Businesswoman Chapter 132
First Tier Executive
A brown skinned woman, tallish with delicate facial features and ample bosom and posterior and a thin waist kissed Atkinson on the cheek before leaving his house in Newark, Delaware. Loreen looked at the woman entering a rideshare vehicle. Atkinson grinned. Loreen shook her head.
She entered the space. It looked sparse like any bachelor pad but it had been dotted with sculptures and paintings. A table made from an oak tree complimented the living room.
“I’ve gotta tell you Paul, this is way different from how you used to live.”
“Did you want a drink?” he asked.
“No, I won’t stop ‘til Thursday. So explain to me how you live in such ‘modesty.’”
Atkinson grinned. “I tried the cars, clothes, jewelry, houses, yachts, all of that. I felt unfulfilled. The art you see around us is highly valuable, hundreds of millions at least. They’re worth more than the rent I pay on this pad. Now, I’m concerned with thought. That’s what motivates me and inspires me. I do enjoy small pleasures as you’ve seen,” he suggested. “But that’s it. I know better, now. I’ve grown.”
“I see, so you won’t accept this,” Loreen dangled a watch in front of his face.
“That’s a First Tier Executive. Case size forty millimeters. Gem set bezel. Thanks for the gesture, Lor’, but I can’t take that. Give it to Herschel.”
Loreen sighed. “You really are committed to this way of life.”
“Of course. Once you have sipped all the finest wines and dined at the best restaurants, you want more. And that, to me, are ideas.”
loreen changed gears. “I see. Well, we should probably be going over our speeches. We’re going to be synching up together. Lisa will be….”she paused. The door rang.
“Hi, Lisa. Come in, please.”
“Thank you, again.”

When the trucks had done their dance on the superhighway connection, Felton Sheltham knew he had to locate his soul. Though he no longer sat in the driver’s seat, the constant tug at his mind persisted. The work, on the surface, seemed easy. He relished it. But at the same time the labor proved to be intensive and even grueling at times. His large hands which gripped steering wheels in the past now became second to his brain chip which governed the various vehicles. The man who owned the trucking company wanted to meet Sheltham in person. He had taken notice of the man’s resolve and unyielding integrity. Sheltham had been called to the c-suite and sat at a chair in the glass enclosed room.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 13: You May As Well As Be In The Army Now!
The next day began at dawn. Since the squad was not assigned to a mission outside the fort, today would start as a regular day. This meant an hour of exercise in the morning. Fortunately, it was a light day for the squad, consisting of little more than push-ups and sit-ups followed by a short two-mile run.
