Chapter 38 -- Meeting the Hotel Manager
"Boss," Neetu said a few minutes later as they were both adjusting their clothes "speaking of inspection, you need to check out the assistant manager here. She is such a beauty. I think you should bang her."
"I don't mind checking her out, honey, but might not be possible to bang her," Vikas said "we will be leaving our account here."
"Oh. Why, boss?"
"Look, Neetu, if the US deal goes through we will be having American models coming to India to feature in our projects. We should move to a 5-star hotel for that. Also, I want to increase our reserved rooms from 5 to 10. I want to keep one room out of those for my exclusive use."
Neetu walked over to him and cuddled up against him "Will I get some exclusive use in your exclusive room, Sir?"
He put his arm around her and squeezed her tight "Of course. You are for your boss' use, aren't you?"
She nodded "Oh yes, I like the sound of that. For your exclusive use."
"I don't need exclusive." He said "As you know I am married, so I can't have you restricted to me. Fair is fair."
Neetu shook her head "Doesn't matter. I won't need any thing more as long as I am on your menu. Just snap your fingers when you want."
He squeezed her ass and leaned in to kiss her.
"But boss," Neetu said after they shared a slow, intimate kiss "you can still meet this manager, and bang her before we close our account here."
"You seem to think it's just a matter of picking her up and fucking her." Vikas smiled "Why do you think she would be willing?"
"Because ours is a big account for this hotel," Neetu said "and you are a hunk."
"Thank you, darling, but I can't take advantage of our account any more as we will be closing it, I just told you."
"Yes, but she doesn't have to know that."
Vikas grinned "So, I should become a bad guy just for a nice piece of ass?"
"Um, no need to be such a good guy either, Sir. At least see the piece of ass first."
"Well, we'll go talk to her anyway about the account."
"Please don't tell her right away that we are closing the account?"
Vikas shook his head "No, baby, I don't do business that way."
Neetu sighed "I hope you will change your mind when you see her."

"Look, Mrs. Gautam --" Vikas said.
"Miss Gautam, Sir," She interrupted him "and you can call me Yami. How can I help you, Sir?"
She was indeed as beautiful as Neetu had advertised. Her sharp features had a slight softness to them that made her extremely charming. Beautiful lips and big eyes that joined in her smile were enough to make any man fall in love with her. She was wearing a white tank top that was covered by her formal black jacket. Her black pencil skirt reached only half-way to her knees and would have been called a mini skirt if it were a couple more inches shorter. Her long legs were bare and her feet were encased in 5" high heels.
Vikas had checked her out in first glance as he entered and she had welcomed him with an open smile.
"Look, Miss Gautam, Yami," He tried again "not to cast any aspersions on your capabilities, but I would like to see the manager, please. Where is Mr. Talsania?"
"Sir, Mr. Talsania is on a one-month holiday." Yami said "He will be back in three weeks."
"Hmm. So, who is taking care of business in his absence?" Vikas asked.
"I am, Sir!" Yami chirped "I am the assistant manager. What can I do for you, Sir?"
"Ah. I see." Vikas leaned forward in his chair "Yami, the thing is, I am planning to close the account with your hotel. I came to ask Talsania how much notice you would need."
"No, no no!" Yami was out of her chair like a shot "No, no, no, no, no! Closing, no, why, has anything happened, Sir? Any problem with the service? No, that's not good. Give us a chance, Sir. Any problem, you tell me. I will take care of it."
"It's not that, Miss Gautam." Vikas said calmly "There's no problem with the service or the facilities. It's simply a business decision. Our company is growing and we will soon be expecting international guests to travel here to work with us. For that reason, I am planning to move us to a 5-star hotel."
"But Sir, there's not much difference in a five-star from us." Yami pulled a chair and sat next to him. Vikas turned his chair to face her. Neetu simply watched from her seat.
"Sir, a five-star hotel simply has a bigger lobby and better marble, that's all." Yami said earnestly "Our service has a more personal touch which they can't provide. Sir, our service will suit your clients much better, I can assure you."
"I am afraid, Miss Gautam, my decision has been..."
"No!" Yami interrupted him "Don't make the decision yet, Mr. Malhotra. One chance. Give me one chance. I will put together a proposal that will prove to you that we can serve you better. I will tailor everything to your needs. Will you give me one chance, Sir?" She looked into his eyes with a beseeching look.
Vikas looked at Neetu.
Neetu said "Sir, it's not an urgent decision. If Yami thinks she can convince you to change your decision, there's no harm in listening to her proposal. She's not asking you to commit to anything, just asking for a chance to present her side. It's your choice, Sir, but I think she deserves a chance."
Yami gave Neetu a grateful glance.
"Alright, Yami." Vikas said "You have your chance to create a proposal to convince me that my decision to shift to a five-star hotel is wrong. And here's the important bit. If you convince me, we will be expanding our involvement from 5 rooms to 10 rooms, and one of those will be permanently allocated to myself. So, whatever quotation you prepare, make it with those figures in mind."
"Wow, that's great, Sir. Thank you, thank you so much." She put her hand on his arm "I really appreciate this. I have just taken over this job for a week. You are one of our biggest clients. If I lose you, I can kiss my job goodbye. Thank you for giving me a chance, Sir."
"No problem, Yami." Vikas said "Please call my secretary for an appointment when you are ready with your proposal and I will come over for your demo."
"Yes, Sir. I will revert to you within two days." Yami nodded "Thank you so much for trusting me."
Vikas nodded.
Neetu followed him outside.
"What did you think, Sir?" Neetu asked in the car.
"She's a nice piece." Vikas agreed.
