"Come in", said Raymond when he heard someone knocking at his door.
"We got a problem", said his assistant David. He was scared to speak out anything because he knew his boss was already at his low for missing out the investment from Infinion.
"Can you spell it out, instead of throwing riddles at me?", said an annoyed Raymond.
"Um.. I got a call from Abacus Inc. They want to pre-pone our proposal meeting to this week. I mean this Thursday. So technically including today, we have only 3 days to chart out our new project pitch to them", David sang in all in one breath.
"Are they out of their mind? How can they pre-pone on such short notice?", said Raymond and got up from his seat. He started strolling in the room and then stopped at the window. He pinched the middle of his eyebrow and looked all grim. This was a bad sign for David and an indication that he should scoot. So he tip-toed and quietly left the room.
