Part 1 -- Sandra's conundrum
It wasn't normal for me to be sitting in my office doing nothing, but the company was doing well and there was little for me to do that day. I had spent the better part of the morning composing a mail to the staff about our upcoming 2 year anniversary party, but most of the time had been wasted on daydreaming. I decided it was about time I finished it, though, so I suppressed my desire to do nothing and placed my fingers on the keyboard. In the middle of typing I was interrupted by my secretary over the intercom.
"Mr. Castle?" the voice said.
"Yes, Suzy?" I answered absently.
"A Mrs. Sandra Doe from the 4th floor called and requested a meeting with you this morning. What message should I give her?"
"What was it about?" I wondered.
"She didn't say. Want me to ask her?"
"No, that's not necessary. Tell her to come up whenever she feels like it," I said as I had nothing important lined up. "Oh, and make sure she comes in before lunch," I added.
"Will do, sir."
Mrs. Doe was sent in by Suzy not long after. She obviously didn't want to waste any time before showing up. I looked up from my typing as she entered the room. She was dressed in a classy, dark grey suit with a tight skirt and a jacket. She walked over to me on high heels with a certain elegance, her hips swaying smoothly from side to side. I got up to shake her hand when she reached my desk.
"Welcome Mrs. Doe," I greeted her.
"Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Castle. It's a pleasure to meet you," she said and shook my hand gently.
"The pleasure is all mine," I said with a smile. She smiled slightly and quickly lowered her eyes, seemingly slightly embarrassed. She was definitely a beautiful woman, with her dark red hair and matching lipstick. Her face was somewhat round, and she had a captivating smile. "Please, sit down," I added, gesturing to a chair. She sat down, crossing her legs, and put the folder she was carrying in her lap.
"So, what can I do for you, Mrs. Doe?" I asked after a moment of silence.
"I needed to talk to you about..." she started hesitantly. "Well, you see... me and my husband have run into some difficulties... financially, I mean."
"Oh?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, you see... um... we just moved into a bigger apartment a few months ago. And soon after we moved in, the rent was almost doubled! Don't ask he how, my husband was the one that handled the contract. And normally we would be able to pay that... barely... but that fool..." she bit her lip as she was getting a bit more agitated than she had planned. "My husband had taken up a loan on a boat... behind my back... I didn't know anything about it until he told me last week. And there's no way we'll be able to pay for both the boat and the apartment each month now that the rent is this high. I mean... you have probably noticed yourself how the prices are increasing these days," she explained, before quickly adding: "I'm not saying you have any problems affording it, of course..."
"Oh, yes, I have noticed. I happen to own an apartment complex not far from here, and I had to up the rent slightly for my tenants myself. But anyway. Didn't you explain this to you husband, Mrs. Doe?" I continued. "I'm sure he could return the boat and get his money back."
"Oh, please. Just call me Sandra," she insisted. I nodded slightly. "And, yes. I did try to explain... In fact, I told him to return the boat. But he said it was impossible to return it now." Sandra sighed, obviously frustrated with her husband. "Then he suggested I could ask for a raise instead, since I worked at a 'big shot commercial firm'. I bet that was his plan all along so he could keep the boat. The bastard probably lied about making the phone calls as well just to get his fucking wife to fix it!" she said angrily, getting more agitated than she had planned again. She looked down, calming herself. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to say fuck... um... to swear."
"That's quite alright, Sandra. Think nothing of it," I said quickly with a smile. "You have every right to be angry."
"Thank you for being so understanding, Mr. Castle," she said with a sigh of relief. "And to prove to you that I am serious about this, I brought some papers that may convince you that I really deserve a raise." She opened her folder and handed me some papers.
"Thank you," I said and got up. I motioned for her to move over to the coach as I wanted to get more comfortable if I had to go through all the paperwork. "Can I offer you something to drink?"
"Oh, thank you. Cafe latte if you have," she said as she got up.
"Coming right up. Just go over to the couch and have a seat." She nodded and moved over to the couch in the corner. I couldn't help but notice her behind as she made her way across the room. Her round butt was looking really great in her tight skirt as she walked across the room. I quickly called up my secretary, ordered our drinks, and moved over to join Sandra in the coach.
I told Sandra that she could take off her jacket if she wanted, and she obliged. That happened to give me a better idea of what her bust was like. Her breasts seemed to fill out her blouse perfectly, and she had certainly picked an outfit that emphasised that she was well endowed. After a quick glance, we got down to business, and soon Suzy came in with our drinks.
It was apparent that Sandra had done a good job at the firm, but the amount she asked for was still a bit high. I went over her papers one more time as I finished my drink.
"So..." she started carefully. I didn't reply, so she continued. "What are my chances, Mr. Castle?"
"Well, it's apparent that you are a real asset to the company, but I fear what you're asking for is a bit high for the type of work you do," I stated.
