Water issued forth like from a spring. Entrepreneur Paul enjoyed the gush of liquid spraying on his face. He had just shaved off his beard and he smoothed his hands over his chin. He opened up the mirror cabinet. A chuckle escaped his throat.

He wondered how many boards he sat on that produced the items in his cabinet. He had even been chairman of a few of them. He closed the mirror and proceeded to dress. Denim jeans, t-shirt blazer with no tie, and sneakers remained his uniform.

He embarked on his next adventure with bravado. His stride looked every bit of the money in his bank account. When he finally reached his destination, he walked into a crowd of people already assembled around an oak table. Nothing started without him. He had not been late but they had been ahead of time waiting for his arrival.

“Mr. Atkinson, what is the best way to handle the helicopter company?” One of the members of the board asked.

“We do nothing.”

The heads turned on a swivel.

“Do what, now?”

“We don’t do anything. The shareholders are going to get a great heap of money with the maintenance, repairs, and other expenditures that go along with these aircraft. So again, I say we don’t do anything.”

“I beg to differ, Mr. Atkinson,” Miss Daverney Nolton objected.

“Oh,” Entrepreneur Paul acknowledged with a small grin.

“If we don’t do anything, we’re going to have lawsuits and worse on our hands. Just think of the taxes alone….” she continued.

“There will be no lawsuits. Those birds fly just as well with our pilots helming them. The deluge of legalese can be interpreted by our team of attorneys. There is no fire. At least no helicopter fires,” Entrepreneur Paul announced to them all.
