I fidget with my tie as my eyes pored on my PC screen with boredom.
"Mr. Smith?," My employee called my attention, reminding me I am having a zoom meeting with two employees from Lynx construction firm in Philadelphia.
"We are waiting for your approval." The other employee said.
"Right, email it to me," I said.
"What about the suppliers?" He asked.
"Drop them. Zinc will be our main source of supply of building materials for an affordable price. Any further questions….?"
The door burst open. I lift my eyes from the screen to the door.
To my surprise, Alice walks in.
"Sorry for barging in on you" she awkwardly said.
"A polite knock will do not this rude interruption," I bluntly point out her error.
"Sorry, your secretary wasn't at her desk." She meekly said.
I glanced at my wristwatch. It's lunchtime. My secretary must be out to get lunch.
