"What?" he asked in a strained voice. Why would Nathan want him out of the office when they were to serve the company in different capacities?

"Do you know who I am?" Nathan asked. "I'm the one saving your company Gabriel, and for that, I deserve some respect," Nathan added, looking from one pillar of the washroom building to another.
