The Tempest Prologue 21

Prologue 21

"Christopher." Freddy was surprised to find a familiar face here in London. The other was not alone; be brought along his daughter. The father was taking the daughter for a week long visit to London, but ended up with Freddy talking to Christopher most time while the daughter was doing shopping. It build up a bond that both men carried on for more frequent visits and after his graduation.

Alan Nates was not told of it; they met at the clubs or cafes. At the odd hours, when he was supposed to be dating the daughter. She was more into shopping than dating a boring Finance person.

"Freddy, you got the man in you. You should be head honcho." Western movies was in the circuit and Christopher loved them. He even offered to finance one of those but the actors he wanted declined the casting. It was the bait and then Freddy was hooked. Christopher shared his business with Freddy and the later felt more excited getting into the details.

"But you need to get out of your dad's business. He probably won't let you mixed in mine if you are still with his." Christopher sighed.

"I am not really involved in it. He hardly called me to discuss. Its just sign here and there." Freddy replied. Then he paused in his words.

"Damned! The biz was mine to begin with. Once he get buried, its all mine anyway." Freddy was hooked. The rest was easy.
