Chapter 20 The Other Night

• "Good morning, Mr Mali," I said to Hakim as I walked into his office. Seeing him these days didn't trigger my emotions as it did during the first few days of realizing that he was my boss, and coupled with the fact that I was in a situationship with Basil, I couldn't care less about him.
• "I was told that you asked to see me," I didn't know why, but I avoided his eyes, I avoided looking into them, and instead, I just stared at his face, from his lips to his forehead, to his nose, to his ears, anywhere apart from those green eyes.
• "Yes, Dante. Take a seat," he said, and I sat on the armchair opposite to his. "I have taken into account of the fact that you've made massive progress this past month and improved the office of the criminal department here in our firm. I want to thank you for that and then inform you of a new development," he spoke eloquently, firmly, formally in fact, unlike the Hakim that I had encountered the other night during the firm's dinner night out.
