Chapter 38: Audrey\r\n\r\nI was then thirty-two. I had married at twenty-four and divorced at twenty-eight. My ex and I mistook lust for love. When the lust was satisfied we had nothing else so we went our separate ways as friends. We had talked about having a family but realized early neither of us wanted children; which turned out to be a blessing. \r\n\r\nEvery once in a while my ex and I had fucked until she re-married.\r\n\r\nI had concentrated my efforts on my career and had risen in the company hierarchy within three rungs off the top.\r\n\r\nThen I was fired. \r\n\r\nI was stunned.

However a conglomerate owned our company and his father owned the conglomerate. \r\n\r\nRandall did not try to hide that he was in over his head and simply relied on Audrey and me to steer him straight. We seldom agreed on what straight was but Randall did have the ability to see both paths clearly and pick the right one. \r\n\r\nHe was an excellent administrator.\r\n\r\nThe two people that ranked between him and me were corporate lackeys for his father.
