"I am here to work.", Max said while approaching his father whose expression didn't hide that he does not believe him.
Max decided to ignore his father's skepticism. No matter what he says, it will not change his opinion and Max knows that the only way is to prove himself.
Max took a printout from the folder he is holding, placed it on Nathan's desk and pointed at it while talking: "Your next meeting is in eighteen minutes about expanding our contract with SPM. Out of five points on the agenda, the first three look promising, but the other two show an unsteady growth rate…"
Nathan leaned deeper into his chair and listened to his son. Nathan wishes that he can take this Max who is right here, speaking wisely and eloquently, and freeze him to prevent him from reverting to his fickle ways. Oh, how he wishes that this brilliant Max is here to stay.
"What do you suggest?", Nathan asked when Max finished speaking.
