  &quot;You need a vacation,&quot; he said. Thankfully the foundation is underway.
  &quot;The orphanage and foundation need someone to oversee it.&quot; He spoke. I can t take any vacation right now.
  &quot;You have capable employees and trusted ones, don t you? You can leave the running of both with them for a few weeks,&quot; Michael said
  &quot;Competent...Yes, but the only trusted one I can leave the affairs of things to was just a volunteer, though one with the best management skills I have seen. She has helped a lot over the years.&quot;
  Michael raised a puzzled look to him.
