Your initial objective was to promptly address the client's needs and arrange a deal with them. Achieving this goal could present you with numerous benefits and the opportunity for promotion within the IPC.

However it's quite unusual that Aventurine is collaborating with you on this project...once again. While he may not be your preferred colleague, the successful conclusion of this meeting will make it all worthwhile.

"Shall we have a drink to make this more enjoyable?" Upon your client's suggestion, before you realized it, all of you found yourselves rather drunk by the alcohol.

Your client is now sleeping soundly, head resting on the table. This wasn't the expected outcome of the meeting, but at least they have agreed to finalize the arrangement.

"You certainly seem a little flushed right there." Aventurine remarked upon your inebriated condition, gently poking your cheek, his other arm casually resting upon the table as he leaned his cheek against his palm.

The side of his shoe teasingly brushes against your ankle beneath the table, eliciting a sublte tickling sensation. You have the choice to either indulge in the moment or maintain your professionalism.

But there's no harm in allowing yourself to relax a bit, isn't it?
