Food court

Robert pulled into the mall parking lot. He usually enjoyed his job as a district manager for one of the mall retail stores. But today was one of those days when he wished he could be somebody else. Due to the poor economy and a tremendous drop in sales, the store in this particular mall was getting ready to be closed down. He had managed to transfer a couple of the employees to other stores, but the majority of employees had to be let go. He sat in his car for a couple extra minutes, before finally heading in to get the closing sale underway.
As the day went on, the merchandise was moving out of the store fairly smoothly, and the staff was handling everything pretty well. Robert decided to head down to the food court and get something to eat. He went to the little café that he almost always went to whenever he was at this particular mall.
He noticed, that the same girl who had been there all summer was there again. She was about 5’4”, with her long red hair pulled back in two braids. He green eyes sparkled when she saw him, and he couldn’t help but watch her very large breasts bounce as she came up to the counter. “Hi there,” she said smiling widely. “The usual today?”
“You mean you remember what I usually get?” Robert asked.
“Of course I do. You’ve been in quite a bit this summer.” Then the girl asked, “is that because you work here in the mall?”
“You could say that,” Robert said. Then he told her what his job was and why he had been in this mall so much lately. She got a little pouty look on her face and told Robert how that was one of her favorite stores and was upset that they had to shut it down. He told her how upsetting it was for him to have to be the one to close it down. Finally his order came up, and he took it to a table and sat down, starting to eat.
After a few minutes he saw the girl from the café approaching with a drink cup in her hand. “Is it alright if I sit with you?”
Robert looked around, half expecting to find some camera crew getting him on a prank television show. Not seeing anything, and noticing that she was waiting expectantly for an answer, he told her to go ahead. She very happily sat down next to him. As she sat down he couldn’t help but watch her slide into the chair. He didn’t know what her perfume was, but it caused him to pull in a big breath and he could feel a warmth flow throughout his body. She must have sensed what she was doing to him because he noticed her trying to hide a smile.
She sat sipping on her drink as she watched him work on the last bit of his sandwich. Finally she said, “It must be really hard to deal with being forced to close down a store. Having to deal with disappointed customers and upset employees; it must be REALLY frustrating.”
Robert looked at her curiously. “Yes, it is. The customers aren’t so bad, because a disappointed customer is much easier to deal with than an angry customer. But the employee’s, especially the ones who are not getting transferred…they are the hardest part for me.”
“I could tell that it’s been hard on you,” She said comfortingly.
