OCEANS.
We had to leave DC for Manhattan immediately after my call with Reeves, because Ken called as soon as Reeves dropped the call to tell me one of our investors, Bowman, was about to pull out to join one of our rival companies.
That's one thing I didn't tolerate.
I didn't think about DC on the flight back. I had Bowman's report to read, three calls to make, and a situation to contain.
The Bowman situation had been straightforward enough to resolve by the time my car pulled into the parking lot.
I stepped out, buttoned my jacket, and walked into the building.
I had a desk full of work waiting, a meeting first thing tomorrow morning, and a contract that needed reviewing before midnight. The DC trip had cost me two days I didn't have to spare, and I intended to recover them tonight
