The piano keys provoked a dramatic outburst of anger as they were drummed in deep notes , then slowly descended into sweeter sounds spiralling into the listener's eardrums to savour the art of dramatic confusion , undeniable ilision and a pleasant change to an unexpected motion of feelings conjured up. The sound of clapping in the background forced a hault, a reaction to the unexpected company. The piano player's hands slowly drifted off the grand instrument as he paid his attention to the audience, "you're good" the voice in the background commented "well I try my best" Leo replied "is that all your hands are cappable of playing, the piano?" The voice uttered as it came closer, Leo smiled, grabbing her legs calmly layed her on his lap and kissed her shoulder continuously to her ear, "Well they're also capable of handling hearts, do you wanna know the tune they make?" He asked as he whispered into her ear, she looked at him "no I'm not that type of girl" "what type is that?" He asked as he continued to caress her "The type who gives their heart away to strangers they've just met and besides your hands would only drop mine, I'm only having fun!", she screamed then quickly laughed at the irritation of his teeth softly biting her ear "good we're on the same page then" he spoke seductively,"now let this pen flow" his last words as he lifted her body by her legs to his bedroom.
The ignition of a new black stallion porsche began the destination to WHI at 120km/h as 200km/h was not attainable in the busy N1 highway from Midrand, the first appointment at 09:00 could not be missed as it was a matter of agency the last call at 06:00 had stressed. "May don't worry I'm on my way, traffic is jammed at the moment so call in and tell everyone I'll be there at 08:45 ok, thanks" the call was Imidiately hung up. The curved tailights turned red as the vehicle haulted at the red lit robots " Sowetan! Only R9, Beeld R7,50 my brother! Do you have 50cents please bhuti? I'm hungry only 50 would do, please my family needs this." the commotion at the robots and uncalled for windscreen washers only instigated more frustration as the screeching sound of tires quickly drove off at the green lights.
"May!"Leo called anxiously "You're late! They're in the boardroom". Leonardo quickly lay his suitcase on his table and rushed off to the boardroom. " You're late senior" Wendy stated as emphasis to Leo's decorum in his new position, "I was stuck in traffic," he repeated the cliché excuse "well then take a seat we don't want to waste any more time". Mike continued his presentation "Miss Clarke, I don't presume anyone else could brighten the day as you can? So I'd like you to be the first to meet miss Lee, maybe brighten her day, help her blossom, while I look into the root of the matter" he smiled amused "well Mike" the vibrant sound from behind the back of the table massaged the ear, as it echoed smooth melodies grabbing attention, "I don't know if that's your best approach to punchlines, it seems your mentor failed you, it's quite sad that you'd assume that I being a woman should be the first to approach the old lady and do all the emotitive work, beauty does have brains, your ignorance can be argued but I'd like to know, do you even have a women to please in your life? I don't mean one you pay of course?" She asked rhetorically, and stirred a bit of a commotion between the attendances "certainly doesn't look like it, a little bit of fat would help hide those bones wouldn't you agree? I wouldn't want to bust your bubble Mike neither would I like to be lost in translation (in relation to the chinese flourist) your information is certainly insufficient in this case and doesn't show any content of how we should approach the situation, therefore I'd like to conduct the case in an overall manner that is entailed with details rather than just a drastic approach, following the votes of fellow seniors after my presentation, where I'd produce solutions, not just a handful of ideas to a problem of course , then we'll see who needs to make the flourist lady blossom" a few smiles proved Mike's embarrassment as the lady in a ivory suit with leopard gold Tom Ford heels to match stood for her presentation.
My eye's were focused on one of the most intolerant feminists in business, her etiquette only suggested that she wasn't here to make friends nor acquaintances, but she meant business. Heads nodded as the battle royal of the two co-workers was initiated, as expected Mike was not happy, rather irritated than anything else as he sat down. "By the way late comer, this is our new hopefully temporary junior partner miss Clarke, Emilia Clarke", as Wendy made a proud introduction hinting that miss Clarke's position did not suit her, but one higher, finally a woman she can confide in about the uselessness of man as she would say on occasions, man never getting it right. "Miss Clarke, this is Leonardo" "pleasure to meet you" they both shook hands as they exited the boardroom, " I was not aware that we are hiring" "hmm well I guess a little competition is healthy" Mike led off irritated.
"So you heard?" " so I did," "what do you think?" " a 6" "hmm liar more like an 11" "maybe," a pause "well she is hot" "intensely hot, and out of your league I'd add" "beyond my intentions but not far off my control" "insinuating that she's not easy nor a one night stand?" "yes but not impossible to turn into whatever I want her to be", "well Mr confident somethings are just not attainable," "listen Mary we've had this talk before and I've always come out on top," "oh please Leo stop poluting the air with your testosterone, I know you feel like you're the man now because you've grown some balls but please don't let me bring out the history book"
"History book? how intriguing indulge me in your hobbies," "Well Jessica," "Mary, point of correction I did get with Jessica," "Yes after you sulked and drowned in tears when she placed you on the friend zone," "this argument is pointless because in the end I get what I want," "but at that point you were foolishly looking for love", "foolishly you say?" "I'm sorry for being insensitive but everyone knew she was no keeper, yet you insisted that she'd never break your heart," "so now from getting women you're gonna discuss my past relationship problems" "that is the point of the argument you can't get whatever you want from a woman". "Miss know it all, what do you think I want from this woman?" "Love" "is that so?" "You wouldn't be sleeping with different women every weekend if you were content, and nothing is more fulfilling than the feeling of appreciation, being challenged to the extent of growth, having someone supporting you in all different angles of life and mastering your personality in ways that would amaze you,"Mary emphasised," and what would make you assume this women is the one?" "I have a feeling she's got everything you want in a woman" " what you've mentioned I'd assume is what you think I want," "yes" "it is true, Mary you see good in everyone when there is non to be seen, I've got news for you, not everyone wants perfection, some people just want adventure, and that is more than any fulfilment we need," " and by 'we', you mean all men or the insecure ones" "insecure is the last thing on my vocabulary, you don't get it not everyone can love."
