His Eagle Eyes on Me

I

In the living room, Robert took the seat next to Elliot. "Dad, it's not that I don't want to work alongside you. I just wanted to get some experience with Hayden..." "Can't you do that with me?" Elliot asked.

Robert considered the proposition for a moment, before saying, "I want to work for Hayden first before coming to work for you... Dad, I love you and I love Mom..."

"I know that you love your mom," Elliot said, hinting that he doubted Robert's love for him. "Have you considered how I would feel when you told your brother that you want to work for him behind my back?" "I didn't tell Mom either."

"Which means you don't love us at all."

"It's not like that, Dad. I wanted to get this past Hayden first before telling you, but Hayden made me work as a mechanic... It took me a while to get the hang of it, and Hayden still won't let me work there. He insisted that I talk to you two first." Had Robert known that this would happen, he would have told his father his plans long ago.

"You just don't want to stay by our side. You want to be independent and stay away from us like your brother so we can't interfere with your life." Elliot had not expected his youngest son to leave him before coming of age.

His heart sank in sorrow as he realized that daughters were indeed better, at least Layla had not tried to leave them.

"Dad! Of course, I don't want to leave you and Mom! Even if I work for Hayden and work for Dream Maker forever, I can convince him to open a branch in Aryadelle! I won't live in Bridgedale like Hayden!" Robert said earnestly.

Elliot felt even more depressed. "So, you would rather get your brother to open a branch in Aryadelle than to work at your father's company. Is my company that horrible?"
