Charles Prescott said, "I came by to deliver some company documents to you."
Nathan Fawcett walked over and sat down at the dining table. Charles Prescott followed suit, bringing over a laptop to show Nathan the files on it.
He also took the opportunity to brief Nathan on some company matters.
When he finished, he said to Nathan, "With you taking over the company, Second Uncle, it's bound to prosper more than ever."
Nathan watched the man flattering him, realizing that Charles was taking a step back in order to advance.
The man was clever, always knowing when to bend and when to stand firm.
Back when the old Chairman was still alive, the Prescotts—father and son—had been incredibly deferential.
But after the old Chairman passed away, they began treating everything that belonged to the Fawcett Family as their own.
Nathan said, "I thought you'd resent me for joining the company and taking away what you considered yours."
