It was a late afternoon when he finds himself in amid of heated debate amongst his colleagues in the tilted glass door of his boss's office.

'Is it because of the recent appointment she made against the nomination the committee made?'

The thought came across swiftly.

"Nay..."

He instantly shook his head because that would be unprecedented. And everything is precedent here at the campus. Like any other crown hierarchies with the reputable history, it is unheard of to witness things that do not carry the proven evidence.

'We just don't do things that are not proven!' 

He, then quickly walked to his desk where is located in the back of the office and also is cornered, facing outside and opened up his computer.  Unlike the others, he would have to turn on four monitors, each of which is dedicated to each major stock markets across the world. He had to pester a few weeks to have his financial manager agree to buy those monitors for him. Well.. that said, he was about to ask one more solely dedicated to rising African market. Then, it would complete his grandeur plan of having each for each continent in the world! He felt this smile spread across his wide face where two jaws were overly developed but nicely covered with beard. This feature signified his masculinity.

Each time he turn on the monitors, the memories brought him right back to the time he was a wanderer. Who would've ever guessed this clean-cut financier working at the Wall Street was once a man who grew dreadlock up to 20 inches and didn't bother sleeping on the street when he felt like. It was a temple where he met Monk Hyebok. He would have stay there for a tea ceremony that was organized by the Seoul Municipality.  He would have never seen that kind of tranquility nor found such profound peace in his mind. The cock crows telling the break of each dawn was even pleasant in his ears as it comes with such soothing yet awakening scent from inscents and chantings sound like a lullaby.
