For a couple of weeks, Charles and Yolanda were not on speaking terms and slept on separate bedrooms. One thing he looked forward to, was his new career and colleagues. He met with the owners of the food factories and informed them about the subsidy they'd receive. The next day he sent his subordinates to Westville, to collect all the mining equipment and bring it to Appian for refurbishments. He stepped inside Roger's office and handed him report findings and recommendations.

'Have a seat Charles,' Roger said. Charles shrugged. Then pulled the chair and sat.

He opened the report, skimmed through the contents and threw it to the table.

'It seems everything is in order. I will go through it tonight.'

'Alright, what happens next?' Charles asked.

'I will give you feedback tomorrow and if I'm happy with it. I will forward it for recommendation and authorisation.'

'To whom?'

'Your wife, your boss, our boss,' he said with a grin on his face. He stood up, opened the liquor cabinet.

Charles smiled.

'Whiskey?' he offered.

'Please.'

He pulled out a bottle, opened it, and poured it on 2 glasses on the table. He closed it with a cap and placed it back to the cabinet.

'I understand you used to be a tutor at a university in your previous life?' he handed him the glass.

'Once upon a time yes. It's a pity universities are extinct.' Charles shrugged as he received the glass of whiskey

'At least you have a job.'

'I guess you right,' he took a sip and sighed.

'I am right, you should count yourself extremely lucky to be employed in this god forsaken country.'

He nodded as he took another sip. 'Sometimes I wonder, how did earth end up the way it is today?'
