"Chris, good heavens one of these days you'll scare me to death with how sneaky you are," I said after feeling vulnerable as a result.
" I'm sorry, sir. "
Christian Morcón, who we all call Chris, is my right-hand man. He's a former military man who is now engaged in simple office work, of course, in quotation marks.; he is a loyal, cunning, audacious and faithful man, his pulse does not tremble when I give an order no matter what type it is, now it is always said that in the midst of all evil dwells something of good and in all good dwells something of evil and Chris is precisely the living example of that incongruity because despite having been trained as a war machine has a serene, peaceful and warm side everything I hate in this life, which makes me stay with my feet on the ground curiously.
" You need something, Chris. "
" Yes sir, well, actually, I'm here to warn you. It's almost 2: 00 P.M. The meeting with the committee members is ready, all it takes is your presence. "
" Thank you Christian in a moment I will be over there; by the way, before you retire you could tell my assistant that I will need the documents of the settlement tomorrow, I need to investigate some matters to confirm that everything is ready. "
" Of course, sir. I'll let you know when I leave. "
In view of having nothing pending according to what I thought he intended to leave to continue in his labors, and taking a few steps he approached the door, but to my surprise stopping his action I reply.
" Excuse me, sir, for a short while, and I forget to tell you the most important thing, the plane ticket, the stay at the cottage has been confirmed. "
" Wow, that was pretty quick. What time's the flight? "
" 12: 00 p.m. sir. "
" And the helicopter has been confirmed. "
" Yes sir, it will be ready for your arrival. "
" Fine, let my driver know and get everything ready for our departure at 11:00 p.m. I hope to finally be on my way to the airport at that time. "
" Yes sir. "
I fixed my gaze on him and finally regaining his movement I saw him walk out that door leaving my office.
For some reason the distraction came to me and after spending staring at nothing for a few seconds I went to the chair next to the desk, who gave him a torque ancient but elegant at that place and setting my body on its surface, I started to review some documents that I signed up my signature which already had for a good time outstanding, then I directed my sight to the left side and fixing my eyes on the cup which rests a hand on the table take it in hand disponiéndome to take your content, that coffee that although it is of a mild flavor has an extremely delicious aroma.
Once it was ready I stood up I took the bag from the coat rack and I cigni adjusting the knot of my tie and I started my journey through the hall to the boardroom; not very well get all welcomed me, all elderly gentlemen some wretched sycophants, others would just ignore my presence, and others simply enjoy challenging my patience, in some ways I avoid giving too much importance to this matter, because more than one is present in that hall has a tail that they walked on without cutting that if I let go of my instincts that it would end up in a complete disaster.
The meeting term much earlier than expected since the deadline that had certainly been estimated as a deadline for the development of the same, that small discussion was reduced merely to half being more than enough 30 minutes, everything was brought to consensus quickly and forcefully strange thing because those vultures constantly clash as to agree on such matters it is.
Each one quickly took his course, leaving that room without waiting and without looking back and I simply looking for peace retired again to my office in the hope of rest.
During my journey back down the hallway to the calm, the restlessness and the fact it took me, for me this was as pause, no noise and no movement uniqueness pretty obvious as to be an area of resection is usually quite moved by the constant flow of personnel, but can be fussy and restless, preferred to retire to my office to avoid forming a fuss.
I followed my way with my head steady until I finally reached my office, after my arrival I removed the jacket placing it on the coat rack, loosen the knot of my tie, unbuckle the sleeves of my shirt and approaching the small couch that lies in a corner let my body fall letting me be carried away by the tranquility and relaxation guided by silence.
The last few days that I feel tired, the simple fact of walking me requires more than I should, and today is one of those days, I assume for sure that, in any case, it is possibly that I happen to be a result of stress reflected in appalling nights that I am experiencing due to some bad dreams that I come tormented, tied it is to the excess of work because I admit I on I demand too much, more fatigue, and my mood swings are the cause of such instability in me.
I let myself be seduced by the dream the sweet pleasure that engulfs the souls out of print and I am in between his bowels where an unusual picture hardly created by my decision prominence of the time, a field full of golden wheat mature opens step, I hear a voice that calls me claiming strongly my attention along with the laughter of small children playing nearby where I was at, who they are full of emotion " grandfather come to play " that seduces me in the most tender, although I don't want to admit the place was a place completely placid.
Without warning I feel like someone approaches stealthily and without making much noise, he looked everywhere, but I can not find what is heard; when I was more clueless that was noticed, who in a single jump came out from behind my back and taking my hand started to run, I tried to stop him, but I could not, I was looking for a way to release his grip of my hand, but there was no way, no matter how I tried our hands remained united, now without strength I stopped fighting and instead of fighting I resigned myself to follow her.
The person who was holding me by the hand it was a girl and not a common one but the same one that always appears in my dreams interestingly whenever I have a nightmare, like you cry for help this appears to save me, that is not very high, it is completion average, but of a long hair black who wore a white dress with sleeves, thin, trying to see his face was something impossible as always avoided being seen by me who viewed it full of doubts, wondering constantly " Who is this girl? " In spite of everything, that moment became a completely magical one for me and for the first time in many years the nightmares had been modified by a serene dream.
Despite being a simple dream that moment had become the best of my life, but let's be honest that does not depart from what is part of unreality itself.
.... ..... ......
I slept and I don't know the truth how long my body begins to react after exiting out of the trance in which is immersed the mind during the dream, I open my eyes and the first thing that stumbling is with the beautiful image of the sky who is located in the sunset, as the sun is low enough to not cause discomfort whatsoever with your light in my eyes, but high enough to stop noticing the color orange in the clouds characteristic of that time.
I left the couch while I crossed my arms at the level of my back and approached me to the window to contemplate with a better view that landscape.
Finding myself completely on my back surrounded by silence and while my eyes remain fixed, I feel as someone tries to enter my office as I hear the doorknob being turned on its axis eventually causing that person to break through.
" Mr. Richmond, I'm sorry to bother you. I thought you were still asleep. "
Who replicates that is Silvia Harris my assistant, a beautiful woman with enviable physical characteristics, who has curves of attack and shark mind ... yes, as you read her incredible intelligence has no comparison is able to dazzle the boldest man and bend him to his feet, she is a completely sublime woman more to a and eh to admit the excellent lover that can be and of that I have no doubt.
As if I had said nothing I ignored her, I refused to speak and utter the slightest word, but she did not care and leaving me completely alone was not part of her plan.
Without caring, she closed the door behind her, heard her take a few steps to approach the desk and cautiously stops replicating.
" By the way, here I bring the documents of the conciliation that you asked me " with a serene voice and with evident touches of flirtatiousness he uttered those words his intentions were increasingly evident and each time leaving a little shame behind.
I turned my head to see where she was taking me the surprise of seeing her seated semi reclined on the edge of the desk, realizing that finally I observed her without a word crossed her legs causing her skirt to shrink a few centimeters leaving her perfectly contoured mules totally exposed.
I'm not going to lie, be other circumstances I would not mind to take it here and now, as on other occasions, it has happened, but the images in my dreams hondaban they would appear time and time again, stopping me from thinking, with complete clarity, after reflecting a moment, I exclaimed once I turned my head to the window - let in the desktop - my voice was a bit sharp and clearly cold.
" Ummm! Because so sharp, come closer and let's play for a while, the building is practically alone we can make all the noise we want. "
" I'm not in the mood, Silvia. "
" Don't be mean, I can see how stressed you are and I cremated that I could help you. "
" I already said no, so please retire. I have to finish my work. "
And by letting out a " hash " I go on to say " you take the fun out of everything. "
She descended from the table, laid her clothes, took a few steps away from the desk and went directly to the door which she opened, crossed the portal and after closing abruptly expressed her evident discontent after that rejection.
I took a deep breath after experiencing such a scene of which capricious girl that Silvia had mounted, I had to do everything aside because I had to concentrate and order my ideas so in a first attempt I turned around I approached the desk where I settled, I took that folder in hand with the documents of the conciliation to which in the first instance I simply gave a glance wanting to get to work.
I was tired, extremely tired despite having slept a good while and I feared that such annoyance would prevent me from finishing my work, my thoughts flew and I could only think of that long-awaited trip being this immensely yearned that in a short time I was going to make, because after I left that island even as a child I never returned, rest was my greatest longing and what better than to do it in the beautiful land in which I lived for 5 years in my childhood my beautiful Dominican Republic.
The time was cruel it would pass slowly as not wanting to move forward, but still my emotion was enormous, although not evident at all, after thinking a few seconds and feeling energetic to finish with my task I took that folder again in hand and I prepared to correct, cross and modify the errors, already with everything ready only needed to type and print and after a lot of typing everything was finally impeccable.
Ready to save it all in my bag, quickly order my clothes and walked out of the building with your head up high, but with the broken spirit yearning as well to get home to give me a good swim, get into the jacuzzi as the bubbles do their work while I enjoy a good bottle of wine, and after I go to the bedroom to immerse myself in that comfortable bed, wrapped in sheets warm and so I did, as I thought I did, each step take you out and once on the bed look up at the ceiling let my eyes relax and I said goodbye that day so stressful.
