"My appointment?" he asked his secretary briefly as he hurried down the corridor towards his office.
The spry woman of fifty kept up with him while explaining that his guest had been waiting for only two minutes.
His curious glance earned him a reply, "He just arrived, Sir."
"Oh," he said and slowed his steps. "Right, what is he like?" Casmir did this every time, knowing that his secretary had no sense of character perception but it was their own little tradition just before he entered to see a new person, it helped him calm down and put on his business face.
Mrs Ukpong shrugged as she usually did and walked to her table whileCasmir smiled before opening the door and walking into his office.
"Apologies for keeping you waiting," Casmir said to the older man who got to his feet with an equally polite smile and shook the hand he had extended.
"Not a problem. I just got in myself, I had a delayed flight."
