In this chapter's epigraph, we are told that the boss is "unfairly giddy" because he has been unable to "separate work from his private life" . The boss asks if this is because he is unable to separate his work and his "private life," and if so, why did he not tell him sooner? The boss then asks if he and the chief are a team, and if they are, he asks if there is something between them, and the boss says that it is because the chief has asked him to sit in the baby-sitting chair, and that he is a rookie in the world of business. He says that he wants to become someone the boss can trust, too, and so he asks the boss to do it.
