Prologue: Megan and Claire (who is married and going through a rough time in her relationship) were caught making out by Megan's boss who also happens to be Claire's father.
Three months had passed since Megan had seen Claire. Not a single day went by when she didn't think about Claire and what had happened between them. Her boss did not give her much grief for what he saw that day, he simply wanted his daughter to be happy.
When he found out about his son in law consistently cheating on his daughter, he urged Claire to file for a divorce as they had already tried counselling but there were no improvements in their relationship whatsoever.
After the divorce got finalized Claire decided to travel and put the past behind her. Megan on the other hand was left with more questions than answers. She wanted to know how Claire felt about what happened between them but Claire didn't want to deal with the things that had happened that day. She asked Megan to give her some time to sort her life out and figure a few things out on her own.
It was a dark cloudy day and Megan reached work feeling already tired and lazy, she sat at her desk going through her files taking twice as much time it would usually take her. Her assistant called her up to inform regarding a meeting being held in the next 1 hour. Megan was in no mood to attend but she were informed that major announcements will made during the meeting, making it compulsory for all managers to attend. She gathered her files, checked her e-mail and went through her phone to see if she had any important texts and finally got up and left for the meeting.
All managers were gathering in the conference room, every department head was present and they all seem to be gossiping about something. Megan turned to Mr. Winslow who was the head of billing and asked him what was going on and what the sudden meeting was all about.
"I heard a new CFO has been appointed. All our departments are going to be under the new guy, I hope it's not some smartass from Harvard or Yale, I hate those ego maniacs."
At that moment Megan realized the position was previously occupied by Claire's ex-husband, it was obvious why he might have gotten fired.
Mr. Winslow continued, "I heard Ed was having an affair with his secretary, some cliché huh? His wife found out and kicked his cheating ass out the house. Good for her, woman don't need men like him, even more so when they are hot like her."
Megan felt angry at his remark about Claire being hot. She didn't like the idea of other people fantasizing about Claire. On the other had she was confused why she felt that way, she and Claire only had one encounter and they barely got to talk after. She had no clue why her feelings were getting so strong towards Claire, why she felt the need to be with Claire.
Megan was so lost in thought that she did not realize that her boss had already started the meeting. She cleared her head and tried to focus on what was being discussed.
"I want to thank you all for making time to attend this meeting, I have an important and good news to share with all of you, as you all know that our CFO Mr. Ed Hooper has left the organization and the reasons for the same are known to you all, but putting all that in the past we will move forward and in order to do that we need a new CFO."
All the employees were looking at Mr. Theodor as he explained the reason for the meeting. He paused for a moment, smiled and continued to speak,
"I am more than pleased to introduce our new CFO" he pauses again and points at the door which was right across him, "my daughter, Claire."
Megan could not believe what she was hearing, her heart suddenly started to beat faster, she was not sure if should turn around and look. It had been three months since she had seen Claire, but her face remained fresh in Megan's memory. Everyone started applauding as Claire entered the room, she walked to the podium where her father stood and hugged him. Megan was still not sure what to do, she started staring at her files, afraid to lift her head up and see Claire.
"Claire is more than qualified for the job and has worked with us in the past as most of you are aware of. She needed a break but now she is back to take over her responsibilities." Continued Mr. Theodor.
"Thank you father for the kind words. I hope that all of you would enjoy working with me and hopefully I would get to learn a lot from your experiences too." Claire spoke softly but confidently.
Hearing Claire's voice Megan could not stop herself from lifting her head and looking right at Claire. To her surprise Claire was looking right back at her, she looked lovely, her cheeks had a rosy blush on them, and she had this contagious naughty smile on her face that made Megan smile too. They both stared into each other eyes disregarding the people around them, lost in their own little world.
Mr. Theodor started speaking again, "Claire will be taking care of many departments which include accounts, logistics, IT, finance and strategy. I expect all the department heads to work closely with Claire and get her up to date with the current activities."
Claire diverted her attention to the rest of the employees and said, "My assistant will be in touch with all of you regarding a one on one sessions with each department head." She looked at Megan with that devilish smile and said, "I will begin with the strategy department, I hope that's ok Megan?"
At that point Megan was dumbfounded and could only nod her head in response to the question directed at her.
The meeting was dismissed and Claire was greeted by all the employees, she shook everyone's hand and finally turned towards Megan. The smile on her face was driving Megan crazy, she wanted to kiss those lips, those red luscious lips, teasing her. She didn't realize she was staring at Claire's lips until Claire intentionally licked them slowly with her tongue. Megan looked at Claire with surprise, she had to control the urge to grab Megan and kiss her hard instead she just shook Claire's hand and looked away.
Once everyone left the meeting room Claire asked her assistant to arrange the first meeting with Megan. She wanted to sort out their situation but wasn't sure how. After meeting Megan her life had turned upside down, more than her marriage falling apart she had thought about Megan on her trip abroad. Her brain and heart struggled to figure out why she felt so attracted to Megan, was it just sex? But if it was that, then she wouldn't have missed Megan the way she did in the last three months. Up until she met Megan there was no doubt in her mind that she was straight but now she wasn't sure anymore.
