 You are at one of the most exotic resorts in the world. Enjoy the weekend. Otherwise, I will feel inclined to renegotiate our contract to ensure you are not working at all hours of the night.

 What the hell? The guy owns the entire company. It’s not like I can just ignore his email. I ponder how to respond, as I craft my message.

 I will be signing off shortly. However I do need to reply to certain emails to receive what I need for the event on Monday. Unfortunately, you have been courtesy copied on these so will see the responses.
 
 Thanks,

 He seems like a complete control freak… and the arrogance! “I will renegotiate your contract if you don’t do what I say…” Blah, blah, blah… I shake my head, responding to the critical emails and decide to forego the others for a good night’s sleep.
 
 The resort is still relatively quiet in the morning, and I order room service to take advantage of the view from my balcony. I am in the middle of breakfast reviewing a medical journal when an email from Mark arrives. He is the project coordinator for Martel & Sons, the architectural firm who will be designing the medical facility. It appears as though he is backing out on his agreement to send representatives and I shake my head in frustration as I send a response.
