Sanji

August, I was wearing my black tribal shirt, my faded black jeans and my black skater shoes. The air conditioning unit is on full blast so I have to wear my blue hoodie jacket and my black cap.

I was very proud of myself that day because I hit my personal daily sales target. The shift is about to end, unfortunately we have to drain the queue because I was part of the closer team. A lot of nesters and newhires are already taking calls.

I caught glimpse of this new rep. She has shoulder length burgundy hair. She was wearing dark shades, a checkered blouse covered by a brown wool jacket. Her lips were full, she was petite but yet she has the right curves at the right places, an eye candy.

She was bubbly and she was walking around the production area like she owned the place. Every where she went my eyes followed. She was full of energy, full of life.

"Violet her name is Violet." Dan said with a smirk on his face.

"I didn't ask you." I said frowning but my heart was jumping with glee knowing her name.

"Well your face is painted with the look, like you wanted to know her name. You don't have to ask me." He laughed eyeing me

"Thanks man." I surrendered and raised my hand to admit my defeat

Somewhere from the room one of the Subject Matter Expert yelled,

"One access line and DSL for Violet!"

Tough luck! I said as my eyes continued to enjoy watching her as she danced through the production floor so happy after making a successful sale.

The shift has just ended and I had nothing else to do I went out to get my cellphone from my locker then I stayed at the lobby and played my favorite past time, Zombie Tsunami.

The newbees came out together with their Subject Matter Expert. This sure was a noisy batch I thought. And then I heard a familiar giggle, I heard Violet's voice.

"I never thought I would be endorsed!" She said with a victorious look painted on her face

Well good for you.. I mentally said as I looked back to check out who was talking, eyeing her from head to toe.

"I was shocked when I heard that you weren't included." She told her wave mate with an I am sorry look drawn on her face.

"Guys I want you to meet Sanji he was one of the top agents on the floor and he was the top agent right after he graduated from nesting!" Zee said

"Tsk. What an introduction.. Thanks Zee." I said sarcastically

"And guys he is cocky,I remembered he refused my help during nesting!" Zee continued, as what I expected there will be a follow up.

"Oh come on get over it. I just wanted to learn on my own." I said (My eyes focused on my cellphone)

"So what is your secret?" Violet asked as she looked at me peeking through her shades

"Me? Are you asking me?" I asked her while I looked straight to her eyes.

She nodded like a student waiting from a teachers response.

"It's Product Knowledge!" I laughed as I replied

And that was how I met her 7 months ago. We became team mates and seatmates after a week, then I was assigned to help her, mentor her.

"If you cannot sell units you have to learn to maximize selling bolt-ons on every call." I coached her inhaling her scent

"Can you teach me how?" She asked with a puppy look

"I said sure who could refuse that puppy look..." (I blushed and turned away) Then I scribbled on some notes and gave it to her.

"This is how you pitch on some of them." I said as I reached out to give her the notes.

She didn't know I had a crush on her.

Weeks passed, she took my number and then we started texting. And then we were already betting on revenues per day.

Then we were assigned to a new supervisor.

"Are you guys going to the party?" Violet asked with an excited look painted all over her face

"Of course! I love to drink..." I said sounding bored.

"I am heartbroken so I'll drink my ass off..." I continued

"Welcome to the club then!" She said with her smile almost reaching her ears.

I thought, good she is single at least I could get to know her more.

"Guys let's have breakfast together." Our new boss said waiting for everyone to answer with a hopeful look all over her face.

"Sure Boss!" Everyone in the team replied

We usually had this aftershift breakfast to destress ourselves from a stressful shift. That morning we agreed to hangout at the beach house owned by my landlord. I asked my friends to prepare our breakfast for a fee and luckily they agreed.

We sang the videoke, we ate a hearty meal and drank a few shots. Then an unfamiliar face came.

"Sanji meet my friend, Louie he works at the Metro. He was a former workmate from my previous job." Violet introduced looking flustered.

"Welcome dude! Enjoy the food." I just said with a curious look as I checked Violet's expression

Although I was jealous I didn't show no hint of it. Hell the guy was good looking.

A few days later;

"It's party time!" I told her

"Yeah see you later!" Violet replied and winked

I came early at the party because I had to make sure that the place is ready. Then I saw her walking, she was wearing a hot white blouse and a small cute black skirt. She was scanning the place till she found me.
