The dinner went pretty fast, after that--although it seemed like forever to Eduardo, who almost applauded when Kelly finally got her ice cream. Once the Chinese take-out boxes were all empty, Sean picked up the check, excused himself, and promised Mark that they'd talk again soon. Then the whirling dervish was gone, as quickly as he'd appeared.

Ten minutes later, Eduardo was standing next to Mark on the sidewalk outside the restaurant, his hand in the air as he tried to hail a cab. Eduardo's girl had gone off to meet Sean and his girlfriend, to some bar nearby in Tribeca where they were meeting mutual friends. Eduardo was going to meet up with them later, but he still had a few phone calls to make. More advertiser meetings they were trying to set up. He wasn't going to give up, no matter how difficult things got.

Hand still in the air, Eduardo glanced over at Mark. He could see that his friend still had that flushed look on his face. Parker was gone, but his aura still lingered in the air.

"He's like a snake-oil salesman," Eduardo said, trying to break the spell. "I mean, he's a serial entrepreneur. We don't really need him."

Mark shrugged, but didn't respond. Eduardo frowned. He could tell that his words were falling on deaf ears. Mark liked Parker, idolized him. There was no way around it.

Eduardo guessed it didn't really matter, not at the moment. It wasn't like Parker was going to throw money at them; the guy didn't have any real money yet, as far as Eduardo could tell. And thefacebook needed money. As it grew and grew, they were forced to upgrade their servers. And they had also come to the conclusion that they needed to hire a couple more people to work on the programming. Interns, they'd call them, but they'd have to pay them something.

Which was why tomorrow, they were going to open a new bank account, and put some more money into the project. Eduardo had freed up ten thousand dollars to invest into the account. Mark didn't have any funds of his own, so they'd be relying on Eduardo's money for a while longer.
