Christopher nodded slowly, not even bothering to speak as he knew this male had huge influence....Just about everywhere. He ended up ordering some kind of pasta with seafood- something he wasn't familiar with but it sounded good enough- and he'd just stick with what ever Felipe was drinking. He let silence fall between them as he turned his gaze back to the Contract- totally focused on it as he scratched things out, wrote down notes.
Eventually a genuinely satisfied smile slipped onto his lips as he placed the papers down on the table. "Good, done." He stated, letting his gaze move to the male as he read his book. He looked away just in time for the waitress to bring them their food. He wasn't used to eating in such a fancy place- being waited upon carefully... the wine was good, the food was delicious but he felt extremely.... out of place.
"The um...food here is delicious" He muttered- not really sure what to say but the silence was becoming suffocating. Perhaps he should have just taken the contract home and emailed it to Felipe for the following day....

 Felipe Luciano Salazar Hearing the male state he was done made Felipe close his book and put it away. He reached over and began to look through it while the waitress was putting down their food and filling their wine glasses. She set it down in the ice bucket and left them be. Felipe didn't touch his food until he was done looking over the papers. Once satisfied he slipped them in the envelop and into his suit case and dove right into his food and as usual it was delicious as well as the wine.
He glanced at the male when he complimented the food here as he smiled and gave a nod, "Yes, I've had everything on the menu and was not disappointed with anything. And again thank you for doing the contract now and here, I needed it for tonight since I'm meeting the client at the (insert fancy name) fashion show. She's a good friend of mine and she doesn't mind if it's a rough draft of a good contract so it's better than waiting till the next day since she'll be going out of the country and I'd rather discuss it with her in person. You're free to come if you'd like." He also mentioned her name and it happened to be one of the most famous international female models. Everyone knew who she was.

Christopher froze for a moment, not exactly liking the idea of going to a fashion show- especially so late in the evening. "I think- I've had enough of models for one day" he stated simply as his gaze slipped away. "But I will thank you for dinner." He added, letting his gaze return to meet Felipe's.
He sipped at his wine as silence fell again, taking his time with his food. He didn't drink often so he could already feel the wine going to his head and he was just thankful that he had food in front of him to balance it all out. After a few minutes he felt his phone buzz in his pocket- a text message. "Ah, pardon me. I'm just going to check this" he muttered, slipping his phone from his pocket- seeing a text from Tayte inviting him out for drinks... something he was more than willing to go do right now.
his reply to the male was something along the lines that he would meet up with him after he finished dinner- and he put his phone away again. "Sorry. about that. Meeting a friend for drinks after this" He murmured, returning to the matter at hand. Why Felipe hadn't said anything about his little...fit earlier was beyond him. "Might I ask why you had me come? Not to sound rude and ungrateful. The food was delicious and I enjoy working. But from what I hear you're more than capable of working out a sound contract. And I don't think we started on good terms."

Felipe Luciano Salazar "I know the feeling. Difference is I HAVE to be around them constantly. They are the success of the company after all. Hardest part is keeping most of those bastards happy so they don't go off to another company when their contract expires. Luckily my not so nice persona keeps them from trying to walk all over me or boss me around. Pretty tiring nonetheless if you ask me." He shrugged and continued to eat, taking a sip of his wine as he gave a nod when he had pulled his phone out and was texting back who ever texted him.
When he spoke again about going out with friends to get drinks he nodded, "Can't remember the last time I ever got one of those texts." He laughed despite how sad that sounded. But alas he was a very busy man and he was lucky to just get alone time like this every day. Half the time when he did get an invitation somwhere he was either too tired or sick of people for the day.
Not wanting to throw himself a pity party he smiled and gladly answered his question, "Well was too tired to do any more contracts and you're the only would who does it once and gets it done right that one time. Kinda just wanted to enjoy what time I have to relax before I have to head off to that fashion show. Just let the driver take you back to the office if you need to get your car or if you didn't drive then you can have him drop you off wherever you're meeting your friends. I have other modes of transportation at my call." He smiled and continued to eat.

Deep green eyes inspected the male closely- it was hard to tell if he was like this normally, or cold as he was at the office. After all living a double life left plenty of room for doubt. "Just one person. If you didn't notice, I'm not much of a people person" He stated simply, finishing his food in silence. He paused for a moment before reaching into his coat pocket to take out a piece of scrap paper- he usually had something with him so he could write down random notes through out the day.
Quickly he scribbled down his phone number, and held it out to Felipe "You can call me If there are any concerns about the contract. I don't like to leave things incomplete"
"The place we are meeting isn't far and it's nice out so I think I'll be alright with walking- I could do with some fresh air. But thank you" He murmured, waiting for Felipe to finish up. He wasn't one to simply leave so he sipped at his wine, letting Felipe decide when they would leave.

Felipe reached out and took the card with the males number before stuffing it in his jacket pocket. He gave a nod, "I will do so. Here's hoping I don't have to call right?" He grinned slightly as he took a sip of his wine and listened to the male explain how he could walk and that he would prefer to walk and enjoy the fresh air. Again he nodded and replied with a, "Understandable. Have a pleasant evening." Felipe then pulled his book out again, opened it and continued to read.
Fashion shows didn't start till at least 10 or 11pm and so he would just relax here until he had to leave. He reached in his jacket and pulled out box of cigarettes. Since he was in a more secluded area, it was alright for him to enjoy a smoke. Putting it between his lips, he took the candle that was sitting between them and lit the cigarette. He took a deep breath and let the smoke stream out of his nose.
Relaxation. How he enjoyed it.

At that a small smile managed to crack the males somewhat emotionless face "Hmm, Indeed let us hope" he voiced as he got up from his chair and grabbed his coat. "Thank you again for dinner.. I hope the fashion show goes well" He murmured softly as he slipped on his coat and excused himself from the table, making his way out of the restaurant at his own pace. Once outside he let out a long exhale- a slight grimace making it's way onto his lips .That had been slightly…nerve wracking.
It didn't really take him all that long to get to the bar Tayte was waiting at- they were regulars there but it took the bartender a few minutes to realize it was Him- and not a complete newbie. After that he received far more attention than he would have liked, from the staff and the patrons of the bar. Eventually he tuned them out- sipping on his drink and zoning out. He'd placed one elbow on the bar and his chin in the palm of his hand- swirling his drink with his straw.
Tayte was walking about flirting up a storm whilst…well, Chris was getting a fairly good buzz on. He didn't drink all that often, usually just accompanied Tayte…but after the day he had- he found that drinking was the most relaxing thing in the world. That is until he went to stand and found himself staggering a bit- had he really had that much? Then it dawned on him that he had some wine at dinner as well "Whoops" He murmured under his breath, sitting down again as Tayte staggered over to him- a silly grin on his face. 'That girl in the corners sheeeesss…pretty cute' was the only thing Tayte slurred out before he passed right by Chris and went towards the girl- striking up a conversation. Chris simply rolled his eyes- making small talk with the bartender…that's really all he did. Being somewhat antisocial. Even as a drinker he wasn't social- though he was far more open about things- and not such a strict workaholic.

The time came to head off to the fashion show as he put his things away, stood up and with a heavy sigh he headed off to the location of where the show was being held. He arrived there a good twenty minutes early so as to get her to see the contract and hopefully signed it. If she did then he also hoped to weasel his way out of sticking around to watch the fashion show. It didn't take her too long to look through it and sign away as she also expressed how she was happy to see him. He expressed the same joy to see her though he was trying to find a way to tell that he needed to go. And thus when she finally stopped talking he quickly went on to say, "As much as I would love to watch the show I'm afraid I have important business to attend to. I'm sure you head about what happened earlier today...all over the media...quite a mess. I have to deal with a few minor things or else the board is going to chew my a** out."
"Oh sweety I read all about that. What terrible thing to have to deal with. I completely understand. We'll spend some time together when we're both not too busy and certainly before I head off overseas again." She smiled and kissed his cheeks as she headed back to get ready.
"Yes, and of course welcome to the family," He smiled and nodded, regarding the contract she signed. She gave him a playful wink and off she went. He smiled and was just glad that he didn't have to stick around and so he quickly headed out and caught his driver before he could leave. He got in and instructed the man to take him to a bar since he needed a stiff drink.And thus within ten minutes he ended up in the bar where Chris and Tayte were. Of course he didn't notice the two as he sat at the other end of the bar with people currently blocking Chris from his view. He asked for a drink and sat there looking through his emails.

Emerald eyes darted to Tayte as he wandered over to Chris once again, the silly grin on his lips fading slowly as his goze moved from Tayte- to a figure over his shoulder. "What?" He voiced, raising a brow as he went to turn his head but Tayte reached forwards and bopped him on the forehead before he could look, earning a glare from the violet haired male as he lifted a hand to rub his forehead. "What was that for?" He grumbled- though a slight smile was starting to tug at his lips.
'That girl shot me down- put an arrow in my heart' he wailed over dramatically, completely forgetting that he had just seen their boss. Which was like him as he was very...drunk, at this point. He plopped down in the seat next to Chris and slung an arm over the males shoulder, plopping his forehead down against Chris's shoulder. 'mmdrunk. Chris, console me.' he muttered, lifting his head with a wolfish grin on his lips, and Chris simply rolled his eyes. He lifted a hand to ruffle his best friends hair "Get off me you big lug. I'm not here to take care of you- I needed a drink as much as you did- maybe more than you did..." he stated, earning a rumble of laughter from Tayte as he jumped up 'Oh come on, lighten up Chris!' He chided- and Christopher merely grinned "Oh, But I'm in a much better mood~" He stated, a more playful glimmer in his eyes.

Needless to say, Felipe had heard the commotion and looked up to see that Chris was here along with his friend. As usual he chose to observe, keeping his distance and watching the two interact. He occasionally took a sip of his drink. He had almost forgot what it was like to get drunk. The last time he actually got drunk, he was in college and getting ******** up with his frat brothers. Those were some good days of course and now it was all sorts of stress. Then again he couldn't complain since he had an amazing paying job and he was surrounded by fine a** people. In the end it was worth it.
Of course he did think about how he could try and have his way with a not so sober person and he had his eyes on Chris. That'd be a fun situation. In fact maybe he could get himself drunk as well so that at least when they woke up in the same bed they'd both be at fault. Well it's something he'd think about. For now he'd observe.

Chris watched Tayte as he chatted with a few more people, and then suddenly he found his glasses being snatched from his face. Bright eyes widened as his vision blurred further "Hey! I need those!" He gasped, reaching out to take them back but Tayte held them far above his head- too high from Chris to reach. A slight pout made its way onto Chris's lips- though he didn't seem to notice the sudden attention that was focused upon him and Tayte. He punched the others chest light heartedly- a genuine smile lifting the corner of his lips "You- Your lucky You're my best friend or I'd sock you one" He stated- a light bout of laughter passing his lips as Tatye stuck his tongue out at him and returned his glasses.
Chris slipped his glasses back on- finally taking notice of the people watching- a slight flush rising to his cheeks though it wasn't hugely noticeable. "Ah.." He muttered- taking a step back and plopping back down on his stool. The world spun for a moment and he shook his head, which of course just made it worse and he found himself blinking a few times. "Woah- more than I thought" He breathed, his face still slightly flushed.
His gaze followed Tayte as he went back to flirting and he simply smiled to himself "Big oaf" He muttered- lifting his hand to run his fingers through his hair.

After a moment of watching, he called the bartender over and after exchanging a couple of words he gave a nod and downed what was last of his drink. He got another and watched while the bartender went over and set down a drink in front of Chris, explaining that it was free, courtesy of someone in the room. Of course the drink had been made in front of Chris so that he didn't think something was put in it.
Felipe sat there and took sips of his drink, watching and wondering if Chris would look around and spot him. Even if he didn't that'd be fine since he'd go over and join him at some point.

Emerald green eyes drifted to the bar tender, a look of puzzlement entering his eyes. He watched as the drink was made, then let his gaze wander the room slowly- trying to figure out who had just bought him this drink. Of course his gaze stopped on the familiar blonde- recognition flashing in his eyes as he lifted a hand hesitantly and gave a small wave from where he was. He hadn't expected to see him again so...soon. Especially because he had said he was going to a fashion show and such...
Picking up the drink he took a sip- curious as to what had been made for him. It wasn't overly strong tasting so he was comfortable drinking it- then again some drinks didn't taste too strong and they had a high alcohol content.

Didn't take long for the young male to spot him and after what he thought to be a cute wave, he smiled and rose his glass as if to say 'enjoy' and took a sip of his drink again. After a moment he stood and walked over and joined the male. "Mind if I join you?" He sat down either way and finished off his second drink as it was finally getting him completely relaxed. Of course he was yet to get buzzed but he'd get there soon enough.
"So then, how long have you been working for the company? Haven't seen you till today. Takes me about a month for me to take notice of a new employ so either you've been here for a month of I've seen you far quicker than others." He chuckled ever so slightly and asked for yet another drink. He had an open tab as he was planning on having a couple drinks for the night.

Christopher watched the other male approach warily- he was being awfully friendly....and Chris hadn't exactly been pleasant earlier so he didn't get it. "No... Not at all" He muttered as he watched the man take a seat and finish off his drink. "A little less than a month. I mean- You probably only...noticed me, because I was down with Tayte in the studio." He stated simply, taking another sip of the drink the other male had bought for him.
His gaze then slid to Tayte- who was with a group of people now "He's the biggest social butterfly I've ever met" he stated- though a fond smile slipped onto his lips. Tayte was the only person who had ever stuck around him despite the fact that his personality could be...well, not so good. "I don't make friends all too easily- let alone keep them for years" He continued- pulling his gaze away from Taye and back to the blonde man at his side.
"so....What brings you here?"
He had been sure that Felipe was going to be at a fashion show- and it was weird to run into this guy again...especially when there was no actual communication between them saying what bar he was at... The coincidence was very strange.
