"What the hell happened to you?"
Rollie walked into Klaus"s office to find his boss with his arm in a sling, a black eye, and numerous scratches crisscrossing his face.
"Oh, I had an accident."
Klaus was not a good liar. Even his pulverized face couldn"t hide the dishonesty of this explanation. Rollie laughed to himself. There was only one explanation that made sense. Someone had kicked Klaus"s ass and did a damn excellent job of it. His big mouth had finally found the wrong end of someone"s fist. Whoever was the assailant didn"t care one iota that Klaus was the powerful CEO of Phoenvartis.
Rollie decided to have some fun. "Did anyone else get hurt in the accident?"
Klaus reached for a cigar but realized he had only one good hand. "Rollie, will you unwrap this for me and light it?"
