Chloe stretched as she awoke, pushing the covers down off of her warm, nightdress covered body. It really wasn't a nightdress! It was actually a very large man's tee-shirt that seemed like she had forever. Old and worn, little frayed around the neck and sleeves, but she loved it! It was comfortable and kind of made her feel secure. She didn't even remember where it came from; maybe it had belonged to one of her brothers or even her father, probably not a High School boy friend! She doesn't remember either of them being that big?
She slowly lowered herself out of the raised king-size bed and kind of dropped onto the softly carpeted floor, this being one of the small aggravations to Chloe. Why the hell had Jeff, her husband, wanted to raise the bed, she would never understand. At only 5'-3" it was almost like she needed a stool to get into it and him at 5'-9", it wouldn't make sense that it was suited to him either! Well, deep down she really kind of knew, Jeff was kind of an insecure man, and the raised bed probably heightened his feelings of security.
She assumed that Jeff had already left for work at his accounting job, as his pajamas where laying in front of his Wardrobe and the door to the master bath was open and she didn't see him. She was very agitated that he hadn't woke her to say goodbye or wish her luck, knowing that she had to go out of town on business for 3 or 4 days!
Chloe stretched and peeled off her nightshirt, putting on a sports bra, a pair of black Lycra yoga pants, socks, and running shoes. She grabbed a towel and proceeded into their workout room to run on the tread mill for 30 minutes like she did every morning, followed by 20 minutes of stretching, and yoga that loosened her up!
Chloe and Jeff lived in a new, very big house that had everything anyone could ever wish for in a house. The house didn't come from Chloe's salary although it could have, and most certainly not Jeff's. The house had been one of their wedding gifts from her father. Her father was the CEO of a large software company and she had always been his 'little girl', although she was their only daughter, there was no doubt that dad always had a special place for his 'little princes'!
Chloe finished her routine and then jumped in the shower! She loved her morning showers after her workouts. The hot water running over her body seemed to have both a physical and mental soothing affect on her, kind of a way of wash off the sweat from her run and to relax before taking on the stress of the day.
She washed her hair then continued on soaping up her body using a scented body wash that she loved the smell of. Like everything else in her life, there was a routine to this, of course starting at the top and working her way down!
As she soaped her breast, she couldn't help but be amazed at how firm they were. Jeff always was bugging her about getting implants, but she adamantly refused too! She thought they were perfect the way they were, being a B cup, but very proportional to her body style and size. They were very firm, with slightly upward pointing nipples that probably protruded out ¼" or more when she was excited. Her areolas were very pinkish and quite puffy when not aroused, but became very dark and extended when excited.
However her most stunning body feature, apart from her 'Girl Next Door' beauty, was her ass and legs and Chloe knew it. She had even hired a trainer to develop a program of exercises to help maintain and enhance their looks, and had been doing it since before collage! Twice a week she would do a routine of weighted squats, leg lifts, and calve raises as an in-home program, then once a month visit her trainer at the gym for advice and improvements to her routine.
After finishing her shower, she dried and styled her somewhat short, auburn colored hair. Tactfully applied make-up, that enhanced her beauty but that was still very respectable and business like. She then proceeded into the small apartment she called a walk-in closet.
Chloe loved clothes and fashion, and her closet did nothing but scream that fact. Everything was in order, and there were appropriate spaces for everything. From the huge selection she chose a black pencil skirt, a white ruffled blouse, a black matching business jacket, white bra, sheer neutral colored pantyhose, and classic Louboutin black heels.
After dressing, she ran down stairs, grabbed all of her bags from their office area! She had packed the night before, which for Chloe's style was a major endeavor, and then rushed out the door, getting into her, daddy bought, Mercedes for the trip to the office. Along the way she stopped at her local coffee shop. Got her coffee and then onto office to be briefed by her assistant, do some quick phone calls, before having to leave for the airport and her10;00 flight.
Chloe was on her way in the company to becoming its first female Executive Vice President, a fact known by everyone in the company, just hadn't been formally announced! Chloe was very proud of what she had done, and how far she had come within the company in the short time she had been with them since graduating college. She knew that her father probably had a huge part in her getting the job, but she knew that she had risen through her skills, work ethic, and business savvy that her father had taught and instilled upon her!
Chloe had been assigned to go out of town on business to handle meetings and problems with projects that were going on in the same city for two new stores. One was a mall outlet and the other was a new build-out that was having some cost overrun issues.
The flight had only lasted a little over an hour, after which she picked up her rental car at the airport, and drove to the hotel to check in and drop her bags off. Her main meeting schedules weren't until tomorrow morning, but she wanted to stop at the Architect's office as a 'meet and greet' before their meetings tomorrow and she also wanted to stop by one of their Clothing Stores, to meet the manager that would be overseeing the two new stores when up and running!
The meeting at the Architect went well, an older man that briefed her on some possible cost overruns with the new build. At the store, Chloe had gone in and kind of browsed before introducing herself to the employees she had never met! She wanted to form her own opinion on how the store was laid out and selection of clothing before possibly being influenced by their opinion. She also wanted to see how the employees acted and reacted with customers, with them not knowing how she was.
One of the girls came up to her as she was browsing the skirt rack, and asked if she could be of assistance? Chloe said that "she was just browsing to see their selection", when the girl noticed Chloe's Louboutin shoes, she said, "Nice shoes, be nice if I could afford something like that"!
"Is your manager in? If it's not too much trouble, I would like to speak to her!" Chloe retorted after what was said.
"Are you mad that I liked you shoes?" the girl relied.
"Not at all mad you liked my shoes; let's just speak with the manager!" Chloe replied.
The girl led Chloe to the counter where the manager was standing. "Sue, this lady would like to speak to you! I may have offended her by saying I liked her shoes!" She said smiling.
As Chloe gave the girl a cold stare, she reached her hand across the counter, "Sue my name is Chloe and I am ----!"
"My god ---Chloe---! Jen sent me an email that you may be stopping by, but I would have never thought --- guessed --- ah, Ann, this is Chloe!" She said turning towards the sales girl, "Chloe is the new Executive Vice President of the company!" with an expression of "I hope you didn't fuck up"!
"Maybe we could have a little conversation over at the Skirt Rack!" Chloe said to them!
As the two walked in stunned silence, totally disbelieving that anyone so young or attractive could be anyone's vice president, Chloe said to them, once reaching the rack, "Ann I am not made at you, just upset, so don't go thinking you're fired---! Everyone thinks I am a cold, heartless, bitch ---! Not true --, I do my job and I do it well, otherwise I probably wouldn't be where I am today! Now, why don't you tell Sue what you said to me after you asked if I needed assistance?"
"Ah ---, I said I liked your shoes!"
"Then what?" Chloe asked. "No wait, let me tell you what you said!" she continued, you said; "Nice shoes, be nice if I could afford something like that! Now ---, I can't tell you in how many ways that's wrong! First it's not an issue with your liking the shoes, everyone loves Louboutin! We love them because of the style, who they are made by, and because they make us look good. Men could care less about who made them, all they care about is that they are heels and that it makes our asses and legs look sexy!"
"The issue is the 'be nice if I could afford them' part! Not that you can't afford them, but when you say it that way to a customer, you're kind of implying that you're mocking them because they have the money to be able to afford them! The second thing that it implies is that maybe the store isn't paying you enough! So from now on, I want you to think about what's going to make the customer happy so you can sell them something and what's going to make the store look good! OK, we got a deal?"
"Sorry ma'am ---! You're totally right ---, I should think before I say something! I am really so sorry --, and yeah, we have a deal!"
"OK then ---, just don't call me Ma'am again though! Just Chloe, let's just keep it Chloe! She got both Sue and Ann's numbers and arranged to take Sue to dinner that night and Ann the following night!
Chloe went to dinner with Sue that night and they discussed Ann and the possibility of making her an assistant manager of one of the new stores. Chloe, although a little upset with Ann for what she had said, had this underlying feeling that she had potential to rise within the company ranks. The meeting the following day didn't go well for the new build project, though!
The new build project was on schedule but there was an issue with cost overruns with the mechanical contractor. The mechanical contractor was claiming that some of the work being required wasn't what had been set forth at the bid process! At the meeting the mechanical contractor and the architect got into a heated discussion on the issue with Chloe stepping in and kind of taking the architects side of there should be no extras warranted, but really not understand the scope of the issue.
Her involvement had really irritated Dewayne the mechanical contractor and he had sternly told her that she should stay out of things she didn't know about and that her time may be better spent selling clothes or something she actually knew about! This really pissed Chloe off; "How dare this brute say something like that to me!" She thought to herself, then telling the architect; "There will be no extras granted before I have had a chance to fully access the issue!" She said while at the same time giving Dewayne a mad evil stare!
Chloe had contacted Ann and they had met for dinner that evening! She had talked to Ann at dinner letting her know that she understood her mistake about the shoe thing and that she had seen potential in her and that she would be in consideration for the AM of one of the new stores. They had a long discussion on company policies and her need to learn to resolve issues and interact with customers, Chloe even relating the story off her issues and the meeting she had earlier.
After dinner they had gone next door to a little dance club that Ann suggested and where sitting at a small table having drinks and just some girl talking! Chloe had noticed Ann keep looking towards the bar when Ann finally said; "I have to tell you something! I don't think I have ever been around anyone that garnered as much attention as you do! All night long guys from the restaurant and here have just been continually staring at you! But now, there is this big, very handsome, black man that just keeps staring at you from the bar!"
Chloe turned to see who she was talking about, when her jaw dropped; "Oh my god ---, that's the guy from the job! The guy that wants the extra money! Oh please don't let him come over here and make a scene!" She whispered to Ann as she turned back around, putting her hand up to her face, like she was trying to hide!
"Too late ---, here he comes! God girl, he's cute and it looks like he's bearing drinks too!" Ann laughed.
"Well --- well --- well, look who we got here! Miss fancy girl!" Dewayne said as he approached the table. "Out with another very attractive young lady I see!" He said smiling at Ann as he sat their drinks on the table.
