The energy was still high, the place buzzed with voices, meetings, and strategies, but it was a different sort of energy than had been at Titan Inc.
It was positive, almost nurturing. As Mateo told me, they worked together as a team: administrators, PAs, designers—everyone was involved and treated equally.
Freya was as important of an asset as I was.
It took some getting used to, but I was beginning to acclimate myself.
With a sigh, I realized I was acclimatizing myself in other ways.
Before Rubliana, I worked late nights, attended many business dinners, and dated a lot of women.
When I was at the condo, I used the gym, watched the occasional TV program, and entered the kitchen only to grab a coffee
or a plate for the evening's takeout dinner.
Otherwise, I spent the time in the den working or reading.
Seldom did I have company; and it was rare I brought a woman home.
My condo was my private space. If needed, either we went to her place, or I rented a hotel room.
