There were little similarities between the two women entering the room.
Tamara, the first to enter walked with the confidence of a mature woman although she was only in her late twenties. Her attire was professional, and restrained. She dressed for the position she wanted not for what she had. She had a distinct Mediterranean complexion, dark brown, almost black hair, and brown eyes. Her black pants, and costume hid her buxom figure with little success.
The second woman, Sonia looked girlish next to Tamara even though she was only a couple of years younger than her. Her short pencil skirt and white blouse emphasised her youth. She was tall and moved with the unsure elegance of a deer. Her hair had the colour of wild honey, her green eyes were wide with anticipation as she looked around in the manager's office.
They both were in the office the first time.
Despite their difference on the outside the two women harboured very similar feelings as they stood in front of Ms Margot Argent's desk. They did not know why they were summoned here, but had heard the rumours circulating around the building. Ms Argent had a reputation as a stern, ruthless leader. One who tolerated no mistakes and demanded perfection from her colleagues.
There were other rumours too which further fuelled the two women's anxiety.
"Please sit, ladies." Ms Argent told them.
There were two free chairs in the room, one in front of Ms Argent's desk the other is close to the wall. Tamara reacted a split second faster and took the chair in front of the desk, forcing Sonia to sit on the side. She immediately regretted her decision as Ms Argent fixed her eyes on her.
Ms Argent was an athletic, middle aged woman. She radiated confidence, charisma and strength. Her short dark hair emphasised her sharp facial features, her eyes were hazelnut brown and surprisingly warm when she wanted them.
This time however she wanted them to be cold, sharp, and piercing. Tamara received the treatment up and close. She tried her best not to shudder.
A brief second later Ms Argent's eyes turned warm as she smiled at the two women.
"Thank you for joining me. I understand that you received my invitation on short notice. I hope this meeting won't interfere with your work."
Tamara and Sonia had received their invitation email a mere half an hour earlier, and the meeting threw their work schedule off. They both smiled at Ms Argent and did not say anything. They knew better.
"Project Langs-M. What do you know about it?" Ms Argent swivelled her chair and now faced Sonia. The young woman raked her brain.
"Well, it's... I believe this is the first time I hear about it."
Ms Argent raised her eyebrows. She turned back to Tamara without a word. Tamara shook her head when she realised that Ms Argent was waiting for her answer.
"Never heard of it Ms Argent."
Ms Argent stood up and walked to the window. Her office was on the third floor with a view to the river. She looked outside turning her back to the other women. She had a shapely figure and her pants showed the curve of her behind. Tamara caught herself checking out her boss's ass. She quickly tore away her gaze and looked over at Sonia to check if she saw caught what she had done.
She did not. She was too busy staring at Ms Argent backside too.
"I am happy to hear that. Langs-M is a brainchild of mine, and as such is very confidential. It involves some of my personal... ideas."
She suddenly turned around. Sonia's face went red as she failed to look away in time. Ms Argent smiled a warm smile at her.
"I am going to need someone who works with me on the project. The person will be my right hand man; or in this case my right hand woman. That person can be one of you. If you are interested."
"This sound very exciting." Tamara said quickly. "I have plenty of hands on experience in project development, I am willing to go the extra mile and I am not afraid of any challenges."
"Very good Tamara. I knew you would be eager to grasp the opportunity. I am also pleased that you find the new task exciting and you are up to any challenge. Your hands on experience would be very useful. Sonia do you have anything to add?"
Sonia shot a quick look at Tamara.
"I studied this subject in college, and have a solid foundation when it comes to project work. I am also happy to try new approaches and experiment."
"Excellent! A bright young individual eager to experiment with new ideas. I am sure you did that a lot in college!"
A shadow of a smirk appeared on Ms Argent's face, then disappeared. The two women pretended they hadn't seen it. Ms Argent moved around her desk and rested her buttocks on it. She crossed her legs, her pants slid up, showing her ankle.
Her shapely feet dangled in front of Tamara's face only an arm's length away. She needed all her willpower not to stare at the other woman's foot. She looked away, and saw that Sonia had an equally hard time to avoid looking at Ms Argent's feet.
The director, saw their embarrassment and was satisfied. They were exactly where she wanted them to be. It was time to drop the bomb.
"You ladies might wonder why I have chosen you as candidates. You are after all very different. You come from different background, you have different education, you have different mentality. But you ladies have something in common."
She stopped.
The two women sat motionless. Sonia looked at Tamara. She never talked to that woman but knew that she was very popular among the male populace of the company. She saw her as a younger self, effortlessly climbing the corporate ladder, tackling any tasks with ease and all the while teasing her co-workers with her beauty. She now realised she felt envy towards the young woman.
Sonia felt the same about Tamara but for other reasons. She often found herself staring at the older women's chest when she walked through the floor. She was envy of her, envy of her stature, her bosom, her career.
They were surprised hearing that they - after all - had something in common.
"I am confident you are the right candidates for project Langs-M because..." Ms Argent licked her lips. "Just looking at you makes my pussy dripping wet."
Sonia felt the blood rushing to her cheeks, and heard Tamara drawing a sharp breath. Did they hear that right, was Ms Argent talking about her wet pussy? The director went on.
"You see project Langs-M is a twelve month long vetting process. At the end the successful candidate will receive a promotion, raise, company share, etc., the whole package. Everything others have to work work decades. You will report directly to me. Our meetings will be private one to ones or... if I see it necessary threesomes similar to this one."
"I don't understand." Tamara stammered. Sonia watched intently from the side.
Ms Argent leaned forward and held Tamara's chin in her hand. She looked her in the eye. Sonia gasped at the indiscretion.
