Adrastos searched through the scattered mess on his desk for something of importance. He had his work cut out for him. His secretary buzzed in telling him his father was on line one. Adrastos groaned and told her to say he was busy but his father would allow it and he was forced into conversation with the man.
"What is it now father?" asked Adrastos once he was on the phone.
"I just wanted you to cancel your afternoon meeting with Mr. Tulips. It seems we will no longer be needing his assistance." said his father
"Of course father....I will do just that. Anything else you want?"
"That is all son, and your mother says hello. We have a meeting with the press this morning so don't bother calling. I will see you at home son."
"Don't worry father I never planned to call, and yes see you at home."
Adrastos hung up the phone snickered a bit to himself. What did his father think he was an idiot? Obviously his father still didn't know about him.
Adrastos pressed the button to speak with his secretary again.
"Yes Adrastos?" said the woman.
"Yes can you please move up the meeting with Mr. Tulips to this morning. I would like to get the meeting out of the way."
"Of course sir, it is done." the woman replied and hung up the phone.
Adrastos never listened to his father, such an idiotic man he was.
