He moved to the side and Antonio entered
He looked around the spacious office which was once his,
The decor was still untouched he looked at the curtains which where now gray he had dark curtains before,
The lighting in the ceiling made the table look pristine,
He lov3d the feel of the table , and there sat an oaf eating on it,
Antonio cleared his treat and said with a smile "good morning "
He looked liked he had not slept for days as he walked towards the seat and sat.
Sam putting away his food replied good morning boss as he stood up immediately
The leather had become too hot for him and he needed a little bit of air.
He looked at his table and tried to arrange it and was making a mess, he did not know why he was a little not expectant Antonio this early and he was trying to compose himself but sweat formed on his fore head and his spine was drenched even with the air conditioning in the room.
Welcome boss he managed to say to Antonio who did not mind sam's discomfort.
Antonio had known same for more than twenty years and he knew something was wrong and Sam was trying to hide it.
He knew sam would not do anything wrong but he wasn't so sure as he saw the way same was behaving
"Okay Sam, where is your report for yesterday,
Sams heart raced and he knew the report was what he gave to mark,
What was he going to say to buy time while mark worked on it,
He was going to be punished if Antonio saw what mark was doing with the ledger and he knew mark was going to face worse.
"It is with Mark "he said accepting defeat he knew there was something Antonio would not tolerate was lies so he did not try to lie.
Why is it not yet here ,I want to check it before I leave I want to take the day off,
Antonio turn and looked at Marco who instantly went to get mark,
Mark came in and Antonio asked for the report of yesterday s business conduct he followed the account before and after the audits.
Mark looked like a fish out of the water, the blood left his face and he did not know what word to say.
"kay" Antonio said " follow Marco and get it for me, I am just asking early I know, I won't judge you for not finishing I just want a flash through it before I leave.
As Marco and mark went to go get it, Sam asked if his boss would like a cup of coffee while he waited.
No, I already had one Antonio smiled at Sam.
"How is your wife?
he asked him with looking at the vase behind him,
She is fine sam replied
And Debbie?
She is well too he answered now sitting and a little bit relaxed watching his boss
