Just after 8:30 a.m., Jamie made her way into her office, not too sure if her co-worker Roxanne had managed to poison the well yet.
Who would have thought that having an inappropriate and strictly forbidden sexual relationship with a prospective client would
not
be the biggest problem she had on her plate -- especially when she had a back-stabbing bitch like Roxanne itching to destroy her career.
Thankfully, her boss Danny Chang smiled as she passed his office, casually calling out, "Morning, Jamie," so she figured the hag hadn't had time to get to him yet. Then she frowned. Or she could be just biding her time to be sure she had enough evidence to hang her with.
The moment she got in her office, Clark, the cause of all it, who also happened to be the man she'd come to realize she couldn't live without, texted her and asked, '
You okay?'
Heaving a breath, Jamie texted back,
'Yeah, just saw Danny, and he seemed fine.'
'Glad to hear it. So, I'll see you tonight?'
Now she was counting on it. She needed him, even though she'd never felt like she'd needed anyone before, she
did
need him. And although she hadn't planned it, somehow he'd become her rock. And the only person in the world she knew she could count on.
About to text him back, she looked up, when the devil herself, Roxanne, popped her head in the doorway and seeing Jamie's fingers poised over her phone, she murmured coyly,
"Tell him I said hi, okay?"
Before she gave her a little wink and sauntered on down the hallway.
"Bitch," Jamie muttered under her breath. Why were some women like that, so eager to tear another woman apart? When, with her looks, she could probably get anyone she wanted. Well, except for maybe Clark, then Jamie would definitely have to go for her throat.
Finally, sure she was gone, Jamie texted back,
'The bitch just walked in and said to say hi.'
Then she added,
'But I will
see you tonight. And now I can hardly wait.'
"Me, too. See you then,"
he texted back.
Just her second day at her new job, Jamie fired up her computer and started checking the stock markets. Hong Kong's Stock Exchange was already reporting, as were Australia's, and Tokyo's, so at least she could get a feeling where the markets were heading. After all, this was what she was hired to do, to take care of her client's investments, and not to go to war with the office witch over the affair she was having with a prospective client. Who of course she didn't know was a possible client when they started it. But that probably wouldn't matter if she got caught.
As she was going over the numbers, her new boss Danny strode in. Looking worried, he said to her, "I emailed Mr. Philips who we met with yesterday, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. So I was thinking, since you two seemed to get along nicely at dim sum, perhaps you could offer to have lunch with him again today, just to try and feel him out."
Jamie's eyebrows nearly shot to her hairline when he said that -- since she'd pretty much done nothing but feel him
up
, since she'd met him when they'd first landed in Hong Kong. But if her boss was telling her to go have lunch with him, then who was she to argue?
So, she got out her phone again and actually phoned Clark while Danny sat and waited. Just to be on the safe side, she made sure to turn down the volume so he couldn't make out what Clark was saying, which turned out to be a very good idea, considering the naughty stuff he came out with. Smiling at Danny, once Clark answered, doing her best to keep a straight face, Jamie said into the phone, "Oh, hello, Mr. Philips. This is Jamie Lockhart. We met yesterday at the bank."
When he laughed and said, "Yeah, I think I remember you. You're the one that tastes like warm honey on my tongue, like you did this morning, when I was between your legs, right?"
Trying to keep a straight face, and not squirm in her seat, thinking back to how insanely good that felt, she said, "Um, yes, glad you remember. But I was just calling to ask if you'd like to have lunch again today. And maybe we can discuss any questions or concerns you might have about your investments."
"Actually now that you ask, I do have one question. Do think we'll have time for a quickie, because damn, having a nooner with you would really make my day."
Nodding and smiling at Danny who was obliviously sitting expectantly and waiting, she said, "Of course, anything is possible, Mr. Philips, depending on your timing of course."
"Oh, for you I'll have all the time in the world. But I take it your boss is sitting right there?"
"Yes, that's correct," she said, smiling again to reassure Danny, although she was doing her damndest not to laugh.
"Well, then I'd love to have lunch with you, Miss Lockhart. And don't bother with panties, because they'll be coming off the moment I see you. Oh, and tell Danny boy, that you may be a while, since I'm thinking we'll have lots of things to discuss. For instance, if you like it better when I'm on top, or you are."
Grinning, because her pussy was almost dripping from everything he was saying, she said, "I'll be sure to tell him that. But to answer your question, I'd say it's both, either works for me."
He chuckled. "Good to know. And I'll be waiting out in front of your building at noon, and I now I can hardly wait. And remember, Miss Lockhart --
no
panties."
"Yes, sir," she said, before she hung up. Biting down on her lip, to keep down the giddy laugh bubbling up inside her, she said, to Danny, "Well, he's agreed to have lunch with me, but says he's got lots to discuss, so we may be a while."
Danny threw up his hands, with a big smile. "Well in that case, just take the rest of the day off. If you can land his account it will be well worth you taking a few hours off, don't you think?"
Yeah, and it would be well worth it for her, too, since she needed the stress relief after the morning she'd already had, after being confronted about Clark by Roxanne.
But just to be on the safe side, since she wasn't even sure before if she'd be working with him -- once she realized who he was -- after her boss Danny left, she took her first close look at Clark's investments and was surprised to discover he'd been seriously underserviced by his previous investment firm, if not outright swindled. The results he was seeing were hardly stellar, and the fees they'd been charging him were exorbitant. But like Clark had said, since inheriting the family firm from his father, he was shaking things up and making some changes. And just as well too, since his money wasn't doing much for him where it had been sitting, stagnant enough to be practically growing moss.
