Chapter 34 - I... I...

Laheeb went into the building directly to the main office.

"Boss! A Customer called he wants to..."

A young female employee saw Laheeb coming and wanted to report a new order. However, she had to stop because Laheb ignored her with a cold face and continued walking.

Looking at Laheeb's expression she didn't dare to follow, and went back to her office, ready to gossip with her co-workers.

Laheeb reached a door with a big 'President' sign hanging on it, then knocked twice.

"Come in!"

A manly voice came from within the room, giving him permission.

Opening the door, you would see a fancy 5m2 office, with leather couches, file drawers on the walls, a big window overlooking the company, and a big office desk.

Behind the Table sat a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a black suit, with his gray hair slicked to the back like a certain mafia boss. He was sitting on a wheeled leather chair, leaning back with his feet on the desk while reading a report in his hand without looking at the door.

Laheeb went inside the office, not forgetting to close the door beside him, and stood up before the desk, and stayed silent without uttering a single word.

After 10 seconds of silence, the man looked up puzzlingly, what is the situation? Shouldn't you report to the boss when you go in?

Then he saw his Son Laheeb, standing there with a cold face.

"What happened to you? Why the cold face?"

The man asked his son with confusion. His son has a sunny personality and he doesn't look like that unless he is angry.

"He did it again."

Laheeb Said coldly.

"Who did what?"

The man asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sam!"

This time Laheeb uttered the name with clenched teeth.

The man looked surprised for a second, then he sighed helplessly and asked,

"What did he do this time?"

Laheeb shook his head and said,

"I want my uncle to hear, so he doesn't think that I'm targeting his son!"

The man nodded and pressed the fast dial on the office phone.

"Big brother! What's the matter?"

A voice came from the phone.

"Come to my office, let's see what your son did this time."

The man went silent for a couple of seconds, then replied.

"I will be there in a minute."

The call ended and in less than a minute the office door was opened without knocking.

A tall man in casual clothing and a helpless expression came in through the door.

"What did he do this time?"

He asked with a sigh.

Laheeb's father told him to sit down, then looked at his son and gestured with his hand for him to speak.

Laheeb, seeing his uncle and father looking at him, told them what happened with the fuel truck.

The more they listen, the angrier they become.

*bam*

Laheeb's uncle hit the table angrily and shouted.

"Is his brain flooded with shit!?"

Laheeb didn't say anything, he grabbed his phone and called someone,

"Bring them to the boss's office."

Noticing his father gaze, he said,

"They will bring the worker responsible for the fuel truck."

His father nodded at him then looked at his brother, and told with a sigh,

"I will leave this matter for you to decide."

Laheeb's uncle leaned back at the couch then closed his eyes and started thinking.

Three minutes of silence were interrupted by another knock at the door.

"Come in."

Laheeb's father said.

The door opened, and a group of people came in through the door. Two guards with weapons in their arms were accompanying three scared workers in blue uniforms.

"Boss!"

They greeted.

Laheeb's father looked at the three workers silently, making them feel uncomfortable.

After a minute, he started talking.

"Who is gonna tell me why there is water in a fuel tank?"

None of them talked.

Seeing this, Laheeb took the rifle from one of the guards and put the muzzle on the head of the nearest worker.

"Speak! Or I'm going to f*cking put a bullet through your brains one by one!"

Laheeb yelled at them with a hideous expression, as if he was going to shoot at any second.

The worker started trembling with horrified faces and tried to step back. However, the guards standing behind them didn't allow it.

"My patience will not last long, speak!"

Laheeb stepped forward and threatened again.

"I… I will speak! Don't shoot please!"

One of the workers couldn't hold it and shouted.

"Speak!"

Laheeb took back the gun a little and ordered.

The worker looked at Laheeb's uncle, hesitated for a moment then spoke,

"It.. it was boss Sam's order! H.. he.. he told us to do it!"

Laheeb and his father didn't change their expression, however, the other workers saw that someone let the cat out and hurriedly talked.

"When the tank was 70% full he came and told us to load the rest in another truck!"

"He said if we don't do it, we will be fired from work!"

"He then..."

Like a broken dam, they started rattling one after the other.

When they finished, Laheeb asked with a gloomy voice,

"Where is the other truck?"

The first worker said while trembling,

"It… it's g... Gone!"

Laheeb looked at his father, only to find him looking back at him. Then his father turned toward his silent uncle and had a hesitant expression. After thinking for some time, he had a determined expression and told Laheehb.

"Call you cousin."

Laheeb didn't have the same hesitation as his father, he directly took his phone and called Sam.

After ringing for three times the call was picked up, and Sam's sleazy voice came out.

"Hello~ cousin."

Laheeb had a smile on his face, not the usual cheerful one, but a cold mocking smile.

"Oh! Cousin, a good thing happened, come to my Dad's office!"

Sam went silent for three seconds, then asked,

"Why are you being so mysterious~? Can't you tell me what the good news is?"

Laheeb laughed.

"Haha! It won't be fun if I tell you, come quickly!"

"...Okay!"

Ending the call, the smile on Laheeb's face was gone in an instant.

Nobody uttered a word after that, after 2 minutes there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

It's still Laheeb's father.

Coming through the door, Sam had a relaxed, happy smile, as if something good had happened.

Unfortunately, it didn't last for long. The moment he saw the three workers in the room, his expression collapsed into a furious one, as if he was going to eat the three alive.

Just as he wanted to say something, Laheeb's father started talking,

"Roy, Geno, Please take the three of them away, I will handle their matter at a later time."

He ordered the two guards. After they went out and closed the door, there were only family members in the office.

Only then did Sam's father open his eyes. He looked at his son with cold indifferent eyes.

Sam was shocked when he saw his expression. His father has never looked at him like that, he was always pampered by his parents, and never had such a cold look from any of them.

"You better give me a good reason for what you did."

His father said in a cold voice, causing him to have the cold sweat,

"I.. I.."

Sam didn't know how to reply and started babbling.

*thud*

His father hit the table, his expression turning from calm to angry, then yelled again.

"What is the I, I, I? Answer honestly!"

Sam craned his neck to the back and retreated a step.

"I'M PREGNANT!"
