ALEKSANDER
Silence, not the absence of noise- but the kind that fell like command, the only sound resonating through the entire space was of my hands working with the keys of my laptop. I leaned back on the chair in my office as my eyes read the codes...certain letters and numbers working their way out to get me what i want, chugging down the left over whiskey i stood up parting the grey blinds, staring at the view provided by the 24th floor of the highest building in Moscow. The city was asleep but i was not.
The clock shows two past ten, i sighed sliding the blinds to their original place and going back to where the screen was showing the procedure being completed, following the lead i dialed a number and the person opposite picked up at first ring and the voice came "Akim speaking". "Work done, you owe me one" i cut the call and proceeded to have a shower].
The cold water making it's way from my head to my shoulder and spreading on whole body relaxing my tensed shoulder, the pent up frustration slowly subsiding. Wrapping the white towel around my torso i got out changing in sweatpants i checked the time in my watch, exactly four in the morning and my phone buzzed again, i picked up the call knowing who called "what?" i said, my voice not hiding my disdain towards the person. "Good morning to you to my dear nephew....i called to ensure the takeover of DLFG is going smoothly". "It is ..... no need to worry uncle, you should keep your focus on the shipments and the work you always prefer...and if you are done, let's end it here.. i have meeting in a hour" i cut the call without further talking.
My second in-command Yuri Zaitsev comes through the big double gates right when the clock struck at 8 sharp. "Good morning sir, the next meeting at eight thirty with the Tokyo investors-final round. Your talking points are written and pre-approved." "and the takeover?" "The procedures the completed, legal notice sent, now you are holding 81% of the controlling stake in DLFG inc. "Good , what else?" "A Briefing session with the management of one of our entertainment enterprise for the next merger."
"Then shall we start the day Yuri?" "yes, sir!" he said flatly without any expression and get into his work. " and Yuri, get someone to keep an eye on my uncle, he seems out of track, i need every tiny bit of his routine." a short pause "yes sir!"
The grand corridor stretches ahead like a runway of power. The bright sun of Moscow cuts through the tall windows, casting long shadows. My leather shoes echoing against polished marble as i walk down the hallway of IL-luminary entertainments, one of the many subsidiaries of KZ Group, a conglomerate. The staff aligning in line waiting for their top executive to get into his office so they can breath freely.
I placed myself on the head chair of the vast conference room "begin" ordering the directors for the briefing. Before anyone could start they were interrupted by Yuri's voice " Sir! I think you need to see this."
