In a party downtown...

"I told you I won't meet you anymore! You aren't my father! For me, you have died many years ago!"

A blond man is quarreling with a platinum blond man.

John sighs.

Kids nowadays seem to hope their parents drop dead when they have grown up. So they would have no more burden.

That blond guy is very famous. A young and rich billionaire, Delborough Robinson. That older guy must be his old man, Smith Robinson.

Their quarrel seems rooted from a deep emotional scar. Delborough looks like he is going to kill his Dad. If it's possible.

"Listen, son. I just want to ask forgiveness. That's all..."

"No need. I will never forgive. You are already dead and forgotten."

The father's shoulder slumps. He leaves the spot without turning back again.

John sips his wine.

Not his problem. Kids argue with their parents all the times.

Time to find his wife, Marianne and enjoys this party.

*****

Monday morning in his office.

John is surprised to find Delborough Robinson in his office.

He asks, "You aren't scheduled, Sir. I'm supposed to meet Mr. Prince?"

Del smiles without any humor. He says, "My brother, Sirius arranged this meeting for me. I said not necessarily. But he insisted. They always mock me as prince charming when we were younger."

John asks, "What's the problem, Mate?"

"None. My brother is being paranoid as usual."

John asks, "Anything to do with your father?"

Del's eyes widened as if John was a mind reader.

John asks, "Well?"

"He's a large part of my problem. One annoying girl is the other part of my problem."

John plays a soothing melodious music in the background. He started to play music after he calmed down the Hulk with music.

He asks, "Why don't you started from the beginning? The roots of your problem with your father?"

Del nods.

He explains, "Young and foolish me. Fell in love with a classmate. I took her home and introduce her to my parents. Like  any stupid boy in love. I wanna marry her. Father said I were too young..."
