Scottsdale

Heading into the Scottsdale office, the atmosphere was cold. This is their main office in town, where they handle all financial and zoning matters. However just outside of town they have power stations and plants. In fact most educated people in this town works for Scottsdale whether that be an engineer or something else. And since they provide power for over three counties the takeover seems to be a big deal. Entering the office I make my way past the main desk and over to financial services. Typically I just speak to a secretary they find our account and take my money, as simple as can be.

Heading over I see people in shambles and every single secretary finding papers for the higher level employees. But I manage to find a lesser occupied secretary and figure they are the one to flag down. Handing her the money, she quickly goes to a desk, opens the account and settles it in less then 5 minutes. However they still seemed stress and it looks like my disturbance was not welcome especially since these things mostly get done online and I remain polite and and thank them before heading on my way.

As I was heading back down the lobby I almost manage to get hit in the face by a door, and out comes stumbling 5 suits talking. One of the suits was immediately recognizable, it was Kat, followed by two whom I've never seen or met before and the other two being ones I've noticed around here from time to time.

"Hey, watch where you're going kid!" one of the suits says to me.

"Be nice!" Kat says letting down her professional manner before immediately recognizing me, "Oh, hey CJ."

"Hey Kat," I reply back feeling kind of embarrassed about the whole ordeal, "Business going well?" I ask in an almost polite but **** manner.

"Actually I'm just about finished for today," brushing off two of the suits trying to get her attention, "Well I have to finish one thing up then I'm done for good. And I decided to just call a ride, I've had enough of the bus for today."

"Wasn't a fan," I ask rhetorically and she nods her head, "Anyways it was nice meeting you again, Kat. But I got to get going sorry I don't have time to chat." I say trying not to reveal that I don't want to make small talk with this complete stranger I met literally today. And just as I start walking away I hear her voice again.

"Wait," she says continuing the awkward conversation, "wait here like 5 maybe 10 more minutes and my ride will be here, plus I'll be done with this for today so I can at least treat you to lunch for your help with the bus."

"I didn't really help that much, I just told you directions" I respond

"Nonsense! You also kept me company and were the first real person I've got to talk to, so please let me get you one lunch." She says wearing the best puppy dog eyes she can.

"Why not," I say being polite.

"You won't regret it," Kat says before she is interrupted again by one of the suits.

"Miss Paige, could we finish up our meeting with Mr. Scottsdale and Mr. Brent."

"Yes, of course" She responds returning to her professional manner and conducting her business while walking with the gentlemen. I never really looked at her, at least when we were on the bus. She had red hair up in a bun, and glasses that complimented her emerald eyes. Her face displayed a woman in her early forties with minor wrinkles. She was on the skinnier side but she filled out her pantsuit with some moderate curves, most likely b-cup breasts and a pert butt. One that I could stare at as she walked away._ I don't know what I'm thinking, I meet a nice older lady yet all I can do is stare at her ass, plus she'd never want some 18 year old guy. _So I decide to resign myself to stand near the front desk staring at my phone waiting for Kat.
