Subject: $Commanding presence is all you need in life$

$The man that entered caught the glance of many the eye in the club, not only was he the owner, but her was superbly dressed in a black pinstripe suit, complete with gold cufflinks and red silk tie. Vivid green eyes passed over his establishment, and seeign that everything was being kept to his standerds he stepped further in, heading to his personal table in the back corner where he was able to have his privacy but keep an eye on the entire place. He never had to announce his presence, they just always knew when he was there, and he was sure one of his girls would be over soon enough to see what he wanted.$

He wasn't wrong... and she was soon sauntering over, in her uniform short white dress, to greet him. Her voice was smooth as ever, her bright and fun nature made her pretty popular with all the patrons, from everything to spilling there souls to flirting. "Hey Adrian... what can I get you?" (NT) -- Jade, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:19am PDT
$"Ahh, it's my beautiful Gem this evening is it?"$He had called her that ever since he had found out her name was Jade, he smiled easily, his manner swauve. None of his employees had ever found fault with him.$"I'll take a scotch to start off, and I'll let you decide what I want to eat this time, I trust your taste."$This was probably the only club around where you could have an amazingly fancy meal, relaxing drink, or a great dance floor.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:24am PDT
She flashed him an award winning smile and drops him a wink "No problem... I'll be right back with your scotch... Its busy tonight- got a good crowd in..." She flashes him another smile before turning and sauntering away, she'd always gotten along well with him- they had fun conversation... and she was still trying to get him to try one of her cocktails (NT) -- Jade, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:33am PDT
$He smirked, liking the sounds of that. Of course, when had any of his endevaours ever flopped? He had the magic touch when it came to making money. He watched her walk away and then settled down into his seat.$$ (NT) -- Adrien, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:39am PDT
She returned a little while later with his drink, setting it on the table with some pre-appitizers "I met you're cousin today Adrian... didn't catch his name though..." (NT) -- Jade, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:47am PDT
$He took a sip oh his drink.$"You'll have to be a bit more specific then that darling, I have a few of those."$He gave her that little half smile that he was known for, rarely did he smile using his full mouth, wonderful though it was.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:52am PDT
She smirked and rested a hand on his table, leaning her weight on it with a playful smirk, her voice low, noting wanting to annoy or embarras him by revealing his families issues in his club "The recovered coke addict..." (NT) -- Jade, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 11:57am PDT
$His features hardened slightly then smoothed out.$"Ah, Benito... he was half-decent I hope?"$Benito didn't have the best track record for being kind to those he knew let alone strangers.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Tue, Aug 10 2004, 12:00pm PDT
She cocks a brow and nods a touch, a slight smile tugging at the corner of her mouth "Yeah... we got along pretty good..." (NT) -- Jade, Thu, Aug 12 2004, 3:24am PDT
$He raised a brow.$"Oh? How interesting...and unusal."$He took a sip of his drink.$ "Why don't you take a break dear Gem... and sit with me a while. You can fill the old boss in on how things are going here, and I could always use the beautiful company."$ (NT) -- Adrien, Thu, Aug 12 2004, 8:30am PDT
She flashes him an easy smile before nodding slightly slipping elegantly into the seat he offered, her rather husky voice soft and relaxed around him. "Anything for the boss Adrian... but I think you know how things are going here..." He didn;t seem like the kiind of man to let anything slip under his nose unnoticed. (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 2:28pm PDT
$He smirked.$ "And it seems you can see beyond false truths. I will give in..but only this once, I have alteriormotives. I want you to accompany me to a dinner meeting I have tonight. I could use an attractive young woman to woe my guests in a way my charm can never hope to."$He grinned, that smooth grin that made so many woman's knees weak.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 2:36pm PDT
She laughs gently, she wasn't so easily fooled, she was street wise and fairly cynical of male attention, but she had no objections, at least he was being honest with her "Sure... I'll help you out... But its just smiles and flirts right? Nothing else?" (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 2:43pm PDT
$His brows rose, slight shock on his features, though it was all for her sake of course.$"What sort of man do you take me for my dear Gem? Of course it is only smiles and silly flirting.. I would never ask such things of you."$After all...he had Ariel for that.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 2:48pm PDT
She cocked a brow in return but nodded easily, her gaze easy on him, incredibly laid back and relaxed, as was he general outlook on life when she wasn't partying or being annoyed "I had to ask... make sure..." (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 2:58pm PDT
$He nodded.$ "Which is a smart thing I would say, though never worry about your welfare when it concerns me. I am not one to allow a..friend, come into harms way."$The way he paused when deciding what to call her was noticable. he knew this game..he knew it so well.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:02pm PDT
She cocked her head slightly, watching him still... she would hardly call herself his friend. His employee was more apt. "Thats cool... I'll do it... but I doubt I have the right kind of clothes for a dinner thing... what do you want me to wear?" (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:07pm PDT
$"It's just going to be a simple affair here..but oyu will need a dress."$He stuck his hand into his pocket and pulled out a credit card sliding it across the table towards her.$"Take this, and find one charge it to me. No sense on you spending your money on account of me."$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:16pm PDT
She frowned slightly at the card, but not in arrogance, just uncomfortable "I can't spend your money Adrian... you don't have to do that..." (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:25pm PDT
$He laughed$"Listen... I can afford a dress.. I have so much saved away that I won't even notice any is missing."$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:30pm PDT
She cocked her brow to him dubiously, though her fingers closed delicately around the card "Fine... but you get to keep the dress..." She didn't take charity... dispite her tough financial situation (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:33pm PDT
$"Nonsense... I have no need for a dress."$And before she could refuse,$ "And I will not tak eno for an answer."$His tone was stern and commanding, he was not a man who enjoyed being refused or disobeyed.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:39pm PDT
She pursed her lips a little before shrugging...this was afterall, a favour to him. "Alright Adrian... you win." A slight smirk tugged at her lips., of course he won, it was clear he was the kind of man who never lost. (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:44pm PDT
$"Now..you can leave as soon as you wish. Don't worry about the rest of your shift, you will continue beign paid for it. After all, you are helping me out."$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:47pm PDT
She arched a brow slightly and stood, brushing her curls back from her face easily "Should I see you back here?" (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:50pm PDT
$He nodded.$"Around 7:30, my buisness partners will be here about 8:00."$He prefered to be sitting down and ready when he was about to land a deal.$ (NT) -- Adrien, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:55pm PDT
She nodded easily, flashing him a slight smile "No worries... take it easy ..." She dropped him a wink and smiled before heading away, her hips switching in that tantalizing way they did, heading tot he bar to let them know what was going on (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 3:59pm PDT
##He was sitting there, hands cupping a glass of striaght whiskey. He appeared to be in his own world, ignoring anyone around him.## (NT) -- Benito, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:01pm PDT
She spoke breifly with the bar manager, telling him vaguely what was going on, mentioning Adrian and pointing him out, The guy just nodded at that- they were busy but what could he say? no? not likely. He gaze drifts to the guy beside her, instantly recognising him and a smile flickering over her lips "You came..." (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:08pm PDT
##"Huh?"##He looked up and recognition dawned over his features.##"Oh..it's you."##He shrugged.##"I had nothign better to do. What baout you?"##His eyhes fell to the credit card in her hands, of course not knowing that it belonged to ADrien.## (NT) -- Benito, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:12pm PDT
She cocked a brow gently, not sure why it was that she didn';t really want him to know what was going on with Adrian... he clearly didn't care much anyway "I'm just finishing my shift..." (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:21pm PDT
##He nodded.##"Heading home?"##He questioned, sipping at his drink. He spoke so nonchanlantly, as if he couldn't be bothered with anyhting.## (NT) -- Benito, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:28pm PDT
She shook her head slightly, turning to face him, resting her curvy hip against the counter "No...shopping..." (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:33pm PDT
##He raised a brow.##"Some how I didn't picture you as the shoppy type."## (NT) -- Bdenito, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:35pm PDT
She smirked slightly and nodded "Yeah you pictured right... but I need a dress... " She pursed her lip softly, her gaze frifting down tot he car, flicking it over (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:46pm PDT
##"A dress? What for?"##Obviously to him the idea of needing a dress was rediculous.## (NT) -- Benito, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:49pm PDT
She arched a brow to him with a slight smirk "So inquizative. A dinner if you must know...with you're cousin and some of his business assosiates" (NT) -- Jade, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 4:57pm PDT
##His somewhat pleasent features dropped righ tthen and were replaced by a pure scowl.##"F*ck it, you woman are all the same! You fall for all his charms..and his lies that it is a harmless supper. But he's either wanting you in one of their beds..or his own."##He yanked some bills from his pocket and tossed them on the bar angerly, downed the rest of his drink and after slamming the glass on the bar top he turned and pushed his way through the crowd, heading to the door. He couldn't find any decent woman around here..no matter what, they were all attached in some way to Adrien.## (NT) -- Benito, Fri, Aug 13 2004, 8:28pm PDT
