Present Day
I barely heard any of the meeting. I’ve worked out a way to tune boring shit
out, yet still be able to retain some of the conversation, in case my
employees asked questions.
I’ve been in advertising for as long as I can remember. Devereaux
Media had been my father’s company, and since his retirement, the torch
had been passed down to me. Of course, this is what I know. What I’m good
at. But after a while, it all got monotonous.
For some reason, I’ve been craving to get away from the city these last
few weeks. Work has been crazy, and though I’d never care to admit it
aloud, I’m burned out.
I have a manor in Elstone, Gloucestershire, nestled in the picturesque
Cotswolds. It’s my sanctuary. A place I like to go when I need to reset. It’s
quiet, for one, and surrounded by nature — something I never knew I
craved until my forties — and most of all, I like how I switch off from
everything whenever I’m there. That doesn’t happen as often as I’d like.
My three-story apartment in South Kensington, however, is where I
spend most of my time. It’s opulent with 3,000 square feet. Three
bedrooms; mine has a dressing room, and three bathrooms all finished in
marble with brass fixtures. The kitchen, which I rarely use, is equipped with
every appliance under the sun. The reason I bought the apartment in the first
place was the 360 degree wrap-around terrace with views across London.
My life is hectic, to say the least. I run a multi-billion-dollar company,
and with that comes sacrifices. I’ve never remarried, not after Abigail died,
and I’ve never desired children. Some would say I’m a ladies’ man, but just
because I know how to fuck a woman right, doesn’t mean I’m any kind of
gigolo. I just know what women want, and there have been many, but I’ve
never really been capable of more.
However, lately I’ve been feeling less and less like meaningless sex
— which isn’t like me — and I don’t know if it has anything to do with my
upcoming 45th birthday, or if it’s something more sinister. Maybe I’m
facing a mid-life crisis? I usually bed a woman two to three times a week. I
think that’s normal for a bachelor my age who doesn’t have any other
commitments aside from work. Admittedly, sometimes I use an escort
service, but more times than not, I’ll pick women up in a bar or one of the
clubs my friends drag me to on the weekends.
The opposite sex are
complicated creatures, which is why using an escort agency can be less
harrowing. We both know why we’re there, and the women are exactly my
taste because I only use Élégance. A high-class, professional service and
above all else, discreet. I’ve used them before when I needed a date without
the romantic hassles. Not all the women who work there are your typical
bimbos. Without trying to sound arrogant, I don’t need to buy women, but
they are a hell of a lot less complicated.
