When speaking of having something he wanted to give the young man, Jeremy had not quite thought it out like he should have. He could tell by the sparkle in the younger maleâ€™s eye that he probably assumed he was giving him a fix or something and also knew he would probably be disappointed that he was not giving him any such thing. Oh no, he would have to do some more work if he wanted that sort of fix. And he did owe him quite a bit so he would be here for at least a month or so. Nonetheless, he would give the young man a little something for his trouble. After all, he had to keep his workers on a leash somehow whether he was well liked or not. Jeremy could be a cruel human being at times but it was all a part of his line of work. Nothing got accomplished whenever he was a nice guy, but he did know not to overdo itâ€¦<br/><br/>Most of the time, when he didnâ€™t lose his temper anyway.<br/><br/>He let out a hoarse yet quiet sigh, â€œI did say I had something for you, thatâ€™s correct.â€ Forcing a smile through his tired expression, he reached into his coat pocket and handed Philip what appeared to be a homemade cigarette that more than likely contained some kind of drug. â€œConsider this a pat on the back form yours truly, for all the good work youâ€™ve done for me.â€ Of course it was not quite what the young man desired. More or less this was a way to keep the young man wanting more though he wasnâ€™t exactly sure if he smoked anything but opium. He didnâ€™t care either, quite frankly.<br/><br/>â€œAs for you, miss, as touching as your concern for your brother is I will agree this isnâ€™t the place for your kind so I suggest you listen to your brother, turn around and go home.â€ He spoke bitterly, â€œPretty face like that is bound to capture attention, and you donâ€™t want to get hurt do you, miss?â€ His gaze seemed to go right through the young woman as he studied her for a moment. He was in need of a new pair as these were becoming a little loose, and because his vision was slowly getting worse. He had to lean in a bit to get better detail of the young womanâ€™s face. She was definitely an attractive young woman but she was just that, and being one of those higher class folk she was probably just another pretty face... Either way he knew better. She was way too young for his taste.<br/><br/>And why must women be so difficult, stubborn? A pretty young lady like her didnâ€™t need to be here she could get hurt as he said. But Jeremy knew that look in her eyes from anywhere. He has seen it many times before when people have tried to get their loved ones out of working for him. Having the experience he had, he knew not to fall for it. Of course there were times where he wasâ€¦ generous you could say or at least his kind of generous. His â€˜generosityâ€™ can usually go from a broken jaw to giving money away to someone. Thoughâ€¦ what Roger had said wasnâ€™t entirely false. Jeremy did have a soft spot for women and his cruel nature was not quite evident whenever he dealt with them, and yes his weakness for women has gotten him in trouble in the past. Nowadays no women can compare to his Margot and he has settled down quite a bit.<br/><br/>Just then, thinking about such generosity, an idea hit him and a devious smile came across his lips. She said she would help pay the debt, did she not? And to him that didnâ€™t always mean money.<br/><br/>With his index finger, Jeremy pushed his glasses up and then straightened himself. â€œThough on second thought, since you mentioned youâ€™re willing to help pay his debt, I suppose Iâ€™m always in need of extra hands. Two is better than one, no? I think this little job might do you both some good.â€
