HUNTER: I’ve never had a barista write a phone number on my cup before.

HUNTER: So is this a real number or is this a new way of giving out a fake number?

DATE & TIME: June 30th, afternoon

LOCATION: PRIDE Parade

TAGGING: Tina @tinacchq & Mia Rutherford @fashionmiahq  (with mentions of @ryanp-hq)

When Hunter had signed up to help with PRIDE, he expected to be used to help with the heavy lifting.  He didn’t expect to be turned into an ambassador for the company.  But getting paired with Tina and Mia, (but mostly Tina) made it easier.  

While Mia and Tina were busy engaging as many possible recruits as possible, Hunter was more than content to just pass out information with a quick hello, good day, or enjoy the parade.  When Tina started giving him crap for not engaging, reminding him they needed to be memorable, he lifted his shirt.  Hunter didn’t really want to take off his shirt, it was pretty perfect for the day, but he would if he had to.  

And that was when Tina, kind hearted Tina, his roommate, his closest friend at IHQ, wounded him deeply by suggesting his abs alone weren’t enough. That’s how he found himself getting rubbed down by both Tina and Mia as the two women applied liberal amounts of body glitter to his chest, arms, and back.  The things he did for IHQ, or possibly more accurately, for Tina.  Especially once she laid the ‘It is likely that there will never be another reason for me to undress you, so you should probably let me have this,’ line on him.

The women weren’t wrong though, the glitter definitely made him stand out more, and had more people coming up to him.  Which was why he soon found himself approaching the ever friendly doorman from the IHQ complex.  If anyone could help Hunter with the talking to people bit of his job for the day, it was Ryan.  At least the other was a good sport, removing his own shirt and getting cross contaminated with glitter as part of the process.  If anyone was looking for a reason to join the Influence team, this one man at the door was a perk.

Zachary looked around the event hall where everything had been set up. His tux was one of the many that were in his closet, and even just putting it on reminded him how different his life was now. Never before had he put on a tuxedo other than for prom, and even then it had been some cheap rental. It hadn’t been anything great and nothing of this caliber. But playing the part of Zachary Lee meant that he would be doing many things that he wasn’t used to doing. Drinking expensive wine, small talking with folks that wouldn’t have even given him the time of day only a few years earlier, and organizing events like this to get their name out. Most of all, he’d have to work for the very company he despised if he was going to get anywhere. From there, he would bring it down.

No one had come yet, and the finishing touches were being put on the table and he was waiting for the photographer to show up. Had he been given more time, he would have found a more professional photographer, but within the time frame, the best one he could get was from Flash Studio. Whether or not they were reputed as good he hadn’t found out, but they were able to give him someone as opposed to the other companies that were booked for months in advance. So this would have to do. The charity event was a big deal for Kang Enterprises and for him. It was his chance to shine, and make his way up the ladder even more. He already had Jae Yong in his hand, but the big man was left to convince. Events like these were too small for him or for Zach’s father to show up, but if he could make these successful, he would be in charge of those bigger ones. When his assistant informed him that the photographer arrived, Zachary went to greet them. “Hello. I’m Zachary Lee.”
