Chapter 4 Tomorrow Morning
- Aurelio felt like his parents don’t want to give him what he wants. He stared at his father with a blank expression and stood in akimbo, placing his hands on his waist then he let his head low shaking it slowly. “Are you both having a pity on me or what?” he asked no one in particular and got no response from them.
- They only looked at him with a blank look too and his Grandpa Mr Maynard looked away after scoffing.
- “Dad!!! Talk to grandpa.. probably he is seeing it as a joke, but I am being serious here..I get stomped on everyday because of the both of you, Dad please talk to Grandpa, I know you’ll take orders from him” Aurelio pleaded with his hands together and with a pleading face.
- “Aurelio, I gave you a position in the company..it suits you so well, like a gentleman” his dad replied
- “Aurelio? A gentleman?!” his grandpa laughed
- “ Don’t take it too personal Aurelio.. your dad doesn’t know you ain’t a gentleman, but I as your grandpa know you aren’t one” His grandpa walked to him tapping his shoulders and Aurelio tried his best not to laugh. He knew his grandpa was right.. he isn’t one.
- “Aurelio is my son Dad, I know him more than you do, and besides I was right Aurelio or wasn’t I? The company position suits you so why would you want to go into what your grandpa is .. you should be a cool gentleman and a CEO that will seat in his office and Mansion while millions and billions swims into your bank account” his dad said
- “Not to be mob boss like your grandpa, I am more focused on the doings of the company son and it’s cool” his Dad explained
- “I find what grandpa does more fun, I love it..and dad I am not a gentleman, I want to handle guns and give orders, take revenge and—” his dad cut him short while his grandpa sat back and placed his legs on the table laughing out.
- “What are you even saying, your grandpa is a Mob boss and you want to be a Mobster? Looks like you don’t know who a Mafia is” his dad slapped his forehead laughing.
- “Why wouldn’t I know, why would I want to be something I don’t know, a Mob boss typically has absolute or nearly absolute control over the other members of the organization, our organization, and is often greatly feared or respected for their cunning, strategy, or ruthlessness and willingness to take lives to exert their influence and profits from the criminal endeavors we the organization engages in.. easy isn’t it?” he explained
- “You said it right Grandson” his grandpa replied
- “Dad!!!” Mr Bertram exclaimed aloud
- “Dad!! What is it? Don’t you partake of the activities done here too?” Aurelio asked his father
- “Off course yes, I’m of age to handle the organization but I don’t want to.. Being a Mob boss is stressful..it is illegal.. yeah the activities at times are illegal so I do not get involved so much” his Dad exclaimed
- “And I love it that way” Aurelio smirked and turned to his grandpa, he walked to him and knelt before him hugging his legs
- “Grandpa please say something, it’s in your hands and you know it so well, I want to be like you, I don’t want the company..not like I don’t you see, I..God..I’m just confused” Aurelio said and then his grandpa spoke up.
- “I understand you son, it’s not because your father love his Job occupation that you should too as his son, everyone has their own dreams” his grandpa explain and Mr Bertram laughed out
- “Dad are you seriously saying this now? “ Mr Bertram asked in disbelief
- “I am still talking to my grandson Bertram so keep it closed! “ Mr Maynard exclaimed raising his finger in the air and then Mr Bertram rolled his eyes and stood in akimbo.
- “As I was saying, I can see your passion Aurelio, I know you want to… but do you think you can handle it? “ his grandpa asked him
- “What is there again, off course yes I want to” Aurelio replied with determination clearly seen on his face and then his grandpa rested his back on his seat.
- “Rise up son, this is not something we will just say, I need to discuss something with your father” he replied as Aurelio stood up
- “okay no probs Grandpa, and please dad be cool, dint talk about the company” he said to his dad
- “You need to know something Aurelio…” His grandfather said to him
- Aurelio pauses and looked back at him, “what is it grandpa?” he replied and saw his grandpa give his father a type of eyes more like signaling his father to do something..
- “you know where you are coming from isn’t it?” His dad asked
- “ Yeah I do…” he replied and then his grandpa spoke up
- “you should seat down Aurelio..” he said to him as he did.
- Everyone of them took their seat and then Mr Maynard sat up straight.
- “Well you two are actually sounding weird, what do you mean by that question father?” Aurelio asked his Dad.
- “Don’t be scared son, you’ll know what you need to know” his dad replied
- “And what is it?” Aurelio replied curiously
- “You are the first son of this family, and not just that.. the only son of this family, a true heir of the company” his dad said and he rolled his eyes
- “And at the same time the true heir of this organization” his grandpa replied and he saw his father nod
- Aurelio had a bright smile on his face immediately, “like seriously?? Are you saying I can run the company and at the same time the organization?” he asked and saw his parents nod their heads
- “Wow!!” he exclaimed happily
- “but!” his grandpa cleared his throat. Aurelio face dropped immediately, what could his grandpa be thinking, what is he about to say now!?
- “but what grandpa?” Aurelio asked lowly and saw his grandpa look at his father.
- “I will still discuss it with your father then back with you, so rest your mind..you are entitled to both. You are taking over as the heir but still I will talk to my son” his grandpa replied
- “My father” Aurelio chuckled and then he stood up
- “in that case, I’d be hoping to hear from you both..when?” he smiled at thrm
- “First thing tomorrow morning.. you will hear what you need to from him” His grandpa replied
