Richard's Pov
I can't seem to get him off my head,his ocean blue eyes,a perfectly chiseled jaw and his well defined body kept flashing before my eyes,'why did even hire him?' I thought to myself.
He was my first ever since I divorced my wife,the only woman I have ever loved.I don't know what this is but my children must not find out about it.
I have to go speak to him again, just to make sure we're on the same page or maybe I just wanted to see him again.
I insisted on driving myself to prevent the driver's from knowing where I went,but on getting to the club ,I saw the most disturbing scene.It was Bob on my son's lap.
"Hey dadddyyy"the bartender greeted from afar drifting Bob and Williams' attention to me.
I turned to leave but William ran after me"Dad!,sir,Dad!"
I tried my best to ignore him but he grabbed my hands as I was about to get into my car
"Dad it's not what you think" he tried to explain.
"It's not what I think?,so I didn't just see a man,not just any man,but Bob on your lap?"
" We were just joking around dad,I came here to congratulate him"
For a lawyer, William was sure not good with lies
" For goodness sake , just stop with the lying William,his tongue was almost down your throat,....but I only have one question for you though,what about your wife?"
"Ohh ,and you're the one to judge?,I can't help but ask what the hell you're doing in a gay club?" He asked with a menacing look.
At this point I lost all strength to argue,he was right though, I better get out of here before things got worst.I quickly got into my car and drove back home .
****
It's Monday,I successfully avoided William all through the weekend.I suppose we'll be too busy at work to exchange words or discuss what happened on Friday.
I do hope that the son of bitch those not sure up,for all I care ,he's fired .
"Good morning sir " Bob greeted from behind almost immediately,...the universe was sure playing a fast one on me .
"What are you doing here ,you son of a bitch" I was fuming with anger at this point, almost ready to throw hands.
"Sir_I need this job, whatever you saw happening was a mistake I'm_sorry sir" he begged tears almost leaving his eyes
"I don't care about whatever you think I saw,all I know is that I don't want a raging homosexual within the four walls of my building,now leave or call the security" I turned my back on him and headed to my office,I could hear him pleading from a distance coupled with the glaring eyes of the firm's lawyers,but I couldn't care less,that bastard must not work here .
*****
I was deep into the work of the day when my office door was pushed open,wide ajar.
"What the hell is this Dad,what do you think you're doing? " William stormed into my office yelling,Bob walking behind him.
'not this again, not this son of a bitch ' I muttered underneath my breath.
"Can you at least shut the door William" I might be vexed but I can risk the news carrying this scandal as its first headline.I have tried avoiding appearing on the news after the messy divorce with my wife.
"Now that that's settled,can you please tell me why you barged into my office with such
tone" I asked, trying to be the bigger person.
"Are you seriously going to play this game with me now Dad?,.....why the hell did you send Bob out after you hired him"
"You brat, have you forgotten who you're talking to, I'm the Managing Partner of this firm,I have the right to fire who any employee of my choice"
"I'm also a partner with equal rights, and I say Bob stays or we can put this up for a vote with other partners and you can explain why you fired him" he thundered as he dragged Bob along with him as he left .
William has always been a pain in the ass,he was nothing like his siblings,but he was smart. With him the firm has been on a winning streak for years,so I can't afford to lose him to another firm.
"Sir, Mr Williams has called for an emergency partners meeting,the partners are calling for you" Miss Palmer,my secretary, came to inform me.
"And what is this about?" I asked,I didn't believe William would actually go ahead with his threat.
"Something about the security not letting the new lawyer into his office on your orders " she explained .
"Alright, I'm on my way, thank you "
I hurriedly made my way to the board room, William was already raging in a head on argument with the security personnels .
I hope this boy does slip and let out what was going on.
"William!Can I speak with you for a minute?"I tried to call his attention.
"I'm not having a discussion with you unless you tell this motherfuckers to stand down" He thundered.
"You can return to your duty posts"
"What do you think you're doing William?,what the hell has gotten into you?, you know pretty well that this would affect you as much as it does me, have you taken a minute to think about what this would do to your wife?,your children?"
" I couldn't care less Dad,you won't fire Bob because of your jealousy,it's not right dad,Bob stays as far as I'm concerned " he responded, clearly unbothered about the issues I had raised .
"So this is about right or wrong?,well it's fine,can you call off this meeting?,your boy toy can stay" I can't afford to get mixed up in a gay scandal,not now.
*******
"Excuse me sir" Bob said as he let himself into my office.
"You brat!"
"Sir, just hear me out,I have something to tell you,it's about William ".
