"Well obviously you were about to ask about my credentials and age when it is your employer who hired me himself. Ms. Keys clearly missed the fact that I walked in the doors with Leo and had the audacity to question his authority and even call him Leo, to his face none the less. I would say, going on the 'ifs' question Leo asked earlier, that you are the one at fault for Ms. Keys. You hired an incompetent woman who embarrassed herself and the company. That would only reflect back on the man who hired her. So in my opinion, you should be fired Mr. Hayes. You are sticking your nose into something that is none of your business and above your pay grade just like Ms. Keys." I stated as I stared him down. "Judging by the fact that you have looked me over more times than I care to say, I would say that you prefer to hire young women to be working under you instead of qualified candidates. I would even bet that you coax them into sleeping with you."

When I was finished, Leo was no longer looking on with a smile but a glare at Robert. Robert was looking as if I told the world his biggest secret. His mouth was opening and closing as if he had something to say but could not. I stood up and walked to my seat with the contract opened to the page that I was on and continued to read it. I ignored the men behind me as I read. When I got to the page where it stated my pay, I stood up and marched over to Leo's desk that was now empty of Robert, leaving Leo by himself.

"Is there something wrong with the contract?" Leo asked as as he eyed the page I was on.

"I cannot be the second largest share holder under you and your dad. Especially when I am being paid a million dollars until I am done with my PhD then five million a year after that on top of commission." I said as I looked at Leo who was smiling at me.

"What is so wrong with that? I think the pay is fair for someone of your talents." Leo said as he stood up and waked me back to the seats.

I looked at him with a frown as I asked, "What about the shares?"

"To be honest, the other share holders were getting mad that no one else had remotely close to the same as me and dad so to shut them up, I thought why not hand half of ours to someone who will not abuse the power. So why not kill two birds with one stone."

"What do you mean kill two birds with one stone?"
