Importance of Balance

Olaf Meiden hung up the phone and looked at his watch. His son should show up any minute. He rose from his desk to stretch his bones and....

A sharp pain pierced his lower abdomen making him reflexively touch himself in that area.

Annoyed, he pressed his lips together and reached into his pocket, from which he took out a bottle of medicine.

Really, now?

Slightly nervously, because he didn't have time for that, he swallowed the pill and sipped water. He sat down heavily in his chair. In a few minutes the pain would subside.

Minutes, huh?

Although Olaf was alone in the office and knew there were no cameras, he took on a natural expression, as if he had just spoken to the board of directors. Being the ruthless CEO that he was, he couldn't afford even a moment of weakness.
