"Evergreen Park is the closest location to us. Under the circumstances, I think an open, public place would be best anyway. I say we meet at the south entrance of the park near Jones and 54th Street in one hour. Does that work with you?" James asked the elderly man.

He looked over at his charge again when he heard her groaning. Mistelle woke up with a major headache and was feeling totally out of it like she hadn't slept in ages. Where in the world was she? She opened her eyes slowly and saw she was in her room. The next thing she saw was James on the phone with someone. She recognized him immediately for he was one of the family's loyal bodyguards. She frowned as she looked at him. Seeing how she was the target of one of her father's enemies once, she should have known she had a bodyguard. Still, it irritated her to have one because she wanted to live a normal life without her parents' influence. They discarded her so easily so she figured she could do the same.

James ignored Mistelle for a moment and focused on the conversation he was having.
