Chapter 24—Restraint
Late into the night, the place started to morph once again, this time into a lounge with upbeat jazz as the music. A new batch of patrons started to flock in, the hip and young, the Gina kind of crowd. The servers cleared up some space for a dance floor. Gina wasn't sure what would be next. She hoped it didn't end too early.
He was thinking how convenient his pad would be. All they had to do was to walk out, ride on an elevator to the penthouse and they would be there. The same ritual as with all others. No, I can't do that. I shouldn't. When? Never? Not tonight. No. He was struggling. Before his mind agreed, his anxiety had spoken,
"I'll take you home."

THE BOSS Chapter 25—Being
Dungi was sweating, the palms of his hands were wet. His vision was getting blurry. Tears were forming. He held it back; he had to hold it, they must not know. He looked at his wife and son who were still absorbed in the menu, oblivious to the change of mood in Dungi, oblivious to his problems to procure for his family beyond his means—a vice Dungi let them keep so he could reign King of the Hill. He put the phone down slowly, and grabbed the menu to cover his face with it—of course, under the pretext of assessing choices for the most sumptuous lunch. As he glimpsed over its contents, Dungi just realized how exorbitant the prices were, as were the others he and his family had frequented for three-time-a-day meals: breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.&nbs
THE BOSS Chapter 26—One Down
Suddenly Adrian wasn't so sure. He looked at Abram for support, but Abram pretended to look elsewhere. Adrian swallowed, "I can't say beyond what I have said. Let's see how things go, ok?" Well, well, someone is on his own, Rhonda smiled inwardly and applauded her friend. No, not ok, Gina said. They would not pour substantial resources to go through the bidding process against Kronos beyond due diligence. They needed to know if Trelleco management would throw their support behind her company so they could avoid the lengthy and costly process of selection. "I can't promise that." Gina and The Boss had anticipated this development. They had run
THE BOSS Chapter 27—One That Leads
He sat on his throne, a big leather chair behind his big table, waiting for her to come in anytime now. He could hear the taps of her stilettos on the wooden floor furnishing the executive quarters, and saw her walk towards his office with quick steps, briefly stop at Linda's desk, and continue the sway of her long legs in the direction of his office when his secretary motioned her to go in. Her smile was already forming as she entered, and widened as she neared; the taps of her shoes silenced instantly as they sank into the plush carpeting of The Boss' office. "I actually threatened the CMO of a Fortune 100 company and it worked!" Gina exclaimed—referring to the meeting that afternoon. Her eyes were flashing with excitement, her entire face lit up. She put her hands on his desk and leaned forward, bringing her fac
THE BOSS Chapter 28—First Kiss
The phone call with Abram ended soon with the two gentlemen agreeing to meet again that week to discuss the next step. The Boss punched in the extension to Linda,"No more interruptions. Just take everything down for now. Thanks, Linda." He then turned his full attention back to Gina. He saw her glass was empty and asked if she wanted another, to which she nodded and replied, "Yes, please."As he handed her the glass, his fingers lightly brushed over hers; she asked, "Oh, could I have three olives, this time?" He cocked an eye at her but complied without a word and handed her the glass for the second time. She took a sip of her martini and slid one olive into her mouth."Okay, so where were we?""I was just about to tell you about Adrian's reaction." Ah yes, that fool."Right. So?""Well, I tried to remind them, not so subtly, of our good relationship. Of what we've built over the years with them. But Adrian was being dismissive and
THE BOSS Chapter 29—Reflections
She now had a purposeful life. A sense of beginning, middle, and end. No matter how trivial the end was, or how short the trip could be, it would be eventful, because she was going to move along with full awareness; because her mind would not be tired of forever being alert even to the tiniest joy; because now her heart wanted to savor every moment—moments which many might see as being all the same. From then on, she would truly experience her days, and her life had just become a journey. All this because of a kiss? But that wasn't a kiss like thousands of other kisses she had had. That was a kiss of profound depth; one that wasn't planned but happened, one that originated from the lips but felt as if from everywhere in her being.
THE BOSS Chapter 30—Dismayed
Abram witnessed how his friend was lost in his thoughts, unmindful of his presence. This was not the reason he wanted to meet him tonight, he regretted having troubled him. He had shared his enthusiasm about Gina's competence too far. "Georg, forget about it. That is not the reason I asked to meet you tonight. We were supposed to meet again this week, but then the secretary brought something up to my attention this evening, and I thought, if you could make it tonight, why not tonight?" "Alright. Tell me." "In a week there'll be a meeting with key shareholders. We have all but Colin lined up to support your company as our partner for the Indonesia proje
THE BOSS Chapter 31—What Rhonda Wants
"What is it, Rhonda?" he asked, pouring his drink. She walked into his office, with long strides and an upright posture. She wanted to catch him before he was gone again. She had been trying to get a private moment with him for the past two days—and one was finally there. He motioned her to sit. He sat himself down, too, with a drink in his hand—something to do when awkward moments came along. His usual smile when he greeted her was absent. She noticed that. "Well, I have been with you for almost three weeks now," she said, sitting across from him on the other side of his enormous desk. Tense shoulders, strong bare arms, her elbows on the armrests. She did not lean back on the comfortable leather chair. "Yes, probably. I don't count the days. Cigar ok?" Without waiting for her answer, he lit his stubby cigar. She nodded, racing with his torch—her approval had to count. "May I know if I am doing ok by y
THE BOSS Chapter 32—Depravity
The usher walked them through a narrow, dimly lit hallway, making several turns until they reached what seemed to be the end of the labyrinth. She opened the thick door to a huge room, and closed it quickly once they were inside. The room was dominated by red, Rhonda felt the space was both warm and discomforting at the same time. It had a well-appointed bar and a bartender, and three more doors other than the entrance. From the sign on one of the doors, she knew it was a bathroom, but she wasn't sure where the other two doors would lead to. The carpet was plush, and the lighting was generous but subdued. She felt the floor engulf her dainty feet, freed her of her stilettos and devoured her naked soles. The mixture of scents of the pouring alcohol, leather, and cigars, together with the sight of scantily clad waitresses hustling and bustling, presented a luxury that pampered the luscious imagination. Seated around a large sectional sofa were a group of suit
