Alexander Knights’s work had not been the best place for him this week. He went through heaven and hell, as first, he was promised a promotion but now, due to unpredicted events, his job position seems in danger; he couldn’t help but think they were going to fire him. With today’s economy, things could get real bad, real fast. His mood wasn't the greatest, there was a string of hope, as his girlfriend was to arrive soon though.
Now he was sitting at his dinning table, all alone in his house. He had just hung up the phone. His face was blank and expressionless. It had been his girlfriend that had called him to cancel their weekend, which was a fate he finally accepted. Isabelle was an actress that was touring in New York and all the northern region of the States, they had landed a new city to expose their play, so she was obligated to stay yet another week. Alexander and Isabelle had been separated for about a month and a half already, his needs were stacking, and he would probably crack soon if he didn’t blow his steam somewhere… anywhere, really.
His mind wrestled around his job again for a few minutes. The problem they had would be his responsibility, one of his workers made the fluke, but he would be blamed for it, of course. Alexander got up and went to his alcohol cabinet. He took out a bottle of whisky, and a whisky glass. After passing by the large metallic fridge, he placed three ice cubes in the cup, and let the alcoholic beverage pour into his cup. The glass was half-filled when he stopped and placed the bottle back down.
He took one, two, three sips and ... a second glass of thinking when finally his attention was broke. His phone called, it was his daughter, he hadn’t seen her much this week, and he knew that she would come up with some excuse to spend time with him or get him to buy her something, and this week he had neglected her. Alex slid his iPhone to get the call, “Hey there sweaty, what’s up?” He asked her. His low toned voice was extra low today, due to him being tired, yet he projected a genuine sense of happiness upon being reminded of her.
