Hi Everyone,
Sorry for taking so long with this chapter. I know it's frustrating, but I appreciate your patience.
This chapter starts immediately after the end of chapter 4, so it might be helpful to read that.
This is an interracial cheating wife story. If either or both of those things are an issue for you, you should probably read no further.
Special thank you to Todger for editing this chapter (and all my stories)!
I welcome your comments and feedback (and hopefully high votes).
Hope you enjoy!

Upon seeing Mr. Jackson, her new boss, at the door, Stacy momentarily panicked. "Mr. Jackson, I, I uh, I can explain. We, I, we were..."
Mr. Jackson stepped into the apartment and folded his arms across his chest. His Black frame somehow seeming larger to Stacy in Darrell's apartment than in the office. He cocked his head back slightly and said, "Can you now? Well, go ahead. Explain. I'm all ears."
Stacy opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. What plausible explanation could she offer? She was standing in her co-worker's apartment with only her blouse on, with two buttons holding it together, and they were both supposed to be teleworking. How was she going to explain anything?
Mr. Jackson's smile and soft chuckle brought Stacy's stammering attempt at an excuse to a halt. He held up a finger to silence her, which actually gave her a reprieve from trying to find words, and then he spoke in a soft, almost comforting voice, "Hush now, Stacy. I must say, this is an unusual discovery to make on company time."
His eyes scanned Stacy's barely clothed body as he said, "I had heard reports about you using company time for other things on your recent trip, but I wasn't sure if they were true. You and I hadn't had any, uh, experience working together before."
Stacy was now questioning whether this was a random visit. She couldn't help but believe he knew what was going on. But she could not read his intentions. Him showing up like this implied he was going to put an end to things which might mean firing her and Darrell. But his tone of voice and roaming eyes seemed to say he was not going to do any such thing and might actually want to be part of the fun.
Just then, Darrell stepped into the room. He was wearing shorts and t-shirt. Had Stacy not been there, his clothing would have given no hint of anything sexual going on. He walked over and bumped fists with Mr. Jackson and then said, "See, I wasn't shitting you."
Mr. Jackson turned his head to face Darrell and said simply, "No, you were not."
Stacy could not believe her ears. It was Darrell that had shared stories about her? She assumed, if anyone, it was Dray. Was it both of them? Bizarrely, rather than be upset, it excited her to think of the men discussing her skills.
Stacy felt the redness in her face return as the men spoke about her like this, particularly with her standing right there.
Darrell held her phone out to her and said, "Call Roadhead. Tell him you're going to be late."
Mr. Jackson chuckled at the nickname but didn't ask for any explanation. Even that had been discussed. He gave Stacy an expectant stare.
Reaching for the phone, the 'new' Stacy took over. Her hands were shaking from excitement. She held a finger to her lips to make sure the men stayed silent and then she employed the naughty phone skills she had learned at Dray's place. She put the phone on speaker and waited for Tim to answer. After he did, Stacy said in a bit of a pouty voice, "Sorry, honey, I'm going to be late. My new boss called a meeting."
"On a Friday afternoon at the end of the day?"
Mr. Jackson smiled and nodded as he looked at Darrell.
Stacy could tell another element of her 'story' was being validated with that look. She felt emboldened. "I know, honey. But what can I do? I need to get to know him and make a good impression."
Tim replied, "I know. I guess you are right. The timing just sucks."
She continued with Tim, "Things are different now. I have to be flexible as I get to know my new boss."
Tim let out a heavy sigh as he bought her argument, "Yea, you are right. I hope you won't be too late."
"We'll see. I only know there's a meeting. I don't know how long. I may text you later. I have to go now though. Bye, Tim."
"Bye, Stacy."
Stacy clicked the end call button then put a hand on her hip and cocked her head as if to say, "Well?"
Mr. Jackson nodded appreciatively, then said, "You good at talking to the white boi, but I'm not one of them. So, what else you got?"
Stacy smiled at her new boss. Rather being mortified about him catching her at Darrell's or his attitude, she welcomed it. And who was she to argue anyway after she called her naΓ―ve husband for their collective entertainment.
