His office was kept dark with only minimal lighting, it was the way he preferred to work. Peaceful. The man behind the desk believed in not being disturbed when he worked, unless for good reason. So when his cell rang, a private number no less, he expected important news. Flipping the device open he held it up and answered with a simple, "Tseng."
"Yo boss!"
Where it in his nature to groan he would have done so now at the voice coming through all too loud and clear.
"Reno. I should hope for the sake of your job that you have something of great importance to discuss with me as I had asked to be left alone for the hour."
One hour. It was all he asked for, was it really too much? His free hand lifted to rub at his temples as he braced himself for a response, figuring it would be something trivial.
"...'course it is! I'm callin' cause I need ta know how much out of the budget I can spend on personal stuff. Ya know?"
If only Reno could be there in person he could strangle the man himself. Sadly he was not in arms reach. Eyes closed as he took a calming breath, voice coming out stern and not at all pleased.
"Reno...let me make it abundantly clear. You are not to use ShinRa's funds without prior authorization and absolutely not for personal use. I should think that would be common sense to you by now, you have greatly displeased me by interrupting my personal time for this. Is that all?"
"Hey! I know that, yo. I was calling for the authorization, geez, I ain't that dumb. 'far as personal use goes....a man's gotta eat. So...can I have some money to order us a pizza then?"
He wanted to smash his forehead into the desk's top but refrained from such silly actions. Reno was giving him enough of a headache without bashing himself.
"No."
With that he clicked the phone closed, eyed it a moment then turned the damn thing off. He was getting his hour of peace and quiet and be damned whomever decided to interrupt him again.
