Love Soul Heaven Hell – Chapter XIII
Story written on January 4, 2014 by skydancer.
"She just got here, and she is in the table in the back, in the alcove towards the left. Do you remember it?"
Tina nodded. It was one of the most difficult tables in the club to book: private, set-apart from the crowd in the main dining area space. She was surprised her dining companion had been able to get it. "But why should I be surprised?," she muttered to herself.
She blew out a breath as she approached the table.
Her lips were set in a firm line as she took a seat.
Marissa offered her a small smile, as a waiter approached, then set a gin-and-tonic down by Tina. "Cobb salad, today, madame?" he inquired politely. "Yes, please," Tina said, smiling quickly back at him.
She took a long sip of the G&T, "great, as usual," she thought to herself.
"Members?," Marissa asked.
Tina nodded. They fell silent. Tina took another sip.
Finally, in cool tones, she observed, "So it looks like we keep running into each other."
Marissa pursed her lips, and nodded.
Tina blew a breath out, "How do you want to play this?"
Marissa thought for a moment, then took a long drink from her red wine goblet. She trained her sky blue eyes at Tina, "Up to you… how do you want things to go?"
"William wants…," Tina started.
Marissa waved her hand, "Not an issue. The luxe goods division will be handling tie-ups with any films that William, or the studio, will be producing. If you have to tell him something, I won’t mind if you tell him that much about this lunch."
She sat back, playing with the stem of her goblet, "I’m not involved with operational decisions there. They know that the only thing I want them to be careful about is not to dilute the appeal of the brands we own. They know our preeminent brand quality is the most important thing to me. And our market share in that very exclusive market. Very important for our future. Especially in Asia."
Tina scrunched her eyebrows, then asked, "So why were you at the after-party of our last film premiere, if you’re not involved with particular tie-ups or decisions?"
