The team was more than capable of handling the negotiations. Of course, having the big boss there would smooth things over, but was that small advantage worth interrupting his boss’s budding romance?
Until he met Marguerite, Kim hadn’t understood why George had been canceling all his trips. Now it was perfectly clear. This relationship was important. It was his first, after all. A twenty-nine-year-old’s first love. Kim had to stifle a laugh sometimes. He had been with the company for a long time and had once asked George if he’d ever dated. The answer was no. That was probably why S.S. Capital was so successful. While other people were falling in love, getting married, and having kids, George was making money.
But he wasn't laughing now. Had they fought? Fights needed to be resolved face-to-face. Distance was dangerous.
His boss was a hopeless romantic; this relationship had to be protected. Kim decided to try to intervene.
[The Veridia trip will be a long one. At least a month, maybe as long as six. Are you sure you want to go, sir?]
George knew how long the trip would be. His fingers tightened around his phone.
[Yes.]
Kim’s world came crashing down. It was over. Had Ms. Lopez dumped his boss? His boss was so in love. How could she be so cruel?
But the decision had been made. There was nothing an assistant could do. Besides, he wanted to go to Veridia to buy his girlfriend a new handbag.
[Alright, I’ll make the arrangements. What time should I pick you up tomorrow?]
George sat on the sofa and glanced up the stairs. [Before six.]
He would leave before she woke up. If he saw her, if he heard her voice one more time, he wouldn’t be able to leave.
He closed his chat with Kim and opened one with his butler.
[Tell the chef he doesn’t need to come tomorrow morning.]
The butler, also a night owl, was watching a drama on his phone. He chuckled. [Are you planning to cook yourself again, sir?]
George: [No, I won’t be cooking either.]
