 Normandy coast, September

 

 

 

 A snub…

 

 High in de sky, the veil of clouds stretched slowly, gradually leaving bay of the Seine to reach coast of isle of Wight. A little shaken under a slight breeze, hand in hand, Vivian and me, walked briskly on famous board-walk of azobé wood towards the port. Almost desert to approach of noon, at that time we were along beach one side and Pompeian baths of the other.

 “How do you find our hotel, Sirena ?” Vivian asked me.

 “Sumptuous ! I knew you was extravagant, but certainly not enough to offer us, a suite in one most beautiful palaces of Deauville.”

 It's so stingy !

 “If I can manage to close the deal, despite the discount I should to do, my percentage will be high enough for pay us this little in lovers weekend.”

 “How much you think will lower the price ?”

 “In growth period, ten percent would have been a good deal, but given the current situation, I'm afraid to go that my boss can make, that is to say up to twenty.”

 As much as this ! I become livid.

 “And in this case… what would your profit yet ?”

 One "five stars » was perhaps not the right plan…

 “I will be entitled to two percent of that.” he said, pointing his finger on the large sum that I saw on the document he had came out of his briefcase.

 “My God ! But it's not bad at all.”

 “You're right, this should be my best sale ever since I entered the trade of boats.”

 “There I was imagining you accompany for selling a little boat, I'm very surprised.”

 “Look, here are the pictures… this luxury yacht nearly does forty waterline meters !”

 “What a beautiful fish !”

 “This is our top of the range. Usually our firm sells only one for year, and it's the boss who is responsible for this kind of transaction.”

 “What a chance, if I may say so, that he broke his leg by jet-ski in the Dominican Republic…”

 Poor man…

 “And also that Jacques, our best seller, has a strong flu… I think you made him much effect at the time of our annual festival. This is probably why he thought to call me rather than send one my colleagues.”

 It's clear…

 “Do you really think I'm for something ?”

 “Given the way he eyed your chest, when we were seated, there's no doubt that thou hast left a lasting impression…”

 His left eyebrow is raised…

 It isn't my fault if he saw my nipples when I was dancing !

 “You assume if you was chosen over another, the boss hopes that I'm having an influence on the outcome of case, isn't it ?”

 “I'm almost convinced. He strongly urged you came with me, however he wants me introduce you as my collaborator…”

 It's better for you not to have another…

 “What will make it ?”

 “Nothing special, just be a woman smiling and friendly.”

 An idiot girl…

 “Just to know… if you managed to reduce your discount, thou could receive compensation ?”

 “Of course, I could get half, but I don't believe it really. It seems that the client is tough, and according to our information he met other competitors without it having decided yet anything. We still have a chance…”

 This isn't won…

 “How is customer ?”

 “I've never seen it. It's Jacques who made to the visit during the boat show in Cannes. The only thing I know is that the big boss himself will be there. It seems he has a villa in the area.”

 “Probably a grumpy old paunchy.”

 Ugly also…

 “Whatever it's, the important is to sign with us.”

 He seems determined…

 “If… if you want me to do more, I will not hesitate to do so…”

 I'm crazy girl ?

 “Uh… yeah that's fine, but far would you go ?”

 Leave me a month to think about…

 “I don't know Vivian, I'll improvise.”

 “This is really what worries me…”

 What does he mean by that ?

 “A woman has possibilities that man hasn't.”

 “I pointed you that it's in a great restaurant that I invited this man and not in our hotel room.”

 Directly the big words…

 “Even with your consent, I wouldn't go to bed with him.”

 Warning Pinochio !

 “You reassure me. However, if the sale is concluded and that I can thanks to you, not lower the price, I guess you've hoping for a little compensation ?”

 No, it's by goodness…

 “You're agree to let me do things as I hear and we share the discounts that you'll have not consented.”

 Well said baby !

 “At least you know you want… Okay, but beware sweetie, you might have to give for that ultimately there's nothing in return.”

 Blablabla…

 “I take the risk, just like you took it by paying hotel and restaurant.”

 And soon this pretty fur coat that I saw in town…

 “In fact this is the company paying expenses… However, if I fail, I could maybe save my job but boss will not accept that I occupies yet me of the up scale models.”

 Goodbye chinchilla…

 “My love, listen to me… I've always believed in you and I'm ready to do my best to achieve our goals.”

 It seems to me that there's a chapka also…

 “With you a little it's too. I already fear to imagine how far your impulse may lead.”

 “Trust me, I'll do only what is necessary.”

 And even more…

 “I have a doubt.”

 You aren't the only one…
