Fred dropped Tina home in a cab, she insisted that him to meet her parents. Fred said, "I am not sober to meet them, I will meet them later" Tina nodded and said Goodbye, Fred leaned in and kissed Tina on her cheek, she didn"t stop him. She waited till Fred was out of sight and entered her home. Her parents noticed her coming in, her mother asked, "Tina, are you alright?" she ran towards her mother, hugged her like a child and said, "Mom, today I made a friend, he is so good to me..Its been so long ..it feels new and amazing..his name is Fredrick, he is my colleague..he just dropped me off, can I ask him to come home for lunch this weekend?" her mom looked at Tina and said, "of course my dear, we will be happy to meet him, is he anyone special?" Tina blushed and said, "He is in love with me, but I am not, I just like him as a friend." her mom nodded, her Dad was reading a book, hearing this he put down the book and looked at Tina..this guy seems special, he thought.Next day Tina was on the way to meet a customer , Jason called her...he asked her to come to office after the visit, she agreed. Tina cracked a new account that day, it took her two months of monitoring to get this deal. She was very much satisfied with the results today, she felt like calling Fred and sharing this with him. She called him, he did not answer the call. She tried once again ,but no response. She felt little irritated, she asked the cab guy to take her to office. She had to collect her car in the evening, she did not know if Fred collected it from the restaurant yesterday. As she thought about her car, Fred resurfaced in her mind, his innocence, honesty, he was a thorough gentleman. Anyways she had to meet Jason now, she wondered what he wanted to discuss.
Tina reached office and headed to Jason"s cabin. She knocked and was asked to enter, as she came in she saw Jason immersed in a call. He waved his hand towards a chair asking her to sit down. Tina took her seat and waited , Jason completed the call and smiled at her,"Tina, had your lunch?" she said "not yet.." he said "ok let"s go and have our lunch first, we will then discuss" she agreed and both of them moved out of office and headed to parking s.p.a.ce. Jason drove a fancy sports car. Tina got into the car . He asked, "Are you ok with Chinese food?" she nodded and he drove off. He looked at Tina, she was wearing a formal woman"s shirt and a trouser. Peach shirt and black trouser tucked in with formal shoes. Her toes were painted in a faint pink. She had a beautiful figure which was full and blooming. She was a curvy woman.
He sighed in his heart and headed towards the restaurant. Fred called Tina, she took the call and asked, "you did not answer my call..where were you? my car? you collected it? " he said "Tina, I was in a meeting, Yes I collected your car, you wanted to speak about something?" she said, "yes, I secured that deal I was talking to you about, I am really happy, she saw Jason looking at her questioningly, she then said to Fred, " Ok, I am going for lunch with boss..I will be in office till evening.." Fred said,"Congrats for the deal, ok I will catch you later.." she cut the call.
Jason asked, "Was it Fred?" Tina nodded and said" yes" then he asked, "what is this deal you were talking about?" Tina then explained to him about the customer and the deal followed by the future scope of business expected. He was hearing with rapt attention. He said, "Good job Tina, your ex boss told me that you and Fred are the two people who contribute the most to business,it is good that what he said is true" and smiled. Tina also smiled happily, they reached the restaurant and got out of the car. Jason dropped off Tina, parked the car and they went inside. They ordered food and started eating, Jason started asking Tina some personal questions like her hobbies, her family , education etc. He did not bring in any business conversation. Tina was answering only to the point and she did not probe anything about Jason.
They finished lunch and headed to office, Jason understood that Tina was a woman of few words. He liked the way she carried herself in a dignified and professional way. He was in sales for a long time, he met all kinds of people,he met both respectable women and he met women who would jump into his lap on drop of hat for few benefits. With his good looks it was easy to attract women and seducing them with promotion and higher salary was pretty easy. He thoroughly enjoyed his share of pleasures but never forced any woman, they came to him willingly and he did not reject them. They took the benefits he gave and enjoyed. But he stopped all of that from some time now, he was no longer in need of those flings, he is matured enough and wanted to get into a serious relationship.
Tina and Jason entered his cabin, he said, "Tina, I am happy with your performance, you are very much driven towards achieving your numbers. I see a thirst in you for progress, I wish to give a proposal to you which you might like" she was hearing with batted breath, he continued, " Tina, I wish to promote you, I am splitting the team into two divisions, sales and marketing, I want you to head the marketing division.."
