The ringing phone broke Carmen's intent focus on the screen in front of her, reaching over she hit the speaker button,
"Your four thirty appointment is here..." said the receptionist.
Glancing at her watch, she raised an eyebrow, they were fifteen minutes late.
"Tell them I'll be right down."
Hanging up, she locked her screen, no need for them to see she'd been researching for this meeting. Standing, then stretching, Carmen smoothed her sleeveless blouse down, she debated momentarily whether or not to put on her jacket on to cover the tattoo running from her shoulder to her back for this important first meeting. Chuckling, she opted for not - her tamed skin and the tattoo simply emphasised how much of a warrior in business she was. Smoothing her black pencil skirt down around her toned thighs, she clipped off to reception.
"And you must be my four thirty..."
Carmen stated simply.
The two sitting at reception stood quickly. The tall blonde guy with warm smile offered his hand to Carmen.
Carmen took the hand, and shook it as he introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm David, and this is-"
"Lindsay, and I am so sorry we are late, this eejit took the wrong turning and refused to listen to the Sat-nav.", her Irish lilt obvious, as she stepped forward to shake Carmen's hand.
As the raven haired Lindsay, shook hands with Carmen, David's eyes widened as he took in the striking Latina and his manager. This meeting was going to prove more difficult to focus than he would ever had predicted.
"Don't worry about it, I don't know why men never listen to a woman's directions. They would do so much better if they did, Lindsay." Carmen said.
"If only, if only."
"Come this way." Said Carmen as she turned in her heels, walking back to her office.
Lindsay glared at David for a moment, but he stood back, being the gentleman, offering to let her go first.
"You should have listened to the sat-nav." She whispered as she followed down the corridor.
David, followed behind, his eyes alternating between the rears of the two women, and a huge grin on his face.
At various points during the meeting, David was caught admiring each of the women, causing him to grin and briefly focus on the meeting.
However, David was not the only one admiring the women. Both Lindsay and Carmen caught each other's admiring glances, eliciting twirling of hair and subtle physical contact from the other.
After a long period of discussion, mostly between the two women, Lindsey stood, her figure hugging thigh length skirt emphasising the curve of her backside, and followed Carmen down the hall, discussing the minutiae of the last discussion point.
In the cubicle, Lindsay momentarily held her face in her hands. Carmen such an attractive woman, were these signs that she too was interested? Was that just what she was like? Taking a deep breath she stood, and flushed the toilet. Opening the door she was somewhat taken aback to see Carmen stood at the mirror applying lipstick.
sat back in her chair suddenly.
