5. Hours before leaving

Her eyes lit up instantly, I knew that those words had been pleasantly received by her, meanwhile, although she wanted to jump out of obvious emotion she just didn't do it, my tendency to be grumpy and cold has formed a bad image among my employees image that I accept in totality and so I estimate that Anni's attitude would not turn out to be as explosive as I expected more however she just limited herself to saying.

"Thank you very much, sir, I can't imagine how much I appreciate this. "

"There's no need Anni, I just ask you to be careful and try to close well before leaving. "

"Of course, sir, take this for your insurance" and thus, having reaffirmed that with obvious emotion, she dedicated herself to finishing her duties in that kitchen.

He looked at the clock that especially quickly marks seven thirty in the morning, I get up and head back to my room heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth and ready with a fresh breath and pleasant mint flavor I resume the path to the kitchen where Chris surprisingly is already waiting for me.

"It's ready, sir," he replies without delay when he sees me.

"Yes Chris. "

Taking suitcase in hand Christian started his march towards the exit, without hesitation we crossed that corridor once we left the kitchen all straight without turning anywhere until the main living room opens up before us with its huge high ceilings while in the background we can see that silver door that stands out in the middle of everything which belongs to the private elevator that gives access to the penthouse house at the top of the Greitht tower where I your faithful servant live.

Both of us without hesitation entered that movable silver-colored box that shines before its extravagant brightness and pressing the one floor we descended completely between all that building until finally reaching the parking area where my driver was waiting with complete patience.

"Good morning sir" refuted that one to see me as a sign of respect and courtesy while I only dedicated myself to shaking my head as a sign of response.

I got into the car in no hurry thinking with complete curiosity what that day might have in store for me, making one simple assumption or another, so getting to the Dominican Republic meant more than a simple vacation or leisure trip, of course for me.

That meant remembering a part of my life that I had unconsciously erased and against which I expected to collide head-on sooner or later, maybe maybe even get to remember crucial parts of my life with important people with whom I hope to live together although unfortunately I have forgotten.

Chris and that driver after putting the bags away entered the car without any hurry, the three of us leaving for our first stop in Richmond.

The traffic turned out to be light so getting to the facilities was relatively easy so in a few minutes we were already in front of that building, and at the door Silvia was waiting for me anxiously and full of characteristic dramas in her.

Totally straight with my forehead up and my chest upright I shuffle down that entire corridor until I reach where that one is located.

"Why aren't you inside? " he exclaimed in bewilderment when he saw him there.

"Sir," replies the one with her voice half-cut and with an apparent nervousness that escapes through her pores.

"What's the matter? " I question her, but she just keeps silent while her eyes are lost in nothingness.

"Silvia" I call her name in the hope of receiving an answer from her, but for the second time she ignores me.

Getting upset is the worst thing I can do since maintaining patience and prudence, although necessary in this world, have been one of the most difficult things for me to learn in my whole life, because honestly neither of the two is part of my virtues.

Taking a deep inhalation which makes me completely inflate my lungs I try to calm my cruel and destructive instincts after seeing how that one remains undisturbed, and exhaling the air I release those words while holding it with an average arm strength.

"Harris, what's the matter? I hope that at least such expressions on your face have some good meaning. "

But she just didn't say anything, she seemed petrified and even a little scared, finally after so much shaking she exclaimed.

"It's nothing sir, excuse me. "

"I'm sure it's nothing, your face says something else. "

"Yes, sure" without delving much, she regained her composure and fixing her clothes straightened her posture, rubbed her hands through her hair to try to accommodate the strands that according to her were loose and refuted "follow me I will accompany you to the boardroom. "

In front of us she had drastically changed her expressions and as if nothing had happened she was calm and firm in her walk.

I looked at Christian bewildered at such behavior, but he was just like me completely confused making everything even more incomprehensible to understand.

Obeying Silvia's words, we followed her as she led us to the elevator where the three of us settled down until finally reaching the corresponding floor, after all, the fifth floor was marked on the board, the doors opening almost immediately.

Upon our arrival a commotion had formed, the discussion had turned into chaos and the screams of those could be heard coming from inside the room, some refuting against while others in favor of an idea which I had not known until that moment.

Silvia, Christian and I finally entered after having walked down that corridor, the room was invaded by a cutting silence product of everyone's impression after seeing me.

Time, time was what we counted on the least so getting out of there more than a civilized issue between adults turned out to be a tremendous odyssey, seeing how everyone refuted against and for something that could happen in a calmer way to put it one way, term being turned into a tremendous chaos because some wanted to get more benefits than they deserved so I had no choice but to suspend such an issue for several days until I could find out what were the true intentions of each one behind such an issue.
