Date of Scene: 15 June 2021
Location: The Public House - Hellfire Club
Synopsis: No description
Cast of Characters: Viola Fiore, Sebastian Shaw




Viola Fiore has posed:
Viola Fiore arrives at the Public House at the scheduled time. She's wearing a well-cut skirt suit, tailored to her figure and just the right mix of elegance and flattering to that figure. She sets her bag to the side of her chair and smiles at the server as he comes over, having gotten to know the staff during her time doing event planning for the Hellfire Club.

"Morning Michael," she tells the man as he pours her a glass of water with lemon, and offers her a menu. "I'm meeting Mr. Shaw, not sure if we'll be eating or not," she tells him. Michael nods and says, "I'll come back to check on you," he says before heading back to the bar.

Sebastian Shaw has posed:
"The quarterly report will tell me if I should complete the takeover, or if we should look to make investments elsewhere." Shaw says into his cellphone as he walks into the Public House. He glides, almost unconsciously towards the table that Viola has settled at. He leans down and gives her a kiss on the cheek, hand resting on her shoulder for a moment as the call continues, "No, no, no movement there either. Let's keep everything where it is for the rest of today, the market looks like it is going to be too volatile for us to make any appreciable gains. Ok, I have a meeting, bye." And then he stabs his finger into the phone's screen to shut it off.

"My apologies Ms. Fiore, you deserve much more attention and a better greeting than that, but...today...has been a bit hectic with some of Shaw Industries' investments." Legitimate business? At the Hellfire Club? Wonders may never cease. He then moves over to the chair at the other side of the table, saying to Michael as he arrives at his shoulder, "The 2004 Domaine d'Auvenay, to start. Bring a glass for Ms. Fiore as well if she would like."

Viola Fiore has posed:
Viola's eyes light up a bit as Sebastian Shaw comes over. She would sit up a little straighter except her posture wasn't in need of correction. Still there is a new level of attentiveness. "Yes, please," she tells the server as Shaw suggests a glass for her as well.

"No apologies needed, Mr. Shaw. I appreciate you making the time, I can imagine the demands upon you for your time," she tells him. She waits for him to get seated and then turns slightly in her seat, one leg crossing over the other as she smiles to him.

Sebastian Shaw has posed:
For a brief moment his eyes glance down to the crossing thighs, but then they are back to Viola's face, as Shaw smiles, "It has been far too long since we have spent any time together Ms. Fiore. I do hope you are well?" he asks. He then tugs out his cellphone again, and takes a couple of moments to turn the device off, before it slips back into his coat.

The wine is brought a few moments later, and poured for them by Michael, and Shaw orders, "I think today I shall have the French Onion soup, full size, with a side of chips." And then he says, "Do not feel obligated to eat if you do not wish to, this is going to be my only chance to grab a bite until...later."

Viola Fiore has posed:
Viola is already familiar with the menu, having made sure she knows all of the club's specialties, not that they don't have chefs capable of coming up with anything the high level VIPs might wish. "I'll get something lightish," she replies, eyes going to the waiter then as she says, "A Cobb salad sounds good."

The waiter nods, recording their orders in his head. "Very good," he says, departing the table to go and put the orders in.

Viola turns her attention back to Sebastian Shaw quickly. "I hope that the cherry blossom festival event was received well by your membership and board?" she asks.

Sebastian Shaw has posed:
Sebastian Shaw leans back in his chair and takes a long sip of the wine, enjoying the taste of it. He then focuses his gaze on Viola, "They did, yes. I believe it brought in a few new members as well, which is always welcome. A club has to balance new blood with old of course." He adds, "It was well enough done that I think a proper job offer is in order. What are your terms?" he asks, studying the woman intently, perhaps keeping in mind some of the other interactions he's had with her since she came into his orbit.

Viola Fiore has posed:
Viola keeps her smile small, but otherwise doesn't try to hide the pleased expression. "I have my partnership with Gloria still," she says of the event planning job she has already. "Though I don't imagine the time requirements for the Club would require me full time. I can be available to consult a day a week when there isn't a major Club event planned, and then full availability when an event is in the works," she tells him.

The young woman considers just briefly, pulling out some paper from her bag and writing down a figure and sliding it over to Shaw, as regards to her compensation. "If that amount of time commitment meets your approval," she says.

Sebastian Shaw has posed:
The papers are given a glance, a fair looking over. He considers for a few moments the two columns laid out, and then he smiles, "We of course will not be codifying the second half, but yes, I can agree with those numbers." His food arrives, and he tears the paper in half. The half with the legitimate column he writes a quick note on, and sticks in his pocket. The other half, he hands to Michael, "Burn this please, Michael," he tells him, before he turns back to Viola, "A contract will be sent to you within the next day or so. Your other considerations will be dealt with in the usual manner, unless you have a different method you would prefer?"
