"Well, why do you want to buy the same land when you can also buy some other land if the landlord is asking for so much money," he asked looking at him

"Well, why do you want to buy the same land when you can also buy some other land if the landlord is asking for so much money," he asked looking at him.

"Because it would be perfect for my orphanage, and I have already got the potential of that land assessed and everything had decided earlier, but I don't know why he is suddenly asking for more money," he replied, still reading that file.

"But, that land is agricultural if you buy that land what will happen to those farmers' livelihood?" he shouted abruptly glaring at him. "Ernest, it's not right to build a house by crushing someone's happiness."

On seeing his rude gesture all of sudden, Ernest looked at him for a while and continued in calm voice as he was his best friend and he didn't want any misunderstanding between them, "Edwin, why are you behaving strange, abruptly?" he kept his file on the desk, "Don't you know we're businessmen, and businessmen don't express feelings and emotions!"

"I know very well what we are...but we have no right to snatch someone's happiness and you are snatching their land as that's land is livelihood of those poor farmers," he shouted again glaring at him.

Meanwhile, a 'Knock',' Knock' sound is heard.

"Come in," said Ernest, shifting his gaze from Edwin to the door.

A worker arrived with two mugs of coffee and kept them on the desk as he could feel the cold environment around him so he quickly left the conference room.

Edwin realised what he just said in his anger, and he didn't know himself why he abruptly shouted at him, "I am sorry bro, I didn't want to shout at you but please try an understand them and their situation," he sighed looking at him.

"It's ok, but what's wrong with you today? Why are you behaving like you don't know me, and why would I care about them? And let me tell you one thing, they are not paying their debt for 2 - 3 years to that Landlord. So maybe he wants to sell that land as he is not getting any profit, and perhaps he wants to get rid of them too, and if I will not buy that land then someone else will buy it because that land is perfect for any work like a mall, restaurant, casino, etc while I am buying that land for a good purpose," he explained in calm tone, hoping now he will understand his pov.

"But, I know there must have been some reason why they haven't paid their loan so far," he said turning his gaze from him.

"I don't know and don't want to know either as why they didn't pay their debt? " He picked up his coffee mug and took a sip, "You're worrying needlessly. They'll find some solution for themselves and now I don't want to discuss this anymore," He said shifting his gaze from him to file and started reading it.
