Wanted

Brayden walked into work on Monday morning. He had on Black suit pants with a matching jacket and a light pink button up with the top two buttons unbuttoned. He hadn't even bothered with a tie.

"Good morning, sir." Mercedes greeted him.

"Where's Jacob?" Brayden asked flatly.

"He should be headed to your office shortly." Mercedes assured her boss and typed a direct message to Jacob to get to Brayden's office asap. She also included that Brayden was not looking any better than before even after taking a week off. If anything she thought he looked worse.

"Goodmorning, sir." Jacob said as he met Brayden at the door to his office and opened it for him.

"I know you want to ask how my week off was," Brayden said with no infliction of emotion whatsoever. He took his jacket off and put it on his chair before sitting down.
