Chapter 2-

"You want me to what?"

~

Levi looked over to his alarm that was screeching on the other side of the room, getting up from his desk the raven-haired man slowly paced towards it before slamming down on the off button. He stalked back towards his desk ignoring the exhaustion plaguing his movements and mind. Checking the clock, he saw it was 5 in the morning. Realizing he only had three hours until he had to come into work, he set off to do his morning routine.

Stepping into the hallway after exiting his room the steel-eyed man strode forward to his cleaning closet. While Levi could easily afford a maid, he preferred to clean his home himself, believing others couldn't clean to his standards. After an hour passes, his home shines and smells of bleach and lemon, just how the clean man likes it.

This will have to do until I can get home and clean again after work. He thought. Continuing his morning the short man gets ready before putting the finishing touches on his paperwork.

Levi is 23, he became CEO of a small business when he was 19. While that might not seem possible for many people, he wasn't like most. While the man was young and brash, he was a genius. His family was poor and lived in one of the dirtiest parts of the city, to fix this he worked harder than the rest. He tested out of many grades and almost skipped elementary school completely. Graduating high school at a young 14, he got a free ride through one of the most expensive Universities available. Finishing with a masters degree after only four years he spent a year working at a local business, making a good impression on the owner, a large man named Erwin Smith who soon became a close friend, he was given the position of CEO, the previous CEO had retired, a year after Levi joined.

It's been four years since his promotion, and that small business was now a world-wide corporation. The Survey-Corp had many branches and delved into multiple types of businesses. Since the business was as big as it is Levi was now unnecessarily busy. He could easily work less than he did but he chose to do more work than needed so his underlings didn't have to do as much.

Checking the clock Levi stared at the red flashing numbers indicating the time, 6:02 am, he's two minutes behind. The perfectionist of a man went on with his strict routine of getting ready, all that was left to do was cook his food for the day, Levi made sure that no matter how little he slept or how much he worked, his body was in good shape. To do that he worked out in his personal gym daily and ate healthy home cooked meals he always pre-prepped in the morning. After he was finished, he packed his lunch and went to the garage on the bottom floor of his penthouse.

After about half an hour of death starring his fellow drivers, he arrived at work 15 minutes early. Gathering his paperwork from the passengers' side, Levi walked his way to the front doors already feeling the glooming energy of the people inside the 10-story building. As he made it to the door, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. Recognizing the custom vibration pattern Levi reached back and grabbed his phone. Glancing at the screen to confirm it was Erwin calling him he slid his thumb over the screen hanging up on him.

If he wants to talk to me, he can come to the office. He knows I don't answer my personal phone while I'm working. Levi thought with an exasperated sigh. Walking into his office building, the raven gives a brief nod to the secretary sitting behind the front desk. Now in the building Levi took upon an even stricter persona, he hated mistakes when it came to work and didnt put up with anything less than perfect. The stout but strong man with steel eyes and sharp face walked to the elevator. He pressed the up button to call the elevator down from whatever floor it was on, standing there impatient as always he waited only to be abruptly shooken from though by another worker.
