Chapter 147 147 We Will Follow You, Boss (1/2)
Thompson starts to cry a lot harder. ”I-I thought *hic* that I would lose my job over this but you guys are helping me out so much.” He took a tissue from the box beside himself and blow his nose.
There was a knock at the door. Leo got up and opened the door blocking so that the individual at the door could see in the room. ”Can I help you, Valdis?”
”Yes, Greg and Micheal haven't checked in with me so I came to report the matter to the Elder.” Valdis tried peeking around Leo but Leo blocked his line of sight each time.
”Your message has been conveyed you may leave now.” Leo made his voice deeper with a hint of higher command.
”Leo, you are not the head of the association yet and you can not block me from coming to see the Elder!” Valdis raised his voice and started yelling at Leo.
”ENOUGH!!!!” Asurlon walked to the door and peered at Valdis. ”Valdis you have no right trying to barge into Leo's office and say such things to him. As of this moment forth Leo is the head of the association and all calls are now under his command.”
Will and Brielle came around the corner. Will ran to the door, ”is it true that you are now the head of the association, Leo? That is wonderful news. Congratulations!”
Brielle bowed to the Elder, ”we are here because you requested us. Congratulations Leo. Katherine must be very proud of you. I would like to see your darling fiance again. She was such a sweetheart and I would love to take the opportunity to connect with her again. Although I do understand that you do not want her to get worn out with the baby on the way.” She could feel Valdis's eyes on her so she turned her head and stared at him.
”Elder, you have got to be kidding me? This kid is going to be the head of the association. I thought that it would be someone that is older and wiser.” Valdis watches the Elder and thinks. 'Someone more like myself.'
”Leo is plenty wise enough and now that he has a baby on the way this is the perfect time to pull him away from the front lines. His fiance will be able to rest at ease knowing that he will not be out hunting the intended targets. I think I am making the right choice as I always intended for Leo to take over for me. I have nurtured his raw talent and now he is ready for the responsibilities. So I dare you to say that he is not ready, again. Valdis, you are dismissed for the day.” Asurlon glared at Valdis.
”Yesssss, Elder. I will take my leave now then and go back to my office.” Valdis turned and stormed back to his office.
