[color=green]It was different to have the young miss ask for his advice, as he was used to supporting her father but Adrian simply sipped his tea and focused on what she was say. “The steel industry will be difficult for you to grasp as you have no experience in it but if you relate it to something you know about you’ll find common ground. Art for instance; when steel is heated up to a certain temperature you can bend the metal and turn it into a different shape. Start thinking of metal works as a form of art instead of a sheet of steel and you will come to understand their business. Besides, I’m fairly certain he will be more approachable then the rest, he has a boyfriend after all.”[/color]

The simple statement left James in a bit of a shocked state as he stared at Adrian, “He’s gay?”

[color=green]“Oh very much so, you couldn’t tell?” As James shook his head no Adrian let out a disappointed sigh.  “If you are going to ever help Miss Freya as a butler you must learn how to read who a person is in less than thirty seconds. Everyone can tell you about their personality in thirty seconds or less.”  Shaking his head he continued.

“In relation to Master Durnham Jr. there’s only so much we can do to avoid time with him. However we can control certain aspects.”[/color]

James nodded before adding in his own ideas. “Meeting in public would probably be best, or asking for a tour of the business so it forces him to stay business orientated. As a matter of fact, the more you can make it about business the better, and admitting that you don’t know about [i]what[/i] they do and you want to know to Master Durnham Sr. will jump at the opportunity to teach someone about their business.”

[color=green]“Master Durnham Sr. is a business man before a father. If you desire a distraction, ask his father to join him on a factory tour than admit you don’t know much about what they do he will spend [i]hours[/i] talking about it… your father made that mistake and we were there until midnight before your father finally cut him off.” A nod rose and fell Adrian’s head before he shot his gaze to James. “When are you going to tell the Master?”[/color]

James’s body seemed to sink into the chair as he held his cup close to his mouth with a small mutter of ‘I don’t’ know.’ As his gaze moved to Freya seeking help.
