"Ok, Michael let's go back to 3 years ago when you were just opening your new office 'Taylor Enterprises'? The news had shared a story, and the main topic was your family. That your family had stolen the money needed for that company from a local bank through credit fundings. Why don't you share what happened? " I asked.

"Well, my father recently passed. Leaving all his riches to my son Brett Taylor. Since he is gonna be in charge of Taylor's family co. He put all his money into it. The bank had gotten mad because if my son wouldn't have claimed it, they were gonna use it for an upgrade on the office." Michael answered. I leaned forward.

"So you aren't planning on running Taylor Enterprises on your own?" I asked. He shakes his head.

"My son started that company on his own and finished all the same. Who am I to take it from him when he worked so hard." I nodded.

"But Taylor Enterprises is making all the press lately and it is taking business away from your business Acme Corporation. I mean are you and your son going to be teaming up in businesses?" He lets out a dry laugh.

"I wouldn't say that it's taking all the business. Taylor Enterprises is a new company. Acme Corporation has over a billion contracts." I nodded.

"But Taylor Enterprises hasn't even been open a full month and has made half of that. Aren't you worried that you will be outrun by your own son?" He shrugs.

"My son and I aren't in a competition." I nodded slowly.

"Michael, would you mind if we bring your son in for an interview as well?" Creek asked. I looked at him.

"No problem," Michael said. I turned the camera off as Michael got up. I turned to Creek. Creek smiles.

"Great job on the questions." I fold my arms.

"I said I don't want him in the film," I said. Brett sat down on the chair in front of the camera. Creek nods.

"Cupcake, he's the guy's son and this story has everything to do with him. Whether you want him in it or not he's got to be. Unless you want to change the angle of the story plot?" Creek asked. I looked at a now smirking Brett. I roll my eyes and turn to Brett.

"Fine."

"Let's get this started." He said. Creek turned the camera back on.

"My name is Creek and this is my friend Melody. We are the voices behind the camera. Your name is Brett Taylor correct?" Creek started.

"Yes," Brett answered.

"And is Michael Taylor your father?" Creek asked.

"Yes. Our last names are the same." Brett said.

"Ok, and the new company put up by your family is yours now right?" Creek asked. Brett sat straight.

"No." I folded my arms.

"No?" Brett nodded.

"It's my company but not until I turn 20." Brett answered.

"And when will that be?" Creek asked.

"In 3 months," Brett answered.

"So you're telling me the company belongs to your dad until then?"

"Yes," Brett says.

"What happens if your dad decided to determinate your contract? Would the company remain in his name?" I asked. Brett nodded.

"In theory, yes."

"But you trust that he won't betray you?" I asked. He nods.

"I do. I mean after all he is my father." I nodded slowly.

"But he is also your biggest competitor in companies. Acme Corporation and Taylor Enterprises are the top two largest businesses in New York. I mean it doesn't worry you a bit that you are trusting your life's work in the hands of your enemy?" He lets out a scuff.

"He's my father. My flesh and blood. Why would it?" I shrug.

"Well people say that money is the root of all evil. With that kind of power and money it can make a man go mad." He nods.

"Truer words have never been spoken. However people also say that your enemy can become your most powerful ally." His phone started ringing. Creek turned the camera off as Brett answered it. I look at Creek who smiles.

"You are something else." I smirked as I looked back at Brett.

"I do try."

"That's probably the office. He did need to go in for a few today." Michael said. I nodded. "You know Melody, you should go with him and film it. Be better for your documentary." Michael said. I look at him.

"But we're not finished with you," I said.

"I'll finish up with him and you follow Brett," Creek said. I looked at Brett who seemed excited.

"Fine."
