While he was meeting with clients and conducting company meetings, he would often suddenly gaze into an empty space, his eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.
Even when Ms. Taylor came to Steve Burton in the afternoon to have documents reviewed and signed, Steve finished checking the documents and quickly wrote three characters on them with a whoosh.
He wrote quickly, and Ms. Taylor couldn’t see exactly what he had written. As Steve closed the documents and handed them to Ms. Taylor, he suddenly seemed to remember something, opened the documents, glanced at the signature column, and his brow furrowed slightly.

By the afternoon, Steve’s “machine gun” had attacked the offices of Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine. The four usually spent their free time in Steve’s office, but after being scolded twice, they considered the area within thirty meters of Steve’s office a restricted zone.
