Perhaps, it would be less about the future of the company but more about our future together if he even through that we still had a chance of being together.
“I’m not running away. I’m just doing things my way and I ask that you stick to your promise and respect that,” Ace stated calmly.
“Why didn’t you consult me about this before? Why did you have to get up there and announce it at a large event like this? Do you know how much money I put in to put this event together? This whole party was supposed to celebrate your success so far as the CEO and look what you’ve done!” the chairman thundered as his eyes glared at his own son.
Ace did not show any hint of regret or remorse regarding his action and that was probably because he simply did not regret it. I had no idea why Ace thought that his action was the right one.
What made him so confident or was he just going to run away from his responsibilities again just as his father had just accused him of?
“I didn’t think that there was a need to, given our previous agreement. Plus, if I had consulted you, you would have just disagreed with me. It would have just complicated things without leading to any progress, so naturally, I decided against consulting with you first,” Ace explained logically.
“You…how dare you ruin everything that I’ve tried to build? Get out there and apologize for your foolish decision and take your words back right now!” the chairman yelled as he pointed his index finger towards the door.
Ace didn’t move from where he was standing. His father looked like he was ready to murder his own son when he saw Ace’s apparent refusal to comply with his command. Things were really getting out of hand, and I wondered what I should do to stop this argument between father and son before it got worse than this.
“Don’t worry. I’m not planning to quit right away. I’ll make sure that the company wins the Ashford competition first and that things are pretty much settled,” Ace replied levelly.
“You’re not quitting! I won’t allow you to do something so crazy again and that is final!” the chairman yelled.
“Father, I want you to stick to your promise and start believing that I’m really doing what is best for the company,” he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
“You’re fickle. Your dreams are unrealistic. Whatever talent you have is wasted on you!” the chairman spat.
Ace had a cold and emotionless mask on his face that did not betray any emotions at all. His father’s words were harsh, but it seemed like it wasn’t Ace’s first time hearing those words or something similar. Despite how great I thought Ace was, it was clear that his father did not share my point of view at all.
“Don’t you have anything to say for yourself, Ace?” his father asked when Ace continued to stand there completely in silence.
