88. The Fathers

Alex was surprised when Robert told him again that he would withdraw investment from his company. He grinned, between wanting to laugh and resigned. He was happy because William managed to get Paula again. At least, his son did not fail in household matters.

"So you must have known about it?" asked Alex with a suspicious look, staring at his laptop screen with a hard face. "Paula told me and asked you to threaten me?"

"Fuck! Paula and William don't even want me to meddle in your family matters!" argued Robert, sneering at his friend.

"Then, why do you suddenly want to break off our cooperation?" Alex asked again while wiping his tired face. He had too much to handle after firing William. "What is the reason?"

"Of course. I'm angry because you belittled my daughter," Robert replied with a face that was no less friendly. His eyes stared intently at his friend. "You think my daughter is worthless than a job."
