Book Cover & Preview Text
...He continued jabbering on, but Meryl wasn't listening. Her mind drifted in association to another taxi ride. Henry had taken her to a ball game. It hadn't been her choice, but he had insisted that she get out more, stop worrying and working so hard. She remembered that after the game had ended, she had been amazed and stunned by her own enthusiasm in the game. Football was definitely not her idea of fun; yet being there with Henry had made all the difference. He had been kind to her that day.
She remembered other days; days when his testy nature had been overbearing. So much so, that she had almost quit her job many times. His overbearing attitudes had forced her to sharpen her wits and taught her not to expect gifts, so this particular trip had been a great surprise to her. It had been on their way home that he had suggested that she consider becoming a partner in his business.
In the past, he had often complained how alone he felt and expressed concern that there was no one to continue his business. On this particular day, he had repeated these thoughts and gone on to explain how he wasn't getting any younger which was why he wanted to share it with someone who was appreciative.
Meryl had been surprised that he had selected her. After all, there were others more suitable than she. Gary for example, had been with the firm a lot longer. Gary was always on the ball. His sales were always up and his clients were always on time with their payments. Not like hers. She had to poke and prod her clients all the way. She'd earned every penny she'd ever made for them and herself.
The advertising business was fickle. One minute 'butts' were in, the next they weren't. Last week it had been veils and scarves. Who knew what it would be next week. She'd always had to be ahead; put herself in the world's eyes and try to second-guess their every move. She'd prided herself on her success.
“Damn it,” she thought aloud. “Now it’s all going down the tubes...”
