    As the elevator doors closed, he turned to ask Mrs. Rusnik who she was, but the secretary was on the phone. Deciding it was unimportant for the moment, he entered his office, shutting the door and trying to mentally prepare himself for the meeting ahead.
    Going through the papers that had been piled on his desk, he briefly wondered how the American was doing, and then became focused on the latest financial reports. The format was slightly different and he made a note to discuss it with the directors who might have made such a change.
    Dmitry liked things to run smoothly, and part of that was based on consistency. He didn’t mind a new format, but would have liked to have been informed that a change was coming first. He would find out who made the changes and then make sure they understood he wanted those types of things approved by himself. After all, the reporting format was his and he thought it was fine!
