Sam tapped on the door with her foot.
"Fresh hot coffee!" she said. Holding up 2 mugs.
"Morning Sam" Nick said with a smile, "Thank you, that smells amazing."
She walked over and handed the mug to him. He took a sip "Shit that's hot!" He exclaimed
"Yes, I told you it was hot"
He put the mug down and rubbed his lip.
"Yes you did. Hey, sorry about earlier, I was trying to find Emily's office and was in a hurry."
2 hours ago he almost ran over her in the hallway. The HR floor is a maze of offices and hallways and he was getting frustrated trying to find Emily's office.
"All good. You just startled me pretty good. Did you find Emily's office."
"Yes, eventually, yes."
He tried to take a sip of his coffee and winced again.
"I.." she paused a bit "I just wanted to thank you for last night, it was unexpectedly fun."
They had taken a bunch of leftover food from several office meetings to Anne's Place. A non-profit kitchen that feeds the homeless and anyone else who needs a hand. Nick and his mom had frequented this place when they first moved here and things were tight. They ended up at Big Al's for dinner after. Sam is a very attractive, mid 20's woman and Mark, who runs Big Al's now, since Al's stroke, put on his usual flowery show when ever a pretty woman comes in, even though he is gay.
"You're welcome, it was a good night "
He had driven her home after dinner.
Ha. Home. She lived in a fuckin mansion. Well she was the daughter of the CFO after all. They were making out in his car and their hands were all over each other, he was sure he was going to get lucky before a bunch of very loud, and drunken kids stumbled out the front door and fuckin ruined everything."
"Yes it was." Sam smiled.
She was about to say something else but her phone buzzed. "Sorry, duty calls. Enjoy the coffee"
"Thanks I will." He said as she left
Good thing he was sitting down, he almost had a full on boner thinking about the events that happened last night. He could still remember the smell of her perfume.
Mike stopped in his doorway, just as Sam was leaving, he looked at Nick, then in the direction Sam went, then back at Nick. He pointed at her and mouthed "How". I just raised my mug to him and smiled. Mike shook his head and walked away.
Sam headed to the elevators, stepped in and pressed the button for the top floor. After a short ride up the doors opened into a very nice reception area. Tracy smiled brightly when Sam stepped out of the elevator, she was one of the few that treated her normally.
"Sam!" she said very friendly, " It's been too long, how is everything?"
"All is good Tracy, how is everything with you?"
They quickly got caught up on what was happening with each other.
"Chris's meeting is running late, but he should be done soon."
They continued talking for a bit when the doors beside them opened and 4 gentlemen came out, they didn't look too happy either. They walked over tothe elevators all silent.
Chris came out and with a big smile called out "Sammy!!" When he saw her. She walked over and got a big hug and kiss on the cheek. " How have you been, please, come in, come in."
He sat behind his huge desk and said " What can I help you with? Your note said you needed some advice."
Sam took one of the chairs and pulled it closer to his desk.
"Yes, you see there is this non-profit organization I would like to help out, funding keeps getting cut and the landlord won't do the repairs to the building. So, I have some investments coming up for renewal and was wondering the best way to help them?"
"Ok, tell me about this place so we can see what the best option is."
Sam went on about what Nick and she did the other night, how Anne and Frank had helped him and his mom when they needed it the most, and how he's trying to give back.
"Interesting" Chris said.
Sam explained what she had in mind and they went back and forth with different ideas and options.
Sam was happy that Chris actually took her seriously and didn't just write her off like most others in her family.
They talked for about another 10 mins when Chris said " Well, I think you have everything you need. Now tell me about this Nick guy".
She went into a bit more detail about what happened the other night, how they took the leftovers from the office to Anne and Frank's place and helped serve the homeless, then went to dinner at Big Al's.
She left out the part about how she almost jumped his bones in his car in front of her house and how Todd and his stupid friends came out all loud and drunk and ruined things.
Her vibrator got quite the workout that night.
The phone rang, his 2 o'clock was here.
"You seem to really like Nick" he said to her.
"I don't know him too well yet, but he treats me like everyone else and not the bosses daughter".
"That's great, let me know if you need any more help with the non-profit place."
"Thank you." She got up and Chris followed her out of his office to the reception area.
She waved to Tracy as she headed for the elevators.
She tried calling Jen once she was in the elevator, but the call failed. The elevator dropped her off in the basement, she walked over to the mail room and sat behind her desk. She picked up her phone again and texted Jenny.
"Hey girl, any chance we can meet up soon. I have a favor to ask."
"Her phone buzzed right away, "Sure thing, meet me at Phil and Dean's at 7. Skip the line and talk to Ian at the door. Tell him you have a dinner meeting with me "
Jenny and Sam have been good friends since they were 4 years old, it's been a few years since they saw each other, but they talked regularly.
She got to work in finding who owned the building that Anne and Frank rented.
Between that and doing her regular duties it was 6:30 before she knew it.
She called an Uber and went to freshen up.
It wasn't a long drive to Phil & Dean's but traffic didn't help. The Uber dropped her off at the front door. When she looked at the very long line to get in, she was glad Jenny told her to look for Ian.
She walked up to the doorman.
