He walked hastily in the company, checking from the corner of his dark green eyes if everybody was working.
He noticed Elaine, hir secretary.
"Elaine, cancel all my appointments for today, there's a lot of work that should be done, I'm busy" he quickly said as he was making his way to his office.
"But Mr. Kingstone you've got an important appointment for today. Somebody called Sebastian Perez wanted to meet you soon" Elaine anxiously said hoping that he heard it well.
Areson froze. Sebastian Perez. There was something familiar about this name.
"Okay Elaine, I'll wait for him in my office, thank you" he said and his silhouette got lost in the long path.
Areson :
'That name. I know him. Of course, he's Sebastian Perez, one of the most dangerous people I know. He wants to meet me. Well, my instinct tells me he has no good intentions at all.'
I open one of my desk drawers. There's a gun there, just in case things get out of control. You can expect everything from Perez.
I hear a knock on the door and I tense.
The door opens and he comes in. The devil himself.
"This is a nice day Mr. Kingstone, don't you think so?" Sebastian said calmly while walking towards the window.
"Mr. Perez, hello, have a seat" I kindly said.
He sat down and took a folder out of his suitcase.
"So, Mr. Kingstone, your company's success the past few years has been unmeasurable don't you think?" he provoked while opening the folder.
"Hard work Mr. Perez. Hard work took us where we are now" I said as I tried to hide my irritation.
"I won't waste my time now, so I will just start presenting my proposal. You've been playing with fire Mr. Kingstone. Do you think we don't know your illegal businesses? If the government found out about it, oh well, you know the rest. All the success will be disappeared. So I am kindly asking you, to sign these papers and pass your companies to me. If you refuse, I'll bring you to the court Mr. Kingstone. My lawyer will not have mercy on you." he finished his speech.
I look away for a moment and laugh a little. Then I turn to face him again.
"Mr. Perez, your mafia organisation is quite strong I have to say. But if you think that with a single threat and a powerful lawyer you'll be able to take all my success away, then I congratulate you on your surreal dreams. I kindly ask you to leave, as I have no intention on pointing a gun to your head and pulling the trigger." I finally say, as I was getting more and more tense.
"So this means war Mr. Kingstone? You're opposing the greatest mafia organisation with your arrogant behaviour. Then war it is. Have a nice day Mr. Kingstone. And don't dream too much." Sebastian said as he got up took his suitcase and left the office.
He left the papers on my desk. Fucking papers. I could notice his gun. He had one too. Well, this means we don't like each other at all.
If he wants war, then war it is. He will have my businesses over my dead body.
I got out of the office, slammed the door shut and left the company, heading for an emergency meeting with my secret coworkers.
