Around 2:30p.m., Athena was putting in Mark's scheduled appointments and meetings into his itinerary on her computer. Mark knocked on her door and she looked at it for a split second before returning to her work.
Athena: Come in.
Mark went inside and sat down in one of her chairs in front of her desk.
Mark: Do you have time for a break?
Athena: Not really. I still need to finish filling up your calendar with appointments and meetings.
Mark: Can I guess one of the people that I'm meetin' with?
Athena: Mmm, you can give it a shot.
Mark: King of Wales.
Athena: Correct, and the Princess of Monaco. You can't mess this up.
Mark (smiling): Excuse me, how do I mess it up at meetings and appointments?
Athena: You cancel them, Mark, and you don't be in the hospital or sick as a dog when you cancel them, you just automatically cancel them like meh.
Mark: That is not true, Athena. When did I do those things?
Athena (typing away on her computer): Valentine's Day of this year, you were supposed to go on a date with the Princess of Brunei.
Mark: There was a reason for that.
Athena: You lied and said that you had COVID-19, and then, you actually got COVID-19, two days later.
Mark: I sent her three dozen roses after that.
Athena: She doesn't wanna deal with you anymore after that. Saint Patrick's Day, you had a meeting with Prince Mateen, and you blew it off because you wanted to have a lazy day by staying home all day doin' absolutely nothing. Mardi Gras Day, you chose Louisiana and nude women shakin' their tits and beads in your face over spendin' the day with Prince Harry and Megan Markle discussin' feedin' America, poverty, education, nature preservation, global warmin', and findin' cures for deadly diseases and sicknesses.
Mark: Okay, okay, so, I've been slackin' off with my job as being a boss, but I'm gonna make it up to each and every single one of them. Although, I'm not ready to date just, yet. How about I take you to lunch this time, instead of, Courtney, my treat?
Athena: Not too cheap and not too expensive. Just because you're a trillionaire doesn't mean I wanna spend all your money.
Mark (flirtatiously): How about we drink a couple of shots and go to bed together?
Athena: In your dreams.
Mark: You can pick the place and there's somethin' that I wanna talk to you about.
They left the building in Mark's car and went to Nobu Los Angeles. They sat down outside and their waiter took their drink and food orders. A couple minutes later, the waiter brought them their drinks and left to get their food.
Athena: Okay, what was it that you wanna talk to me about?
Mark: You should take time off. Summer is here and it's time for you to have fun which you don't have at all. I want you to go have fun with this all expense paid trip for you and your friends in Brazil. You and Courtney will be the main ones gettin' the royal treatment and you'll be able to get to meet some of my family members down there.
Athena: I still have paperwork to fill out and there are phone calls that are still comin' in from businessmen, businesswomen, celebrities, athletes, dignitaries, princes, princesses, kings, queens, sultans, presidents, etc. who wanna have meetings and do business with you.
Mark: Athena, Athena, stop, you're a robot. A man doesn't wanna have sex with a robot. He doesn't wanna be with a robot. He wants to be with a flesh and blood woman who doesn't mind havin' him take care of her and havin' fun. You need a vacation and I'm givin' you that. Your flight leaves at 10am, tomorrow mornin', and I will be drivin' you and Courtney there. So, after we leave from here, I want you to clock out, go home, pack your bags for some fun in the sun, and be prepared for tomorrow mornin'. I won't take no for an answer, and instead of, stayin' in a hotel, you'll be stayin' at the family mansion. A limousine will pick you guys up from the airport and take you straight to the family mansion.
Athena (nervously): Um, thanks, why the royal treatment?
Mark: You're family, Athena, and besides you've been through a lot. Good people don't need to struggle all their lives just to be happy. They need vacations and breaks, too. You're good people.
Their waiter brought out their food and they ate and drank while carrying on a conversation.
