This has been the best week of my life. My workload has not let up, but Sarah explained her position in the company. Everyone in this department has a personal secretary who is there to satisfy and relieve them when work gets too much. By the nature of their jobs, they often have to work late, early and pull all-nighters.
The deadline for me to have all the companies scanned & digitized is getting close. Sarah has made the long hours not only bearable but enjoyable. But there is one thing I am nervous about. That is why I am meeting with my boss.
"Mrs. Parker," I said as I knocked on her open door.
"Come in. Dennis, feel free to take a break," Agatha Parker said.
"Yes, mam," Dennis said. Dennis and I politely shook hands as he left Agatha's office and shut the door.
"So, James, you wanted to discuss Mrs. Farron?" Agatha asked.
"Yes." I straightened my tie as I sat down.
"Well, I am sorry, she does not meet your expectations, but I am afraid it is against our policy to terminate her. We can arrange a transfer with someone else in the department if all four parties are...."
"Excuse me, but I do not want to get rid of Sarah. I love her." As soon as this came out of my mouth, I regretted it. I felt blood rush to my head as I carried on. "Well, I mean, she is great. She exceeds expectations."
"Hmm." I could swear the slightest smirk flashed across Mrs. Parker's face before she continued, "Well, Mrs. Farron has met with me almost weekly for the last 4 months. She has voiced her concerns about her job performance. She has worried that she did not meet your standards."
"She does! I just..." I trailed off.
"Did not know." Mrs. Parker finished. "I am aware. Mrs. Farron explained everything to me Wednesday. I am sorry I did not mention her responsibilities to you when I offered you the job. I assumed all the details of the position were explained to you prior. So what about Mrs. Farron do you wish to discuss?"
"Her contract, mam. What are her duties? Specifically?"
"You want to know what she is down for and what she is not."
"Yes. I really appreciate her and want to ensure she always feels comfortable."
Mrs. Parker smiled. "Very smart of you. I started as a personal secretary 11 years ago, and on my second week, a male employee tried to do something outside my contract. Good to know this stuff, James."
Mrs. Parker opened a drawer under her desk and produced a manila folder. "Let's see here. Farron, Sarah's Does: starting from most comfortable to reluctantly willing. She is most comfortable with handjobs, oral sex, touching/feeling (even rough), vaginal sex (after a month trial)..."
"Trail?" I asked.
"Yes. Month trial. To ensure the safety and comfort of all our employees, one may request a month's trial before performing a specific act. Despite your ignorance, she checked most comfortable and willing after the trial month."
Mrs. Parker's following words never reached me. I was immediately lost in thought. Despite my ignorance, Sarah said she is willing to have sex. Not only is she willing, but she is comfortable with the idea. As I processed this, my heart raced. Whether from fear or excitement, I could not tell.
"Eh-hem," Mrs. Parker coughed. "Mrs. Farron, Sarah's Do nots:..."
Once again, my mind drifted off to wild possibilities before me. Once Mrs. Parker finished reading, she lowered the file and looked at me. It took me a minute to realize she had finished.
"Anything else I can help you with?" She asked with a tone of wanting to wrap things up.
"No, thank you," I replied as I stood up.
Mrs. Parker extended a hand to shake and said, "Keep yo the good work. It is impressive. I admire your work ethic."
