Once he had finished cleaning up the chaos in his office, Damian didn't go out again. He sat back down at his desk to deal with the rest of the documents left unfinished that morning. This afternoon's meeting had been moved to the day after tomorrow, and his schedule had suddenly opened up a wide stretch of empty time; he was rarely this free. Free or not, though, a few pages into a report his mind would go drifting back toward the door of the rest room.
He picked up the internal phone and called down to the design department.
It was Howard who answered. Internal company lines didn't display the caller, so at first his voice came out rather irritable. The moment he heard it was the CEO's office, he changed in a flash and became far more deferential. Damian didn't much care. Sooner or later he would give this company's machinery a thorough clean-out, just not right now.
