Let Lisa do it and workout instead.

“I’m so sorry, you’ve just missed the yoga class. We have a class every day at nine.” Lisa explained to the young woman.

“Damn…” She said softly.

Chris made his way behind the counter, “Oh, this is actually the owner of Johnson’s Gym, Chris.” Lisa introduced him.

“G’day” Chris smiled politely to the woman.

“Hi” She smiled back.

“I’m just gonna go lift, you right here?” Chris said quietly to Lisa.

“Yeah, all good”

The young girl checked her watch, and paused for a moment and considered what to do.

“Our members are welcome to use the yoga room whenever they like. Have you considered signing up?” Lisa said with a wry smile, trying on her best salesman voice.

“I’m not sure I’ll be able to afford it, I was just going to pay for the individual session. This place is really nice!” She said looking around, amazed. “Do you do student discounts?”

“We most certainly do!” Lisa said, before listing off the payments plans.

“That is actually pretty cheap… Maybe I can afford it.” She said. “Can I cancel anytime?”

“Yep! There are no lock-in contracts.” Lisa smiled. The young woman paused, still thinking. “Would you like a tour?”

“Yeah, that would be awesome.”

“My name’s Lisa, by the way” She pointed to her little name tag.

“I’m Brittany” They shook hands warmly.

Chris was in the middle of some dumbbell curls when he noticed Lisa, accompanied by the unnamed girl. He had headphone in but smiled to the pair as Lisa continued her tour. He pretended not to take much notice them and focused on his workout, but he could see from the corner of his eye, the woman checking him out.

“So… what do you think?” Lisa asked.

“It’s amazing!” Brittany said, impressed. “Sign me up.”

“Awesome. If you’re going to be on the student plan, I will need to see some ID” Lisa said, organising the paperwork.

“Oh okay” Brittany pulled two cards from her wallet. “There’s my college ID and my license.”

“Excellent.”

Lisa looked over the ID and read her details, Brittany Nguyen was nineteen years old and was studying at USC Marshall.

“Business school isn't it?” Lisa made idle chit chat as she completed the paperwork.

“Yeah” Brittany smiled.

“Oh well, you should ask Chris for some advice. He’s quite the businessman.”

“Really? I might just do that.” She looked over at Chris who was still working out. “He’s cute. Is he your boyfriend?”

“Who Chris?” Lisa glanced up from her work, “No, we’re friends. He’s like my brother.” Lisa pulled out a card key and complimentary water bottle and towel. “Alright! You are all set, welcome aboard Brittany.”
