The following morning Penny and Leonard woke up with a better understanding of their relationship and for the first time in several weeks Penny was happy.
Leonard saw the change in her and he too was glad they came to an understanding. He helped her load the several suitcases into the elevator and helped her load them into the large stretch limo Bernie secured for the two of them to head up north.
Penny had a number of cocktail dresses and sleek work suits to tease and tempt the doctors she was going to be seeing.
After checking in, Bernie and Penny attended a elaborate cocktail party and dinner thrown by their pharmaceutical company Zangen and Bernadette had to make a speech, but after a short talk, she handed it off to Penny who wasn't really ready, but winged it seeing she was the main reason, other than the incredible medication, because of her expert salesmanship, the new medication rocketed off to the top of the sales chart.
After her speech, a number of doctors sought her out, but one in particular caught her eye. It was an old time friend of hers, Dr. Oliver Lorvis (Billy Bob Thorton). He pulled her to the side and reminded her that he and his colleagues were first on her list for the presentation tomorrow.
She patted his arm, but remembered how he called out Mississippi's when touched. She beamed back at him, "Oliver, I'm looking forward to the meeting, I'll see you 9 AM sharp. She slipped away, knowing he was going to be an issue tomorrow.
Bernadette and Penny worked the room and left as soon as they could, each having an large suite with a connecting door.
Morning came rather early and after a shower, Penny made sure to wear her finest business suit. It was a long, black pencil skirt with a large silver zipper from hem to waistband. It was rather long, hanging down to mid-calf. Above that was a sheer ivory buttoned-up blouse. Her lacy bra could be seen beneath it and the edges of her large aeroules could be seen peaking above the lacy cups. Her long blonde hair was pulled back in a messy french twist . It was held up by a large silver clip, matching the zipper on her skirt. Over the blouse was a matching black blazer. She made sure her make up was done to perfection with eyeliner to accent her bright green eyes. Her large lips were coated with an extra layer of bright red lipstick. She added a little extra perfume in the valley of her cleavage and on the inside of both wrists. She looked at herself in the mirror and pulled out her camera and took a selfie and sent it to Leonard,
"I hope I look good enough for today's presentation. I have to watch out, it's with your buddy, Dr. Oliver Lorvis." She sent it and got a reply almost immediately.
"Better keep him at arms length and watch out for him mumbling his Mississippi's again."
She replied with, "LOL, I love you."
He sent back, Ditto, good luck!"
She found Bernadette down in the coffee shop and after a tiny breakfast they headed in opposite directions, secure in their day's activities.
Penny found Dr. Lorvis' offices. They were much plusher then the one he used to have in Pasadena. He stood as soon as she entered, "My God, Mrs Hofstadter, you look absolutely ravishing."
She blushed and shook his hand, "Well thank you Dr. Lorvis, please call me Penny."
He nodded, "Fine, please call me Ollie. Have a seat I have already administered your medication to five of our best black porn stars. I talked with Dr. Wolowitz last night and she said it was safe for females to take and it doesn't have much, if any reactions after taken. Would you be willing to try one of your pills?"
Penny looked a little apprehensive, but couldn't shy away, "Sure, if Bernadette said it was safe, sure." She put out her hand and took one. Ollie gave her a glass of water and she took it willingly.
They spoke of the medication for several minutes and she was happy with his acceptance of the drug for the male stars at the studio he represented.
Oliver place a sheet of paper before her, "You have to sign a waver, you're not allowed out on the stage floor without signing a insurance waver." She signed it without reading it, she just signed her death sentence, she was so naive. He stood up and pointed towards the studios out behind his office, "Shall we go out there and observe how the medication is working?"
Penny was a little taken aback by his suggestion, "Why would we have to see what they are doing?"
He chuckled, "Well Penny, your medication boasts that after our star has an orgasm, he has the recuperation powers to be able to go again, more than once, several times with just a short time to go again. How can I prescribe your medication if it doesn't do what you say it does?"
She picked up the pamphlet and handed it to him, "Here are the results, black on white."
He chuckled, "Listen Penny, I've seen many, many studies done to make their drugs look good and afterwards find out that it's all smoke and mirrors. I'd much rather see it in the flesh, forget the pun, and see for ourselves that it works."
She nodded, "Point taken, Ollie, lead the way."
He took her out to a large warehouse where there were numerous stages set up, each having a different setting. Some were a lounge with a bar, some were bedrooms, some were kitchens and some were living rooms. There were even some set up as a doctor's office and another was an office with desk set up with a secretary desk too.
Ollie led her to a set with a lounge and guided her to a seat at one of the bars. He picked up a bottle of wine, "Would you like a glass?"
She looked at it and a tiny smile crossed her lips, "Aw, sure, red wine if you have it." She watched as he poured her a generous glass of red wine and handed it to her.
