Mr. Black escorted her to the elevator. He shook her hand and held its soft warmth uncomfortably long. "I hope you are successful. I look forward to more opportunities for you to show me what you can do." She smiled and turned into the elevator and the doors closed.
Fucking Toad! Total Woman Academy had ingrained in her the philosophy of NEVER fishing in the company pond. Even without those values, this pathetic looser named Black wasn't getting closer than arm's reach of her body.
Nadia entered the lobby of the factory and was escorted to the factory manager's office. Mr. Locke greeted her and now regretted his decision to slough off this meeting to his head of production. "I'm sorry but I must attend a corporate regional meeting. We are expanding and shuffling management personnel. It's just as well that you meet with Mr. Keyes who will soon be permanently assuming management of this facility and possibly the region. He is a brilliant Mechanical Engineer and has caught the CEO's notice with his attention to detail and quality control. But he is a very hard man to please." Nadia thought she recognized Jeffery Keyes name. Anyway, Nadia enjoyed a challenge. I know numerous ways to please a hard man she thought.
Mr. Keyes occupied an all glass office suspended over the manufacturing floor. It surveyed all areas of the manufacturing line. Below, Nadia saw numerous glass cubicles occupied not by men but by robotic arms welding and assembling complicated contraptions. A few white coated lab technicians monitored the many control panels outside of the cubicles.
Mr Keyes began the meeting roughly. "Your company has sold us damaged goods. Your software controlling the robotic arms is imprecise and can't meet the quality control standards of NASA specifications. You have had two chances to correct it and it still isn't working to spec. I am NOT sorry to say we are buying our software from someone else. Your software is costing us a lot of revenue."
Nadia flushed at his directness. The mood was tense. Nadia replied "I have reviewed the problem and I am pretty sure it is simply a matter of reloading a 64-bit interface to match your robots' accuracy. If you will give us just one more chance, I think I can firm up the situation to your satisfaction. I will give it my personal attention. "
Mr. Keyes looked disgusted and waved her away with the back of his hand. Dumb blonde thinks she can correct the problem with....wait a minute, THAT MIGHT WORK! Why hadn't he thought of that? Mr. Keyes stood up and ordered Nadia, "Follow me." They strode to the manufacturing floor and checked a few of the integrated control displays and talked about the procedure needed to replace the interfaces.
They returned to Mr. Keyes office. He asked her to call him Jeffery and Jeffery was in a more good-humored mood. The CEO had pestered him mercilessly about this problem which it appeared this pretty woman had solved. Nadia sat across his desk in the visitor chair and they discussed the next steps. Nadia leaned over and reached into her portfolio for the annual software maintenance contract and a business card. When she leaned up Jeffery's eyes flitted back to her face and he blushed. She slid the contract across the desk and Jeffery signed it with a flourish. As she retrieved the signed contract, she slid the business card across the desk. Jeffery idly picked it up and handed it back saying, "Nadia, this is one of MY old cards." Nadia smiled widely as she giggled "Yes, I was hoping it was."
Puzzled, Jeffery turned the card over and suddenly it felt like his chair, the office floor and his world had fallen out from under him. He stared at the TWA logo counter-stamped on the back. It was the card he had deposited years ago at some risquΓ© college event he had attended. He looked up. Nadia was near bursting trying not to laugh. "If you don't remember ME maybe you remember winning the bid for my bra. I think it looked a lot like this one." She spread her lapels showing all the cleavage she could and still claim to be dressed. Jeffrey was mesmerized. She stood to go. "I have a suite at the Hilton. Dinner is at eight o'clock on my balcony. Be on time. I hear you are a hard man to please and I accept the challenge. That auctioned bra you won may find its twin."
Nadia was in her hotel suite at eight o'clock dressed to the 'nines': heels, perfume, dress, makeup, all perfect. The door chimed. She opened it to a very handsome Jeffery. He carried flowers and an apology for being bad-mannered when the first met, or rather, unknowingly, the second time they met. She oohed and aahed as she took his gift. Nadia walked arm in arm with Jeffery to the candlelit balcony table where they spend a couple hours sharing their careers and dreams. Jeffery was frustrated by the corporate inertia holding him back at the company. Nadia wanted more from her career but from her social life as well.
Finally, Nadia stood, took Jeffery's hand, and said, "Let have our dessert inside." She led him to her spacious bedroom. Beauty and poise classes had taught Nadia that, although men postured that scents and candle light were for a woman's sensual awakening, the right combination of scents counter-balancing her perfume, worked on men as well. They undressed each other slowly. She giggled when he put her bra aside to carry home to its mate. Returning to the matter at hand, he rubbed her back as they kissed for the first time. They lay on the bed and Nadia used her hands, mouth, legs, toes, hair, everything to light Jeffery's fire. Her own cries of ecstasy joined his as his cock extinguished their flames when he hosed his essence into her cunt. Nadia was sure she could find more ways to please him. She wanted to be this hard man's companion during his bright prosperous journey through life.
Jeffery wondered how soon he could return to work. He would program his robots to fabricate one perfect set of engagement and wedding rings, and then delete the program. He had a new goal in his search for perfection: a perfect lifelong bond with Nadia: the perfect businesswoman and the perfect love mate.
