“Tell me again why it’s necessary for the CEO of a pretty big company to be working the front desk again?” Lisa asked while organising merchandise on the shelves.

“I’ve told you,” Chris laughed, “I want to make sure everything is in order. And I only trust you and Milo enough for the job at the moment.”

“Yeah, I get that. But why the front desk? Why not do some office work or promotional stuff and let me work reception?”

Chris shrugged, “Dunno… Just want to make a good first impression to the community or whatever.”

The front counter had a trickle of people coming in a checking out the facilities for a few hours but around midday things became a little slow.

“Alright, I’m just going to the toilet. I’ll be right back.” Chris said to Lisa.

Chris left the cubicle and began to wash his hands, he looked up at himself in the mirror. He was a good looking man, with strong facial features, a short stubble and a thick head of hair. He was quite tall, standing just below six foot three, and proportionately muscular, which was hardly surprising considering his lifetime spent in a gym.

Chris had never stayed in a romantic relationship for long, the longest being with a girl from high school named Katie whom he dated for eight months. Being charming, handsome and wealthy proved to make him incredibly popular with the opposite sex, having a steady stream of girlfriends. But, for reasons he was still unsure of himself, he had never really considered settling down with anyone and instead enjoyed the bachelor lifestyle.

Brushing himself off and returning to the lobby area, Chris noticed a new potential customer talking to Lisa. An incredibly petite asian girl stood holding a yoga mat and a water bottle; she wore a small pink backpack, a loose fitting tank top, three-quarter yoga pants and she had her hair up in a messy bun. Chris walked behind the counter and admired her; she was incredibly pretty with large bright eyes and a cute button nose.
