It's 09:49 at La Torre Azzura and Sam and Fluke a wrapping up their detail for the meeting before the new Director of Sales & Marketing comes in. The meeting will start at 10:30, so this gives Sam and Fluke a little time to relax a bit so they decide to go have a cup of coffee while the calm their nerves and wait.
"Sam, how can you be nervous? This is not your first time doing this", Fluke asks. "I know, but I just can't get used it. It's probably because I want everything to go perfect. I don't want to mess up on anything, so I'm always pressurising myself", Sam answers, with a little nervous chuckle.

Now everything has been set up in the boardroom and the new Director would be here in no time. There is a lot riding on today. It's the day for the proposals. Now everyone is nervous because they haven't worked with this new guy yet, so they don't know his tempremate.

Fluke and Sam are standing just at the entrance of the boardroom waiting for the new Sales & Marketing Director and the Revenue Manager and the rest of the marketing team. They could hear whispers and people scrambling for stuff from across the hallway. "Ohmygod, he's here, Fluke? Are you ready" Fluke... FLUKE!! Are you OK", Sam tries to get Fluke's attention.
Fluke is just standing there with his mouth open, looking at the people approaching the boardroom. "P'Ohm?, he mouths. As they get closer, the new Director , gets introduced.

" This is Mr Ohm Thitiwat, our new Director of Sales & Marketing", James, the Revenue manager introduces

Director of Sales and Marketing: La Torre Azzura
Mr Ohm Thitiwat

"This is Sam, she one of the marketing coordinators, and this is..." "... Fluke Natouch", James gets cut off by Ohm before he could finish. Ohm says this as he smirks. Shock on Sam's face. She alternates looks between Ohm and Fluke.
"P'Ohm, y...you?" Fluke says, almost in a whisper, looking straight into Ohm's sharp and intense eyes. They have their eyes locked into each other's, and for some reason there seem to be having some kind of non-verbal conversation, because of the small smiles appear on the corner of their lips.
"Fluke, Fluke, FLUKE!", Sam whispers a shout while shaking Fluke trying to bring him back to earth.
"Oh, um, mhm-mhm. Y-yes, Sam". Fluke comes back to earth. Sam drags Fluke into the boardroom so they can start with meeting.

Fluke starts to hand out the folders, neatly and quietly placing them in front of each person, and then start the projector for the presentations. They need to come up with proposals on how they can start generating revenue again, as number of bums on the beds is declining. The hotel is not performing as well as it had been in the past.

This whole time, Fluke and Ohm continue to steal looks at each other and secretly smiling. Ohm thinks Fluke sexy with his ruffled locks (he decided to take Sam's advise on styling himself yesterday and kind of liked the messy look), and now here he is sitting directly across from him seducing him with big doe eyes and pretty smile. Not that Fluke can help it. It's just the way God created him.
