4 Lester Stuart Alexander
The CEO's office, Alexander Corporations
A set of classic yet luxurious furniture was seen in the office making the office look professional and stylish. The room was filled with Leather upholstery and wood framed pieces giving the office a refined and regal look. In the room filled with executive decors and pricey furnishings, the only picture that could be seen as an Artwork was painted by a very famous Artist. The painting which is known as 'The magical planet' was hung on the wall.
The room was brilliantly lit with fluorescent lighting, lamps and tasks light which although looked like a disaster gave the room a soft and warm glow. The black opaque curtains were drawn back using gold colored curtain tie backs. A floor to ceiling window was situated at another side of the room giving the occupant of the room a great view of the buzzing view of the city.
Lester Stuart Alexander, CEO was seen on a plaque placed on the wall, which had a burgundy color complimenting the mahogany and walnut shades of the furniture and other decorations. In a corner of the office stood a bookshelf that was filled to the brim with books, files, and magazines. A bottle of scotch was seen on the coffee table.
Moments later, Lester came in looking haggard, loosening his tie he sat back on one of the chairs in front of the coffee table and took a swig of the scotch directly from the bottle. The company's board members had another heated argument about the privatization of their rival company which lasted a whole night.
The incessant knocking on the door made his mood dampen. "Come in," he said with a hoarse voice and slightly annoyed tone. He leaned his head back and rubbed his aching temples. Although, he knew he was not the only one present in the room he did not bother with raising his head.
"Sir?" his secretary called and after not getting a response he lowered his head and was thinking of ways to tell his boss about the matter he came for without offending him. He was still in the process of racking his brains when he heard his cold voice "Speak, or are you waiting for me to tell you your job?"
Although Ryan had been with him for a few years now and was older than him, whenever, he is in the presence of Lester he still feels a little scared. Who was he kidding the man is like a monster, out to get everyone's happiness, he could not even take a few days of leave to be with his wife and new baby.
Ryan was lost in thoughts when he remembered he came in to report a matter to Lester "Sir, madam wants you back home for dinner tonight, she called you but your phones were turned off and she tried calling the office land-line but you were not picking up" Lester remained silent for a while before looking at Ryan puzzled "And did she say why?" he asked looking at the fidgety Ryan standing in front of him."No sir" came the reply.
"Great, since she did not tell you the reason, I do not see why I need to go over to her place for dinner," Lester said finally tugging off his tie. He stood up and made his way to the inner bedroom when he heard his secretary speak again "Sir, please if you would not mind but the madam said it is important and to make sure you come". Ryan spoke anxiously because even as he was speaking he felt the temperature of the room drop suddenly.
Bang! A loud noise was heard as Lester threw the bottle of scotch in his hands on the wall, shattering the bottle into tiny fragments. Ryan thought he was not going to respond after his outburst but was shocked when Lester asked him for the time, too shocked in fact to notice Lester getting more impatient with him. "Sorry sir, what did you say? Ryan asked after returning to normal.
"Is there something wrong with your ears? I asked you what time the dinner is" Lester repeated himself through gritted teeth 'Wow! If only he was not my boss I would have spanked him, he needs to learn not to give a person any vicious attack again, my poor heart can't take it anymore. He behaves like he is in that time of the month every single day since I have known him' Ryan thought to himself but although these were his thoughts what came out of his mouth turned into "It is 7 pm, sir, she asked that you should be early sir"
"Is that all?" Lester asked when he noticed his secretary was not speaking again "No sir, sorry I mean yes, I...." "Then get out!" Lester interrupted Ryan's rambling. "Right away sir," Ryan said as he walked out of the office
At 6:30 pm Lester stopped the reviews he was doing and got up from his chair causing it to swivel. He checked the time on his expensive wristwatch and walked over to the floor to ceiling window. He stared blindly outside for a while before finally grabbing his coat from its hook. He then took his personal elevator down to the parking lot. He got into an expensive cayenne Porsche sports car and slowly drove off.
Annabelle, who was on the sidewalk and was waiting for the traffic lights to change before crossing to the other side of the road saw an elderly woman trying to cross the road. She was scared out of her wits when she saw a sports car speeding over almost crashing into the old woman. "Grandma!!!" she heard a childish voice scream. Immediately without thinking about her own safety she ran headfirst into the traffic to help the old woman.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" she asked the old woman after getting her to safety. "Hi, hold on to your grandma for me, okay?, I will be right back" she turned to the child that had screamed earlier. Walking up to the car that has stopped by now, she knocked on the tinted window. The more she knocked the angrier she got, the window was finally rolled down. The man in the car then handed her a blank check without looking at her "Next time, make sure you keep her safe, not everyone is as generous as me. Stop using such despicable means to extort money from people. It is disgusting " Lester said giving the check to Annabelle
As he prepared to roll up his window again he heard the lady speak "Apologize" just one word from her but it sounded with power. "Excuse me?" he asked clearly shocked at the girl's fearlessness, no one has ever raised their voice on him. "You heard me, apologize right now" Annabelle was not backing down although she noticed the significant change in temperature. She could not care about the status he had because although he looked rich, he was very rude.
"Why would I do that? I gave you a check right now, a blank one to fill in any amount you'd like" he said sarcastically, he was getting disgusted with the girl's audacity. "That is also the reason you need to apologize" Annabelle tore the cheque into pieces, threw them at him and with a self-righteous expression "You can shove that, now apologize. Just because you are rich does not give you any right to look down on others".
