The boardroom was abuzz with rumours, but they have nothing to do with me. I’m being very careful not to let the cat out of the bag. It’s an interesting metaphor and for some reason, makes me smile.

“I brought you all in here because I want to make this public.” I look at Michelle and I can tell she’s awkward and a little worried about what is going to come out of my mouth. “This has been a hard decision, but it’s time to come clean.” I’m having fun at her expense enjoying making her sweat a little.

We are avoiding each other, but I want to sit down with her and clear the air. This announcement is going to help us. The others are not going to like it, but I never got into business to make people happy. There’s always money at the root of everything and this is no different.

They all know somebody is going to be getting a reward for all of their hard work. I have been watching and waiting, testing their limits and seeing how far they will go to satisfy me. It’s almost funny to see them ravenous like a bunch of rabid dogs after the last bone.

“Some of you are not going to be very happy, but let this be a wakeup call. This business isn’t about making friends. We cultivate resources and send them out into the world to face the harsh reality of rejection. I love this business and putting those names in lights is my pleasure. I’m taking one of you on my annual trip to Japan. I don’t play favourites,” I said while walking around the table seeing them squirm.

They want me to say their name and my decision is going to be final. I went over everybody’s file making notes and taking names. There are two in contention and I feel the power radiating through my limbs.

I let the tension build with whispered words of dissension amongst a few of them. There’s a whole world out there waiting to be explored. This is my way of breaking down the barriers and giving one of them a brief peek behind the curtain of what money can buy.

“This business is in my blood and there are a few of you who have exceeded my expectations. Two, in particular, have garnered my attention and I wish to share with you the reason why I have chosen one of them to accompany me,” I tease relentlessly in my approach and I love how they are practically on the edge of their seats.

I’m holding their attention like avid students in front of a classroom waiting for their professor to tell them something that is going to be on the final exam.

They’re looking for validation and that pat on the back for a job well done. I’m not very generous with praise, but there are exceptions to the rule.

“These two have gone above and beyond to make my life easier. I don’t want to single out anybody, but you leave me little choice.
