After work drinks

Giovanni

Chapter 6 - Giovanni (picture above is of Giovanni)

This chapter is rated T but will have some suggestive language

After dropping off the loaner car Lydia and Kyle make their way to the office before then head to the bar to meet up with their team. Francois their boss calls them into his office.

F: Hey guys how did it go with Rosenthwart?

K: (smirking) Really well, what do you think Lydia?

L: Oh yes absolutely! We got them to sign the two year contract

F: Great! I hope you kids are going out to celebrate right?

K: Oh yeah the team is waiting for us at Conneldy's

F: (claps teasingly) At a boy! Now so for some news

Lydia looks at Kyle confused. What more could Francois have to say today?  Although Lydia is new she knows enough about him to know he constantly surprises them. 

F: So Lydia you have a new (knock)

Kyle and Lydia turn around to see a gorgeous young man behind them. This guy looks like something out of GQ magazine. His style is impeccable, his suit a crisp grey, his hair gelled back with facial features that look as though he was chiseled by Adonis himself.

F: Perfect timing, Lydia this is Giovanni Manzo. He will be your one direct report. Okay go get to know each other or do whatever you kids do today, my job is done so get out of my office everyone

L: (waves in her seat) Hey I am Lydia

G: (chuckles) Kinda figured (looking at Kyle) he wasn't

L: (laughs) We are going to get along just fine

G: Call me Gio

K: (extends his hand) I am Kyle

G: (shakes hand) Giovanni Manzo

K: (sarcastic) I heard

G: So where are we going?

L: We just closed on a client contract for two years so the team is going out for a drink, you should come

G: Oh I intend to

Kyle rolls his eyes, he lowly grunts under his breath annoyed at Lydia laughing at all his jokes. Lydia just thinks this fresh out of college kid has a personality, something you need as a management consultant. But what she is most happy about is that she will now have help at work. As they are leaving Francois stops by Lydia's office closing the door behind him.

F: Lydia I need you to take extra good care of Gio

L: (smiles) I fully intend to, don't worry

F: No I mean real good care he is the Executive President's son and we need to make sure he is happy at all times or it's all our asses on the line. Capiche?

L: Si Capiche

F: Okay also keep Kyle's ego at bay. He's like a son to me but he doesn't do well with new good looking guys especially the ones who feel entitled

L: Check! Got it

While the team is out for drinks, Kyle, Lydia and Gio join them at the bar. Bea can't stop ogling at Gio, he is the new dapper guy in the group. Lydia introduces him to the group, Gio is gorgeous but more than anything he is charming and both Kyle and Ravi can feel all the ladies at the bar looking, gawking, even swooning over him.

K: Let's get some shots

R: Oh yeah!

K: (signals) Lydia over here
