0.148 The Call In His Office

"Sir, is that all you need?" Fred asked as he dropped the file on Jared's table.

Jared had his eyes on the file as he checked the numbers and inputted them into his computer for reports.

He had been swamped with work since morning due to the opening of the new branch in Asia.

His father, Romano, had done a great job at cornering him so that he wouldn't be able to do anything else but focus on a load of work that dropped on him.

"Uh…" Jared typed a key on the laptop.

"That would be all, Fred. Just help me make the report I asked you for so I can submit it to the branch by today," Jared looked up for a moment before he returned his gaze to the laptop.

"Okay, sir. Do you need anything for lunch?" Fred asked which made Jared still for a bit.

He took a look at his watch and was surprised to see it was already past noon. He had been so caught up in his work that he didn't realise how much time had passed.
