It was the biggest sale I had ever made. Imperial Motor Industries had agreed to use our companies equipment on three of their 2025 cars and two trucks. The deal was worth millions of dollars and I had closed the deal today. My commission alone was going to be astronomical!
The brass back at HQ were ecstatic and I got lots of "atta boys" from the bosses.
I had flown in with high hopes. I knew we had a good chance of landing the business, but I thought it would take a couple of days. I hated the airport hotels so I had booked a downtown hotel, close to Imperial's head office. It was an old school hotel, with the kind of character that airport venues didn't.
Needless to say I was in a celebratory mood but I had travelled here alone. Sitting in my room, drinking from the mini bar wasn't going to cut it. The bar downstairs had a few early birds. I sat at the bar and the bartender filled my order for a double Jamesons on the rocks.
"You look like the cat who ate the canary, you must be celebrating something."
"Biggest friggin' sale of my life!"
"Congrats, auto industry I take it?"
"In this town, what else could it be. Yeah, a big sale to Imperial."
"It's hard to celebrate alone. No wife, partner or assistant along for the trip?"
"Wife divorced me, no girlfriend and my assistant backed out of the trip with the flu. Although to be honest, I think it was more a case of her husband not wanting her alone with me flu. If you get my drift."
"Yeah, well if you need company I know all the regular "for hire" ladies that frequent this hotel. If you are interested, let me know and I'll help you choose."
"Thanks, I think I'll just enjoy this drink for now."
The Jamesons was my favourite tipple and had been for years. I was so pumped! This contract meant that at thirty years of age I could comfortably retire if I wanted to, it was that big a deal.
If Maddie, my ex was here, we would be celebrating in bed up in the room right now. She was a very sexy woman who loved her sex, a little too much since she fucked half the office where she worked. The divorce was inevitable. I still missed her.
Some feminine company would be welcome but I had never wanted to avail myself of professional girls.
"I hear that congratulations are in order!" The delightful feminine voice came from my left side. She took the stool beside me.
She was a pretty girl, I guessed her age at twenty-one or two. She looked familiar but I couldn't place her. She was dressed in professional office wear so I assumed she was an Imperial employee.
"Do you remember Calvin Winthrop? He and I were in your morning meeting at Imperial"
"Tall fellow with the long white beard? Not Z Z Top long but long enough."
"That's him. I'm his personal assistant. My name is Julie Moore. You're Archie Kent. He was very impressed with your presentation this morning. He is also impressed with your company. Believe me Calvin does his research."
"I do believe you because I assume he has you do his research."
"Bingo! I have been researching you and your company since your first proposal. Calvin was impressed and so was I."
"Thank you! I owe you a drink at the very least, what would you like?"
"Just a ginger ale is fine. I could be driving later."
"So what do you know about me? I am curious how much your research discovered."
"You have been with your company for ten years. You met the woman you married there. Unfortunately she was unable to 'forsake all others' which lead to your divorce. Since then you have remained celibate as near as I can tell. I also know that this contract will make you a lot of money in commission. Calvin has all this data on you. He was impressed enough to sign the deal."
"For which I'll be eternally grateful. So why has he sent you here to find me?"
"You are also a very bright boy. How do you know I didn't come here to help you celebrate?"
"You are drinking ginger ale, and are still wearing office attire which I interpret as your being 'on the clock'. Besides I am an average looking guy from nowhere. You wouldn't cross the road to share a drink with me if your boss didn't ordain it. Am I right?"
"Mostly, except that I kinda like average guys from nowhere and I would gladly cross the street to share a drink with you."
"Good to know," I smiled at her and got a smile back.
"So what does Calvin want?"
"I need to be discreet, Calvin was quite taken with you personally, and I don't mean your presentation. He was impressed with you. He thought perhaps you might want to celebrate with him. Read into that what you will."
"Was there anything in your research that indicated that I would be interested in celebrating the sale with Calvin tonight?"
"No sir, not a shred."
"Then could you please tell him that I am flattered but I am not of that orientation. I would much prefer spending the evening celebrating with you Julie."
"I will text him right now. I will be back in a moment. Don't go anywhere."
I had no doubt that even if I left the country Julie would have the resources to find me anywhere. I hoped that my rejection wouldn't sour the deal for Calvin.
Julie came back and I couldn't help but notice the difference. When she left, her hair was in a ponytail and her blouse buttoned to the top. Now her hair was down and brushed, her blouse was unbuttoned to the third button, revealing a very lovely décolletage.
"Calvin is fine with that. He told me to celebrate signing the deal with you, if you're okay with it."
"More than okay, another ginger ale?"
"No, I'll have a Jamesons too."
"I thought you were driving?"
"Only if you had taken Calvin up on his invitation. Since you declined I won't need to drive tonight."
"So how will you get home?
"Who said anything about going home? You are a bright boy, you figure it out."
She then smiled at me and felt my cock twitch.
I raised my glass of Jamesons to hers and toasted.
"To a long and profitable relationship!"
"Business and personal," she added.
