Chapter 22 Business Turns to Pleasure
My position at work was such that I didn't really interact much with clients. I ran the back operations, while more public-facing "engineers" (usually under the project managers) handled the clients. But, from time-to-time, I had to meet clients when a technical issue needed to be explained. It was in a situation like this that I met Jake and Ashley Samuelson, a rich philanthropist couple building a new music hall.
She was absolutely stunning, in just the way that my ex-wife was. We met for lunch at a fancy restaurant to discuss acoustic issues my engineers had run into with the architectural plan for the project. As soon as I sat down, they seemed titillated and captivated by me. As I explained the issues, they both seemed to hang on my every word. He was a bit older, maybe in his fifties. A thin prim and very stylish, maybe even foppish man. He wore a tight gray pin-striped suit, with large silk colorful, mostly purple, ascot.
I don't know what it was about him, but something told me that he would be a good cuckold candidate. Her manner and tone suggested that she was in control, and he was submissive to her. It was certainly not my job to recruit; and it seemed hare-brained for me to look at a woman like Mrs. Samuelson and think she would make a great slut for my fiancΓ©, but that was my first inclination.
I tried to lay on the charm as much as I could. I brought up my fiancΓ©, and spoke intimately with Ashley about him. I asked casually how they'd met, how long they were together. He would join in from time to time, but seemed to content to just stare at me with a bemused look on his face.
I finished explaining the engineering problem and the upshot was there would have to be a redesign of the backstage area of their new project. I reassured them that it would not add to their building costs and that I had already discussed it with the architects. There would be a brief delay while the architects worked out the redesign, but I soothed their rich egos and made them feel smart with their suggested solutions.
Then--I was way more forward than my old male self could have been; I asked them to dinner at our place the following Friday. They couldn't have accepted more quickly. They would be delighted to come and to meet my fiancΓ©. As soon as I got out of the lunch, I texted Daddy to call me as soon as he could. He called me when I had gotten back to the office.
"Hi Daddy, how is your day going?"
"Hi Sissy, what's going on?"
"Well, I just had a very interesting lunch with a client. And, I think you are going to like this. Are you by a computer?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Google Ashley Samuelson."
"Ok?"
"She is my client. What do you think? Isn't she hot?"
"Yes, sissy, she is very hot."
"I think her husband is a potential cuck. I invited them for dinner the next week. What do you think?"
"Interesting! We'll have to talk later; I have a patient. We'll talk at home." He sounded distant and distracted. I chocked it up to being busy.
When I got home, he had done more research than I had. He was even more sure than I was of my premise. He had looked up their net worth; the causes they supported and bios of both. He was heir to a lesser railroad fortune. This was his second marriage, his first wife divorced him for an indiscretion that was never really explained but there were whispers it may have had to do with another man rather than a woman.
This second wife was not a trophy, though she might look like it. She had been running most of Jake's companies and foundations as the CFO of the organization before they were married three years before. He was nominally the CEO, but everyone knew she had all the real power.
Daddy had already secured Vera to make the dinner and plan the menu. He was beaming at me as soon as I came in the door. "Michelle, I am really proud of you for taking the initiative on this and for being so straightforward about it. I know it's not every fiancΓ©e that finds new sluts for her future husband."
"Thank you, Daddy. It's the least I can do after... you know who. I can't be jealous and keep you under lock and key even as my master."
"That's very good, sissy. You know, I have lived my whole life just on the very edge of New York high society. They're all a bunch of hypocrites, but this would be a really big coup for our little network. I am going to give you a big treat for this, Sissy."
He seemed very happy about this whole thing, but with him, I had learned to take "big treat" with large scoops of salt. These days it could be a real treat... or some scheme he hatched to humiliate me further. "Yes, Daddy, what is it?"
"Well, it's been weeks since we watched an episode of our favorite reality TV show,
The X-Wife Files."
"See?! I knew I would be sorry."
"Let's order in and get comfy in the media room."
"Sure, you feel like Thai?"
