Another charity fundraiser (open)
It was always good business to be seen in public supporting a good cause.

Carol told herself this as she smiled yet again at another tuxedo-clad man regaling her with his list of good deeds to impress her. President and CEO of Ferris Air sounded good, and it looked lovely when written in a calligraphy hand on an invitation. The fact that she was currently drowning in paperwork back at the office and should be attending to it put a bit of a damper on the evening.

She tacked her smile in place and listened to...what was his name again?...with feigned interest, hoping for a rescue or at least a distraction. A waiter with more champagne would do nicely.

"Good to know I'm not repugnant." Carol was still amused despite the odd turn the conversation had taken. There was, however, a tiny but noticeable relaxing in her shoulders. She let herself sink into the leather seat a bit.

"I was not aware of any embezzlement in the charity. You must know how stringent the rules are when government contracts are involved. One infraction can pull a contract worth millions. I really was there because my secretary put it on my schedule and I decided to check it out. She has a soft spot for halfway houses. Her nephew was in some trouble a few years' back and she's taken an interest in them. I only donate after I've done my own research."

"I'm well aware of those rules, Carol, but it seems whoever is doing the skimming in the organization things that they're above the law. I don't like getting involved with people like that." Bruce says.

"In any event, any investigation is going to be launched, starting tonight. We got out of there just ahead of the police, who will be looking to speak with the organizers and get to the bottom of things." Bruce says.

"Meanwhile, we're on our way to feed you." he grins.

She grinned back. "Then I owe you a thanks on behalf of Ferris Air. Your timely intervention is doubly appreciated. Now I won't be bored into a stupor and I get to have a Philly cheese steak. It's a win-win for me."
