Summary
“Well, it wasn't ideal, I’ll tell you that. Keeping that a secret.”
His lawyer refills his coffee cup from the shiny black machine. Mark has a feeling that without the coffee, he’d have been defenestrated three meetings ago.
“It wasn’t a secret,” Mark says. “I just didn’t think it was relevant.”
“You don’t think it’s relevant information that the plaintiff in this case is your former sexual partner?”*
Eduardo comes to visit Mark in California in the summer of 2004, and they end up having sex. It doesn't change anything. Not until much later.

Bookmark Notes:
It’s sunny when he steps out of the office for lunch. Yellowish leaves are starting to sprinkle the Park Avenue sidewalks. His personal Blackberry vibrates in his pocket and he hurriedly takes it out to find a new email from Mark. It’s probably unhealthy, he knows, to continue this four-month-long conversation. He’s never going to move on if he doesn’t sever all ties with Mark. His last girlfriend, a pretty red-headed futures trader at GAM he’d first met at an art opening, dumped him barely a month in because she was ‘too old to waste her time competing with idealized ex-girlfriends’. Her words. He’d laughed at that, mostly because for a surreal moment he’d considered pointing out to her that his idealized ex-girlfriend was in fact the only one of TIME’s most influential CEOs who regularly wears Adidas flip-flops to the office.
