"I doubt that young man." The man spoke in an unyielding voice looking at Leo.
"Yes right dad!!" Leo sighed and then leaned back again in a sulking mood.
Ezra who was gaping at the boy already suddenly frowned and then looked at the two of them in confusion. "Huh? Dad?"
"Yes he is my dad. I did not want to react this way, but whenever I see him my antagonism rises. I had thought that I will just treat him as a client but I could not help it." Leo frowned looking at the man and then turned to look at Ezra.
Ezra was stunned and then looked at the middle aged man in astonishment. It was then that she realised that they both had analogous brown hair and dark eyes. Except for their skin colour, they looked pretty much alike. Their square sharp jaws, long and muscular bodies' structure, everything matched a lot.
"Yes he is my son. And my only mistake was that I fell in love with some other woman, when he was ten years old." The man sighed looking at Leo and then nodded his head in dissatisfaction.
Ezra frowned looking at the two sulking men. Her most imperative meeting of the entire career had turned out to be some emotional drama between a father and a son. "Huh? Umm... ok."
"No. It is not ok. Giving us financial support is not enough. You have betrayed me and my mother." The boy spoke in a harsh tone. "Now you want me to handle your company? Why would I even do that?"
Ezra was now simply leaning against the chair looking at the two men giving each other fuming stares. She had closed her file, as she knew it looked like a never ending brawl between the two.
"Is it a crime to fall in love? Did I not support you in everything? And why don't you join your company rather than being somebody's secretary. Look at your brainpower and your calibre. You are just like you grandfather. How can you even let it go waste?" The man spoke up in much torment.
"Waste? I am not letting anything go waste. I am also the head of the research department and I think it suits my calibre. They are even buying my hacking system." The man spoke up in much resentment and defence.
"Wow! A boy worth trillions of dollars will work under some other company and is contented with a few millions by selling his most precious hacking system. Are you out of your mind?" the middle aged man slammed his hand on the table.
Ezra sighed and then quickly sipped a glass of water placed in front of her. Now she even feared that not only will she loose the investor but she will also loose Leo. It looked like his father would convince him to step out of the company and join his family company.
"I am not out of my mind. It is my decision and who are you to interfere? Don't forget you are dead for me!" the boy too banged his hand on the table and looked angrily in his father's eyes.
Ezra gaped at the boy in astonishment. "But Leo, he is your father. You cannot say that about him."
"Ha-ha. Trust me boss you don't even know him. He is just being polite because he wants me to join the company from past few years." The man smirked in abhorrence.
"I am dead for you? I wonder how you even have guts to go on telling people that you father is dead. And what is wrong in having wanting my son to join my company." The man shouted back catching everybody's attention. Ezra sighed as she had just wanted to solve the problem but in return she only made the two men angrier. She now prepared to stay quiet and just wait for it to get over and hopefully they will be in a mood to talk about the actual topic.
"Of course you are. Do you think a dad's responsibility is just to throw a million dollars every month on my face and that is it? Did you ever see how other things are also required besides money?" the man spoke in a miserable tone.
"I and Ana were no longer in love. It was impossible for us to live together." The man spoke taking a deep breath. It was a never ending topic for both of them.
"'Hah! Mom always loved you. You cheated on her for five years, before she caught you red handed in a club, making out with your current wife. And why do you want me to run your company why don't you give the company to your other son, Jonathan." The man chuckled thinking about Jonathan and how much he hated him.
"It is your company two. You both can handle it together." The man spoke in a courteous tone trying to make the boy understand.
"No way! I hate that bastard!" Leo spoke n a hushed and angry tonne.
Ezra once again gasped in shock hearing the word bastard from his mouth.
"Mind your language boy. Don't forget you are talking to your father and he is your brother." The man spoke in a harsh and angry tone once again making everybody to turn and look at the three of them.
Ezra once again picked up the glass of water and sipped it nervously, thinking about her deal.
"Listen dad. It is not possible. And you can just be your normal self with boss. Don't act nice because I am in this company. Why don't you behave like your usual crude and harsh self?" The boy frowned in anger.
"If you think handling a business empire is being crude that so be it. And yes I am signing this contract as I love the offer, the company and its progress. It has nothing to do with you. Also for your knowledge I have turned into vegetarian from past two years. You never really thought of knowing the truth son and you never even bothered to know your father." The man quickly took out pen and signed on the doc.u.ments taking them out from the girl's file.
