The fighter and the maid

[Aussie_Wolf]

Hunter quickly scanned through the papers making sure she had signed and initialed everywhere, then nodded. He had already signed the paperwork himself so all that was left was to send it off to his lawyers to make everything official.

Smiling he thought how it would actually be her first official act as his Secretary.

"Well then everything seems to be in order," he said as he put the papers to one side. "Now before we get down to the easy part of your job and the other things we need to discuss, let's get the hard part out of the way shall we."

He looked at her and smiled shyly. "Look Luna I know this might be a little difficult, but would it be any easier if I said you are actually a very beautiful woman. I am not expecting you to just jump into bed with me and be all excited about it. Well actually I was kind of hoping for someone who could kind of do that if truth is told," he said grinning sheepishly. "My last employee had a high sex drive and told me that a lot of cat's did."

Blushing again he looked up at her and stammered, "N..N..not that I am expecting you to. It is just that it has proven easier to employ a certain type of female."

Groaning he gave up. "I am making a fool of myself aren't I. This is why the employment agency was supposed to do their job correctly." Sighing he looked at her. "Okay let me ask you a question. I guess you can actually see yourself sleeping with me as you have taken the job, However what can I doto make that a pleasant experience instead of a chore."

Blushing even more he looked away then forced himself to look at her properly. "What I am saying is miss Luna. What turns you on?"

 

[Mairu]

Luna smiled as Hunter spoke, nodding before listening to him, curious because of what he said. Hard part? He must mean the sex part. Hmm, how unusual that the employer part would consider it the hard part. Then he spoke again and she listened quietly a little amused and surprised by his words. Amused because of what the one lady said, surprised by him realizing this being difficult for her and not being excited about doing stuff with him. Wow was he unusual. It was almost unrealistic. He did still buy a human so that was his one realistic characteristic.

Luna then raised an eyebrow when he stuttered. He was actually embarrassed about this? How unusual could this guy get?! Then she watched, stunned, as he groaned, speaking about how he was making a fool of himself and Luna kept quiet for now, letting him speak. Then he asked her the question. At first Luna didn't understand and then he said it straightforward and she blushed a very deep red. "U-um......." Luna actually didn't know how to answer, because her tastes were, unique. So she had to answer this carefully, avoiding the dangerous area of her likes. She couldn't say that yet, there had to be a deep level of trust and she just met this guy yesterday. "W-well I am clean shaven and try to keep clean so if you don't mind because of those things I like being licked and also, I can do some parts of this but one thing I don't like is taking a cock in my mouth. One is cause it's work to get it in my mouth and two, guys nice or not like to push the girls mouth down. I can lick kiss and stroke up that's all the farther I like to go. I am sorry because I know guys like that and I will do my best if you do but it's just a little uncomfortable for me." Luna then blushed. "I also like being seduced. Starting slow, whispering in my ear, giving me gentle kisses, kissing my neck, just rubbing my breasts gently. Start slow and then get into the naughty stuff after a bit. Also just tell me if there is anything you don't like. If you don't like to lick I don't want to make you feel like you have to, so if you don't like it don't do it. I would like to know if you don't want me doing something cause you don't like it also. Please I would like if you tell me yoru likes and dislikes too." Luna then went quiet, blushing a very deep red and looking at the floor, fidgeting slightly.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Hunter smiled wide. "Actually I am glad you like going slow. I do like to explore a woman's body so I am happy you like that. As for you not liking to take me in your mouth, well I can understand that. I won't say that I am not a little disappointed as I do like it, but we can work around it. As you say, you don't mind actually licking and kissing it so I am sure we will come to an understanding there."

Smiling at her his eyes twinkled as he looked her over a little more. "As for me I guess I am a bit like you. I like to be kissed and stroked as well. I like to know that what I am doing to my partner is being appreciated, so while I don't need you to be a screaming banshee," he chuckled, "I do appreciate some vocal feedback and words of encouragement if you understand what I mean. I also enjoy sex in both my forms and I hope you do as well and I enjoy various positions and I have no need to always dominate my partner, so I do not mind you being on top."

Blushing again he coughed a little then spoke. "Ahh now what about various other aspects of sex that might be considered a little beyond the normal. I am talking about Anal sex, BDSM, Dressing up, that type of thing. Do you have any thoughts on those sorts of things. I will tell you straight away though that I have no intentions of physically harming you." He got a far away look in his eyes as if remembering something then his eyes snapped back into focus. "I do not enjoy that, however certain other aspects could be discussed."

 

[Mairu]

Luna listened as Hunter spoke, nodding as he said he said he was a little disappointed but Luna was happy he was taking into consideration about the licking and kissing, and she could stroke too while doing those as well. Luna then blushed as he looked her over a bit more while speaking again and she listened, happy to learn he was a bit like her. At least that much was could even though she really didn't know him and was still a little uncomfortable being that intimate with someone she didn't really know, still she could enjoy it a little maybe. Then he said about being vocal and encouraging she nodded but felt a tiny bit grim, knowing she wasn't good at that, especially when she didn't know him too much. Really all it boiled down to was not knowing him that much. If only she could get to know him a little bit better, maybe have a week to get to know him more and then maybe she would feel a little better.

Then he spoke about doing it in both forms and actually she liked that. Really in her full snow leopard form she didn't have the same needing to know the person as she did in human but it also made her submit a bit more and she was afraid of what would happen if he found about THAT side of her. Then he just had to bring the subject up. He just had to didn't he? After he spoke Luna fell silent for a minute before deciding to go through a few of them but hoped she wouldn't have to touch on the BDSM much. She didn't want her thoughts getting out about that just yet. "Well I have no problems dressing up and if you have any cosplay or anything you would like me to wear I am okay with that. No anal sex though. I'm sorry but for me I don't think of it as very erotic and only if I am with 2 guys would I ever think of doing it. Mainly the thing is I don't like my pussy being left without a cock if doing anal, just how I feel about it. I know this from being in heat. Don't ask please. Also............" Luna then got a serious look. "I really would like to get to know you better before letting out my position on BDSM. I am sorry but that kind of thing, I just can't tell someone I just met. Even if you won't hurt me I need to trust you a little more than just based on your word. So far you have my trust but I am not totally comfortable giving that kind of information to you just yet. Actually if you let me have some time before I tell you that earns a bit more trust then if you make me tell you. I'm sorry if I'm jumping my position but I have some things I like to keep private until I really know someone." Luna hoped Hunter would understand, having a look of unease on her face as she awaited his answer.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

So, She had a little secret Hunter thought. Maybe it would be something he would be able to help her with and maybe it would be something he would be a little uncomfortable with. Well whatever it was it he would not learn about it until they became a lot more comfortable with each other.

"That is fine Luna. I can understand why you want to keep some things private. It is better if these things develop naturally," he smiled.

Getting up from behind the desk he stepped around it and approached her. "Speaking of which, I think it would be best if we did not try to push the sex thing between us straight away. Perhaps we should treat this situation like a blind date," he smiled awkwardly. "Please allow me to take you out to dinner later so we can get to know each other better."

He took her hand and raising it up to his lips he gave it a brief kiss and then released it.

Moving back behind the desk he sat down and booted up his computer. "Well enough about that for now. Let's discuss your other duties and how you would like to decorate your rooms."

Scanning his lists he turned the monitor so they could both see it. "As you can see, my schedule is free for awhile. However coming up is a tournament in Houston that is to be fought as a human, then one in Texas that is a shifter. After that is a large tournament in Japan. I will tell you more about that one when it gets closer."

Pointing to several other dates he grimaced. "These are sponsor shoots. Don't worry I already know what is expected of me on these, but you will have to contact the representatives to confirm that nothing has been changed several days before the shoots. The numbers are on the computer I gave you as is a copy of this schedule. My agents number is also on there and he normally deals with all of this so if there are any problems do not hesitate to call him, make him earn his 7.5%."

"As for your other duties, we can discuss those as they come up. There will be some regular Secretarial work and if you are serious about sparring with me I will not hesitate to take you up on that offer."

Smiling he looked over at her. "Now we really need to get you settled into your rooms. We can't have you sleeping on the floor again. Please feel free to order from any of the major stores and drop my name. I guarantee they will have it delivered and installed very quickly or you. In fact you will probably find you will probably get a large discount as well. Why they give them to people who can afford to pay full price I never know but there you go."

He looked at her and smiled warmly. "Did you have any particular ideas about how you wanted your rooms to look. They will be yours so I have no problems if you wanted to paint them, change the wallpaper, the carpets or even the lighting."

 

[Mairu]

Luna smiled and nodded at Hunter's words, thankful he was letting it go for now. His next words though surprised Luna. What did he just say? That he didn't want to rush the sex side? Did she hear him right? Wait a minute, besides that, did he just kiss her hand?! Luna blushed a very deep red as he took her hand, placing a kiss on top of it. "U-um dinner is fine. I would like it to be a place where I can order pop if I may put that in please." Luna blushed before her face went completely composed when he spoke again.

Hunter then started talking about the schedule, turning the monitor so they could both see. Luna then nodded and payed close attention as he spoke of three fights, one as a human and one as a shifter and then a large tournament. Huh, interesting. Then he spoke about the sponsor shoots and told her she would need to call several days before to make sure nothing had changed. He then told her that all of this was on her computer and she just listened, nodding. Wow was he prepared. He really kept his life in order, that as for sure. He then spoke of other duties and said they will be discussed as they come up. Then he spoke of her sparring with him and she grinned. "Of course I was serious. It should be fun too. You also need the training, you need to fight against a real person, not just holograms. Even if they get close to the real thing there is a possibility of them not building you up enough and then you getting defeated since you only trained against holograms."

After Luna spoke Hunter then spoke, changing the subject from work to the decorating. He then spoke of getting her settled and not having her sleeping on the floor again and she smiled. He really was so unusual but in such a good way. It really seemed Luna was lucky to have gotten this person as her employer. He even said she could drop his name and that she would probably get a large discount. Well that would be nice, it might save her some money for some of her more......... dangerous things. Like her outfit, though Hunter wondered if her would know what she was by her outfit. She did go by the standard still. Even if she was away from that situation she still had that fighting still. Then he spoke of painting and stuff and she nodded. "Before putting anything else in I would like to have my main room painted a light blue, I can even paint it myself if you want but that needs to be today, so I can decorate around the color, have things that work with the color and stuff like that. Sorry I can be so particular on things. Hehe." Luna smiled gently, blushing slightly. Hopefully Hunter understood as he had so far. It was weird but also so nice. Luna just hoped it kept up. "Also I would like to go to some clothes stores today as well, maybe after getting the paint. I would like to get those two major things out of the way while I still have free time from the secretary duties." Luna smiled happily and then thought. "Actually, we could do that and then go to dinner if you want. Tonight I can sleep on one of the mattresses from the beds you said you had. Since you did say you had some I can pick from. We can just get the paint and clothes today, and go out to eat if you want and I can paint tomorrow and order a bed. How about that?" Luna hoped Hunter said yes, excited now.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Hunter looked at her and smiled. "Why don't you just look at the paint samples now online and pick the color you like the best. At the same time if you do have the desire to have the floors redone, why don't you choose the carpet you want. Remember you don't have to have the same carpet in both rooms," he smiled.

Hunter hit a few tabs and soon had a few screens up to places he usually used. "These guy's are good, but if you can't find what you are looking for we can try elsewhere. Just remember. we can order this stuff, they will come and paint it right away, then put the carpeting in, while we go shopping for clothes."

Smiling he looked at her. "You didn't think I was going to make you do this yourself did you? You will still have to spend a day in my bed though. The fumes will be too much for you tonight. Still if you find a bed you like you can have that delivered tomorrow and your room will be all ready for you."

 

[Mairu]

Luna listened as Hunter spoke, countering her offer but actually putting things in a good order, which was actually surprisingly good........ and she was supposed to be the secretary eh? What a joke. Usually the secretary was the one who put things in order, not the boss. Really he was amazing. After speaking about the floors and choosing the paint she saw him bring a few tabs up and she smiled. "Let's just use them and I already know the color I want, that's why I was ready to go. I have the perfect blue color in mind. About the floor. Hmm. I think I would like to change the one in my room but just to a softer plushy one. All about the soft plushiness. Yes I know plushiness isn't a word but I use it." Luna smiled at Hunter then. "Also if it's okay I would like to just get the carpet now, since you have the tab for the people up and I will use them." Luna hoped Hunter would, a bundle of nerves right now. One thing about Luna is she got so nervous sometimes when she was unsure what to do. She just crumbled really and hoped Hunter wouldn't see that. It was horrifying to Luna.

Then Hunter spoke about her doing this by herself and she shrugged. "Well I didn't even expect all that has happened already. No offense but usually the kind of people who buy us are slavering dogs and wolves who have no manners whatsoever and treat us like objects. So sort of yes I was thinking I would have to do this by myself, sorry. Also I think I will take some time for the bed, it's going to need to be soft and plushy but also able to hold me up. I don't want to suffocate from sinking down too far." Luna smiled a little, blushing at the same time as she thought of how it must look to want everything soft and plushy. "Also on the subject of clothes even in business I'm not wearing a skirt that I can barely move my legs in and it better look good. I hate pantsuits and I hate skirts that I can hardly move in, no pencil skirts. I hate them. Though if there are chinese dresses that are a little tight then I approve but skirts like that." Luna shivered. "I just hate them. I would rather have a flowing mini skirt please. I know I have to look business like but I would rather be comfortable as well."

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Hunter smiled as he absorbed all the new things he was learning about his new secretary. For one thing it appeared she was fiercely independent. Obviously she was used to doing things on her own and getting things done her own way, yet at the same time she had a very soft side about her, hence her craving for all things plushy.

His smile widened at the thought of the no nonsense woman before him, suddenly surrounded by a sea of soft, plushy, stuffed animals. It was all he could do to keep a straight face while trying to banish that mental image from his brain.

Of course then he had to deal with her particular phobia about her wardrobe. Actually this wasn't as unusual as she thought. One of the maids and both of his previous secretaries had also expressed their displeasure at similar garments. He wondered if it was a general Cat species complaint or a type?

"I have no problems there. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in, as long as it is suitable for the occasion. I am sure we will find you something that suits your tastes as well as mine. We will be visiting several designers today. Two specialize in human fashion while the other two specialize in shifter. You will need outfits for both of your forms of course."

Then blushing a little he coughed. "Ahh one of them will be showing you lingerie as well. I would like you to pick a few pieces you would feel comfortable in, as well as some good quality day to day items."

Turning back to the computer he indicated the paint and carpet site's. "Why don't you place the order for your rooms to be done and then phone them to confirm it. I am sure they will come right out if you mention my name. I will go and let Mitch know to expect them later today."

 

[Mairu]

Luna breathed a sigh of relief when Hunter said she could wear whatever she felt comfortable in, as long as it suited the occasion. Luna thought about that and hoped he was up for some looking since Luna knew of nice dress jeans and skirts that she would be comfortable in and did look appropriate but some people were hard on that type of subject. Actually on that subject Luna had met other cats who shared her dislike and for a reason. Cat's liked their flexibility and the type of garments she was showing a dislike about where stuffy and didn't allow flexibility. Also even though she would never admit this to Hunter she actually liked a bit dominance over what she wore, as long as she didn't feel uncomfortable or like she was suffocating in it. She liked knowing her Dom liked what she was wearing but Hunter was not her Dom. "Um if I may ask are dress jeans appropriate for some things? They can look very formal at times, you just have to know what to look for and also give me the flexibility and comfortableness I need."

After Hunter said about the clothes he then spoke about lingerie and Luna blushed more. That was another thing she liked dominance over and she pressed her legs together. She could not let him know about this. She just could not. He may even laugh at her about it. Then he said about day to day items and she guessed he meant regular undergarments that she would wear any day. All this talk though was making her aroused and if Hunter didn't stop she feared tackling him and kissing him.

Hunter then went back to looking at the computer and snapped her out of it saying for her to get it done now and then phone them to confirm and he said again about dropping the name. He then said about calling Mitch and she nodded. He then let her get on his computer with the tabs and with lightning quick speed she had most of the orders in. She did take time to do the bed though. Soon though she was on the phone, talking to the people about the orders. She also dropped Hunter's name and raised her eyebrows every time their tone changed. It was amazing and weird at the same time. Soon she was done and smiled at Hunter. "Well it's done, sorry if I was too quick or anything, I just knew what stuff I wanted. Hehe." Luna blushed a little then, still a bit aroused by Hunter. Luna didn't understand it though, she had just met the guy yesterday! She wasn't going to tell Hunter yet though and if it wasn't her heat season she didn't need to worry. Though Luna knew it was near the time she usually had it. Her Heat season was why she knew she liked having dominance in her sex life. The ONLY reason too.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Hunter was impressed with the way she handled herself on the phone. Once she had found what she wanted, she wasted no time phoning the establishments up and ordering the product.

The first time she used his name she was rather hesitant, and he could see the surprise on her face as the tone on the other end of the phone changed. However the next few times she used it with more confidence, and even got better discounts because of it.

He also got to see her negotiating skills in action when she discussed things with the bed maker. She was very adamant in what she wanted and made sure they knew it. She was not worried about paying a premium price for it as long as it was done to specifications, but she also told them she was not going to accept it if the workmanship was shoddy or did not meet her requirements.

Hunter smiled. He had certainly picked the right woman for the job. She would need that type of demeanor when dealing with promoters, agents, hotel managers and the like.

As she was finishing up he decided to call down to the kitchen and had Mrs Potts send one of the maids to inform Mitch about the people coming and that he would be taking the car out.

"Nicely handled Luna. Now if you would care to follow me I think it is time we got you a decent new wardrobe don't you," he chuckled.

He led Luna downstairs and then through a few rooms and down a short corridor and through a door into a very clean, large garage. Inside was an assortment of vehicles ranging from the exotic to the mundane.

Opening a plain box on the wall, Hunter studied the array of keys revealed and then glanced at the cars. "Hmm, something nice but we will be bringing a few things home with us. That of course rules out the sports cars," he smiled. "Ah perhaps a nice sedan."

Taking out a set of keys, he led her passed several sports cars, then a limousine and an old Rolls Royce, before finally coming to several sedans. Beyond them were several SUV, and 4WD. Pressing the button on the keyring, he activated the doors and gestured for her to enter the sleek black car.

Smiling he got behind the wheel and buckled himself in. "You know it is nice to be driven around everywhere, but nothing beats the feeling of actually driving yourself sometimes."

Starting the car, he pushed the small button that activated the garage doors, gently backed the car out, closed the doors, then started to casually make his way down the drive.

"Right, first stop, the garment district," he smiled as his foot pushed hard down on the accelerator and they shot off down the road.

 

[Mairu]

Luna smiled as Hunter spoke to her after she got off the phone and she nodded. "Yeah I would like to have some new clothes, wearing the same ones all the time is just boring. Then Hunter lead her downstairs and she froze when they got to the garage and just blinked rapidly for 30 seconds before just looking on, stunned. Seriously? And he said he wasn't a star. Please, Luna didn't even have one car and this guy had like 30. At the least! "Um Hunter you're kidding right? I don't even have one car and you say you aren't a star with at least 30?! Yeesh. I am sorry but you are wrong. Also as you have been dark on this subject before, no matter who you were before the change, you live in a life of luxury. Man I wish I had been that lucky when my mom died." Luna got a sad look then, remembering how some of the wolves had put in a complaint and had Luna forced from the house her mom left her, putting her into the streets. Luna quickly shook that off though, following Hunter once he found the set of keys he was looking for.

Finally they stopped in front of a sleek black car and her jaw dropped before she snapped it shut and shook her head and got in. Chuckling as she buckled herself in and listened to Hunter before speaking her mind. "Not that I would know, as a little kid I was driven places and then I was on the streets and walked everywhere and yesterday and now I'm being driven again. So never drove in my life, or even got a license. Nowadays though they have made it almost impossible for a Cat to get a license unless a Dog or Wolf goes with them to get one." Luna then smiled as she thought about his last words about the garment district and got excited. Since being in the agency she had only had the stupid maid outfit and her regular outfit, so the thought of getting new clothes excited her.

Finally they got to the shop and Luna blushed and smiled as she got out of the car, Hunter doing the same and they went in and Luna looked around, very excited at the prospect and Luna happened to see how the staff member was all over Hunter and payed no attention to Luna. Of course though, Luna was a cat after all, no one except the weapons dealers would know who Luna really was underneath the cat.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

As they walked in Hunter saw that Luna had automatically taken to walking two steps behind him and even shrunk further behind as the salesman advanced and fawned all over him. He had to bite back a growl of disapproval at that. Not at her, but at the obvious show of toadyism. He hated it. He knew it was the man's job to pull in custom, but why be so blatant about it. If this place had not been recommended to him he would have turned around and walked out the door already.

Motioning Luna forward he held up his hand cutting off the man in mid flow. "I am here to see Miss Jenome. She is expecting me."

The mans eyes went even wider if that was possible and he led them to a private elevator. A quick conversation on a private telephone and they were sent up.

At the top they were met by an elegantly dressed lady and led to a showroom. Various dresses were on mannequins but they were led to two chairs before a small runway and an elderly lady came out to meet them.

"Ah you must be Mr Hunter. Adrianna has told me so much about you." Looking at Luna she tapped her chin and looked her up and down. "MMM Gorgeous. Yes I have several outfits that would look fabulous on her at any evening gala and I am sure I can tempt you to part with some of that fortune of yours to make her look presentable," she chuckled good naturedly.

Hunter led Luna to her seat and then sat down himself as one after another girls began to walk out to show off the dresses. "Feel free to signal when you see something you really like," Hunter said leaning over.

 

[Mairu]

Luna was in the process of daydreaming when she saw Hunter motion her forward and stop the salesman that had been fawning over him and Luna's eyes widened as she did. Luna's eyes weren't the only wide ones though as Hunter said about seeing a Miss Jenome. They were then led to a private elevator and after a quick phone call they were sent up on it. When they got out they were met by a nice elegant looking lady who had them follow her to a showroom that had lots of dresses on mannequins and they were led to seats in front of a runway and Luna just raised an eyebrow. Wow, so this was how the rich people bought clothes huh? It just showed how rich Hunter was.

Then an elderly lady came out to meet them and Luna showed respect by nodding her head once though brief. Since it was a Cat custom the woman might not know what it even meant. Luna had always been taught to be polite to everyone, but especially her elders. They showed much wisdom usually. You couldn't judge a book by it's cover though. Although Luna thought it's probably why the people lived so long, because of their wisdom. Then the woman spoke and Luna blushed slightly before she was seated and soon she had picked out 4 dresses and was ushered to a dressing room to get her measurements and then was handed the first dress in her size and with each dress she showed Hunter before trying on the next one.

OOC: Here are the dress picture links.

[Aussie_Wolf]

Hunter had watched Luna all through the parade to make sure she was not holding back when she made her selections, however he was pleased with what she picked out. The different styles and colors would enable her to pick and choose to suit the occasion and he even saw an approving nod from Miss Jenome as well, so he knew she had done well.

When she returned from her fitting and paraded in front of him he was astounded. He knew that Luna was pretty, but in these gowns she was stunning. With just a little bit of makeup and her hair done she was going to turn a lot of heads.

After she had modeled the last of the dresses and both he and more importantly Miss Jenome had run their critical eyes over them, he smiled at her. "I will be taking all of them. Please have them custom tailored to fit and then sent up to my house. If you have any other designs that you think might look as elegant as those please feel free to contact me."

Smiling Hunter handed his card to the lady who had met them at the elevator and waited while she disappeared and then returned, making small talk with Miss Jerome and waiting for Luna to return.

Both women got back at about the same time and smiling Hunter kissed the older womans hand and then departed.

Getting back in the car he drove a small way up the street. "Well that is the formal stuff out the way," he told Luna smiling. "Now let's really go to town."

Stopping in front of a large building he parked the car and led her around to a side entrance. Knocking in a set pattern, the door was opened by a large man covered in tattoo's who as soon as he saw Hunter broke into a huge smile.

"Hunter where you been man. What you too rich to come visit your old friends now."

Picking him up like he weighed nothing, the man ran his fingers through what little hair Hunter had on his head and laughed. "Get in here. Mama's going to be glad she came into work today."

Hunter's eyes lit up as he tugged Luna in behind him. "Mama's actually here," he called back as he headed deeper into the darkened corridor.

All he heard was a chuckle as he continued down the half remembered path. Turning two corners he opened a door a was suddenly in a brightly lit warehouse surrounded by dozens of workers running around in organized chaos. Shelves were stacked to the ceiling with boxes and the floor was covered with open bins filled with clothes.

Smiling Hunter led Luna through the chaos to a raised platform where a wizened old Chinese lady sat drinking a cup of tea. No matter thee many people whizzing around, or the boxes being flung from one person to another, around her was a sea of calm.

Approaching her Hunter bowed deeply. "Mama, I had hoped to come purchase clothes for my new Secretary, but it is a pleasure to see you again." Looking around he chuckled. "I see nothing has changed since I left. I hope my 10% employee discount is still good."

The old lady looked at him then wrapped his knuckles with her cane. "Still with the jokes I see. I should make you pay double for all the trouble you caused when you left."

Shaking her head she gestured Luna forward. "Ahh a cat, but not domestic. Sleek, Graceful and fast. Hmm something more I am thinking as well," she said with a glint in her eye, "However that is yours to tell or not."

Rapping her cane on her small desk twice was like shooting a gun in a crowded room. All noise and movement stopped. "This girl is to get what she wants from our store. Bring up the computer file and show it to her. Meanwhile her employer and I will talk and reminisce."
