Yes, and a meeting.

Leaving the shoe store with a smile, Aurelie strutted a bit, admiring her reflection in store windows as she passed. More boutiques were opening, and over the next hour she purchased a new top and a skirt, as well as a pair of patterned stockings that should look striking with her new shoes.

Finally satisfied and having made a dent in the credit card her boss had given her, she took a cab back to the hotel.

She had given herself ample time to change into business attire to meet with her boss. She took another shower, then did her makeup and hair before dressing in a plain white button top and and a skirt that came just above her knees. Satisfied with her appearance, she grabbed her purse and briefcase before heading down to the lobby.

Her boss was waiting for her, greeting her with a smile.

"You enjoyed your free time, I trust?"

"Very much, thank you sir."

"Excellent," he smiled gesturing to the lobby doors. A limousine was waiting at the curb, a liveried chauffeur standing by the back door. As they approached he opened the door and held it for them. Aurelie's boss assisted her into the back, then climbed in after her.

As the limo pulled away, he started to brief her on the meetings to come. She was to take notes, have documents ready for him to present as needed, and otherwise be a support person to him. All roles that she had filled many times before, and which gave her no concern.

"I thought we might have dinner together this evening," he told her with a smile. "I've made reservations at an Alsation style restaurant that was recommended to me. Is seven this evening satisfactory to you?"

"Yes sir," Aurelie said, trying to keep the surprise out of her voice. "That's very kind of you."

"Think nothing of it," he smiled, before turning his attention to a file that he took out of his briefcase.

Short minutes later the limo pulled up outside an office tower, the chauffeur coming around to open the door. Her boss stepped out, then assisted her out of the car before leading her into the building.
