Perfection was key when you are a butler. You should do your job perfectly and without hesitation. Adrian was big into instilling those beliefs into his staff members and James listened to him whole heartedly. Adrian was the one who found him and his sister as they ate sandwiches on a park bench and offered them the jobs they had now. Little did James know just how much that offer would change their lives! 

He was indebted to his Master and Adrian for giving them the opportunity to work. Sure, Annie could work anywhere and get a well-placed high paying job as a maid or even a head maid, but she didn’t want to leave him behind. To show his utmost loyalty to his Master, Adrian and his sister; he spent all of his time focusing on being perfect at his job. Even if it meant he needed to keep his emotions and expression in check. 

Setting the bar correctly, he began to lower his arms back down to his side before he felt hands on his ribs and the sound of a “boo”. It wasn’t the boo that got him or even her presence; it was her hands on his ribs. 

“AHAHAHAHAHA!” His voice rang through the living room as he laughed loudly and honestly as he fell to the floor losing all his strength. Red faced and embarrassed, he pulled open his water filled blue eyes and stared up at her.
