Please note, this session includes themes such as:

• Taboo relationships

• Public encounters

Kindly ensure these discussion topics align with your personal preferences before proceeding.

“Good morning, Mr. Thompson. Thank you for meeting with me.” I entered Seventy Third Bank, where the accountant waited for me near the door.

“No problem, I appreciate you wanting to work with us,” I said as I stepped past her and looked around at the interior of the bank that had just opened. Last week, this same accountant came into Luxe Motors hoping to be one of the banks our clients used to finance their purchases. She promised that they had better rates and could work miracles with some of our clients, so I was here to hear them out.

Because they were new, she walked through the bank and gave me a tour, allowing me to meet the branch manager and bank tellers. I spoke to each of them; we shook hands and had a little small talk about what their bank could offer my customers before she continued walking. Then we got to a door that read Mercedes Carpenter.

“This is our last stop, this is actually our loan officer who makes most of our magic happen,” she said as she tapped on the door lightly.

“Come in.” The voice from the other side of the door was just barely audible.

The accountant, Jessica, pushed the door open. The woman sat at the desk, laser-focused on the computer screen. When she finally turned to us, I narrowed my eyes as recognition hit me quickly.

“Mrs. Carpenter, this is Mr. Thompson from Luxe Motors that I was telling you about. He is interested in partnering with us. He had some contracts that he would like you to look over and see how you can offer his customers better rates,” she explained while Mercedes never took her eyes off me.

“Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure,” she cleared her throat and fixed her clothes to stand before coming around the desk to shake my hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Thompson,” she said with a sly smile.

“Same, thank you.”

“You’re in good hands, Mr. Thompson. Mercedes is literally the best at what she does,” Jessica assured me.

“Thank you,” I said to her before she turned and walked out the door.

Once the door closed, I turned back toward Mercedes, “Nice to meet you? That’s the best you could do?” I chuckled as I leaned over and hugged her.
