"You seem to be having a great time, Ed," a familiar voice reached his ears after Adrian had ordered a whiskey at the bar.

Clad in a black long-sleeve silk top with an over-the-knee skirt and pointed high heels, she sat cross-legged on a high stool, a faint, elusive smile gracing her always-charming face. As the head of ABC's planning department, her presence at the party was only natural.
"If you'd like, we could find a room and have a proper chat," he suggested as he leaned in towards Charlize with a suggestive wink.
"I know you're quite something, Ed, and I know you're strong, but…" Charlize casually took an olive out of her Martini and slowly chewed on it. The way her cheeks puffed and turned as she chewed was incredibly alluring. After a moment, she continued, "Let me think who else is here, maybe we can go to the room and talk together?"
