"I saw one of your thugs in the neighborhood and I don't know what you are up to but I want you to..."
"Oh! Mr. Pablo," Miguel chuckled with a great big smile. "I don't hire thugs."
"Okay," Pablo said angrily. "Let me rephrase that." He cleared his voice. "Why did you send one of the bodyguards in the neighborhood? Isn't it enough that you have already taken some of their land?"
Miguel was just standing there looking pretty and confident and he didn't even know how to answer the man who was clearly getting on his nerves. It was clear the man had brought trouble to his office and he didn't really appreciate it.
"What do you want from my family?" The man yelled in Miguel's face.
To say Miguel was surprised would definitely be an understatement. There was just a lot that he couldn't understand. The man was clearly a troublesome old man. But Miguel didn't want to embarrass him. After all, he was Christian's uncle.
"Would you like to sit down?" Miguel asked nicely, rubbing on his chin.
"Oh please!" The man rolled his eyes, pointing angrily at Miguel. "Stop playing nice with me because you can't fool me. I know what you are, La don."
"Ha ha..." Miguel laughed, shaking his head in mock. "Now I see where your son gets his mistrustful nature." He leaned on his desk, not losing the smile on his face. "He is just the same as you. Honestly, I have nothing against you so whatever you came here to do... you are probably mistaken and I will appreciate it if you could leave my office right now."
"I am not leaving this until I..."
"Look!" The man yelled, surprising Miguel even more. "Leave my son alone. I have worked hard for what I have today, including my son. Nothing has ever been handed over to me."
"That's surprising." Miguel raised his eyebrows. "Do you think I was handed over what I have?" he chuckled, dropping his hands to his hips. "I had worked my butt for everything. Just leave here... Mr. Palmer because I have nothing to say to you. Your son is a grown man and he can choose whatever he wants for himself. I don't even know what you are gonna get by coming here."
"A lot." Pablo didn't like his nephew dating Miguel at all. "I read about Felix's statement and though he recanted it, I am pretty sure you destroyed the man's life."
Miguel didn't know what to say or how the man knew about Felix and his relationship but he didn't care at all. All that he knew was that he didn't like the man and he was getting on his very last nerve.
"You are being imaginative." Miguel gave his seductive smile.
"I wish I was more imaginative." He laughed in mock. "I never could have imagined that my son would fall for someone like you." Then he his face got serious. "But even the devil masquerades as an angel to confuse innocent souls."
Hearing the man's confident words, Miguel stopped and looked at him with a serious face. He couldn't believe he was hearing that but he knew how to handle such men.
"If only you knew..." he smirked. "...your son is anything but an innocent soul."
Pablo got really mad that his face suddenly turned red from all the anger and rage he felt. His breaths were getting harsh and he clenched his fists.
"Leave Christian alone!" He thundered, giving Miguel an angry face. "Although he is a grown man, am still his uncle. I had raised that boy and I am like his father. I will not allow you to manipulate him. He is not alone."
"You are right." Miguel walked to the man. "He isn't alone because he has me." He pointed at himself, angering the man even more.
"Stop manipulating my son before you try to separate us." He warned. "I know how you are and I also know what you can do. You only know how to destroy relationships instead of maintaining them. I know you are only using my son to get the remaining land in the neighborhood."
Miguel chuckled, shaking his head. "I think you are the one that will be pushing your son away." He said with seriousness in his voice. "By coming here it looks like you are declaring war against me. Do you think your son is gonna appreciate that if he finds out."
"I don't care what you say." Pablo argued. "I am just protecting him from the likes of you."
"You mean someone that he loves and loves him back and..."
"I don't care what you say you feel for him." He panted. Noise was all over the office. "But if it is war that you want then I am more than ready to give it to you." He laughed sinisterly. "If protecting my family will mean destroying you, I am more than ready to do it."
"Destroy me?" Miguel laughed in mock, chirping softly.
He couldn't believe he was actually hearing that from an old man that looked constipated. But he was gonna love him to try. Had it been someone else then it would have been a different story because didn't appreciate such behavior from anyone.
"Why is it so hard to leave my family alone?" Pablo was getting dramatic. He was shouting so much that he was starting to sweat. "Leave us alone in peace." He stamped his foot on the floor, making a lot of noise. "Leave my son the fuck alone."
Okay, Miguel could see that the man was trying to get violent. He lost the smile and got serious.
"It's best if you calm down or I am gonna have to call security."
"I don't fucking care." He yelled, breathing like he was in a race. "You can call whomever you want but before that." He got closer to Miguel. "I want you to tell me what your thugs wanted in the neighborhood. Are you trying to kill someone?"
"I didn't send anyone in your neighborhood or whatever you call that place." Miguel snapped. "I don't have any control over what my employees do. My building is near the neighborhood so my employees are free to go anywhere they want. Besides, who are you to question what I do, uh? You came into my office and I tolerated it but I think you are overstepping your boundaries so I would like you to leave right now."
"What?" Pablo felt so angry that his entire body shook. His heart started pounding in his chest. His breaths became violent and he just lost control. He felt like beating the young boy in that room to a pulp. "Are you insulting me?"
"You can call it whatever you want." He said simply. "I don't care anymore. Now get out here before I call security to throw you out. Whatever relationship I have with your son is none of your business. I suggest you go to your house and talk to your son about this."
"What?" Pablo couldn't believe it.
