Meet the construction crew

That day renovations on the mansion were about to begin. Lauren's aunt had put it in the will to ensure that some of her fortune went to preserving her ornate home. Lauren arrived home in the early afternoon, carrying several bags. The driver carried a stack of bags and boxes that reached over his head.

Lauren entered, pulling off her new designer sunglasses. She was wearing a french made black dress, form fitting, with a slit showing some calf and designer high heels. Her makeup and hair were immaculate, having gone to the salon as she now did three days a week. She looked rather amazing, by anyone's standards.

When she entered, a crew of 10 construction workers stared. They were redoing the tile in the lobby, but all work stopped when Lauren walked in. She smirked, enjoying their attention, swaying her hips as she passed. Then, she saw Mark. He was working, and pretended not to notice Lauren.

"Mark!" Lauren said, pleasantly surprised. "What are you doing here?" She hadn't seen Mark since college had gotten out for the summer.

"Huh?" He looked up at Lauren with a disinterested glance. "Oh. Hi Lauren." He went back to his work.

"You're on the construction crew? This is my house!" Lauren said, leaning in excitedly. She kept waiting for him to notice her fabulous outfit and react, but he seemed utterly uninterested!

"Small world I guess." He mumbled, still measuring a block of tile.

Lauren, huffing, turned and walked away.

"What is he doing?" Michelle said. Her and Vanessa were watching from the cracked open doorway of a nearby room, whispering as they watched.

"Oh, it's totally a player technique." Vanessa explained. "If you act disinterested to a girl who's used to everyone wanting her, she'll totally want you."

"That works?" Michelle asked in surprise.

"Gawd, I swear, you are so old." Vanessa said playfully as she watched.

Lauren stomped away on her heels, then looked over her shoulder. She had a look of expectation, and had her back angled out. It was obvious she was expecting Mark to be checking out her ass. When he didn't she bit her lip in frustation, and stomped away.

"See? It totally works!" Vanessa pointed out.
