The couple sitting in the far back of the restaurant sat close together. To the passerby they looked as if they were having an intimate dinner for two. They were sitting there with their heads close and talking in hushed voices.
Diane and Jarred sat at the table in the back of the restaurant quietly discussing the merger of their two companies. They had chosen to go over the final details over dinner instead of in one or the other's office. They had been staying late all week long and it was Friday and they were still looking at going in and preparing for the upcoming merger that weekend as well. As they waited for their meal, they worked.
"Well, I don't see how we can possibly keep all the staff of both companies." Jarred said in hushed tones. "I don't see how it is possible either...I do think that for the first few months it may be necessary, we will all have alot of changes and problems to iron out. Then after that I think that we will find the areas that we need to create positions and the areas that we need to delete positions. At that point we will need to decide what percentage of staff we are going to need to lay off." Diane responded. Jarred just nodded slowly as he mulled this over in his mind. After a few moments he picked up his scotch and took a sip and then looked at Diane as he swirled his drink in the glass. Then as he spoke he let his eyes roam over her and take in everything about her. "I do believe that you are right there...and If we deal the cards right...there wont be very many staff that we will have to let go." he said.
He sat there looking at Diane as if seeing her for the very first time and he had worked with and known her for almost 9 years. She really was a very pretty woman. His mind should have stayed on the business at hand, but he found his mind wandering.
Her hair was a dark brown with auburn highlights, she was wearing it up, her eyes were a very bright green, her complexion fair. She had full pouty lips and her eyes amazed him. They were so expressive. He found himself wondering what her eyes would look like in the throes of passion and what her hair would look like if it were down. Then he realized that he had never seen her with her hair down. She was always so business oriented and professional.
Jarred felt a twinge of desire as he sat there imagining what she would be like when she was aroused. He took another sip of his scotch and willed himself back to the business at hand.
Diane sat there lost in thought about the merger. She was analyzing, planning and mulling over the details that they had decided on already. She had seen this merger coming for awhile now. She knew that this was the best plan of action both companies involved in could have chosen. She smiled to herself as she recalled how Jarred had balked at the thought of being a co-owner. He had fought this merger for almost a year. Now that he had finally weighed the pros and the cons of this he was very anxious to see the merger completed.
The waitress approached the table with their meal. She smiled as she sat it down on front of them. She asked them if they needed anything, Jarred ordered another scotch and Diane ordered a rum and coke.
As they started eating, they were silent, each lost in their own thoughts. Jarred was thinking how sexy Diane looked as she ate. He never realized that someone eating a steak could be so erotic. As he watched her he felt his cock hardening. Diane was thinking about how her last date had been a nightmare. She had never had any luck on the men that she chose to date. She then found herself wondering what Jarred would be like on a date.
Diane, gently sitting down her silverware, took her napkin and dabbed at her mouth. As she down her napkin she looked over at Jarred. "Excuse me a moment, I will be back in a moment." she said.
Jarred noticed that she a small drop of steak sauce on the corner of her mouth. He wondered if he should tell her. Then he thought, no, he would just reach over and wipe it off. That way he could discover what her skin felt like. He slowly reached up and cupped her cheek in his palm. He was amazed at how soft her skin was. He then let his thumb move down her cheek and to the corner of her mouth, where he wiped away the steak sauce. He let his thumb linger against her lip for a moment and then he smiled as he took his hand away. "You had something on your lip." he stated "Oh, well thanks for getting that for me." she breathlessly replied. Diane smiled at him as she got up from the table and turned and headed towards the restrooms.
Jarred sat there mesmerized by the seductive sway of her hips as she walked out of sight, his cock fully erect at this point. He shifted in his seat and attempted to adjust himself to relieve the straining confines of his slacks.
While Diane was gone that waitress brought their drinks. Jarred downed he first scotch and started on the second one as he waited for Diane to return. Soon she returned and they finished their meal. When they were walking to their cars.... they were still talking about the merger and they both hit upon the same idea at the same time. They looked at each other. "I don't have anyone waiting at home for me and I would like the details worked out before Monday...so I think I will go to my office." Diane said. Jarred stood there for a moment thinking. "You know I don't either. Why don't we just hop into one car, go to your office and work on it together?" he said. "Sure, I would be glad to have the help. Plus I wonβt fall asleep while I am working." Diane replied as she laughed quietly
The both got into Jarred's car and drove to Diane's office. Jarred stood behind Diane as she unlocked her office door. Then she turned on the light and Jarred followed her inside.
