“Get your hand off my mouth!” the boss screamed once he managed to yank Hayden’s hand away.
“Calm down…” Hayden said.
“You of all people don’t have the right to say that to me!” the boss continued yelling.
“Stop screaming…” Hayden muttered.
“I’m going to scream until you understand what the fuck you’ve done! Have you seen this? Have you seen this!?” the boss shouted as he shoved a piece of paper in Hayden’s face.
Hayden took the paper from his father’s hand and scanned the printed text with his eyes. He had a look of surprise on his face for a brief moment before his eyes narrowed and his face darkened evidently.
“Why would he do this…?” Hayden asked in wonder.
“Ethan is evil. He’s doing this all on purpose to screw with everyone’s head. He returned home beaten up so imagine how pissed of the Silvas are about it right now. Then this morning, he sent a fucking letter of apology straight to my office for getting into a fight with my son. Guess who the Silvas are pissed off at right now? I told you to stay away from him…” the boss complained.
“He approached me first…” Hayden stated.
“Don’t sound like a five-year-old. This isn’t about who started it first! This is gang politics!” the boss yelled back, unable to control his anger.
“Enough, I’m getting a headache…” Hayden replied with a frown.
“Fuck. I’m going to hit you on the head until you bleed to death!” the boss yelled as he drew his hand back.
“Just ignore Ethan…” Hayden muttered indifferently.
“Ignore him? how? All the gangs are watching this shit show. That bastard sent an official letter of apology,” the boss said with an incredulous look on his face.
“That’s great, isn’t it? It shows that he knows what he did was wrong,” Hayden said without a care.
“Let me put it differently so you young and stupid people will understand. How will Torex be perceived if we don’t respond in kind? I, the Head of Torex, have to send back a letter of apology as well just to make sure that our hands look clean in all this mess!” the boss explained in anger.
“Aha…” Hayden murmured.
“Are you even listening?!” his father screamed at him again.
“Yes, I’m listening and yes I understood everything that you’ve just said,” Hayden replied while anticipating his father’s next question.
“Why did you do it? It isn’t like you to react to these provocations…” the boss asked sternly.
Hayden hesitated for a moment but then decided to tell his father the truth.
“Ethan came to see Malissa a few times. When he approached me, he said some things about her that didn’t sit well with me,” Hayden said, his tone cold.
“What did he say?” the boss asked.
“…He said that Malissa belongs to Silva and that I have to hand her back. Either that or we have to form a partnership,” Hayden replied followed by a frustrated sigh.
“That doesn’t make any sense! I paid 500 million dollars back then for her ransom. If anything, I bought her and she belongs to Torex,” the boss exclaimed with clear dissatisfaction.
