Being a gate-dog of Leon Harmon won't just get him a lot of money, he has to sell his conscience, bear Leon's wrath and endure Leon's behavior, irrespective of his age, job, social position, and his pride. Yet he didn't have the guts to talk back or fight for himself.
Does he like this kind of life? No, but he had come too far and there is no turning back even if he regrets it. He can end this only by giving up his life for Leon or surrender under the law. Anyway, he wasn't ready to do both.
He doesn't want to surrender himself under the law so it left him the only choice of endurance and bear Leon's wrath.
He knew meeting Leon without permission and especially entering his office in uniform would rile him up. But he had expected Leon to hear him out.
