"So, Mr. Valjean, whaddya think?" Courfeyrac ended his presentation with a grin.
"Let me make sure I understand. You boys are going to open a," the rich old man trailed off for a second, "bakery?"
"Yes, sir! And we need you to invest!"
"Excuse me, sir. We have all the willing labour we need, we have a location, a professional website, all we need is a little more capital to get our supplies and possibly pay, but we don't need wages, if you're not comfortable with that," Enjolras clarified.
"Please, Papa? They just want to start a business. You always tell me to help others. And their pitch was really good," the investor's daughter, Cosette added, playing for sympathy.
"Alright." He wrote a check. "This should get you started. And don't you go without pay! As my daughter said, we have more money than we can use," he said jovially. "But I should warn you, I don't want my money wasted. I'll be checking on your progress every so often. But I'm sure your baked goods will keep me coming back anyway."
"Thank you, sir," Enjolras said, shaking Valjean's hand. The government was now one step closer to being overthrown. "This will certainly go to good use."
A/N: Thanks for giving this a shot! To explain this ridiculous idea, I found out that there's a bakery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana called Les Amis Bake Shoppe, and I couldn't help myself ;) This chapter tiny, I know, but it's just an intro. Future chapters should be longer. I'll post once a week at the latest, but right now I'm excited, so chapters will be sooner. In case you were wondering, this story will be mostly based off of the musical, but I plan on drawing from the Brick a good bit. And of course, please review. I will promise this, if anyone ever reviews or PMs me with an idea or suggestion, I will do my best to include it somewhere in my story! Thanks again!
