"Sir! Welcome back. I'm glad to see you're feeling better," Blake greeted as I stepped into his office.
I simply nodded, suppressing the desire to cough. While I was feeling better than the last couple of days, my body was still aching, and I constantly had to fight the lingering weakness.
"Give me an update on the last few days. I want to know what I missed," I said, taking a seat across from him.
"Right away. I'll begin with the largest projects first. Project X is still a while away...."
Blake spent the next hour going through everything that had happened while I was sick in bed. One of his special skills was just this: the ability to identify the important matters and summarize them for me.
He's helped me out on more than one occasion with this helpful ability of his. Not a single extra word was spoken, clearly painting a picture of what had happened.
After he finished his report, he looked at me with slight confusion in his eyes.
"Was there anything else?" he asked.
