Sam Kerr x The Management Agent

Chapter 5 | Media Training...

Third Person POV:

It had been a couple of days since the two had met for an agency meeting – being the weekend and all. The tension between them was no longer there – neither of them people to hold grudges. So far Sam had stayed out of trouble and Camila hadn't had any situations to deal with. It was Sunday morning and Camila made her usual coffee run to her local café where the smile on Dean's face awaited her. She really enjoyed Dean's company despite their limited time together in the café - plus it helped that he happened to be extremely attractive. A nice visual to start the day each morning. (He's around 22 years old).

"Hello, Hello" Camila says entering with a smile plastered across her face. "I'll stay in today I think Dean" she says approaching the counter

"Anything for you Cami" he says as he starts getting the coffee machine ready. "The usual?"

"You know me too well D" she replies.

Mila's POV:

Eventually Dean delivers the coffee with the image of a swan in the foam to the little table.

"Sit for a sec?" I ask.

He scans across the room noticing no ones in there who may need service.

"C'mon no one's here, if someone comes, I'll let you get back to your work but for now..." I say tapping the seat next to me.

He sits and we chat for a while which is nice because we never really get time to do so.

Minutes pass almost turning into an hour of conversation.

Eventually he builds up to something. "Would you like to maybe go out with me Wednesday?" He asks mostly with confidence but also with a bit of shyness.

I look at his eyes for a little while. "Sure, I'd like that. Pick me up at 6? I've got an early start Thursday". I say getting up and ready to leave as I notice a customer enter the café. "I'll text you" I finish, already having exchanged numbers.

Monday morning came around and it was time to get back to work. I spent the weekend further constructing a plan after doing some more research on the whole Sam situation.

I walk into the familiar conference room, coffee in hand with "see you Wednesday :)" written on the side, not even noticing it as my hand covered it.

"Kerr" I say acknowledging Sam's presence in the room.

"Camila" she replies doing the same thing.

I placed down my things and get settled, setting up the projection screen to go over the slideshow I prepared. I hear Sam chuckle under her breath as she sits leaned back in the chair (the familiar position), her arms crossed Infront of her with a small smirk cornering her mouth. I turn back around to face her. "What?" I question, almost fed up with her smart-ass attitude.

"Date Wednesday?" She asks making strong eye contact with me – one I could not hold. I look away back to the screen continuing to set it up.

"If you must know, yes". I reply. The room falls silent again for a few seconds.

She adopts a sarcastic tone "You know, I'm not sure your 'casual hook-ups' are good for my image and reputation. Distraction is not ideal for someone who I'm trusting to fix my career" she leans forward on the table, teasing the words Camila once echoed to her.

"Kerr, I don't believe that's any of your business. My personal life never has and never will be involved with my work life." I reply finally setting up the slide show. "Now let's gets back to business, shall we?".

Sam's POV:

I don't know why but it bothered me that she was going on dates after having been here for only a couple of weeks. Particularly when she's supposed to be here to fix my issues. I let it go though, because if she's right and can keep personal life separate to work life then I shouldn't be concerned.
