"Here, I thought I was being discreet."
"Not in this company. Probably even Maylor in Kansas City
knows by now."
"What are you saying?"
"That everybody knows what's happening."
"Yeah, well, it hasn't even started yet."
"That doesn't matter to these people. Here's a hot little
chick, and she's caught the boss."
"Fine with me, man. Shall we go to the cocktail lounge;
that's where I have them meeting."
"You would."
The first thing Jay did upon entering the lounge was seek
out Julie. As soon as he did she had a big smile on her face.
He took her in his arms and kissed her. "Congratulations, you
have been accepted to the club." He was going to say more, even
make it sound like a gesture more than anything else. Yet, now
it was done; he had declared himself and she hadn't rejected him.
They went around the room greeting other people, but remaining
hand in hand. They were seen throughout the evening holding each
other and occasionally sharing a passionate kiss.
