Chapter 55: Can’t Touch This
Derek had slept.
He had actually slept. He had closed his eyes and caught some zs. He had counted sheep, he had caught some shut-eye. He had closed his eyes and had not let the bed bugs bite( which had been a real worry given the state of the room that he had slept in). All the various ways that people used to describe the process of going to sleep, he could now use freely since he too was now part of those people.
All those fancy terms and phrases now applied to him, and they all meant the same thing. And to him, that meaning was that for just over ten hours, Derek had been like the majority of the people on the planet. His brain had finally allowed him to rest.
It was such a momentous occasion that he wanted to write a memo and send it to every single department at Haven Group headquarters. And then he wanted to take the same memo, draw hearts on it and send it to every other company that Haven Group owned.
The Chief Executive Officer of Haven Group, I, Derek Haven, slept for more than ten hours last night. It was a wonderful experience and I fully intend on a repeat of it tonight. I wish that all of you have the same sleep filled night as I will be having.
Derek had even drafted it, but he had deleted before the temptation to send it had gotten to be too much. Turning his attention to Erasure Corp, whose people were lying to him, badly.
How had he even let these people get onto the short list, obviously they had only survived so long because of his insomnia. He would make sure that they were disqualified as soon as possible.
In fact, Derek was in for a bit of spring cleaning. Once he had decided that Erasure was not worth his time, he had closed their file and been going through the reports that he got from each department on a weekly basis.
What usually took him the whole day, now took him only a matter of minutes. And not only was he faster, he was able to pick out errors and discrepancies with an ease that he had never thought possible.
