Geoff spent the next day in a drunken haze, but even drink could not keep his mind off of the woman who had plagued his thoughts for the past. On Sunday he had the most horrific hangover. Knowing that wallowing in his own drunken self pity for the rest of the day wouldn't do him any good he figured he could swing down to the country club and play a little tennis, that usually made him feel better.
At the club, Geoff met up with a client of his, who talked him into a game of golf. He wasn't particularly fond of the game but it wasn't prudent to say no to a client that had the financial pull of Mr. Thurston Messersmith the forth. Mr. Messersmith was the type of guy who took his game very seriously and Geoff not being that skilled in the game anyway, didn't need to try to hard to let the older man win. This seemed to please his competitor greatly. "Better luck next time my boy." Mr. Messersmith laughed heartily, feeling good that he had beaten this young upstart. "How about a drink," the older man offered feeling in a charitable mood. Geoff shrugged, why not? His day was already shot to hell.
Over drinks, as Mr. Messersmith got a bit more tipsy, he let slip the most amazing bit of information that blew Geoff's mind when he inquired how things were going with Mr. Messersmith's business. "You know, things just haven't been the same since I let go of my secretary go. She was the best piece of ass I ever had," he reflected. Geoff had been in the middle of taking a sip of Scottish and almost choked when that statement was made. He couldn't believe that Messersmith had it in him. Geoff studied his companion in amazement. He did seem to be in pretty good shape for a guy his age which looked to be in the early fifties. He had a bit of a Paul Newman quality about him, so he supposed that it was conceivable that the old man was still getting some.
"Don't look so surprised young man. You can only wish to get a piece like the one. I bet you couldn't even imagine a hot number like her. Sexiest black girl I ever saw. The girl couldn't get enough." The older man said with a smug expression on his face.
"What happened to her?" Geoff asked curiously not really caring, for all he knew the guy could have been making it all up. He couldn't believe that they were having this conversation in the first place.
"Wife found out about it. If my wife wasn't an heiress I would have damned the consequences. I had to let her go. I tried to set her up in my penthouse but she didn't want to, said I no longer had any authority over her any longer. She had a thing about that. That Yvette was a hot piece, and she liked it rough, that one." Messersmith smiled fondly as if remembering a childhood memory.
At the mention of this secretary's name Geoff sat became alert. "You said her name was Yvette? What did she look like?" he asked not realizing that his heart was beating erratically, and he was hold his breath.
