"Good.My outfit will make his eyes pop out of his head."She giggles so hard she can barely breathe.
It makes me chuckle despite my professional attitude."He would enjoy that very much.Will you be stopping by later on to demonstrate your products?"
"Oh, you are good, Siri.Yes, I'm on my way now.Charlie was gone five whole days!I need a good fucking."
"Yes, ma'am.Please don't describe it to me.Save your sales pitch for him."
She giggles again."I like you, Siri."
"Likewise, ma'am.See you soon."I hang up the phone and doodle a pretend note.
Mandy occasionally surprises Charlie with an office fuck.She pops in, does Charlie, then pops out.But after TD started working, the dynamic changed.As soon as she left Charlie's office, TD came out of his.He stood at the glass door practically panting as he watched her climb into her baby blue Mazda Miata, pick up her recently acquired, enormous tits, and positioned them so she could steer, then drove away.
"DAMN," is the only word he said.
Then Charlie came out of his office, strolled to the water cooler, poured himself a cup, sipped it slowly, then turned to look at TD.The two men exchanged a meaningful look that turned into a knowing grin, then they both returned to their offices without saying a word.
TD wants Mandy, Mandy wants TD, and Charlie wants to watch.I know I could really make their budding threesome awesome.
I might just write Mandy the note when I leave.
For the next hour, I look for Mandy's Miata to pull in the lot, but she never shows.
The phone rings."Connors Chemical Corporation.This is Siri.How may I direct your call?"
"Siri, this is Mandy.My mom stopped by.I won't be coming in this morning after all."
She sounds like she has been crying."I'm sorry to hear that.Is there anything I can do?"
"No.I just wanted you to know.Thanks."
Hanging up the phone, I stare at it concerned.She is always so happy and bubbly.To think she has been crying breaks my heart.
I immediately think of Lei.She came from an abusive family, but she made a better life for herself, and she enjoys that life to the fullest.Mandy is a lot like Lei.
Suddenly, Charlie snatches open his office door, and as he hurries out, he tells me, "I won't be back today.Something unexpected has come up."
"Yes, sir," I tell him, but I'm thinking, 'Good.Your wife needs you.'
After lunch, I walk back to Mr.Connor's office and knock.When no one answers, I leave my payroll evaluation papers in his inbox outside his door along with a resignation letter thanking him for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of his company.
I have one more day with Connors Chemical Corporation.Then my time is my own again.
TD comes out of his office several times in the afternoon to chat me up, but I pretend to be busy.He doesn't need any encouragement.
At 3:45, I straighten my desk, waiting for 4 o'clock sharp.The plan tonight to see Mr.Sexy is simple.I will listen at my door for him to leave, then I will go down in the elevator with him to my car.
Suddenly, TD comes out of his office in a full-blown panic.
I put my hand to my heart."TD, what's wrong?Is it Mandy?"
He doesn't hear me.He rants as he paces back and forth."Goddammit, Rachael.You Bitch!You can't cancel now!There isn't enough time to find someone else!Goddammit!"He puts his fingers in his mouth and chews his manicured nails, then starts pacing again."I finally get an invitation to the cocktail party tomorrow night, and you dump me the day before?Fuckin' cunt, some friend you are!That's just like you, though, leaving me high and dry!"He runs his fingers through his hair."What am I going to do?"
I listen as he blows off steam, ranting about being inducted into the local big money boys exclusive circle, but he can't go alone.He has to have a date.Then he turns on his heel, walks over to my desk, puts both hands on it, and leans toward me."What are you doing tomorrow night, Siri?Would you consider going with me?"
"No," I answer automatically.
He throws his hands up, spins around, and starts pacing again.He turns to me and begs."PLEASE!I am desperate here!I have to have a date.I can't go alone, and I don't know anyone else in this fucking hell hole I can ask.Please!"
