The bastards surrounding this place raised there weapons aiming them at me.

My meeting had just began and I didn't want to be here. Honestly I don't even know what this meeting is about. Arlo can never do his job properly but at least he tries to minimise the amount of meetings I have. Im guessing this meeting is probably the reason of my next planned trip.
Everyone was here 15 minutes before the meeting time considering they know I don't like it when people are late.
Obviously my demeanour has to cold outside the comforts of my home. Everyone thinks if you're a boss you have to have a tough exterior or otherwise you would never be taken seriously.
I have so-called anger issues so even if I did act playful in front of others and they'd tried to mock me or order me around they wouldn't see the light of the day again.Which was a big problem of mine considering most of my employees are resting in their graves. After 15 minutes I started the meeting , everyone had arrived and were listening to me discussing about the new shipment which would arrive in a week.
Many had voiced their opinions and I didn't stop them because that's why I had them here. The meeting was an hour long and it hadn't even been half.
Halfway through the meeting and we were still conversing about the similar ordeal as earlier. I was beginning to get bored and I just wanted to leave but I am the boss and I can't. Actually I'm the boss and I can but I don't want to miss important details just because I was fatigued.
My thoughts came to an end with the ringing of a phone. With an irritated expression on my face I looked around the room to see whose it was. When I saw it was mine my lips dropped into a thin line, focusing my attention towards my phone. It's literally past 3 in the morning why is she calling me and most importantly why are we having a meeting at this time. 'What if something happened'. I quickly answered the phone putting against my ear.
"Hello" I spoke whilst I moved towards the corner so I was at a distance from the others. My voice raspy with the overcoming tiredness.
"Alaina. Hello. Are you okay??" I questioned when she didn't answer. I was beginning to panic. Before I could speak any further she answered.
"Hello" Her voice cracked as she greeted me through the phone.Her voice wasn't stable which was why she sounded like she had been crying.
"Are you okay" "Did something happen" I asked to assure myself nothing had happened.
"Umm can I ask you something"
"Yess anything"
"Do you have sleeping pills in your house"
"Yess I do, do you need some, I could bring them to you" No I can't bring it to her I'm literally in the middle of a meeting. I could send Arlo if I didn't want him back in one piece.
"Could you" she queried "You're not busy are you" 'I am'
I stopped interrogating her because I didn't want to pressure her into telling me about her state.
