Hollywood Zenith

Hannah took the present and started opening it with expectant eyes. She felt bad for ruining the packaging, which looked perfect. He peeled off the wrapper and opened the box.

What came out was a book; more specifically, a picture book. It had vibrant cover pages which showed different characters from Hobbit. Standing in the middle was Bilbo, and surrounding him were his allies on his journey. Smaug was in the bag, looking huge and towering over the whole cast with a menacing look. There was a huge pile of gold and treasures at his feet.

When I first saw the book, I praised Uncle Thomas and the artist responsible for its creation. It looked amazing with all the handy work present and for its attention to detail. We then and there decided to release similar books for the masses; I am sure the children would go wild for this book.

The book was mostly pictures about their journey with some texts to better understand their predicament in the picture.

Hannah was gobsmacked by the present, which I was going for; From the side, Adele also looked amused by the book. But I only had one copy with me at the moment; I promised her to give her a copy on my next visit. She readily accepted my suggestion.

The party went on for a few hours; we all talked happily about different things, and when Adele learned that I wrote a book which was recently a talk of the town; she was truly surprised. Penny listening from the side, also praised me. She had heard only good things about the book.

Seeing that everything was going well, I offered Penny to help Adele with her studies and suggested the same school as Hannah, which was very close and had excellent infrastructure.

This took them by surprised; but under the pleading of Hannah, they said they would think about it. I was happy, at least I was not flat out rejected. When we were having the post-meal discussion, Oscar got a phone call.

When he came back he said and informed me about the family meeting. Father and grandpa informed me about it in past week, that they had to discuss something. They were not specific, but seeing their serious tone, I made a mental note. I didn't expect it to happen today. I was thinking about attending the Moore family gathering for Hannah's birthday, but now it seems impossible.

" I am sorry Hannah, I have to go home. It seems urgent. " I flat out said.

Seeing me all serious. Hannah said, " Ok, big brother, I was going to invite you for the family gathering but you are a busy person. I understand but you have to promise me to repay in future with going to the amusement park."

I could see, she was a little disappointed, but still encouraged me, which made me smile at how sensible she was about the situation.

" I promise. Miss Penny, Adele. Please think about the proporsal. Oscar will contact you in few days. " I said. They were quiet, but nodded. I promised Adele to invite her next time along with Hannah to our visit to out to play. I said parting words to mother and daughter and escorted Hannah to her home.

She was feeling a little better with my gift in hand, about to go on a binge read probably. I also greeted her parents on the way out and got into the car. We rushed to Rothchild's estate.

[ Inside Rothchild Mansion ]

Kenneth was sitting with all the family members except for Mary and Peter. They were discussing an important matter concerning Samuel. Arthur finished the call and turned to Kenneth and said--

" Oscar said they are on their way now. They will arrive in half an hour."

" Good " he said to Arthur, and looked at Robert to say, " That only leaves George, I heard he is coming back to Britian today. Did you hear anything yet, son."

"Yes, Big Brother George's film shooting ended a few days ago, which freed up his schedule a little. He is coming with sister-in-law, Amelia. They informed me a few minutes ago that their flight had landed safely and they are in inroute. "

" Good, finally the whole family will be together." Kenneth said and continued--

"Now everyone know about the rumor concerning Samuel. We were hoping to keep him a secret for a few more months but Laura got the critical information that Samuel's bithday will be coming in few weeks. Samuel is a smart child. He already showed us through his recent acheivements and his future vision; his fame will increase more and more in future. I have read his latest work and as far I could understand he has innate talent in literature. Brother Donald you agree with me right? " He looked at Donald.

" Yes, He is already a accomplished writer. He will surely do more impressive feats in future. " Donald added.

" He also have a business mind. From the resquest to establish his own company to selling different versions of Hobbit were great ideas. It's nothing new but thinking far ahead is a great sign." Robert added.

" He is also very sensible to others, I saw him talking to workers in the garden from time to time. He would also ask all of us different questions to understand better about his interests. " Patricia also piled up.

" The young master cares about us very much. He would regularly protest to learn cooking, which made our cooks perplexed at first but they were happy to receive genuine compliments from him. " Arthur said.

Everyone started reminishing about their experiences with Samuel and their mouth formed a natural smile.

" Ok, Ok, I understand. No, need to be so smug about it. We are here to discuss the underlying effect of it. Though he has a obscure pen-name for writing people already formed a connection between the rumors and half-truth. We have to formally introduce him to public atleast to the Aristrocats and Influencial people and we have the perfect opportunity with Samuel's birthday coming up. I don't care much about public opinion but rumors can distort which could hurt Sami's feelings. No matter how amazing he is; he is just a child. What are your thoughts? " Kenneth said.

Everyone agreed with Kenneth. They started discussing it among themselves when Margaret said--

" How about I book the Buckingham Palace from the sister. She had been complaining about visiting Samuel for quite a while. We can solve both security and be exclusive at the same time."
