Mekhi stood up from his seat, headed to his room to change, swiftly made his way to the garage, and then drove to the National Security Bureau.
On his way, he kept a keen eye on his watch, counting down the seconds.
In the final seconds, he reached Nathans office precisely on time.
Nathan reclined in his chair nonchalantly. Dressed in his military uniform, he exuded an air of authority.
Between his slender, pale fingers, he played with a cigarette. He occasionally sniffed it but refrained from lighting it up.
He feared that if Lucinda caught even a whiff of the smell of smoke, she would reproach him for endangering their babies health.
Mekhi stood by the doorway, his gaze fixed on Nathan from a distance.
He strode confidently toward the open space near Nathans desk.
And he maintained an impeccable posture with his hands clasped behind his back.
Mr. Payne, you have stopped me from working in the National Security Bureau. Do you have a special order for me now?

Nathan glared at Mekhi with a cold expression. Then he grabbed a task list from the table and tossed it at him.
Undisturbed, Mekhi stood still, allowing the list to collide with his stomach and then slide to the floor.

Give it a read first.
Perplexed, Mekhi stooped to pick up the list and carefully scanned its contents.
These are the missions I completed in the past three months. Whats the issue?
Nathan set his cigarette on the table and adopted a grave tone.
Your attendance last month is noticeably half of the previous two.
Care to explain?
Aware that Nathan was trying to upset him, Mekhi suppressed his anger and explained, My sister has been sick, so Ive had to be home with her more often.
Dont feed me that excuse.
Yelling, Nathan took the ashtray and hurled it at Mekhis forehead.
Instinctively, Mekhi turned his head, narrowly avoiding impact.
The ashtray brushed past his ear and landed on the carpet behind him with a faint sound. But it was intact.
Hmm? Behind the desk, Nathan scowled. He was about to let his anger out.
