Part 2
10. Getting the Big Day Started
Nicki Lawrence pulled into the office car park in bright Summer sunshine, a little later than she'd planned. Today was a big day after all and she'd wanted to make sure that she was well-prepared, and looking good!
As she switched off the power to her bright, silver Mercedes saloon, she swivelled the mirror to look back at herself. Nicki smiled, 'Well, thirty six years old now but I DO look good,' she thought, '...even if I say so myself!'
Her long, shiny black hair was tied back with a silver clasp into a reserved pony that ran right down to well below her shoulder blades. She'd left a couple of loose strands at the front to dangle enticingly though. She loved her hair and had experimented with a few different styles this morning before settling for the unfussy, modest look. Impressions in her line of work as a Financial Fund Manager were important, and this simple style also showed off her elegant neck perfectly!
She paused for a moment before opening the car door, and swinging her lithe legs out. She took in a deep breath as she stood beside her big, executive car because, despite her years in the Financial Services industry, her seniority in her current firm and her natural self-confidence, she was a little nervous. She had a quarterly review session this morning with a bunch of clients who'd invested in her 'Special' fund and recently, and all hadn't exactly gone to plan! And there was also the spectre of the damned 'Penalty Clause' hanging over her too!
As she reached the wide steps leading up to the glass fronted, modern building she looked back at her silver 'Merc' as a quick gust of warm wind caressed her face. 'Yes - you've done okay on this account so far Nicki my girl, 'she thought in satisfaction, ' - just got to get over this little bump on the road!' It was time for her Special Fund Sixth Quarterly Investor Review Meeting!
Breezing into the building, she swiped her pass onto one of the entrance gates and exchanged pleasantries with her favourite security guard, Bill.
"Lovely day today Miss Lawrence," the big, middle aged man in the light grey uniform said.
She smiled back, enjoying the way that his eyes admired her trim figure in the navy blue jacket and matching blue pencil skirt that clung smoothly around her shapely bum. Her crisp white blouse, sheer white stockings and four inch blue pumps were just the right contrast!
"And may I say that you're looking very nice in that new suit," he said, before adding in a stage whisper and big grin, "...positively ravishing!"
She knew that she looked good, but it was always nice to get the compliment and to flirt a little with Bill.
"And almost as ravishing as you, you big hulk!" she whispered back before laughing gaily and heading for the bank of lifts in the open plan atrium.
Bill watched her shapely bum wiggle, probably deliberately, as she walked away.
"God, but I could give her one!" said a voice behind him. He turned to see that his boss, Ben Carver had appeared from the Security Office room behind their chromed counter. He smile and nodded. He wouldn't have been so course, but he couldn't help agreeing with the younger man!
----------------------------------------------------------
On the second floor, she walked down a bright corridor to an open plan office section that she shared with four other Fund managers. Being the senior one, she had the big desk by the window, overlooking the tree lined car park.
"Good Morning Miss Lawrence," called out the young secretary behind her own, smaller desk nearer the corridor.
"Oh Hi Sharma," she smiled at the petite Asian girl in the bright lemon dress, "....and less of the 'Miss Lawrence' if you please...you know that you can call me 'Nicki' in here.......!"
"Any sign of my clients yet!?" she added.
"Well, yes Miss....err Nicki," the young woman responded with a wide smile, "There are already half a dozen in the conference room.... you must be popular today!......I've left them to get their own coffees.... they seem to be a bit errrr....frisky!"
Nicki frowned. She should have expected a big turn out today at her Quarterly Review. They could do the maths and could probably predict her outcomes.
But, "'Frisky' whatever do you mean?" she asked in surprise.
Sharma couldn't meet her gaze. Her deep brown eyes looking away as she spoke, "Well, errr.....I had my bottom patted quite a few times and a couple of them seemed to stumble near me and had to grasp my bosom to steady themselves. It was rather.......disconcerting!"
Nicki's lips pursed. Sharmi wasn't very wordly-wise, but she had a delectable, small, rounded figure and beautiful shiny black hair. The lemon dress was quite modest in length but neatly tailored to her curves and her tanned, light brown legs looked sturdy and strong. Just what was likely to appeal to her client list!
"Oh, we'll see about that!" she snapped back.
Much to Sharmi's horror Nicki looked as though she was going to storm off into battle!
"No, no Miss Lawrence, please don't..... it was harmless....and....and ah well, I actually quite liked it!" she admitted in a worried tone, as though the revelation had just hit her, hard!
Nicki looked at her in surprise.
"Look, that sort of client behaviour is totally unacceptable...........if you want to make a complaint, I'll support you," she continued, brightening up as she saw a potential way out of her current dilemma. Maybe if she could get security involved her impending client review would have to be cancelled!
She lifted the desk phone, but Sharmi's hand clamped itself desperately over hers.
"No, no.........we can't....... " she gasped in horror at the thought before turning her eyes away, ".....and......I may have flirted with them a bit!"
Nicki could see her opportunity slipping away, but she wasn't going to force the secretary into an impossible position.
"Mmmm well, okay Sharmi, " she said finally as she replaced the phone, "...... but I will be having a strong word with them when I get in there!"
She checked her watch, still half an hour before she was due to give her presentation, and she needed to time to finalise her prep. She'd had a bright idea coming in that might just get her off the hook of the dreaded 'penalty clause'. Well, it could at least buy her time!
She sat down at her desk, opened up her laptop and got busy.
It took only ten minutes to make the appropriate amendments though and after that she leaned back on her comfy leather chair and stared out over the sun drenched car park. Given what was about to happen, it was impossible not to think back to her first meeting with James and the other clients. She sighed inwardly 'God, I must have been such a fool!' she thought.
11. Making that Big Mistake
It had been her slightly inebriated infatuation with James that had got her involved she knew, and every step that she took into the arrangement just got her deeper into a situation that she couldn't get out of. Well, she could have done she thought wryly, but she wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of seeing her back down, especially after she'd been brazenly telling them all how good she was!
And then there was that ridiculous proposal to 'Shake Sex' on the deal!
She'd already shaken hands with half a dozen potential investors when James had come up with idea.
"Why don't we do something more, err intimate than a handshake to seal each deal? Come over there with me Nicki and I'll show you what I mean" he'd said.
Perplexed, she'd allowed him to take her by the hand and followed him to a corner of the room where a big plant on a table shielded the entrance to a side door. Behind it no-one could see what they were doing. She was still looking doubtful, and then her eyes had widened in surprise as his hands went to his trousers and pulled down the zipper.
"What ARE you doing?!" she'd gasped, wondering if he was planning on having sex there and then. Well, maybe that's what she'd been hoping for she thought later, but preferably in her bed!
