Several very interesting things developed during the next week. John returned to his job, entertaining the idea that he would begin looking around, actively, for another position, before tendering his resignation. For this purpose, he had given himself two weeks, for he had no intention of working under A.J. Royce, the Production Manager, any longer. Life, he had decided, was too short to put up with that son-ofa-b...!<br /><br />On the second day back at work, he was overjoyed to hear that Royce had been presented with an option of retirement or dismissal. Royce, wisely, chose retirement, effective immediately. Then, the second startling development was John&#39;s summons to the office of the Personnel Manager for an interview. John had been tapped to replace Royce, and he accepted gladly. The following day he had taken over as Production Manager. Faye was as happy as he, and of course, they had their own little private party to celebrate the event, discovering that their sex-life had been improved, it seemed, almost a hundredfold.
