Some of them she knew or had heard of but others she hadn't. Chris was a young hot shot in the agency so chances are some of these people were trying to suck up and or ride his coat tails to success. She was relieved evertime someone came up that the recognized. Office events were always a minefield of corporate politics. This was a big reason why she choose to go it her own, she just didn't have the patience for it like Chris did. As they made their way threw the little cliques of people they bumped into Ben. He was a man that she had heard Chris mention a few times, nice fellow, older, been with the firm for awhile as she recalled. Apperently he was also one of the more talkative ones and kept them in place for several minutes chatting. Nice guy but he held her hand just a moment to long when they were introduced and his palms were sweaty.<br/><br/>Saddling up to the bar was a relief she needed a drink. Chris read her mind and ordered exactly what she needed. He was so awesome, knew exactly what she liked and didn't even have to ask. She took the drink and sipped it making a personal toast with him.<br/><br/><em>"Toast to us babe, , to a fun and unforgettable night, with lots of drinks and no regrets..And lots of sex tonight when we get home," he added with a chuckle, clanking his glass gently against her's and taking a long savoring swallow.</em><br/><br/>Charlie's shoulders shook with laughter, her husband was just to adorable. She leaned into him at this toast and whispered.<strong> "Why wait until we get home?"</strong>Her eyebrows danced conspiratorially. She gave him a somewhat goofy long exaggerated wink with her lips curled into a broad grin. That was about the time that the lights brightened and the CEO took the stage to do his thing. She clapped along with all the others and even gave an enthusiastic little woot along with some other people when he ended by telling them all to have fun this evening.<br/><br/><em>"Babe, hate to ditch you but I'll be back in 5, gotta pee and see if I can chat with Mr. Brockard real quick." He planted a soft kiss on her lips, tasting of rum and made a bolt for the Men's room as the lights came back down low and the band started jamming again.</em><br/><br/>Charlie said after him,<strong>"Hey no sleeping with the boss..."</strong>She gave up on the rest of the joke as Chris was clearly distracted and on a mission.<br/><br/>With those words he was off and she was left holding her drink and laughing as she turned back to the crowds. Her eyes wondered around looking for any of her friends. One of them, Annabelle who was married to another agent at the firm came by to say hello but couldn't stay because her and her husband, Chris's friend Donald, had to leave the party. Donald was elsewhere making his goodbyes before they left. It was shame, they were a nice couple and lots of fun to be around. But they had children and apparently their sitter took ill. She said goodbye to Annabelle and told her to text tomorrow. After that she was back to standing there alone and watching the crowds. She sighed softly sipping her drink and trying to look like she was actively waiting for someone.<br/><br/><br/>
