《Thurs. June. 9, 2016》
My father's stern face was looking back at me with frustration.
"Marcello, son, you're already 30, and are not getting any younger; you realize that right?"
I'm getting sick of this subject, "Wow Dad, thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot that I grow up."
"I'm serious Marcel, I think it's time you put away this playboy reputation, and settle down. If not for you, then for the company. Many of our investors complain to me about you rude and haughty behavior. It's driving them away."
I fumed over his words, "Wow Dad, you just reached a new level of this. Even my marriage depends on the company," I chuckled bitterly, "You do know that love can't be found whenever you want, right?"
"Marcello, I know this very well, but you're going to wait around for love to come? That's going to take a while. As I told you many people don't trust us and your attitude doesn't make it any better."
"Well who ever has a problem with me can come kiss my ass."
My father sighed and rolled his eyes, "This is exactly what's bringing down the company, I spent my whole life for it, so please this one thing, you don't have to get married just-"
I stopped his sentence and spoke to him calmly, "Right the company. I'll try to work something out pa, don't worry nothing will happen to your company." After this, I rushed out of the house and headed to company with a heavy heart.
As much as it hurts, I guess I'm used to it by now, always coming second to his company. It has only been two years since I took over it, and it's already bringing me hell more than heaven. Sometimes, I wish things were different but they're not. My father and I will always have this much of a strained relationship, and we will always argue.
I sighed as I let more of these saddening thoughts roam freely around my mind.
