"Don't you need to get going? Syn told me that Felix will be arriving at 11:30." 

"Yes, unfortunately. I'll try to arrange another meeting with you as soon as I'm not busy." 

"There's no need to." Emir hurriedly said as he shook his head. 

It might be presumptive of him, but Konrad found the man easy to talk to. The main reason was how apparent Emir's emotion was. By simply looking at his eyes, anyone could see the old man's honesty. He's the kind of person who appeared to be a pushover. Yet in truth, he was merely waiting for the right opportunity to make himself heard. 

Konrad had been dealing with his subordinates all week long. It was not an understatement to say that he had gotten sick of meeting his subordinates who wore their greed on their pretentious smiles. If they thought that their poor attempt at cordiality would urge him to consider that they're endearing, then they've just made the worst mistake of the century.
