Businesswoman Chapter 235

For all his business sense, the simple art of putting on cuff links eluded Entrepreneur Paul. He still refused to wear a tie and only rented the suit. At the onset of the evening, he held in his mind the thank you speech he would deliver.

In his mind, he held in esteem Loreen and Lisa of course, but also his business partner Humphry Cantor who was ninety four and still as sharp as a shard of glass. He couldn’t make it to Delaware from California due to physical health concerns. Atkinson felt relieved that the event would be broadcast live on the Internet.

A yellow woman named Kina wearing nothing but heels and a smile. She sang in Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean. She wrapped her arms around Entrepreneur Paul, and kissed his ear.

“I know you want to play, darling. But this night is special. Get dressed.”

Kina sulked. Then she started the shower. She laid out her dress and retrieved her undergarments. A song still hung in the air as she walked from the bedroom to the bathroom.

Atkinson memorized what he would say and made sure that he included his father as well. This would be key. More than Cantor, Loreen or anyone, he above all had to thank his dad.

He sipped sparkling water. The coolness coupled with the bubbles proved to be a sensation he relished. As Kina took her shower, he still grappled with his links. His father, ninety, still has his mind, too. He would actually be somewhere in the crowd, as hale as a dolphin.

In the past, he had experienced clashes with Simon Atkinson. His business acumen had never prevented him from caring for Entrepreneur Paul and his sisters. At last, Atkinson got the links. Kina switched off the water. Atkinson straightened.
