On The Brink (Vol. 1) (The On The Brink Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Sometimes, we saw a movie or went out for dinner. Other evenings, we hung out at his place or mine, sharing conversation over a bottle of wine. As I got to know Craig, I realized how right Duncan had been about him. Craig’s business acumen and hard work had made him a billionaire, but he was unpretentious and down to earth. I learned that Craig had grown up in Woods Hole, a little town best known for being the home of the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard, as well as a number of marine science labs. He shared with me that his father had died in the first Gulf war when he was very young, and that he’d lost his mother to cancer when he was eighteen. After that, Craig spent a year at M.I.T., before dropping out to start Manning Biotech. But neither one of us were inclined to talk much about the past. Mostly, we talked for hours about everything in our day-to-day lives. His business, my painting. Books and movies that we both loved. I made him laugh with stories featuring the colorful, eccentric world of the arts, and he turned out to have a deadpan sense of humor, describing people and situations from the business world in comic relief, while somehow keeping a straight face, something that I’d never been able to pull off.
