You poor, sad multimillionaire
Chapter 2: "I hired your reputation, Sydney. I hired a pit bull, not a prom queen."

James fiddled with the strands of blonde hair splayed across his chest trying to wake the sleeping female. Finally she moved and sat up in bed looking at him with wide blue eyes. She grinned seductively and began toying with his hair, something he strongly disliked. He swatted her hand away and she pouted.
"Ready for another round already Jimmy-poo?" She purred.
James quickly hopped out of bed getting himself wrapped up in the sheets. "Actually Angela…I wanted to talk to you about something important…"
She giggled and threw her arms around him. Uh-oh James thought before continuing, "Angela…let me be direct about this, I'm firing you."
She stopped giggling and looked at him incredulously, her voice dropped as she asked "What?"
"Well…Ben ordered me to find a new attorney. Apparently, you lost us the Emerson deal and he wants me to find someone who has graduated from somewhere important and who can take care of the business properly and…" James threw his hands up in the air.
"But Jimmy-poo, this still means that I'll be your girl…right?" She toyed with the collar of his robe.
"Actually…you've been ordered to clear out all of your stuff by the end of the day. And you're not to return to any part of the Potter premises..." James began slowly.
"You own half the goddamn city!" She shrieked carelessly putting her clothes on.
"And your point is?" He ducked as a black vase came sailing through the air.
"I don't care! You're not going to get away with this James Potter!" yelled the frantic female.
James looked at her curiously. "Get away with what?"
"ACK!" She screamed constantly and ran towards him.
James stepped to the side and yelled, "George! INCOMING!!!"
A muscular man dressed head to toe in black opened the door as the frenzied blonde missed her target and ran right into the hallway wall hitting it with a thud. George threw her over his shoulder and carried her towards the elevator. James began to laugh hysterically as Sirius walked in munching on a chocolate chip scone. Remus accompanied him, but he was sipping coffee.
"What the hell did you do to her?" Sirius asked in between bites.
"I just fired her, it's not that big a deal! There are plenty of places where she could find a job. Take Hooters for one." Remus chuckled, James would never change.

Lily yawned putting on her robe and slipping on her favorite pink fluffy slippers. Cup of black coffee in hand she went out to get the paper. It hit her square in the forehead. She heard the paperboy '.chuckle. Gulping down the rest of the coffee she threw the mug at him. It missed. The red-headed kid on the bike yelled a sarcastic, "Sorry lady!" Lily groaned and made her way back into the sanity of her house. She flipped open the paper scanning the major headlines before she moved onto local news. In block letters the headline was 'Real Estate Tycoon James Potter Plans to Take Down Community Center to Build Condominiums'. Lily groaned. She really hated that damn James Potter and it was time for him to find that out.

James, Remus, and Sirius walked into the elevator. James told the attendant they were heading for the lobby.
"Well Phase One is done. You fired the hot yet psychotic bimbo. Now you have to find another one by the end of the day." Sirius said.
James sighed, "Well it she can be hot and psychotic but not a bimbo. I think Ben will have my head if I don't find a decent attorney this time."
"Well you have only a couple of hours…" Remus replied.
"Don't remind me." James grumbled. As they exited the building a redhead in gray yelled "Mr. Potter!" She was waving around a newspaper and in her other hand she had a cup of Starbucks. He ignored her and made his way to the car. She ran after him. Annoyed by her screaming James stopped at the car door long enough for her to catch up.
"What is it Miss…" James began.
"Evans. Lily Evans. I'm an attorney and after reading this mornings paper I noticed that your planning to take down my local community center for another one of your housing projects. I just wanted to say that…" Lily ranted.
"Did you say you're an attorney?" James cut in.
"Yes."
"And where did you graduate from?" James asked.
"Harvard. I don't see why that matters though." James grinned. Lily looked at him completely puzzled.
Motioning to the car door James said, "Get in. I have a meeting, we'll talk on the way."
Dumbfounded Lily stepped into the limousine. Remus thought Evans…Evans…Where have I heard that name? "Oh my god." He said aloud.
"You're the Lily Evans who is always protesting against all of James' projects." Remus said pointing his finger at her. She blushed and nodded meekly.
"How would you like to be my new chief counsel?" James asked.
Lily's big green eyes rounded, "Excuse me? I hate you. You hate me. I become your attorney? Sorry, but I am not seeing the connection."
"Well I need a new chief counsel or my brother will most likely beat me to a pulp. You graduated from Harvard so you must be brilliant. You'd be perfect! I'll start you at $200,000." James explained.
"He gives a generous Christmas bonus." Sirius piped.
"But..." Lily started dumbfounded.
"Listen, I'll throw in a nice uptown apartment where you can stay. You'll have millions of dollars in your hands to spend on whatever charity or organization you like. If work for me, I promise I won't knock down your precious community center. Do we have a deal?" James asked.
For lack of anything better to say she just nodded her head and shook his outstretched hand. As the three stepped out of limousine James called, "Tell my driver to take you home, and give him your number! You start tomorrow Ms. Evans!"
Lily still couldn't close her mouth. She was working for her worst enemy. How the hell did this happen? She thought as the driver sped her home.

The dim light and the red walls of Chinese restaurant were adorned with gorgeous pieces of art. Lily was scanning the pieces when Abby sat down. Her chocolate brown hair was pulled away from her face and the thick periwinkle sweater complemented her blue eyes. Lily was dressed in a pencil-straight charcoal skirt and an off-white cashmere turtleneck. They mumbled quick hellos and before they could talk a waiter came by with menus and they quickly ordered.
"On the phone you sounded anxious, what happened?" Abby asked worriedly.
"Oh nothing…I just got hired by James Potter." Lily said quietly.
Arabella spit her water out onto Lily's face. "You what?"
Lily grinned, "You heard me. I got hired by James Potter. I went downtown to talk about him tearing down the community center when he offered a job."
Abby looked at her curiously, "Your smiling. Usually when you talk about that 'egotistical corporate tycoon' you usually look like you could shoot laser beams out of your eyes."
Lily narrowed her eyes, "He told me if I took the job he would save the community center. Plus I can use his money to fund other projects. I graduated from Harvard, I think I can handle being some pretty-boy's chief counsel."
"Is he as sexy in real life as the pictures?" Abby asked eagerly.
"Abby!"
"What? If you don't want to go after him, I will. You can introduce us and then it'll go from there. Please, Lileeeeee!" Abby did her puppy eyes.
Lily scowled, "Well he did have two friends with him. I guess they're okay if you go for that tall, handsome thing."
Abby squealed. What have I gotten myself into? Lily thought.
