The large clock on the wall ticked steadily as Raymond sat in his chair with his fingers loosely folded. The sound of a knock echoed from the door.
"Come in," he said calmly.
He didn't need to ask who it was. His secretary had called him moments ago to say Alex was on his way up.
Alex stepped in and sat down carefully as he held a slim file in his hands. Raymond leaned forward slightly, noticing the firm grip Alex had on the folder.
"What's up, Alex?" Raymond asked casually. "How are you doing?"
"I'm good," Alex replied with a smile. "Been a while since I heard from you though."
Raymond gave a tired chuckle. "Yeah. Things have been hectic over here."
Alex nodded. "I understand, it's as expected"
Raymond raised an eyebrow. "So… what brings you to my office today?"
Without another word, Alex gently placed the file on the table between them. He slid it forward. "I wanted to show you something. The project I've been working on. The blueprint is ready."
