Now it was Friday and Jon hoped today would follow the week’s trend. The intercom buzzed. Well, he would have his answer shortly. “Is she here?” “Yes, sir, Ms. Manning has arrived,” Matt said. “Send her in.” Ms. Manning entered the room, and Jon motioned for her to take the seat opposite his desk. “It’s a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Vinchi.” “Thank you for coming, Ms. Manning. If you don’t mind, I’d like to get right to business.” “Not at all,” Ms. Manning responded. She wasn’t what he’d expected. She was most likely in her early thirties, tall and slender with long dark hair. She dressed in business attire, but her style was not conservative, like he’d thought it would be. It was obvious she knew how beautiful she was. She carried herself with a confidence that many men would find intimidating. He, on the other hand, wasn’t interested in her on either a physical or personal level. There was only one reason he needed her here, and that was to settle the issue regarding his sponsorship.
