John was looking over Megan's statements for the last month quickly adding in his head the inflows and outflows of money while she waited in the chair next to him. She had come in for a six month meeting she kept regularly since her parents had freed up her trust to her. The large sum of money they had passed on to her was about half of what she started with three years earlier when she turned twenty-one.
She shifted in her chair uncrossing and re-crossing her legs. The sound of her black nylons swishing momentarily distracted John but he redirected his attention back to the statements, "Megan all I can say is you are definitely spending a lot more than you are making," he said shaking his head. "At this rate you will be out of money in another four or five years."
"So what do you suggest I do then," Megan was not quite pleading, she sounded more like she was pouting. Her full pink lips were slightly downturned and shined from the gloss she had on. Megan was extremely attractive, the only word John could put to her was hot. She wore make-up and clothes that only made her looks more apparent. The black skirt and white blouse were very form fitting, yet stylish at the same time. He had already been admiring her shapely legs encased in black hose. She was fifteen years his junior and an important client's only daughter which he always kept in perspective.
"Megan," he said letting out a deep breath," you can either make more or spend less. Those are your two choices."
"John I don't want to give up my lifestyle," her hand moving up to push her dirty blond hair back from her face.
"Then I suggest you sell a lot more drugs for the pharma company you have been working for," he said leaning back in his chair and putting her statements down on the table.
"You say it like you think I'm not good at my job," as she tilted her head while her eyes picked up a little intensity in their stare.
"Megan come now," he said pausing to calm her before continuing on," you're are still young and building your career. Just ease back the throttle a bit on your lifestyle for now. Standard of living is one of the hardest things to change and easiest to get used to."
Megan pulled her chair in a little closer cutting the distance between them," John I think you just doubt my abilities to be persuasive..."
"It's not that Megan I am just trying to help you understand..."
"No I understand just fine," she said interrupting him," you just need to be persuaded yourself."
"What exactly do you mean by that? You're going to tell me how you will start spending less so you don't squander all you've been given?" John said a bit annoyed.
"Don't be angry with me John," she said lightening her tone as she once again uncrossed and re-crossed her legs. Johns reflex looked down again before he looked back up at her. Megan's eyes had not left him and she was smiling coyly. "When did you start here John? Wasn't it right around when I left for college?"
"Sometime around then, yes."
"I sure do miss those care free days. Now I have all this responsibility weighing me down," she looked down for a moment.
