Dead

He was in the middle of a very important meeting when his phone rang in front of him. Everybody paused what they were doing and stared at Azriel. The long-haired man, without knowing who called,  just turned his phone off, keeping his eyes on the screen. He gestured for the presenter to continue, while murmuring a quick apology, handing the phone over to Lilian, who was looking at him with wide, disbelieving eyes.

"Sir, you're phone-"

"It's nothing important, Lilian. Focus on the meeting."

The meeting continued on as if nothing happened, until the late nights of 8 pm, only then did Azriel get out of work. Lilian had been silent at him ever since then, she just handed back his phone over, before bowing her head and leaving for the night. Azriel shrugged it off as her being tired, so he just let it go, making himself comfortable in his office.
