Things changes

The board of directors sat down with leon.James eyed leon angrily. He stood up to speak. His voice carried a deep animosity and hatred towarda leon.

" since we started this company,  i have not been comfortable with you rohas running everything,  now look! "

He switched on the flat tv mounted on a wall. The media was awash with news of roha's crime. They also tarnished roha family name with the discovery if weapons in their residential home.

He turned down the volume. " we are displeased with your management. We voted and decided to kick you out! "

Leon just looked at the screen his fa e emotionless. The board wondered what was going on in his mind.

James approached him " madam prime, well a third world country dicatator. Roha,  everbody knows,  he is always as absent as his luck. And you,  fancy cars and women! "

Leon swallowed hard. His anger was flaring. He knew it was an accusation amd he could not stand the treachery.He still kept quiet but clenched his fist.

James looked at his eyes and saw murder in them and decided not to probe him any further.

" well as you know  the board is aware of chappe's family 41 percent stake in this company and overseas. Though we have tried following the overseas share to futility,  well we hereby recognise their position in this company. "

James placed a file infront of leon.sarah had stood beside him and james was angry. " you even have your little girlfriend around you like a puppy! "

Sarah skimmed through the contents and shook her head. She saw the offer  the board was giving to leon for buying  the rohas shares and sadly felt it was the best idea possible.

Leon could not just talk. He remembered how he and his dad had worked hard to raise the company. And now it had gone public  now this!

As leon and sarah walked out. Sarah told leon of the offers but leon did not answer .he just went into the lift and requested sarah to bring his laptop and suitcase to his car.

Meanwhile benjamin had had a taste of bad luck too. He had been dismissed that day early enough. This time he did not hide away his cigar and the new management found it rude. He cursed as the guards pushed him out.

He arrived at his house,  and he did not find a happy home. His wife was crying and bags were at the door.

We are leaving. She said. She had signed a copy of her divorce paper and she left it on the table.

"don't bother looking for us! "

For once in his life,  he was shocked. He stood there. Not knowing whether  to apologise,  beg her or beat her up. Before he could run after them , he realised there was a man standing outside their home and he helped his wife out to the taxi. He wept.

He knew he had lost her.

Nothing breaks a man then lose his family and source of income.

Sarah and leon  drove off to a pub. Leon hardly realised sarah was there. He was lost in thought. He was shocked when sarah alighted from the backseat.

He looked at her and decided it was no use talking about it. They walked into the lebron pub. It was approaching dark.

Leon gobbled down drink after drink. Sarah decided to drink a bit. She saw he was becoming helpless, paid the bill and helped him into his car. She sat on the wheel. Leon just slunk in his seat and sarah felt sorry for him.

Leon woke up besides sarah in the morning" where am i,  and what happened?!" he felt his head go round.

He saw the sheets,  his clothes entangles besides the bed and furiously got up.

" where are you going? " sarah mumbled.

" what did you do? " leon angrily  asked.

" i love you? "

" you don't know what you are doing! " leon dressed up fast

" we can be together leon,  be happy! "

" i don't love you! " and leon walked away.
