As soon as the door closes behind him, Adrian drops into the chair opposite my desk without asking.
"I just got off the call with Singapore," he says.
"I know," I say.
"They're still nervous," he says.
"They'll survive. They always do," I say.
He takes a drink.
"I still think we should announce after the quarter closes," he says.
"We're not waiting," I say.
"They'll complain," he says.
"They always complain," I say.
Adrian laughs quietly.
"I keep forgetting optimism isn't one of your hobbies," he says.
"It isn't," I say.
He studies me for a second.
"You look tired," he says.
"I slept," I say.
"That's not what I asked," he says.
"I'm fine," I say.
"I'll take your word for it," he says.
He reaches for one of the briefing folders before I slide it farther across the desk.
"No," I say.
"I was only looking," he says.
"You were absolutely not only looking," I say.
He grins.
"There he is," he says.
"There who is?" I ask.
"My twin," he says.
I shake my head.
"You came in here for something," I say.
"I did," he says.
