Kai stood by the floor to ceiling window, one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding a phone pressed to his ear.
His shoulder was tense, and his face was as rigid as stone as he listened to Ruby's frustrated voice.
The glittering city night stretched beneath him like a picturesque scenery, yet none of it softened the storm twisting behind his eyes.
His assistant, Edwin Baxter, sat opposite his mahogany desk, waiting patiently and watching him from the corner of his eyes.
He could tell something was wrong and he hated been a bearer of more bad news. His hands clutched tightly to the thick brown envelope in his hand, contemplating whether or not to show his boss the document hidden inside.
"You said you had something for me."
Edwin snapped his head up only to find Kai already standing a few inches from him.
