With a light sigh Sylus shits down his computer, pushing his chair back a bit so he can stand. [i]'It's been a long day, but at last I think I'm ready for tomorrow'[/i] The printer by the door spits out the last sheet of paper Sylus sent to it for printing and falls silent as he walks over to it. Picking up the stack he switches his light off, killing the TV displays in the process leaving him in complete darkness before he steps out into the hall outside his office. Holding out his hand he nods as a binder of sorts gets placed into his hand by Kesh. “You returned the ball?” 

Kesh nods rapidly, “Yes sir, as you asked I made sure he'd sent the reports first.” On Sylus's other side Jully waits until her boss looks over the binder before handing both the binder and the stack of papers to her. 

“Two sheets per sleeve, back to front, like a restaurant menu.” She nods at his order and hurries off to her desk to set to work. Kesh on the other hand follows his boss as he walks down the hall to the elevator. Knakeshta van Hymulsa was the top of his class in business school, determined to own his own business strait out of collage. He'd taken a job at an agency for, what he called, some work experience, but the one day he was criticized for being a little aimless, and not showing any initiative. IN an effort to prove them wrong he tried doing something on his own, and the result was a loss in one of the company's biggest clients. Looking up at Sylus Kesh recalls how interview after interview he was rejected, but then he came to this place. His interview didn't go well, but on his way out he bumped quite literally into Sylus. 

Immediately Kesh could tell he had run into a very important person, the girl at his side glaring down at him for an instant before looking to the tall male, asking I he was okay. The man however seemed to recognize him and without hesitation he knelt down and helped him to his feet. Kesh wanted to flee as fast as possible, but the black clad man wouldn't let go of his hand. As he looked up into those sharp eyes he felt so frightened but he did his best to not let it show. “What did you do to lose the client?”

The question shocked him, doing nothing to assuage his fear. However there was no contempt in the man's voice, only a pure and honest curiosity. Unable to think of anything better to say he'd summoned up all his courage and replied, “I did my best!” Sure he was going to get laughed at he braced himself. However the only response he got was a raised eyebrow, the look mirrored on the girl by his side. The man had released his hand and Kesh had all but bolt out of the building. However that evening there was a call, he'd gotten a job a the Takashi agency! When he came in the next day he'd been shown to a desk however he was not there more than a minute when he'd noticed just who was at the desk right next to his. 

He tried to ignore her, but after five minute she stood and pulled him out of his chair. He had raised a few objections but a moment later he spotted the tall man from before. The girl had dumped a bunch of folders into his arms and shoved him to Sylus's other side while so took up her position at Sylus's right elbow. Mimicking her at his other elbow he's walked with them for a while before the man addressed him directly. “Kesh, the finacials from august to october.” Almost automatically his eyes fell to the folders in his arms and in a flash he had them out and over to Sylus. “Thanks, now later I need you to correlate the rest and get the findings to the finance board, they are doing projections.” And just like that Kesh became Sylus's invaluable left hand in the company. While officially he's just a secretary or assistant, Kesh holds more sway over the company than all the section heads combined. 

[i]'I will never forget this opportunity he's giving me, to work here near the top'[/i] He finishes giving his reports for the day, Sylus giving him a couple more things to do before he can go home as he steps off the elevator. Kesh knows that he should stay on the elevator, Sylus wanting to do his nightly check on his own as always. “Yes sir, I'll make sure the reports are in.” He bows, reaching over to press the down button.

“Kesh, one last thing.” His hand pauses and he looks at his boss curiously. “Once Jully is done with her task I'd like you to bring the binder up here and place it on the desk up here for the newbie. Make sure it's in plain sight.” Kesh bows again, a smile on his lips as he presses the bottom and vanishes for view. 

Sylus makes his way into the large office at the end of the hall and lets out a huge sigh at the sight that greets him. Marius always wakes long before anyone else, working all day starting a good four hours before the first person even comes into work, which of course is Sylus himself. That being the case Sylus finds his dear friend in his current state more often than not. Marius is half laid on on his desk, his arms wrapped around to either side of his head, his face pressed firmly against the wooden surface. Under one hand is an open folder, his finger still pointing to a specific line, while his other hand rests lightly on his keyboard. Striding over Sylus glances at the screen and counts his blessings that other then a few odd letters at the very end all is well with whatever he was working on. He can not count the nights he's come into a mess of several pages of the same letter running on and on because he fell asleep on his keyboard with a key pressed. 

The smaller male is rather light, for Sylus at least, and he carefully lifts him up off the desk and picks him up into both arms. Making his way tot he plain door on the side of the room he maneuvers it open and slips inside. The small room is little bigger then one of the smaller offices on the lowest floors, with just enough room for a small sink and some cupboards along one wall, a small closet with a clothes rack along the back wall, and to the left is a queen sized bed in an alcove. The alcove doesn't have a low ceiling so Sylus has no problem leaning in to set his old friend down on the soft surface. [i]'You work too hard, moron'[/i] he chides silently, slowly stripping off Marius's layers until he's down to his unders. Like an exasperated mother he watches as the grown man rolls around in his sleep, whining until Sylus can get the covers over him. “Bakairou.” he mutters fondly before ruffling his hair and heading out. As he passes the secretary's desk out in the hall he smiles at the sight of the leather bound black binder sitting on the middle of the desk. Glancing over the cover he chuckles lightly and makes his way to the elevator. “[i]How to handle the President[/i] indeed.” he murmurs softly.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Marius wakes the next morning with a long sigh. He managed to not fall out of bed, but now his legs are so tangled in his sheets that when he tries to move he feels a twinge in his hip. With a few little grunts and growls he manages to free himself, his sheets now bunched up in mass at the end of his bed. [i]'I win!'[/i] he thinks fuzzily, his brain not quite working yet. As he stands up and begins getting ready for the day he has the nagging feeling that he's forgetting something important. It's not until he dressed and making his bed that it hits him. “That's right! New secretary today!” He smiles and finished folding his blankets at the foot of his bed. Putting them there makes it easier on Sylus, and Marius knows it. [i]'Let it not ever be said that I am not a kind boss'[/i] With that he slides out of the room, closing the door carefully before flipping on his coffee machine to heat the water he poured in it before sitting down to his last report the night before.
