Black Armani Tux and a Vuitton overcoat. A hidesign leather bag in his right hand and a starbucks coffee cup in his left. He looks up on his right. A billboard reflects in his half-rimmed glasses. As he walks his Blackberry curve 8330 rattles off voice messages( using the SpinVox Technology that converts text messages to voice). He throws the coffee mug in the dustbin on the one past Lexington Mall. Pulls aside his left sleeve to find out his Breitling Navitimer shout at him that he is running five minutes late.
He pushes the glass door gently. His eye meets the eyes of receptionist. A small nod from her and he goes to the mailbox to collect. Picks up a copy of WSJ from the stand as he jumps at the stairs.
Sound of a fast sequence of push of buttons and nine LCD screens come alive. He picks up the phone
"1000 calls at 75 on crude. Offload Motorola immediately. Swap 4 million at 4.5. 3000 swaptions on Lockheed at 5. 1500 butterflies at 100 on Cisco. 500 straddles at 82 on Northrup Grumman. Any complications let me know"
As he reads WSJ to find out Nigerian militants getting restless with the progress the rest of the world is making at the expense of their oil
"2000 more calls on crude"
"what?"
The phone is cut.
1 Pm."Its been a while we had chinese. More importantly its healthy. I want to get rid off the inch that I have gained in the last year."
"Girlfriend didnt approve huh?"
"Yeah, Trying out certain numbers had become difficult over the days"
