The Reluctant Prophet (2011)
“From what little I hadn’t been able to avoid seeing of him, I knew Mr. Irwin, Chamberlain Enterprises CEO, was a very busy man.
I’d seen his picture in the St. Augustine Record and even the Jacksonville paper dozens of times since he’d taken over the position once held by my father. It would sneak up on me when I was looking for a sale or at the comics—turning my stomach before I could rustle on to another page. Several times I’d seen him in parades, or at intersections with the top down on... his BMW, or at the kinds of weddings I drove carriages for, funded by other corporate executives with princess daughters who didn’t feel married without white horses. It was hard not to know that he owned acre upon acre of real estate, held seats on prestigious boards, and had a voice in every issue that affected the monetary life of the community. Or that his marriage to Trophy Wife Number Two had died from neglect.
Which was why when his secretary returned my call and said Mr.MoreLess
