I had been working really hard at the office one day with just so many clients to contact before the day was through. It was almost my lunch break but I decided to make a couple of more calls before I left. I called James R. Peterson because he was easier to talk to and I have to admit, he had a pretty sexy voice. Just thinking about what he looked like made me shiver all over my body. So, I picked up the phone and dialed meticulously. It rang three times and then unfortunately the answering machine picked up.
"You've reached the voice mail of James Peterson, Director of Marketing. I'm unavailable to speak with you at the moment but if you leave a detailed message I will call you back as soon as possible."
Then I heard the beep.
"Hello, Mr. Peterson. This is Carmen calling, from..."
"Hello, Carmen "
He picked up the phone and I was startled and somewhat nervous. I was grateful he didn't pick up at first because when I speak to this sexy voiced business man I get weak in the legs. Like his voice alone can make me submit.
"Mr. Peterson, what a pleasant surprise Screening calls, are we?"
"To be honest, Carmen I hadn't really wanted to speak to anyone today. I've been avoiding all my calls but when I heard your voice, I just had to pick up. I enjoyed talking with you yesterday about the Lindenberg account."
"Enjoyed talking about that? Very funny, Mr. Peterson. You know very well it's hardly something to enjoy."
"Well, it's not always the topic that's important. Sometimes it's who you speak to that makes all the difference."
Oh my, I thought. This is incredible. Could this, possibly, very handsome business man feel the same way about my voice as I do his. I figured I should take the chance...
"Well, Mr. Peterson. I was calling you about the account but I thought that we should perhaps speak further and discuss your future with this company. How about today at 5:00?"
