While Crispin was bemoaning
his life or lack thereof, Bryant was staring in amusement at his secretary.
“They want what?”
“To talk to you about their
new line of men's clothing.”
“Tell them to send me
photos. If I think they have something worth talking about then they get an
appointment, not before.”
“Yes sir.”
She smiled at him before
leaving and he watched her tight, curvy ass with appreciation until she’d
closed the door behind her. Only common sense and the knowledge that
fraternizing with his employees wasn’t the wisest thing he could do on many
fronts had kept him from asking her out a long time ago.
But that didn’t mean there
weren’t females in his life. He hit up the bars often enough of an evening when
the urge hit, picking up some pretty, gullible young woman or another, perhaps
taking them back to the flat he owned in the city instead of going to their
places. The flat his brother and father knew nothing about. Whenever that
happened he just blamed his late arrival home on needing to take a potential client
out to supper to finalize a deal. Those rare times when he didn’t make it home
until morning he would reluctantly admit that he’d spent the night with a
female he’d met at a club. They couldn’t fault him for that; after all he was
human and male with a male’s needs.
And tonight would be one of
those nights, if the day would ever end. Which it did finally. After locking up
he hurried down to the parking garage, tossed his suit jacket in the back seat
of his car, and took off for his favorite watering hole.
“What’ll it be, Bry?” the
bartender asked.
“The usual.” Bryant looked
around as he waited. The bar was quickly filling up with young singles stopping
on their way home from work for a drink and maybe a hook-up if they got lucky. When
his drink appeared he turned to ask the bartender, “Seen Judy around recently?”
“Not for, hell a couple of
weeks. Guess she finally found herself someone.”
“Not surprising, she was cute. Thought a bit much of herself though, but I guess that’s the norm around here.”
Bryant chuckled, “That kind, or the poor losers looking for a wink and a nod
from some dude to make their day.”
“Name of the game, Bry, name
of the game.” The bartender went back to work leaving Bryant to savor his drink
while he decided which woman would get lucky and get him tonight. The one thing
he knew for certain, it wouldn’t be Judy. She was history now.
