2 SELF-DISCIPLINED MR. AARON

OUTSIDE MR. AARON LINCOLN'S OFFICE:

Mrs. George, with two other clients, was standing outside Aaron's office.

One of the clients groused, "There are only ten minutes left in the meeting and Mr. Aaron has still not arrived and our boss is waiting inside."

"Sir, He will arrive shortly, so let's relax and sit inside, Mr. Aaron is never late to a meeting!" Mrs. George informed them.

"I want you to check it just in case if…" The client was speaking when a helicopter's chopper sound quickly interrupted him.

"I told you Mr. Aaron is never late!" Mrs. George said proudly while looking at the helicopter.

A man in his mid-twenties, dressed in business casual, came out from the helicopter as it landed.

He was a male model, with scythe-shaped eyebrows, and with a stubble beard. His wrestler's shoulders were part of his burly physique.

He came near the clients, remove his aviator square, his brown eyes twinkled, cast a quick glance at them, and went towards his office, Mrs. George, security guards and two clients follow him. He attended the meeting and went back to his house.

The red-colored Mercedes-Benz cabriolet, soon received a call from Mrs. George, "Yes Mrs. George, I am home", He said. "Is the house clean? Please let me know if you enjoy the cuisine that our new chef prepared", Mrs. George said.

"Sure, I will call you back", he disconnected the call.

After entering the living room, he spotted the wall lamps and soon realized one of them had been slightly displaced from its original location. He looked at that with a serious expression and went over to it to reposition it.

The room was as modest as it could be, with just a double bed, a standing mirror, and a wall-mounted dressing table, so he went there and took off his topcoat. He touched the side table with the tip of his finger as he hung up his coat and quickly saw that it was dusty.

After changing these clothes, he headed to the kitchen. He remained there for a bit to make sure everything was in its proper position and soon notice a sticky note on the oven. He read the letter and then dialed Mrs. George's number.

"Mrs. George! Get a new cook! Thanks, have a good day" he said.

He then took the artichoke dolma (a Turkish cuisine) from the oven, served himself, smelled it, and bit into it. The flavor of the dish caused him to smile just a little.

AT Mr. AARON LINCOLN'S OFFICE:

While sitting on an executive chair, Aaron was reading the newspaper and on his other hand was a ball which he was continuously moving.

May I have a minute of your time, sir? He looked upward; Mrs. Gorge was standing in the doorway.

It should be a minute'! Aaron replied.

"Sir, today you have a meeting on the yacht at 11 am", she was about to leave when Aaron asked, "Did you find a new cook?"

"Not yet, but I assure you that in the afternoon I…", She was saying but was interrupted by Aaron, "I changed my mind, let her be, for now, just tell her to do her job and not write me notes.

"I will take care of it, Anything else?" Mrs. George asked.

"Yes, kindly replace the cleaner." He said and started reading the newspaper again.

AT NOON, IN A RESTAURANT:

Aaron was eating lunch with his friend, Erik.

"Why you did not come last evening? Where were you?" Erik asked.

"Home", Aaron replied while eating. "A new cook came, to test her cooking skills I asked her to make artichoke dolma, I give her eight out of ten" he added.

"Oh, seriously I am surprised, I mean she is the first who got eight out of ten, right?" Erik said with a smile.

"I believe she is an elderly woman, an experienced one because that dish requires a lot of patients, youth don't have the patience, but she has her own old rule", Aaron said and stood up to leave, "Come, Erik, we have a lot of reports to read and have to attend a number of meetings too."

THE COOKING INSTITUTION:

It was lunch break so Alayah was sitting with her friends.

"You won't believe that house has strange restrictions when everything is so carefully set up and you are not permitted to touch it.", Alayah said.

"I don't think that you will be able to stay for a long time then, ha-ha", his friend taunted her.

"Well, there are rules and it does seem like a military camp, but I don't care; if he doesn't like my rules and my ways, I'll quit because I'm not his slave and won't always do as he says", Alayah said.

"Do tell bout your boss", her friend said.

"I never met him, I do not think we will ever meet, but yes I saw him in the picture, he is an elderly person, I estimate that he will be in his fifties.", Alayah replied.

"Oh no, you just ruined my imagination", her friend replied.

"Argh, you and your imaginations", Alayah replied.
