Michael the salesman
Michael and Jan have been on the plane for a couple hours now. Jan is sitting next to the window. She fell asleep for just a little while when she woke up to the sound of Michaels voice. He was chatting it up with the guy next to him. Poor guy. However, the guy he's taking to doesn't seem disinterested in Michael.
"What are you going to Jamaica for…business or pleasure?"
"That's what she said." Michael loves using his 'classic' lines on people he's just met. The man next to him smirks a little, "it actually depends on who you ask, right Jan?" He rubs her thigh. Jan is not sure what to say-she just stares at his hand on her and feels excited a little, "this is my boss actually, so…"
"Ah…okay." Again…how does that explain anything?
"It's not what you think. Totally mutual." Awkward silence fills the air which Michael surprisingly notices and changes the subject. "So what kind of work are you in?"
"I am a rep for Georgia Pacific. How exciting, right?"
"Oh my goodness! Are you kidding me? That's awesome…we-"
"No one has ever been this excited for what I do before."
"Alright, let me ask you this. Who is your main supplier? Office Depot right? Now let me ask you this. Did they lure you in with their low prices and quick delivery? Oh and let me guess, after you were with them for what-6 solid months, they jacked up the prices, delivery takes longer and they now actually charge you an arm and a leg for two-day shipping but you're stuck with them because you signed a two year contract with them?"
This man, let's just call him Dave, and Jan are left absolutely speechless. Both in completely different ways.
"Holy shit-it's scary how dead on you are. How did you know all that?"
"I just so happen to work at this paper company called Dunder Mifflin. We may be mid-range but we are top-dog when it comes to everything with price, delivery and customer service. We lock you in at a price that won't ever change for you. We value our clients and loyalty is everything to us."
"Wow. That sounds fantastic. How have I never heard of you guys before? Do you have a card? I would love to get together with you when we get back."
"Yeah…absolutely." As he reaches in his back pocket, he looks at Jan, smiles and winks.
Jan couldn't believe what she was hearing. She's so amazed and stunned, she can't even show any expression. Is he actually making a sale right now? He's making it so hard to resist him. He's also making it so easy to want him.
