Chapter 18 - Tyler

I had a lot on my mind, and that puts it lightly. Maya took off because she was mad when she found out the truth about Veronica. Veronica is one of my biggest regrets. I wish I never dated her.

Even though I broke up with her a while ago, her presence still haunts my life. The latest example was the fact that she spilled the beans on being a former girlfriend. I made it worse by lying to Maya. I didn’t expect Veronica to run into Maya again, so I thought I played it well.

I was wrong. I don’t know why that damned Veronica kept showing up all over the place. I’m suspicious that she’s been stalking me, but I can’t prove it. Even if I could prove it, it probably wouldn’t change very much. I still lied to Maya, and she was still upset at me.

Yet again, it was a matter of damage control. I had to figure out a way to sooth the blow, and redirect the blame. I had to lie to the board. I had no choice.

The tough part about lying is that one lie covers up another, and covers up another. It keeps growing until it is huge in size. It’s a bit like a snowball. The whole matter might start out with a white lie, and then get huge very quickly.

Although, my former relationship with Veronica wasn’t exactly a white lie. It was enormous, and I tried to hide it from Maya. I was starting to care for her, and God help me, I actually wanted to have a relationship with her.

That’s why I tried to deflect my past and hide things from her. If I did that without screwing it up, I would be golden. Then the two of us might have a chance.

I fucked it up and she found out, so she took off. That meant I had to come up with a story for the board. Despite my stress and lack of sleep, I knew that it would look weird if she was suddenly gone. The board would expect to see her with me. What would they think if she wasn’t there?

So, the lying continued. I gave a rousing speech about my company, our goals, and our vision for the future. Basically, there were just a few things on the list we wanted to accomplish. Admittedly, they are big things, but there aren’t that many.

First, we wanted to grow our company and get a larger share of the market. Of course, that would be challenging and would take a number of achievements to complete. We needed to land new contracts, hire quality people, and listen to demand from our clients.

We wanted to make more money, obviously. A sluggish and poor business isn’t focused on making more money. They just drift along and stay satisfied. That’s a bad idea, because someone else is going to be fighting with a goal to make more money. Eventually, that leads to businesses filing bankruptcy.
