I strode into John's office. He leaned back in his chair; feet propped up on the desk. He was too relaxed in my opinion.

I slapped a folio onto the desk in front of him before sitting on the edge. "We've got a ton of shit to do for the end of year, and you're daydre "Not daydreaming, just imagining all the glorious schadenfreude headed my way."

He pulled his feet down, and sat up, rolling his chair up to the desk.

"Sounds like you had an interesting holiday," I said.

"Interesting is a word. Took Jennifer up to meet Gemma. Did you know Katherine is still there? I thought she had left years ago."

"You're step-mom?" I shook my head. "You haven't mentioned her in years. So, Gemma? Your sister's back in the states?" I could barely reme of us tried to drown each other in the name of fun.

"She's been back since late September," he said as if I already knew.

"How is she?" I asked.

"She ruined herself in Europe. If you ask me, she should go back. It would be for the best." He opened the folio I had dropped and flipped thi now that we're engaged, she wants to do family things."

He spun in his chair and stopped to face me. "Can you believe it, they were in pajamas when we got there. They had the nerve to invite us for something truly disastrous, like invite either of them to help with wedding planning. I've contracted Suzanne Oliver to organize this wedding. "Not a clue, man," I admitted.

"Suzanne Oliver is the top fucking wedding planner in the city. In the City. Very exclusive, waiting list a mile long just to have a consultation v Wishful thinking was more like it. "Sounds like she got lucky."

"She did when I proposed. Do you ever think you're going to take the plunge?"

"What, get married? I'm married to CP Manhattan, and right now we need to go over some of this year end bullshit." CP Manhattan, the comp being in charge for the past ten years. This was a long-term relationship. I accepted that, and that's where my focus was. It was where I need "I need your attention, man. We are ending the year in bad shape, and we need to get some growth strategy going so that next year isn't a di that our marketing department has become."

"Marketing has always been a lame dick department. What did they waste my money on this time?"

"You do know that they are in your pipeline? You should be able to tell me what is going on with them."

He shrugged. "Why do we need a marketing department? The market and them both suck. They don't seem to be able to hit a trend lately."

"Marketing isn't all about trends." I shook my head. "John, when was the last time you checked in with your department heads?"

He shrugged. "Hey, you know who Theda Wu is, right?"

"Yeah, she's a designer. Are you bringing her in to help with our marketing department issues?"

He scoffed. "Don't be dumb."
