"Come in, Nathan." Mr Dawson asked me to enter his office as I knocked his door.
There were two men in black suit in the room with Mr Dawson. An old man with has a scar under his chin and his left eye was closed with an eye patch. And, the other one is a bit younger than him, but he looks scary too.
"Nathan, this is our business partner, Franklin J Drake and his assistant, Thomas." Mr Dawson introduced them to me. "And gentlemen, this is my son-in-law, Nathan Harrison."
They look surprised a bit when Mr Dawson introduced me, but quickly covered it by shaking hands with me.
"Pleased to meet you, sir." I said with a smile.
"So, we are here to discuss about a business trip to New York. And Nathan, I want you to go there with them since I have an urgent meeting in LA during that day. Can you do it, for me Nathan?" Mr Dawson asked me.
Business trip?
New York?
"When?"
"It will be held in two days." Mr Dawson replied.
"But I'm still an intern..." I show him my tag.
Mr Drake laughed. "Don't worry, Mr Harrison. We're here to help you. Trust us."
I look at Mr Drake and then to his assistant, Thomas.
"It's just for a week, Nathan. And you will gain an experience while handling this event, for me." Mr Dawson patted my shoulder.
"U-um..... alright then." I hesitated at first, but I have to since Mr Dawson put his trust in me.
"That's good, Mr Harrison." Mr Drake gave me a smile. "My assistant, Thomas, here will accompany you to the New York. I will leave for New York tonight, because I need to settle a little thing there. And you and Thomas will depart to New York with my personal jet. What do you say?"
Why I have a bad feeling about this?
"Oh, that's so nice of you Mr Drake. Thank you for your offering to my son-in-law. We really appreciate it." Mr Dawson said he's grateful to his partner. "Nathan? "
"U-um, yeah..." I look at Mr Dawson who is waiting for my answer.
"What do you say?" he asked me.
"Well.... I think I will accept the offer. But in one condition."
"What is it, Mr Harrison?" Mr Drake quickly asked me.
"Can I bring my friend along with me?"
He smiled. "Of course you can, young Harrison."
