Former glory days
"Sir, Count Wellington wishes to see you if you can squeeze him into your schedule." His secretary approached him with a hesitant smile, knowing that her boss had a busy schedule.
She stood by the front of his desk as he waited for a reply. She had already told the Count that her boss was really busy, but he would not leave until he had seen him.
Her boss leaned on his chair and stared at her from his spectacle. Then, he took off his glasses, rubbing his eyes to ease the tension.
"Do I have time to spare?" He asked, knowing quite well that he had another meeting in a few minutes.
He rotated his neck and shoulder, using that time to release the tension building on his back and neck muscles. While his secretary worked on his schedule.
"Yes, Sir, but only a few minutes." She finally answered his boss.
She quickly turned around toward the door when his boss nodded his approval. She had no time to waste since her boss was pressed for time.
