Of her soft, reassuring hugs, her gentle squeezes, the little hand-holds that simply let her know she was there and around. In the past, they’d been Nissa’s lifeline to stability, and the gateway to many more lustful touches and sounds with the woman. Now, the woman inspired strength and confidence in Nissa to step out of her comfort zone of Naughty Otter, and into the proverbial ring with a known big-leaguer like Mateo Lucas.<br/><br/>After moving back to her own desk, Nissa checked in with Liz, making sure the meeting room was prepped. While she wasn’t interested in changing her company’s image to fit some Wall-Street-business mold type gamer studio that she was sure Mr. Lucas was used to, she was not about to have their place look sloppy.<br/><br/>Even as she was on a phone call about a hiring issue in their logistics group, Nissa was informed the moment Mateo Lucas entered their building. She was someone who believed in treating all employees well, equally, and found that was one of the best ways to keep up with the information necessary to run a growing company with limitless potential. Where Becky excelled at the coding and computer aspect in the gaming world, Nissa was just as talented on the business end of things. The alert on her phone disappeared and she quickly began to wrap up the phone call, asking for a group meeting to be scheduled later in the week to continue the discussion and come to a consensus.<br/><br/>As if on cue, Liz’s lithe form walked hurriedly past her office to go collect the CEO of Abyss World, Inc. Nissa sent a quick text back to the security desk and answered one more email before standing and moving to where a small closet was tucked into the shared corner of her and Becky’s office. She opened it to reveal the floor-length mirror on the inside and immediately began adjusting her outfit and touching up her makeup. The sounds of Becky’s fingers on the keyboard helped keep her calm, silencing any butterflies in her stomach.<br/><br/>She was back to her desk and setting out the hard-copy papers she would want in her folder when Liz slipped back into the office with a soft knock. “Mr. Lucas is here to see you guys!” She said, almost excitedly. The dark-haired assistants high and pin-straight ponytail almost bounced with her nervous excitement. “I’ve put him in the boardroom for the meeting, just as requested. Also, he is MUCH cuter in person!”<br/><br/>Nissa laughed softly, grinning up at the assistant. “Excellent news, Liz. Thank you,” she said with a wink and then began gathering her notepad, iPad, and documents. “Why don’t you follow us in, and while we make the introductions, you can set out all the drinks and treats?” She moved around the desk and waited for Becky to join her before leading the ladies out of their office and down the hallway, crossing over to the official meeting room at Naughty Otter.<br/><br/>Although most of their astetic was laid-back and relaxed business casual, the meeting space was built with a bit higher-level eye. The matte black table was long, wide, and stretched the length of the room. Power outlets were hidden in compartments that popped up throughout the middle of it, and chairs that mimicked the professional gamer-chair look lined the outside. More straight-back chairs sat along one edge of the room, with the opposite end wall being filled with wipe-boards that could be moved to reveal large digital screens. Another long wall held windows to the outside, with blinds that could adjust to the amount of natural light needed in the room, and the other wall was coated sound-proof frosted glass, along with the doorway. It was colored in grays and deep greens, giving a calming effect, but also neutral tones that could blend into the background of any conversation happening within the space.<br/><br/>Nissa entered first through the doorway, her bright eyes immediately searching the room and finding Mateo Lucas. Liz was right – the man was more handsome in person. Domineering, confident, and every bit of him exuded business. She knew his background. It had been one of the first things she had researched when the opportunity to meet with the head of Abyss came up. She also knew the man was cut-throat and knowledgeable.<br/><br/>None of her perceptions though about him showed on her face as she set her arm-load down and approached the suited man in her boardroom. Nissa extended a hand, the smile on her face welcoming and open. “Mr. Lucas, hi. I’m Anissa LePage. Thank you for making your way here for the meeting.” She was careful not to give anything away in her greeting, and shook his hand with ease, no matter the strength of his grip. “I know you’ve met Liz already, but this is my partner, Becky Warren.” She let go of the man’s hand and turned to introduce the others in the room, taking charge as was her usual role.<br/><br/>Liz scooted quietly around the other side of the table and made herself busy setting out waters and the platters of snacked goods she and Becky had picked out for the meeting. Becky, who Nissa was smiling at, stepped up then, to greet Mateo Lucas.
