A Friendly Face
He sits in his chair by his desk and puts his head in his hands. After the incident with the General, he is not sure what the future holds for him. There is simply no way he can participate in that project. He sits in his chair, face in his hands, and tries to find a way out of this conundrum. After a while, he falls asleep on the desk, still entraped by the thoughts that plague his mind.
Deep in sleep, he does not notice that someone has entered his office is standing right behind him until she shakes his shoulders a bit. Startled, he almost falls out of his chair before collecting himself. He turns around to find one of the most beautiful women he has ever known standing in front of him. Even though he has seen her many times before, he always seems to need to take a moment to remember exactly what she looks like. The way her auburn hair falls over her shoulders and how her brown eyes can just take hours away from him. He has always found it hard not to smile when she is near. And, without fail, a smile broadens on his face despite all that has happened to him today.
"Good to see you can still smile," she says as she smiles back at him. A smile that can make men melt in an instant.
"I don't know why I am smiling. I really have nothing to smile about anymore."
She looks concerned for a moment before carefully responding to him, "I heard that you had a verbal dustup with the General."
"Yes, the guay toh guay nown has it in his head that I'm going to do this new project of his and I simply cannot do something like that," his anger growing as he thinks more about it.
"Before you go mental on me, tell me what he asked you to do."
"You really don't want to hear this, trust me," he says knowing that she will insist anyway and that he really should tell someone just to get some of the burden off his shoulders.
She knows that he's expecting her to ask about it again. But, she is curious and concerned all at once, "What did he ask?"
He pauses for a moment, considering fighting her on this one. The project is so repulsive to him that he doesn't want to talk about it. Yet, he needs to talk about it to not be the only person on his side of the argument, "Ok, well, where to begin?"
Translations:
guay toh guay nown - conniving or scheming person, literally: "ghost head and ghost brain"
