Henry called it a power lunch. He had his negotiation skills sharpened to razor perfection. The Agent and Publicist were to be on our best behavior. We were to meet Uncle Pat, Cousin David and Cousin Lisa. "Make no mistake, the stakes are high and I want nothing less than this office represented as clock work perfection." Henry commanded.
"Sir, yes sir." Saluting, which has become custom.
What Henry doesn't know is that the Agent and Publicist have known Pat, David and Lisa far longer than he has.
We played along with the bosses orders but in reality, for us lackey employees it was just a good excuse to get out of the office and hang out with old friends. I could get fired for saying that but seriously, does everything have to be about ego with Henry?
