The chapter opens with a discussion between the two women about how to handle the situation with the other women. It is clear that they are not in love with each other, and they do not see eye-to-eye as to whether or not they should be together. The women discuss how they will handle this situation and decide that it is best for them to be together, since it is easier to separate them if they are in love. They decide that they will have one person to report on the progress of the promotion and the other person will have the responsibility for the new product.
