Chapter 148

• That Monday morning, Maximilien had a meeting with the company's board of directors first thing in the morning and he was really indisposed, he had a knot in his stomach since the night before and the lack of sleep had him really bad, how could he concentrate that day?
• He finished getting ready, perfumed himself, and left his room, he feared meeting Roshene in any of the hallways, although it was still very early and she would probably be asleep. He didn't have breakfast, he had no appetite, his driver already had the car ready and in a matter of minutes, he arrived at the office.
• The meeting started on time, as the president, he was the first to speak, his speech was very brief and precise, when it was the turn of the others and he sat down to listen, he lost concentration and the sense of time, he was absent, pensive, taciturn, at times he remembered where he was, what he was doing and contributed a comment here and there, however, he easily got distracted again, remembering that kiss, that damn kiss.
