"He is worth over £6,000,000 to this firm and I need you to deliver his quarterly review of his investments," The matronly Caroline Hayes-Bowles, the chief executive of Invescro, leaned back against her desk. Lynne Lysoto, the junior on the account looked sheepish,
"I'm only the junior on the account, there are three seniors on it, why me?" Lynne asked in a light midlands accent. She had been at the firm just over two years and was spotted by the partners as a real asset. She had an excellent grasp of financial management, superb accounting skills and a real stunner in her well-cut business suit. Of course, the latter assets were strictly off-limits as the smooth operators in the firm soon found out. Her dark flawless skin, fine high cheekbones with full lips from her Ghanian heritage, and her slender gym-bunny figure, pert breasts and tight arse made quite the impression, but she was all business in the firm in London.
Caroline did not let the moment slip away and re-doubled her efforts to enlist Lynne's aid, as she found her most lucrative client might be moving his business elsewhere,
"If you impress this client, you'll make partner in less than three years. I know you're good, I've noticed you and you're good. You're good at what you do, and I want you to succeed here but I need to know that your loyalty is to this firm." Her tone was firm but friendly,
"Of course, I can assure you that I am loyal to you, and this firm," Lynne began and then stopped, " What is it that you want me to do?" Lynne frowned,
"I need you to deliver the quarterly report to Mr Kincaid, in his hotel conference suite tomorrow," Carol shrugged, trying to appear casual, "but in a particular manner," Lynne frowned,
"Manner? What manner are you referring to?" Lynne shifted slightly; her high heels were pinching a little after a long day in the office.
"He insists on the report to be delivered in lingerie, sometimes topless!" Carol flushed red as the words left her lips,
"What?" Lynne stammered, "Did you say topless? Are you joking?" Lynne was usually never stuck for a witty retort or sardonic reply. The look on Carol's face told her that she was not joking at all!
"Partnership in two years, guaranteed!" Carol offered.
"No way!" Lynne turned round and made for the door.
Friday 2:00 pm Hilton Hotel.
"I don't believe I agreed to this!" Lynne muttered under her breath. She knocked on the ebony black doors and then entered the conference room. She stepped through and then closed the door behind her. The room was a run-of-the-mill conference room with glazing all down one side of the room. The long ebony conference table was empty, except for a tall silver headed man at its head.
"Do come in Miss Lysoto, I leave for Turks and Caicos in three hours so I would appreciate some haste on your part," Mr Patrick Kincaid, a hotelier millionaire, and her client for the afternoon. Lynne dressed in a black wrap-around dress, and smart jacket and her hair gathered to a tight bun,
"Of course, "Lynne placed her antique leather briefcase on the table, found the leather portfolio file walked down the length of the table and stood waiting for the client, before speaking.
"I have a full printed report for your perusal Mr Kincaid, but I have a precis of the investments for the last quarter," She smiled and opened the portfolio,
"Are you aware of the special conditions for this investment report, Miss Lysoto?" Kincaid asked, scrutinizing her as he sat back on the black expensive leather recliner, his left eyebrow raised,
"Oh, I didn't think that would be necessary," Lynne looked back at the man. He is about 50, his silver mane was well presented. His suit was very expensive, as was the watch, tie and silk shirt.
"Oh, I must insist, you see I requested you personally," Kincaid smiled thinly,
"You did? Why may I ask?" Lynne asked, but before he answered, he lifted his finger and flicked it, indicating that Lynen should remove her dress, she looked for a moment and then undid the ties on the dress and unwrapped it, allowing it to come open.
"You are the very image of my late wife, Miss Lysoto. A carbon copy if you will and as soon as I saw you at the firm, I insisted that you deliver the report, I imagine Miss Carol was quite pleased that she could delegate this task," He looked her up and down and smiled, "The very image. Please continue with the report, but place the dress on the table,"
Lynne looked at Kincaid, he was tall, quite muscular and handsome, but he was hardly Lynne's typical guy. She disrobed and placed the dress on the table revealing her black lace see-through bra, matching black lacy panties and a laced suspender belt holding up lace fringed black stockings,
"I assume this is appropriate attire for the report?" Lynne looked at him and saw his eyes widen in appreciation of her beauty, "may I continue with the briefing?"
"Please go ahead," He smiled. As Lynne outlined the performance of the investments, he stood up and walked around Lynne, listening to her but looking closely at her supple skin, highlighted in the subtle lighting of the room. Kincaid scrutinized her form. She was simply stunning, her breasts were a perfect 32b, high and pert, and the bra was completely unnecessary.
"Is everything alright?" Lynne stopped, as she turned the page of her three-page precis,
"Do you always wear a bra? I would consider the item unnecessary with your figure," He enquired lightly, as he looked down at her tight-toned shoulders,
"For work, of course," Lynne replied tartly, "but I have been blessed with my mother's figure," She remarked.
"Just like my late wife's, she was the loveliest example of womanhood, in the world and I loved her every day until she was taken from me," His voice trailed off,
Feeling suddenly sorry for him, Lynne looked over her shoulder, "How was she taken from you?"
"Drunk driver. She was returning from her shift at the Casualty department and that was it!" The bitterness was heavy in his voice, but he walked around her again examining her shoulder and then the lightness of a butterfly, he touched the top of her bra strap, "Please continue with the breakdown of the off-shore investments please,"
Lynne was shaken from her momentary distraction and then focussed on the report, outlining the growth of the investments, Lynne was operating as an automaton with the financial report but he mind was racing. She had made the completely erroneous assumption that Kincaid was afoul smelling pervy old man who would slobber on her as he tried to make her undress, but Kincaid was an enigma. He was rich, handsome, charming, and most of all lonely; he missed his wife and she reminded him of her. She felt for him, a sense of pity but then simultaneously she felt a sense of attraction to him. Lynne had made sure that her business life was just that, business. She didn't want office politics to be an issue. She was ambitious and she wanted the rewards of her hard work. Lynne had been in three sexual relationships and all of them had ended badly, as she would not compromise on her work. Now she stood, a drop-dead gorgeous millionaire was listening to her financial report and examining her near-naked body, something that should have her running for the door but now, rather disturbingly, was beginning to feel a tingle of electricity running down her spine and most alarmingly in her pussy. As she turned the second page, she felt his warm breath on her neck as she looked closely at her toned shoulders.
