EJ's Office

EJ: William, congratulations! You did an amazing job organizing the campaign!

Will: (smiling sheepishly) Thank you, Sir. It was just a small…

EJ: (interrupting Will) Well, am really proud of you. So… William, I heard that you are quite good at mathematics?

Will: Well, yeah, I sort of was at school, participated in Olympiads and stuff.

EJ: (smiling) Great! I guess I found the best mathematics tutor for my younger brother Chad. You know him, right?

Will: Yeah, of course. I remember meeting him at the Thanksgiving dinner at the mansion last year. But I heard he was studying abroad or something?

EJ: Yes, he was. But he is back now, to be close to my ailing father. He has joined Salem High, and he is having a tough time dealing with that subject. I hope you don't mind spending a few hours a week tutoring him.

Will: Oh, no. I don't mind at all. In fact, I myself have seen, while in school, some of my classmates' struggle with math. And, it's a privilege to help such students get through.

EJ: Thank you, William. Then, I will talk to Chad about this and ask him to meet you this evening at the mansion. Is it fine with you?

Will: Absolutely, my pleasure, Sir.

School Cafeteria

Chad: Shit man!

Sonny: Hey, dude, what happened?

Chad: My bro EJ just called and said that he has arranged for my math tuition with some William Horton, who works for him, and wants me to meet that guy at the mansion at 5 this evening.

Sonny: Fuck! Are you ok with that? I mean the rate at which your grades are slipping because of that damn subject…

Chad: Well, I have no choice. I have promised my old man that will get through school, and that means, get through that crappy subject as well. And, what about you, Mr. Einstein? Have you forgotten that you too are having a tough time with it?

Sonny: Damn, you are right! Even this morning, my parents were arguing about finding the right tutor for me.

Chad: Then, problem solved for you as well! Why don't you just call your dad right now and tell him that you are joining me for the "special" classes.

Sonny: Well, I would like that. But…

Chad: But what? EJ? Oh, Sonny, he will be cool with that. And, why wouldn't that Horton guy agree to this, after all he will get double the pay.

(Both laugh)

Sonny: Ok fine.
