The next morning

Unending BE - episode 30882

We both fall asleep, perhaps really pass out, on the bed next to each other, with her arms around me. Momentarily. I forget this awful body of mine, and feel quite contented. We wake late the next morning, and Elly orders a breakfast brought to us. I guess that's not unusual, and I'm glad I don't have to leave this room. I sit in my big chair, dressed in my soft, white bathrobe, but still feel very phusically handicapped. My breakfast is huge, with half a dozen eggs, rolls, steak, and other dishes. My body demands it and I eat gluttonly. She eats little and watches with amusement, yet shaking her head.

After the dishes are gone, I light up a cigar and say, "Elly, I want to accomplish two things this month: one, to shape up this body as much as can be done in that short time, and thus perhaps prolong Hubert's life, once he is in here again." "Great idea. His short life expectency is based on his weight, lack of excercise and smoking those stinking cigars. Remember, he, or you right now, is only sixty-three. That's not old really. I'll work with you. Second?" "I want to see if we can uncover what's wrong with his company. He sems to think he's being ripped off by his sons?" "Hell yes, Liz, and by a couple of directors too. You need to study the reports in detail." "O.K. Let me take the 'boss' role again, because that's what I am now. I hope you don't mind. But by tomorrow morning, I want a great PC with printer with all company files installed right here on my desk." "Yes sir, boss. Consider it done, Hubert," and she smiles and comes over and kisses me and says, "But I still love Liz."

Then the phone rings, and it's a call from Jim. Liz leave as she blows a kiss and closes the door behind her."
