The mobile phone ringing in the distance became louder and seemed oddly familiar as it invaded her subconsciousness and jolted Mandy from her dream state. She rubbed her eyes as she tried to shake off the hazy throws of deep sleep. She suddenly connected with the familiarity of the ringtone and bolted upright, reaching for her phone.
"Hullo?" she answered in a raw and raspy voice, leaving no doubt to the caller that they had woken her up. She glanced at the time and realized she had only been asleep for a few hours.
"Miss Hall, this is Evelyn from Mrs. Pearson's office."
"Yes, what is it Evelyn?" Mandy responded, now more fully awake.
"Mrs. Pearson wants to see you in her office in exactly one hour."
"B-b-but it's only 7 o'clock, what could she -..." Mandy was promptly cut off by Mrs. Pearson's irritated assistant.
"Miss Hall, be in her office at the Foundation by 8 a.m. and may I suggest you shower before you meet with her?" Evelyn ended the call before she could respond again.
What in the hell could that be about? Mandy thought to herself. Whatever it was, she knew she'd better not be late given the serious tone in Evelyn's voice.
She went into her bathroom and saw her stained clothes and her pumps scattered across the floor and the events of the evening suddenly came rushing back to her.
Mandy quickly showered, put on some make-up, threw on some modest jeans and a sweater and drove downtown to meet Mrs. Pearson.
When Mandy entered the Foundation lobby, Evelyn looked up, then immediately rose from her desk and walked towards the closed office door.
"Mrs. Pearson is waiting for you," she said opening up the door, a slight smirk on her face.
As Mandy walked into her office, she saw Mrs. Pearson sitting in her chair with her back to the door, staring out the window at the magnificent view of the skyline, the morning sun painting the mountain range in vivid pastel colors.
Mandy stopped in front of her desk and paused for a moment. "Good Morning Mrs. Pearson. You wanted to see me?"
After a long pause, she replied, "You know, I never get tired of this view," still staring out the window.
Gayle turned around in her chair, then leaned back with her hands clasped on her lap and a faux smile on her face. She motioned for Mandy to sit in one of the chairs in front of her desk.
"I understand you had an eventful evening last night. Do tell me all about it."
As Mandy sat, she started with a recap of her night.
"Well, after I left your home last night I met up with the Klausmans at The Canyons. They are such wonderful people but unfortunately they had to leave early this morning."
"Yes, yes, I know all of that," she replied impatiently. "I've already heard from the ambassador before their flight left this morning. Anything else happen?"
Mandy was silent for a moment, trying to process what she might be after. She had a puzzled look on her face as Mrs. Pearson leaned forward with her steely eyes locked on Mandy's, and spun the open laptop on her desk around so the display was facing her.
Mandy immediately saw a picture momentarily frozen in time on the screen of herself sitting in her Corvette. As the video began playing she was immediately filled with an overwhelming sense of dread.
Taken from a security camera located at some high vantage point, obviously somewhere overhead in the front drive of the hotel, the high-resolution video clip started at the point where Shane, the valet, started ejaculating into Mandy's mouth. Whoever was operating the camera at the time had deftly zoomed in at just the precise moment to get a tight shot that clearly showed every detail of what was going on.
For added effect, the video went into slow-motion mode so the cum shots shooting from the valet's penis towards Mandy's mouth were long, slow arcs of exaggerated and amplified contrails of goo. They seemed to hang in mid-air as they reached their apogee, then the streams began to break apart as they descended and splashed onto her eager tongue before spilling out of the corners of her mouth.
After Gayle's initial shock and anger at seeing the video for the first time, she had watched the video another thirty or so times, equally amazed both at the boy's volume of discharge and Mandy's voracious appetite for the stuff. Gayle never let on how aroused it made her from repeatedly watching the video.
Mandy sat in stunned silence as she watched the sordid scene unfold in front of her. She was shocked, mortified and suddenly fearful as the video ended showing her driving away from the hotel. At the same time, she felt a familiar tingle down below, for she had never seen a video of herself engaging in a sex act. It was strangely erotic, yet terrifying.
When she could bring herself to look at Mrs. Pearson, she was sitting back in her chair staring at Mandy with a bemused look on her face
"Do you mind telling me what in the hell you were thinking young lady?"
It was a rhetorical question and Gayle didn't give her a chance to answer nor did she want to hear an explanation.
"When I decided to invest in your business, you sat right here in this office and do you recall the first thing we discussed?"
Mandy only nodded, her eyes downcast towards the floor.
"We talked about discretion Mandy," she said disdainfully, her voice rising in anger as she spoke.
"About how it applied to me, to you and to my donors. And you violated my most fundamental rule and put all three of us at risk!" Mrs. Pearson furiously spat the words out.
"Mandy, with you taking your act public, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots and link you right back to me and potentially to the Klausmans as well. And for what? Just so you could get your jollies by getting some guy off? I understand men not being able to keep it in their pants, but I honestly thought you were better than that."
Mandy sat there panic-stricken as Mrs. Pearson unloaded on her.
"I can only imagine the international scandal and embarrassment it could have caused, and on the night of my most glorious fundraising achievement ever," she said almost mournfully, her voice trailing off.
"Mrs. Pearson," she began softly as tears began to fall down her cheeks, "I don't know what to say except that I am so sorry that I've put you in this situation." She began to sob quietly.
Gayle looked at the pathetic wreck in front of her. The irony was not lost on her that these same cheeks that were now covered in tears had been splattered with the valet's semen just hours earlier, at least according to the clear video evidence.
She put her hand up to stop Mandy. "Calm down and enough with the histrionics," she said, sliding a box of tissues across the desk to her.
"Fortunately, I'm good friends with the owners of The Canyons, and their head of security has worked for me in the past. He alerted me to the video as soon as it happened and I have the only copy now as far as I know. I think I've contained the situation, no thanks to you."
Still weeping, Mandy just nodded her head, her eyes averting Mrs. Pearson's.
Gayle leaned forward in her chair. "Mandy, look at me. If we're to continue as partners then you need to start showing better judgement starting right now. I told you before there could be no compromise when it comes to privacy and discretion and you violated my trust."
"So, consider this your first and last warning. If it happens again, you and our relationship will be terminated immediately with extreme prejudice," she said sternly.
