Chapter Eighteen

Ted Ghent was a proud man. He knew he had climbed the ladder of success many times, and fallen off as well. But, he was never afraid to get back on the horse, and try again. He would have been the first to admit that he wasn't perfect. His ego had stymied his progress many times, but it also allowed him to push forward and win through adversity. He had won more than he had lost and had very few regrets.

But, Ted wasn't a jealous man. He had many loves during his life and tried to treat all of them fairly. He was not the kind of person to allow an excellent opportunity to pass him by, and his marital status never hindered his pursuit of a lovely bit of tail. He was discrete, but he was also smart enough to realize that women had the sixth sense of when their man was being pursued by another.

His first wife had endured his affairs until she had decided she'd had enough. She took his son, Brett, and left him with his latest conquest, an administrative assistant with more cunning that brains. The divorce was amicable, and he maintained joint custody of Brett.

He realized that remarrying his assistant so soon was a bad decision, and had rectified it within only a couple of years.

Since that second divorce, he had remained a player, devoting himself to growing Ghent International, Inc. with the help of his right-hand man and friend, Martin Freiberg. Martin had helped Ted shepherd Ghent International, Inc. into one of the premier construction software companies in the world. He kept his eye on the competition, and could spot trends better than anyone else Ted had ever known. This synergy that the two men had allowed them to make the company strong and agile, and they had both profited handsomely.

Ted didn't often seek out Martin's counsel on personal matters. He didn't realize it, but Martin screened almost all of Ted's conquests and tried to keep things compartmentalized. Martin didn't want Ted's success with women to influence his ability to make keen business decisions.

He had long ago exhausted any method to keep Ted celibate, but at least they were moving in the same general direction. Pussy apparently relaxed Ted. Martin had a sixth sense about when Ted had reached some internal limit that required a release.

While he didn't exactly pimp out women for his boss, he did manage to find likely candidates for trysts and invited them to after work events, or along for convention duties.

None of these women were ever employees of Ghent's company, nor even its vendors. This was sometimes tricky to work around, but Martin had been successful in insulating the man vs. his business. As a result, Ghent International, Inc. had been recognized as being progressive, and a safe place for women to work. The company had won prestigious Human Resources awards for diversity and being a harassment-free workplace.

So, Ted's meeting of Sarah Markland had been divine providence, for both men.
