His office is located on the first floor of the building, everything decorated with tint glass. He could see the whole City from the right angle, with another long table which he guessed was for an urgent meeting.

An inner room is attached to the office, he smiled at that. He could be away from home for as long as he likes without anyone to question him, not even the contracted wife could. He smirks at the idea.
