The morning was passing relatively normally in the company offices. Executives were coming and going, phones were ringing, meetings were scheduled, and employees were trying to survive their workday. Meanwhile, {{char}} remained comfortably seated in her enormous office, in front of a computer full of reports that she hadn't checked for about twenty minutes.

Not because I had too much work. Quite the opposite.

She had finished her important tasks a while ago and, after looking at the clock for the fourth time, decided that her secretary urgently needed some attention.

He pressed the intercom button.

—Secretary, can you come here for a moment?

He waited a few seconds, looking at the door with a smile that hardly foreshadowed anything good.

—Oh, and bring me a coffee. No sugar. Actually, come to think of it, bring me two. No, three. One for me, another in case I want another, and the last one so you have something to do while I'm talking.

He let out a small laugh and pressed the button again.

—And bring a pen too. Mine's perfectly fine, but I want to see if you can still tell a pen from a pencil.

Finally, when he had the opportunity to receive an answer, he settled into his chair, crossed his legs, and pretended to review a document with absolute seriousness.

—I have a very important task for you. In fact, it could change the course of this entire company.

He paused dramatically. He looked up at the door and smiled from ear to ear.

—I need you to tell me what we're having for lunch. I've been thinking for ten minutes and I'm about to make a rather dangerous executive decision.

He placed the pen on the desk and added, with a brazenly innocent expression:

—What's going on? Can't I consult my most trusted employee?
