Un Homme Pressé – Extrait 54
knowing each other before this night. Back to work, Mr. Henry switches on his computer, starts to grasp the feelings of the day. Three hours after, Xavier arrives at the reception. Xavier Hiya, got a pack for Henry Sarah - Mister Henry. Xavier Yeah, him, What times is it? My watch went broke two months ago. Sarah - Twenty to twelve, Mister Xavier- Shit, euh Damn, I am late another time, Sarah Well, yes dont worry, Mr. Henry looks like he has other things on his mind, He is locked in his office since this morning, and didnt go out at all. Surprising, normally work does not take the much stake on him, it must be private. Xavier goes to Mr. Henry s office. This latter is speaking at the phone, a pencil on his other hand that keeps beating on the desk. Xavier- Sir Henry, one postage for you, please sign here. No answers, Mr. Henry mumbles. He opens the package quickly and goes back to his computer. On that, Xavier goes out on a final word. Xavier- Thanks, Tell me you have the face of greatest days Mr. Henry I beg your pardon ?!? Xavier- Nothing, I was just wondering that you werent looking happy. Mr. Henry Yes, private worries Xavier Family? Mr. Henry Yes, my son, he is emancipating more and more. I couldnt remember myself being that uncontrollable. Tell me, how old are you, Mister ? Xavier Twenty-six. Mr. Henry Ah, interesting, tell me, what do you do apart from the daily work? Xavier Well, thats gonna discredit me even more. Mr. Henry You know, with the credit you have, you wouldnt be able to pay for a call. Xavier - Ok, I dont know, the morning I wake up, I am leaving the alarm ringing to enjoy the music and then my phone rings given I am mainly already late. Mr. Henry Come up to the facts, what did you do yesterday evening? Xavier Well, I came back from work, took a shower and enjoyed a deep blunt silence by the door of my flat. I enjoyed a feg and looked to the moon settling herself for her midnight scene. Once I am good and relaxed, I am going for a drink at the pub. Mr. Henry And there ? Xavier In general, either friends are joining me in, or a discussion is starting with people around. Mr. Henry My son came back late this morning. I was taking breakfast, and he was showing insane and exhausted eyes. It is not possible to speak to him, neither to ask him questions. From what I gathered, he met somebody and spent the night across the town. And you, why do you have this exhausted face? Xavier answered disturbed while walking to the door. Xavier Hmm, Please sign here Mr. Henry, Many Thanks Mr. Henry Please answer me, youre afraid of what? Xavier Oh, I dare not to be afraid, still dont know if its the perfect place to speak. So yesterday, I went to a pub as per usual. I went to a night out with a friend. You know, youve been young as well. Mr. Henry Well, I must have forgotten Xavier What? Forgetting the sixties like that? Whenever my parents are telling me what not to do, I always had a smile from that coming to me. Mr. Henry Well, yes, still a generality Xavier Ok, between us, I went to one party, got invited to another one, this way till late this morning, and now I am meant to be working. Mr. Henry What a picture you are giving about youth! Xavier Oh, a picture, Id rather have the soundtrack. The only thing I know is that I am into good at staying focus too long. My eyes are escaping the front. Mr. Henry Too bad, it would give sense to what you have to say Xavier You know, Silence is made of gold and discussions are most of the time staying misunderstood. So here I come, disconnected from reality. Mr. Henry Thanks for your honesty. So, its part out experience, a social learning I shouldnt look to correct. Xavier Have a nice day. If you want, come and join
