The curtains to William's room flung open as the sunlight hit him across the face. He shifted his hand slightly to the side and came across the bare back of his last nights conquest. He placed an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"William, get up!"

That was the voice of Dave. His personal assistant, his friend, and more so his boy Friday.

"And tell your guest to get up and leave too."

"What do you want Dave? Let me sleep." William mumbled in his sleep.

"You have a board meeting in 30 minutes. And it's going to take you 45 minutes to get up from one end of the city to another. So yes, get up!"

Dave flung clothes at his bare naked body and at his lady friend too. William got up groggily and sat up on his bed. His lady friend -whose name he didn't bother remembering got up from the bed and grabbed her clothes and began to dress herself up. Dave turned around to avoid looking at a stranger dressing herself while William could care less.

As she began to leave, she leaned in to give William a parting kiss on the lips but he moved his face away just in time. "No lip kisses." A rule he always stuck by.

"I'll see you later?" She asked, hopeful.

"I don't think so." He replied, not wanting to give her false hope.

But he actually didn't believe in love or relationships or even sleeping with the same person -especially a one night random hookup more than once.

Dave turned around to face his best friend, trying to mask his displeasure. William turned around to face him.

"Don't give me that look."

"Take a Tylenol and drink some water. Take a hot shower and be down in 5. You reek of booze and sex. I'm sure the board members do not want the next CEO to be a drunk sex addict."

William flipped Dave the bird before making his way to the washroom, in all his naked glory.

************""

"Dave, where is he?" Trevor Smith asked, furiously throwing the expenses file he was holding onto the table

"He must on his way, Sir."

"I told you to stay with him! Why did you leave him?"

"Yes Sir, I understand. But Anand sir asked me to come to the office immediately and when I left, he was already in his car, and ready to leave."

Before Trevor could reply back to Dave with a few choice words, the door to his cabin opener and in walked in William, wearing jeans, a white t-shirt, leather jacket and dark lensed sunglasses.

"You called?"

"Do you know what time is it now?" Trevor asked, annoyed at his sons attitude.

"Dave, what's the time? I think Sir's watch stopped working." William asked rhetorically; taking his glasses off and folding them before slipping them into the pocket of his jacket.

"Oh grow up, William! We had a board meeting, 1 hour ago! It was your time to tell the board why you deserve to be a CEO. But no, where were you? At home, sleeping with another one of your meaningless one night stands. Do you not care about your future at all? What do I tell the board?"

"That I am a very good and dedicated doctor."

"The board doesn't care if you are good or dedicated. It cares about how you come across to the general public and what kind of publicity the hospital gains from having you as the face of it. And this. This is me helping."

Trevor threw a newspaper across the desk. "This. This is exactly what the board doesn't want in their next CEO. You can't go around punching bouncers at a club because they are kicking you out for being too unruly."
