Chapter 45 045
UNCLE GREG
Legs crossed.

With a serious look, I placed my hands on my chin, caressing my beards softly as I looked around the office.

The staffs kept coming and going and none could even offer me an exotic drink.

Just coffee. Like what the actual fuck is that?

“Sir, would you like something else?” A female staff walked up to me.

“Pffff…would I like something else? You really have some guts you know. Do you have an idea who I am at all?”

“Do you fucking know my name cause I sure know you are not new here or haven't you seen my face before?”

“Uhn?” I lashed out angrily.

“Sir, I'm sorry. Pardon my manners. Would you like anything?” She replied.

“All of you are really crazy in this place and you know what, its just a matter of time before you realize what you are getting yourself into….”

“Just wait till I have what is mine. You will be the very first person I would sack from this company….”

“Just look around, young lady. Your days in this place are numbered!!” 

“Get lost from my sight!” I shouted.

I wonder where Steven got these people from, they are just bunch of losers looking for peanuts.

Is this how to run a company? Employing ladies who don't even know their left from their right?

What bullshit!

I kept mumbling until another staff, a male staff this time around, walked up to me, with a grin on his face.

“And what the fuck are you smiling at?” I blurted out angrily.

“Erm…sorry Sir…would you be Mr.Greg?” He asked.

I snapped. Wait, did this lowlife just ask for my name? I looked at him slowly from head to toe as he stood with hands behind his back.

I was already boiling and I could go over the top any minute. I frowned at him.

“You all are really getting on my nerves!!! Is this some sort of strategy Steven put you all on or what?”

“Did he tell you to approach me like I am some visitor begging to be received?”

“I'm sorry but I think you are misunderstanding the whole situation right now. Mr. Steven just informed me to call you in. I mean no disrespect sir,” he apologized.

“Oh shut it already. Don't patronize me with all that,” I said and stood up in a haste.

On getting to the corridor of the office, I noticed a number of changes has been made to the place.

“Hmmm…so this is what Steven is spending my brother's money? For renovations and some shitty beauty marks?”

“Pshhhh….such rubbish…”

That same minute, I felt a tap behind me on my shoulders, “Uncle Greg, you are here…welcome, please come in…” the voice of Steven hit my ears.

My eyes widened in surprise.

No, that is the least I was expecting this very moment. Why is he so cheerful towards me all of a sudden?

Does he already know what I am here for?

I do hope it is not what I am thinking. Could those boys have boycotted my plans and told him I was coming to stylishly get his signature?

No, never. They wouldn't dare do that. That is just incriminating themselves as much as myself so they can't do that, I presume.

“Welcome to the Gold Company, Uncle,” he said once again, this time, his face looking more cheerful than the very first time.

“What the heck is making so happy? Are you mocking me or what is this all about??” 

“Easy Uncle. I am not mocking you. I'm only glad you came around not that I actually want you here but at least you came. It's been a while..”

“What can I do for you this time around?” he added.

That word just broke a fuse in my head and for that minute, I got agitated. That was the same thing his father, Ray, would say to me each time I come to his office.

Always thinking I was coming to beg for money or help with something. 

I got furious and I clenched my fist like I was to going to start a combat with him.

But Steven, just like his stupid and courageous father, didn't even blink. He kept looking at me like he had not done anything.

“You know what? I really don't blame you. You are just a chip off the old block. I am not surprised!” I said in my mind but never escaped my lips.

I couldn't afford to say anything that would agitate him. After all, the minute I get what I came here for then I can be rest assured everything become mine and mine only.

“Uncle Greg, what are you here for? Haven't you done enough damage already?” He lashed out.

“Damage? What are you talking about, son?” I answered in a sharp tone.

“Don't you dare call me son? You have never called me that and I won't permit you to do that either so please take that back this minute,” he fired at me without holding back.

“See, Steven..I know you are angry at me. Of course, I'm not so happy with myself. You know I wouldn't just act that way if there wasn't something pushing me..”

“....your father was my blood brother and I believe whatever he owns belongs to me as brothers birthed by the same mother and father or what do you think?” I said in a pitiful voice.

Steven was heart hardened. His looks were different and it was as though I wasn't even making any sense to him.

How come the young man who was just so cheerful towards some minutes ago suddenly just look so charged up and ready to attack me?

A facade, I guess?

“Uncle Greg, you and I both know you aren't here to apologize to me. I know you dislike me and you want my company so just get right to it already and stop the pretense!”

I grunted inside.

“Such stupid brat. Of course I would never stoop so low to beg you. You and your company can fuck off. I am going to take what belongs to me….even if it means getting rid of you!!” the voice in my head raged.

I chuckled on the outside….”C'mon, Steven. I'm like a father to you. You really ought to treat me with some respect. You speak like I am your equal and I am clearly not. Do you even know that I am your father's elder brother, that makes older than you and your father!” I lashed out.

“Oh, wow…so this is about who is older and who is to be respected? Uncle, please just say what you want. I have a meeting to attend in few minutes,” he replied rudely.
