weird asks meme: 2 & 21 for Bobert and 7 & 14 for Gillian :D
2) What’s the average length of a shower for you? A bath?
“Ah yes, the sanctum of the shower. Birthplace of some of mankind’s brightest ideas”, the ginger chuckled as his hands slid into his pockets.
“As much as I don’t agree with all of those unnecessary and outmoded rites Morgan tried to con me into, the day has to start with a thorough shower. Some evil tongues might say too thorough…”, with his right hand the tycoon adjusted his charcoal tie, inspecting his own reflection in the vast window in his office.
“’Clothes maketh the man’, and this obviously includes the state of one’s body. You can wear the finest clothes but if this is not accompanied with proper grooming, it’s all pointless. I cannot give you exact time frames, but I’m certainly not just jumping in and out. However, a bath is something different, a dedicated time and place which could occupy the entire evening.”
21) How many people have you thought “Glad I don’t have to interact with them ever again” about?
“This is a rhetorical question, right? You don’t seriously expect me to dedicate my time to create this imaginary and impractical list. A man of my position shakes more hands than a traveling salesman. Everyone I meet, everyone I smile at just a means to an end, a useful tool until it becomes dull and broken.
The thought in your question emerges the second a meeting is done, the door opens and goodbyes are said. Fortunately enough, I can simply pass on the dreadful communication work to my staff once the initial interaction is over. I do not have the time deal with those pawns who see themselves as kings. They should be grateful for the little time I have granted them.”
7) What’s a funny mistake you’ve made recently?
“Guess triggering a devastating earthquake killing millions doesn’t count, right?” while her tone was casual and humorous, there was a certain seriousness hidden among it. “Relax, I was just joking. They always say jokes are the best free medicine around and we might need more of that soon.”
The CEO’s neck cracked loudly as she was leaning her head back and forth, left to right.
“We all do things that fall under that category on a daily basis. It is part of being human, is it not? Just this morning I accidentally threw my spoon into the trash bin and the teabag into the dishwasher instead of the other way round. I guess my mind has been occupied with something else…”
14) How many friends do you have that don’t live in the same country as you?
“The wiser question would be: How many friends do live in the same country? Places don’t have a meaning to people like us, we are restless travelers of this earth and nowadays, even beyond that. The final frontier is shifting.
Well, obviously there is my husband who lives on a different continent. Good old uncle Stanton who probably never left his beloved city in my lifetime, Morgan in Montr-”, her voice stopped before she could name the city. For a second, her eyes were wide open before she closed them. A deep breath, her lean fingers rubbing over the skin beneath her nose.
“Forgot what I just said and let me refrain my previous statement. The real question should be: How many friends do I have?”
