With the darkness of his enclosed office, the oppressive weight finally began to lift. There was little he actually did for this company, though he posed as the CEO. Since assuming the guise, he'd slowly begun delegating his responsibilities. He had no interest in budgets or staffing... supplies or payroll. He came to work every day in order to put up appearances, and attended meetings because he had too.<br/><br/>In all reality, he'd done little if anything in days, which was exactly as he preferred it. This day was to be no different. Leaning forward over his desk, he pressed the button that called his secretary. "Miss Clawson. Please hold my calls until later. I'll be working."<br/><br/>"Of course, Mr. Jones."<br/><br/>"Thank you."<br/><br/>He released the button and chuckled. Snapping his fingers, he waved toward the corner. A surly looking male, dressed in all black, appeared from the shadows. Rising from his desk, Alexander allowed the newcomer to take his place. The man promptly set to work, completing the few tasks and phone calls that would be expected of the CEO of such a large company.<br/><br/>Alexander, for his part, flopped onto the large black leather sofa and went to sleep.
