He got up, and before heading to his study, he turned towards me. “Actually, there are still some things I need to deal with. I’ll try to get it done asap, and see you in a bit.”

Regardless, I went to the kitchen, made some spaghetti, and brought it upstairs.
The door was left ajar, and I could see him on the phone.
I wasn’t sure what the conversation was about. The fountain pen in his hand landed so heavily on the contract that it pierced through it. The ink spread into quite a sizeable area from the persistent pressure. Something vexatious was brewing.
Those solemn dark eyes of his noticed what’d happened, but his hand was still driving the pen deeper into the table.
“Are you done?” Fury shadowed his face.
The person on the other end of the line seemed to sense the tightness in his voice. Nevertheless, the conversation continued.
“Brothers? Him and I? You don’t know what the market is like,” Ashton growled.
