Jason, understanding that this was his moment to create a strong first impression, stepped forward, extending a hand with an easy, confident smile. "That's right, I am. And you're Ms Samantha, I presume?"
Samantha regarded him for a long moment before accepting his handshake, her grip firm and her gaze unyielding. "Just Samantha. Veronica mentioned you had a certain charm about you." Her voice was as smooth as glass, with an edge that left no room for uncertainty. "I have things to get off my schedule. Fifteen minutes. Why don't we get started?"
Jason nodded, inwardly understanding a lot from the encounter. So she was someone who was strongarming, according to her grip. But she also had a thing about her age, otherwise she would not have asked him to get him to call her just Samantha. And from the way she was talking, leading the conversation, she might be a control freak.
