<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ad/Emilie_autumn3.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Lulu Bennett -</strong> <em>Working the Front Desk...</em></span></div><br/>As Paul left with his new room key, she waved with a cheerful grin when he turned but Lulu's eyes soon found themselves trailing after him appreciatively and she didn't turn until he was out of view. She had to admit, working at a gallery and studio definitely had its perks. Plenty of eye candy to go around and she never got tired of admiring a few of the displays.<br/><br/>It looked like the rest of the models had left with the lil' green Tasmanian devil. Only Mr. Pierce and the new girl were left with Miss Myobi. Probably discussing another new piece he'd like. He showed up often, Mr. Pierce that is, and by now Lulu knew how to cater to him...or risk a visit from her boss.<br/><br/>Then again, Miss Myobi really wasn't half bad. Sure, she'd scold and scowl and make you feel like a kid again but she usually always forgave. So far the worst she'd heard of was some of Kunoichi's paycheck being cut to pay for part of the repairs she caused. Hopefully she'd never get there, that woman was scary when pissed. Better not to push her luck.<br/><br/>Spinning her chair to face the front, her gum smacked in her mouth as she slowly blew a bubble, trying to get it as big as possible. Hey, you had to do<em>something</em>to keep yourself entertained here and her newest past time was attempting to get one as big as her head. By the time her chair was finally facing forward, the dark blue gum (which matched her makeup for the day) was big enough that she was going cross-eyed.<br/><br/><em>Lulu, how long do you think Aline will be with that...gentleman?</em><br/><br/>The familiar voice snapped her out of her latest task and she almost inhaled her gum. "M-mister Pranger!" Today was just not her day. Although her mouth was still unmistakably blue, a thin layer of the sticky candy was smeared over her lips, around the mouth, and even a bit had managed to touch onto her nose. "Err...I uh...just a minute!"<br/><br/>Blushing, her cheeks held a hint of pink now despite the thick layer of powder. Craning her neck, she quickly peeled off the stretchy film and turned back quickly. Perhaps it was due to her always wearing a rather heavy layer of makeup that despite just potentially peeling some off, her face still looked fine...except for the little bit still stuck to the tip of her nose.<br/><br/>"Well, it looks like she's busy with Mr. Pierce right now. He usually comes and browses around and sometimes he'll find something he likes. Those usually never take long but it looks like he's ah...taken a liking to the new girl." She didn't even know "new girl's" name, but she didn't have to be a genius to see that the buyer had taken a particular liking to her. From where she sat, his roaming hand could clearly be seen and those fingers weren't just staying still.<br/><br/>"Maybe like...fifteen minutes?" It was already nearly noon so she assumed Mr. Pierce's lunch awaited. But who knew?<br/><br/>
