276: MY BLOOD BOILING

LUKE’S POV

“Aren’t we going to talk about our project?” I quizzed Leonardo. I did hear him talk about teaming up with someone else concerning his project. Not that my company was going to fall or whatever without this guy; I just didn’t want to ruin any relationships. My grandfather wouldn’t want it if he were still alive.

“What was that?” He queried.

“Personal stuff. There were just a lot of things to take care of.”

“Well, that is none of my business. So let’s quickly end this conversation. You can start leaving now. We don’t want those men coming back again.”

“So that’s your decision. You’re just going to terminate the project.”

I nodded, deciding not to say anything and just letting him have his way. It wasn’t a big deal anyway; I didn’t want to lose business partners. But fuck it, my company was still one of the greatest in New Haven. I didn’t need him anyway.
