I love to cook, enjoy a good bottle of wine with my dinner, which led to a great relationship with my local wineshop. It was not odd to be in the store three times a week picking something up. The manager, a great guy, about ten years my senior, classy, professional, not a stud but has qualities that are appealing. Never thought of him in a sensual way but always looked forward to our next conversation. He took time to educate me about wine & food.
Professionally I am in marketing & sales, have a great job and make six figures. Live alone in an upscale gated community, date regularly but not generally in a serious relationship. My life lacks nothing, never in need of anything, a very happy person with plenty of friends. If someone asked would I change anything in my life the answer would be no.
Until I saw the help wanted sign. My favorite wine shop was looking to add another person on the sales floor part-time. In jest I asked if the position would be available to me. I had evening free and sometimes over the weekend. Money was not the important issue; it was more of a learning experience. An opportunity to learn more of a topic I love.
The manager said he would be open to discussion the opportunity and the commitment. I suggested we meet after the stores closes; it was after 8 PM already. My plan was to have dinner across the street at a little Italian restaurant, stop in after you close the store, and we can discuss the position over dessert.
My typical business attire was a suit, or a skirt and blazer. Tonight, I had on a black skirt a few inches above my knee, a red blazer, cream blouse, and red fuck me heels. Sometimes after work if I am heading out to meet someone for drinks or dinner, I slide off my blouse and just wear my blazer. It gives a me a classier look that I will highlight with a sting of pearls. Which is what I did for dinner.
