The new Receptionist Amanda, who had only been working for the firm for a few months, joined around the same time Christian joined the Firm, and sat in on a bunch of the same HR meetings for new hires as Christian. She was easy on the eyes, had a charming smile and always wore an infectious perfume.  She definitely brought a smile to his face when they interacted at work, though Christian kept it strictly platonic, but having eye candy in the office was always a perk.<br/><br/>Amanda had one too many drinks this evening, and was extremely bubbly, and flirtatious and gravitated to Christian as he texted Serena, looking around for his wife.  Her top barely held in her enormous boobs, and he had a hard time maintaining eye contact with her, as she gushed over his cologne and how much fun she was having at the party.  Suddenly, a familiar scent crept up on Christian and arm wrapped around his, Serena's voice interrupted their conversation, like a piercing knife.  Though Christian wasn't entertaining the flirtatious advances, which he chalked up to Amanda just being a bit drunk, his heart raced and swallowed a lump ion his throat as if he had been caught doing something wrong.<br/><br/>"Oh Hey Hun, Wha what are you up to?" he stuttered as he waved bye  to Amanda and dragged by what seemed to be an upset wife.  "Oh she's our new Receptionist, Amanda I think her name is" Christian murmured, feeling hot under the collar and sweaty palms, feeling like he had to reassure his wife.  "She's sweet, but nothing compared to you Hun!" he smiled a cheesy grin.<br/><br/>Trying to change the subject of the conversation, Christian asked how her evening was and again apologized for leaving her for such a lengthy time at the evening party.  "Sorry for leaving your side for so long, but I made some solid connections and possibly have my foot in the door for a promotion in a few months. Hope you weren't so bored.  I was curious where you disappeared to.I looked all over for you and couldn't find you."<br/><br/>He pressed the down button for the elevator, and they stepped into it, leaving the party. They rode down to the Lobby and exited the grand hotel, walking towards their car.
