Monday morning was a big day at work. Even though we arrived early, they were already delivering the furniture for the new executive wing of the building where Keith and I would be working. The decorator was there telling the men where to put the furniture and Keith and I went up to see how everything looked. It was amazing how they had converted the empty office space into an impressive office suite in about a week.
I went back down to the reception desk so I could be there when Rhonda, the new receptionist, arrived. She arrived a few minutes early and I went over the phone and messaging system on the computer with her. She had worked with both systems before so it was just a matter of her sorting out who was who and what extensions they were on. She was pleasant, smart and sociable, so I could tell that she would represent the company well and I would hardly be missed at the front desk.
I went back up to the executive office area where they had set up most of the furniture. Keith told them to get our offices set up first; then worry about the conference room and file room. He wanted us to be able to get up and running as quickly as possible. Our phones and computer equipment wouldn't be set up until later in the morning but there was still plenty to do.
Keith was like a field general during a huge battle. I was so proud. He knew exactly what he wanted and how to get it done. He'd obviously put a lot of thought into this and it was coming together just as he'd planned.
I walked through the executive office area to get a feel for the layout of the place while trying to stay out of the way of all the men moving furniture around. There were still two nice sized offices that were empty. There was a kitchen with all the appliances and two nice sized tables and there was a big bathroom with a shower, two sinks and lots of mirrors. It looked like Keith had thought of everything.
Just about the time the men were done moving in furniture, file cabinets, chairs and bookshelves; a new batch of men arrived and started setting up the phone and computer equipment. I was able to start getting the filing set up and start putting away things that Keith had 'filed' on chairs, under desks and in cardboard boxes. He didn't lie to me when he said he wasn't "the most organized guy in the world when it comes to office stuff."
Keith and I went to lunch to let them finish with the wires and assorted things that had to be done to finish setting up the computers and phones. By the time we returned, everything was done and all of the delivery people were gone. We closed the sliding doors separating us from the rest of the building and we were alone in the executive offices.
I went into Keith's office and he came around his desk and wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against him and kissed me. I was really surprised but I melted against him because it felt so good. "What happened to being discrete on the job?" I giggled when he let me go.
"I told you, being locked in the executive offices with me was one of the perks of the job." He laughed. "Besides, no one can get through the sliding doors unless you or I let them in."
"I can see where this can put me in some very interesting and compromising positions." I said with a smile.
"And humiliating, too," he said taking me in his arms again, "That's the plan."
He took me into my office and showed me how, by pressing a key combination on my computer, I could see the sliding doors on my monitor and, by pressing another key combination; I could open the doors to let someone in. "See," he said, "No one can come in unless one of us opens the door for them. We're completely isolated from the rest of the building."
"And how did you explain this extraordinary security?" I teased, "You needed privacy so you could sexually molest your personal assistant?"
"Well, that IS the main reason," he laughed, "But there's also the fact that all the blueprints, plans and technical specifications for everything we make are stored here. That's why no comes in here unless we let them in. And even then, they can't just walk around unescorted."
"How about Phil?" I asked.
"That includes Phil," he said much to my surprise. "Phil knows what we make and what is in development but he's not an engineer and he doesn't need to know how the things work, just what they do. I trust him completely, but this information is the cornerstone of everything I've worked for and everything I hope for the future."
"But I'm not an engineer", I said, "and I don't need to know how things work but I have access to everything you've done. I have access to your hopes for the future."
"Heather," he looked at me suddenly very serious, "You are my future."
My eyes started to fill up and I threw my arms around him and said, "If the furniture wasn't new, I'd rape you right here." And I kissed him hard and deep.
