| Greg: I played golf with Mr. White last Sunday. Nick: The vice president of the company? Greg: Yes. He took me to this amazing course. It was a good time. Nick: How did you do? Did you win? Greg: Not even close. He schooled me. I think I only won one hole. Nick: That is not surprising. He plays almost every weekend, and he plays a lot during the week with clients. Greg: Anyway, it was just for fun. It also gave me some facetime with him so I could share my ideas for the company. Nick: That’s great. Good for you. | |
