Engin quickly opened the door and rushed into the meeting room. He was the last one to arrive.
The meeting was delayed for a full hour because of him. His partner said "You are late again" and showed Engin the time. The best ideas here come from me and this business makes profit thanks to me, Engin said, getting angry. He said, "I think it's worth it, even if you have to wait an hour or more," and sat down. He presented the commercial scenario he prepared, it was really nice, one of his assistants wanted to point out a point he found missing, according to him, the music he used in the commercial might be repulsive or confusing to people, because the music attracted more attention than the product. With a sarcastic smile on his face, Engin ended the meeting by telling the assistant to keep his thoughts to himself, along with many things that would humiliate him despite his experience in music. When he went home in the evening, his wife welcomed him. His wife was also working, working as a lawyer. As he started to explain a problem he had during the day, he interrupted his wife and accused her of being too emotional and weak. He started acting like he knew more about law than her, talking about how famous he would be if he had pursued this profession and how there would be no case he couldn't win. He didn't like anything his wife said and always criticized him. After silencing his wife in this way, he talked about his achievements that day and how much the people around him admired him. The admiration on his wife's face made him feel very good. When his wife started talking about the award his former partner received this year at dinner, angry words came out of Engin's mouth, he was very angry. He said that she actually stole his ideas, that he got that award by cheating, and that he was actually a failure, and went to his room. He was very angry about the reward his former partner received. He was the best in this regard. Thinking that he had won that award by who knows what tricks he used, he took two sleeping pills and fell asleep.
