl. "It's yours, sweetie."

"For me?" she said, astonished.

"Actually, your aunt designed it," Elliot said.

"Wow... thank you so much!" she said, jumping with joy. "Look, James."

"You look so pretty," James said, looking at his sister's excitement.

"It's a beautiful piece. Is it really costume jewelry?" Max asked, analyzing the piece.

"Huh? How did you notice?" Elliot asked, surprised.

"James said so," Elizabeth replied.

"Wow... son, I'm so proud," George said.

"Well, I've paid attention to your explanations, James said, smiling.

"Wow, James, you're incredible. At your age, I didn't know how to tell the difference," Elliot said.

"But Uncle makes amazing designs," Elizabeth said, making him ruffle her hair.

"Thanks..." he said, a little embarrassed. "Um... Grandpa, can I tell you something important?"

"Of course, son. Go ahead."

"Um... but..." he said, glancing at his uncle.

"Hehe, I get it. Come on, Ellie, let's go replace some candy," Elliot said, picking up the little girl, who laughed and let herself be carried off by him and Max. "We'll be right back." James smiled, seeing that they understood and had left him alone with his grandfather.

"Well, we're alone now, son. Tell me, what's up?" George asked, inviting the boy to sit on the office couch.

"I wanted to tell you that I want to be like my dad."

"Like your dad?"

"Yeah... I want to make buildings like he does."

"Oh, that's great, son," he said, ruffling the boy's hair.

"Grandpa... you're not mad?"

"Mad? Why would I be?" the older man asked, confused

"Um... It's just... I saw you wanted to teach me about your work so I could be like you when I grow up, but..."

"Haha, son, I think you got confused," he said, laughing

"Huh?"

"I was just showing you things about the company because I wanted to share my knowledge."

"Oh..."

"Hehe, and I see you've learned a lot. But son, whether you want to be a jewelry designer, an expert in valuing precious stones, or a great architect... I'll be proud of you." "Really?"

"Uh-huh..."

"So you're not mad?"

"Of course not, sweetie. I'll support you in whatever you want to be," he said, receiving a hug from the boy.

"Hey, Grandpa, what's this about me being an owner here?"

"Haha, that's something I'll explain to you later," he said, winking.

"And can't you tell me now?"

"No, because you're still little."

"Booo..." James whined, making the older man laugh.
