I was at the office with my father, learning the day-to-day responsibilities of a CEO.
“Can I ask you a question, Dad?” I asked him.
“Of course,” he replied.
“When you and Mom decided to move here and make this the home branch instead of New York, was it hard?” I asked.
My dad blew out a breath and said, “That’s a complicated answer. There are things about that you kids don’t know.”
“Don’t know?” I was confused.
“Your grandparents didn’t like that I married beneath me, let’s just say, and leave it at that,” my dad stated.
It was clear this was a subject he did not want to discuss.
“Why are you asking me this?” he asked.
“Truth? I’m not sure I want to be CEO. Sometimes I wonder if I want to start a branch somewhere other than here, like a new division,” I told my dad.
