Opposites Attract

Andrew

I straightened my tie looking at the mirror. It was 6:30 in the morning. For many it was a very early morning but for me it was wealth, a resource. Each and every minute of my day earns millions. I don't like wasting my time nor do I like those who wastes theirs. Maybe that's why I'm successful today. No not maybe. This is the reason I have reached this stage in my life. Sheer hard work and value of time is why I am in this stage.

My latest and upgraded phone designed so that I could do all the official work started ringing. I picked up the phone but I didn't say anything. I didn't have to. My employees knew me well and my silent language too.

"Sir, today you have a meeting with Mr.Stanley at 7 O'clock. Your car and driver is waiting in front of your house."

I cut the call with only an acknowledgement of, "Okay." I never replied more than this. Talking more unnecessarily meant wasting time. And as I said I don't like wasting time. I once again looked at myself in the mirror. I wore a navy blue button up shirt with a black blazer tucking the shirt in a pant of black color. My tie was also black contrasting my whole outfit. My dark chocolate brown hair which usualy falls on my forehead was spiked up with gel. This was my look. My look for everyday, for every meeting and official work. Satisfied with my look I stuffed the wallet in my pant pocket and my expensive company fountain pen in my blazer pocket and went out of the room.

While exiting my house my house I once again looked around my house that I myself had designed after the success of my first business venture and built it with it's profit. It was a two storied house or rather a mansion. On entering the house there was a living room which was divided into two parts by two pillars One side had a table exported from Germany in the middle and a big sofa and four chairs surrounding it, in front of which was a fire chimney on top of which was a big LED TV. On the other side there were small tables with another TV which was for gaming and karaoke night, though I didn't ever have anyone over for karaoke night as all of them were business associates. The room also had a door which led to the swimming pool next to the big window which had a very long curtain draping over. Before the swimming there was a table in the middle lying bed which would normally be used for tanning and a tree was there for shade. The swimming pool was actually expanded to the front under which there was a small room which can be described as a waiting room. After passing the living room you would come across two stairs which rounded and concluded on the same floor. There were two rooms on both sides of the stairs which meant a total four rooms.

After exiting my house and reaching the car I once again looked around my courtyard and garden. On one side there were chairs arranged with a hollow table in the middle which could be used as bonfire during family gatherings, and normally so that one could have tea and on the other side beautiful garden consisting of different flowers were set up. The house was both homely and modern. After climbing down the three steps which led to the parking I climbed in the car and told the driver to start driving. In the meanwhile I started working on my laptop. As I said I hate wasting time.

"Sir, I'm sorry but Mr.Stanley is not here yet. He had a family emergency."

"How long?"

The assistant looked uncomfortable looking anywhere but me.
