Benjamin Faust had worked at Leyline Consulting for five years now. He had started as a salaried assistant and worked his way up to the level of partner at his firm by always focusing on work first, and his personal life second. That of course meant that the 30 year old did not have time for a girlfriend or a family, he just lived alone with his small pug, Winston. Normally, most people would be thrilled to become a partner at the age of 30, but Ben knew he deserved so much more. What was holding him back was his boss Marcus Brown. Marcus was 50 year old man who had helped found the company, and was one of the 'Executive' Partners at the firm. Sure in his youth Marcus probably worked just as hard as Ben to found this company, but for the past 10 years the man had done nothing but drink and flirt with just about any woman he came in contact with. He spent his days in the office fucking his secretary, drinking, and probably sleeping in between his drinking and fucking. What was worse is that everyone knew Marcus was supposedly married to an incredibly beautiful woman who he never talked to. The man didn't care that everyone knew he was cheating, everyone in the company still had to respect him.
To make matters worse, Marcus knew that Ben was a hard worker. Ben's first run in with Marcus was two years ago right as Ben was about to become a partner at the firm. He had worked 8 months on a merger between his firm and a rivals firm, and was just about to sign the papers to complete the merger when Marcus swooped in and took the deal right from under Ben's nose. He did almost no work but he was there to sign the papers and get his photo taken. All of the other executive parnters thanked Marcus for his incredible deal, and made sure to give Marcus a big raise for what he did. Ben on the other hand, he got nothing. He had to start all over again and fine his next project that would get him noticed at work. From that moment on Ben worked hard to never let that event repeat itself.
Yet all of his planning meant nothing as he headed into work today. He had been working for months on a consulting deal with Nike. He had kept it a secret and made sure that Marcus had no way of knowing about the deal until it was signed. The only person who knew was Kevin Jameson, one of the other Executive Partners at the firm. So when Ben walked into the conference room that day expecting to sit down with Kevin and the heads of Nike to sign the deal, he was stopped right at the door by a big fat hand landing on his right shoulder. Ben turned around to see a grinning Marcus and Kevin staring at him. Before Ben had time to ask them what they were doing there, Kevin explained that there was no need for Ben to do anything else, the deal was done, and he and Marcus would go ahead and sign the papers. In a sign of 'generoisty' they even agreed to let Ben head home early today, just so long as he came into work fresh on Monday to start working hard on his next deal.
Ben could not believe his ears. The two of them had done it again, they stole his deal right from under his feet. But what could he do, if he protested he would be fired on the spot. So, fighting back a scowl, Ben nodded and told them he would take them up on the offer, and just head home. Ben knew that he could not just head home to his apartment and brood this entire weekend. He needed to get out, to have fun and forget about his crappy work life. So when he went home tat day he decided the best thing he could do was head to the club and find someone to spend the night with. Ben knew that he looked best in suit, so all he needed to do to get ready for the club was to undo his tie and unbutton the top few buttons of his silk white work shirt before heading over to the club. He had taken an Uber there, figuring that tonight was not about restraint, he was going to drink, dance, and hopefully end up in bed with a beautiful woman by the end of the night.
He had arrived at 'The Ministry of Sound' the city's most popular club at around 8:00 pm, just as the club was starting to get busy. He easily made his way into the club to find it only half full with people. There were the college kids who had finished classes as well as other working adults like him who just needed a break. Ben smiled to himself as he heard a familiar song start to play just as he entered. As he made his way onto the dance floor he spotted an absolutely stunning woman standing a lone by the bar, either waiting for a drink or just taking a small break from dancing. She had the pointed ears of either a fox or a cat, he was unsure from this distance. Anthros and mixed species were not uncommon in these days, although Ben himself had never had the pleasure of being with one. Well that was hopefully going to change today. He made his way right over to the woman, noting her mixed eye colors as he flashed her a smile as he approached. He walked right up the woman as he said, "Hi there. My name is Ben, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind me buying you a drink or possibly joining you for a dance." He had a playful grin on his face as he said that, not even thinking about the possibility that she was waiting here for her partner or her friends.
