Disclaimer: I do not own anyone, all events are fictional.
Our story begins in Manhattan, NY with the 5'5 curvy 24 year old Pilar Guzman, she adorns long dark brown hair and medium brown eyes, her skin color is that of olive, like her father. She is the daughter of Michael Guzman (based off the character of Terry Benedict from Ocean's Eleven). His affiliation with the underworld was quite broad, including owning several casinos in Atlantic City. She was born in Cuba, but has lived in the US her entire life. Her father made sure to give her the best education and sent her to the finest boarding schools, but that didn't stop Pilar from wanting to follow in her father's footsteps of success, she studied him during her school breaks and vacations. Pilar admired how her father came from a very small village and worked hard to build an empire. Pilar was smart and determined herself, she graduated with a business degree and proved to have the business sense of her father. She has made a name for herself as a Club/Event Promoter, which in itself makes for similar work as her father. She has a brother named Seth, they are very close, and unfortunately at times Pilar finds herself in the middle of her brother and father. Michael does not agree with the alternative lifestyle his son leads, til now Pilar has been able to keep the peace between the two. Pilar is preparing herself for a meeting with Hunter Helmsley who is a very successful business mongrel who owns several businesses throughout the state, one of them being the top night club in New York City. Pilar has wanted to get his business for months, and was not going to take no for an answer. Hunter had the reputation of being a very shrewd business man, he hadn't made millions by being a nice guy, and his business dealings are not all above board, hell his type of business was not for the faint of heart. That did not put Pilar off, if anything it made her more determined. She looked at herself in the mirror one more time, satisfied by what she saw, she headed out the door of her apartment and was off to her meeting. She wore a Herve Leger red Long-Sleeve Bandage Dress, which showed off her hourglass figure,and her shoes were Jimmy Choo 4' red and black Adel patent leather pumps.
Hunter's office….
Hunter was preparing himself for his meeting. He was surprised that Pilar had slipped under his radar, but he was very aware of who her daddy was. He looked up from his desk as his younger brother Roman walked in, he shook his head noticing that Roman appeared to have not slept and was wearing the same clothes from the day before. "Maybe you should just go home, you look like shit." Hunter frowned.
Roman was unfazed by his brother's rudeness. "I'm here, and I can do without the sarcasm."
"It wasn't sarcasm. I don't need you here if you are hung-over. I have a meeting in a few minutes and I don't have time to babysit you."
"I didn't ask you to, and I'm not hung-over, just a little tired. Just get off my case and save that for your son." Roman scoffed.
Hunter was becoming irritated. "I'm not on your case, you have been slacking off and you need to get it together. If you weren't my brother your ass would have been gone, and leave Dylan out of this." Hunter has been giving Roman pass after pass, but sadly Roman has become a little too wrapped up in the night life and not focusing on work. Hunter has let it go because of Roman's youth, but fun and games need to stop.
Their argument was interrupted by a knock on the door. "COME IN.." Hunter was more abrupt than he intended.
Pilar slowly opened the door and walked in, she could feel the tension. "I can wait if you need some time?"
Hunter came from behind his desk and extended his hand for her to come in. "No please come in, my brother was just leaving." Hunter watched her as she sat down, he admired the view, and that did not go unnoticed by Pilar.
Roman cleared his throat. "I think I will stay for this meeting, I wouldn't want to be rude to the lady in red."
Pilar tossed her hair over her shoulder. "I have a name thank you."
Hunter smirked at her feistiness. "Please forgive him. I'm Hunter Helmsley and this rude person is my brother Roman. You must be Pilar? Your early, I like that. Roman can you excuse us?" Roman knew he was not going to win this battle. He took Pilar's hand and kissed it. "I hope you come back Pilar." Roman winked at her and walked out of the office.
Pilar was unfazed, she has dealt with a lot worst in her line of work. "Well I don't want to waste your time, I have my portfolio and some reviews from other club owners for you to take a look at. I'm sure you will be pleased, I can get the best of the best for your upcoming event."
Hunter took the paperwork and put it on his desk and he leaned against his desk making direct eye contact with her. "Why don't you just tell me what you can do? I have spoken to quite a few people and they speak nothing but high praises, but I want to know if you can handle a large club such as this."
Pilar smirked and crossed her leg over the other giving him a very nice view of her legs. "Well for starters I can get both Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz here at the same time. If that doesn't do it for you I can have Drake here or even Jay Z or both. I don't screw around with my work, I only deliver the best."
Hunter was impressed. "That sounds good, but what is your cost? And don't try to screw me with an over inflated price, this isn't my first rodeo.
Pilar continued to smirk. "Twenty dollars a head and they will be under my name so my commission will be 30%. Also 5% on the bar tabs."
Hunter bust out laughing. "You're sexy as hell, but I'm not some young punk that is going to whack myself off because you are flashing me some leg. I'm immune to that kind of stuff. Now all jokes aside, I will give you 15% on commission and I'll throw in the five dollars a head since I'm feeling like a nice guy today."
Pilar stood up and got in his face. "Really…If you were so immune you wouldn't still be checking out my legs and tits, and this isn't my first dance, if you think you can get someone else to pull this off, go right ahead, but you won't and your event will tank." She started to head for the door, she was mad at herself for losing her temper.
Hunter stopped her and put his hand over hers as she gripped the door handle, he was inches away from her back and his breathe was on her neck. "Now don't leave all hot, you know how this plays out."
Pilar could feel herself getting flushed, and her hand was getting sweaty on the door handle. "I know you need to back up."
Hunter moved in a little closer. "Why? I kind of like where this is going."
Pilar tried to bump him back off of her, but he didn't budge, and she could feel his chest against her back. "Don't flatter yourself." She shivered slightly as Hunter brought his arm across her waist. "I was giving you a compliment. How about 20% and I give you headcount, the bar is out, that is the best I can do…Well I can throw in dinner." Pilar swallowed hard and was trying to catch her breathe. "Fine. Can you please let go now?" She didn't know how much more she could take, he was annoying to her, but his body was making her not think straight.
Hunter let go and backed away from her. "Good. You prepare the contract and I'll sign it when I pick you up for dinner."
Pilar opened the door. "I'll have the contract ready by tomorrow, but dinner is out of the question. What would your wife say about that?"
"You scared of what you may do being alone with me? I can control myself, and you don't need to worry about my ex-wife." He laughed.
Pilar turned around to face Hunter. "You are going to lie straight to my face that you are not married. Whatever, I'll call you tomorrow when it is done."
Hunter invaded her personal space again. "You should check your sources better. Christie and I have filed for divorce, but to be honest we haven't been married in years, this is a formality." He moved inches away from her and leaned in to whisper in her ear. "I will send a car for you tomorrow night at 8:00pm, wear something just as sexy."
"You are so full of yourself, you couldn't handle me on your best day." She quickly walked out and slammed the door.
Hunter went back to his desk, and smiled, he wasn't worry, he knew one way or another she would come around. It has been a long time since someone has fuelled him like that and he wasn't going to let it slip away.
