The Abandoned Billionaire Son

Chapter 6

Kenneth opened the door. Saw two suited man inside, standing. One visibly taller than the other. They could've been in the same height, if it wasn't because of the aging process. Kenneth didn't know why would the older men wanted to see him at this timing, which is a doubtful timing.

Both of the men stopped offering words to each other and turned to look at Kenneth when he pushed the door wide open.

"Dad, you're here," Kenneth remarked, trying to keep his innocent tone on point. His eyes met Harry's, which almost made him let go of his pleasant attitude as Harry's eyes were darting at him, as if Kenneth screwed with his woman. "You guys wanted to see me?" He decided to play it pleasantly, like what Albert would prefer.

"Yes. Harry and I was just wondering if you would go to an event in Las Vegas." Daddy started.

The images just popped into his mind when he heard the name. Las Vegas. The cringing sound of chips in casinos, the champagnes popping in parties, the eye contacts in clubs, the ladies surrounding him, it was like a paradise to him. The minute of imagining it, excited him. He didn't have any negative retorts upon this offer just yet.

"What event, exactly?" Despite the excitement, he kept his voice low to make the elder men think he was straight, no other thoughts.

"An auction to divide the share of an upcoming project." Albert stated.

"What do you want me to do?" he acted. This was how Kenneth sounded like whenever he was demanded to attend an appearance.

"Get the highest share, should be a piece of cake." Albert exclaimed.

"Why can't just one of you go, or Guy, he'd love to,"

"You know, Kenneth you should be thankful that I always give you the easy jobs, why can't you just accept it without any complaints. Besides, you're also an heir of this company?"

Kenneth rolled his eyes. "Since you're not giving me a choice, then what is the point of asking me if I wanted to go? "

"Enough, Kenneth," Harrison finally opened his mouth since Kenneth came in. "This is our firm, it is our responsibility to keep the business running. And those Lambs, those Romanee-Contis, they don't just fell from the sky, Kenny, " Harrison's hands were full of gestures while he was talking. He had always had that kind of habit, but Kenneth, of course found it irritating.

"Give me a time," Kenneth decided to put an end to this argument not because he complied with his brother's words, impossible, he thought it was time to stop his act
and get to the real deal.

"Tonight ,"

"You just can't inform me earlier, can you? "

"Your flight is in two hours, and you're coming back first thing tomorrow morning, " the elder man didn't bother to answer his question.

Kenneth rolled his eyes for the third time in this conversation. How do they expect me to have fun in such a short time, oh wait, they don't.

"I'll email the details to you right after," this was from the father.

"Just email it to Jess, she'll be coming with me, "

"I forgot to tell you that Jess and Guy aren't following you this time, I have some other responsibilities for them than watching after you , so you better read the details by yourself " Albert remarked.

"I'm your son, what responsibility is more important than me? " Kenneth questioned.

"Don't be so immature, Kenny. You are one of the heirs of TAL, and look how indiscipline you are," Albert argued.

Kenneth felt annoyed by his father's complaint and comparison to the Timms siblings and Harrison . The heirs of TAL, no one ever sees him as one, everyone see him as the bad example, the failure amid his father's success , he was always the shadow of his brother, the golden boy. He hated him, he hated everyone who compared him to Harrison, say how a million-dollar maker he was, but how a million-dollar spender Kenneth was. Guy and Jess were the only person who Kenneth plead in his circle of people .

"An heir?" he chortled. "You never see me as an heir,"

"That's just bullshit, Kenny. Stop acting so futile, go pack your things for the flight, " Harrison gave Kenneth a hard push.

Kenneth darted his eyes at his brother. He darted back, just like always. Kenneth broke the eye contact, walked out the room, but before he slammed the door behind him, "Don't mess this up, Kenny,".

Nicole's Note
Imagine Mr. Stark aka Robert Downey Jr is the father for Kenny. Isn't it awesome!
I chose Robert as the cast for Albert Hamilton because Robert just has the appearance of a wealthy and decisive business man as we all are used to, thanks to Iron Man.
