Brad Keller was new at the job he was now in, but he's only been there a week and his staff was shit scared of him, what he might do, what he was going to do, who was going to get it in the neck. Who was going to be moved, sideways, up, or down, who was going to get the bullet.
He was a big man, 6ft 3" very well built, and had an intimidating presence, a shock of dark brown hair, and below it a very handsome face. At 38 years he was a trouble shooter of the highest calibre.
The previous area manager had been sacked without notice, Brad Keller had walked in and told him, he also told him to clear his desk of his personal items, and leave right there and then. Then he had called the staff to a meeting at 1pm precisely, where they were told that they would do things his way, there would be no other way, and they were told if they went against him, they would lose. That those that were there right now, were told if they didn't like it.
"Then there is the door, clear your desks and go, immediately!"
None left, but in the week various people were suddenly not there anymore, new people arrived to take their places. Those still there were called in one by one where an explanation, of sorts, was given. They were interviewed basically for their own jobs and they knew it. They were told what their new job was to be, and how he wanted it doing, and again, "If you don't like it, there's the door."
Over the first month, half of the staff disappeared, and were replaced where necessary by new people. Dan Morris had been in fear for his job, it was the best one he could have got, he knew he was good at what he did, and he had become the 'go to man' for the last six months.
He knew the reason why all this had happened, what he didn't know was why it had taken so long for it to happen. The previous boss had been a very affable man, and that had been his problem, he was too nice. The satellite arm where Dan worked had got some of the best contracts going over the last four years, but it had all slid with the new guy.
The board of directors 2000 miles away in another country had been slow in acting as far as Dan was concerned, but now they had he too was worried. Being the kind of man brought up in his fathers way of working for a living, he respected who he worked for and respected what he did, he was a very highly trained young man, a photographic memory aided his learning, and he had majored with honours. His chosen profession was what he was doing now. He worked for the largest Design Engineering conglomerates in the world, and was hopefully on his way up.
He was the youngest of any engineers anywhere, his skill had been bedded by his father's insistence in spending a year learning how site engineering worked. It had been invaluable because it gave him and insight to what he actually did. He knew he hadn't contributed to his offices demise, but it didn't help to be mired in it.
He had his interview and thought he did okay, but he too was told there were no grace and favour policy in operation, in other words, he could go if he didn't like it. He went home that night to his new wife, his wonderful bride, she was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
Juliette, his wife was a fiery redhead, gorgeous in every way, every way that was, apart from her famed temper. Dan had been on the end of it sometimes, and he had come away bruised and defeated, not physically, but mentally. Juliette was only 5ft tall, but a colossus in terms of standing her ground, fighting her corner, or anyone else's if she thought it was needed.
He loved her with all he had, there was nothing he wouldn't do for her. She gave him hell sometimes, she would verbally beat him, and rage over nothing, but after, when she had calmed, she acted as if nothing had happened. He would take it all knowing that moment would arrive, her sexiness completely overwhelmed him, and she would fuck him silly. She would make love to him as if it was the final moments of their lives.
The fact that she was so small, in no way detracted her from her defence of the underdog, no matter whom it might be. She would defend an outcast if she thought they were being unfairly treated, she would stand resolutely four square with them no matter what people said.
Her delightfully high cheekbones would redden in controlled anger, and sometimes uncontrolled anger, depending on the situation in front of her. Her full heart shaped lips, which were a magnet to men looking at her would quiver and tremble. It gave her an innocent air that many immediately sympathised with. Her flashing green eyes could kill at a glance, and entice just as easily.
Her glossy copper red hair was a lush sea of managed tresses, it hung over her wonderful firm high breasts, and dropped between her slim shoulder blades in a shaggy beautiful mess. Her slim waist supported her terrifically, slender hips on tiny legs that seemed to go on forever, and her walk gave her a presence not many women had.
Juliette was 23 years old, Dan was 25, and how he had won, wooed, and got her to marry him was still an enigma to him even now. She was uncontrollable sometimes, Dan had kept her informed of events at work, and she worried for him. She also knew he was their brightest rising star, even they didn't know it yet. He would come home all hot and bothered, he could leave and get another job, but working for this firm was all he had ever wanted, and he had geared his future around them.
Then the situation worsened, three months into Brad Keller's tenure, someone in the office had made a catastrophic mistake, they had hidden it, but it came to light obviously. Then if things couldn't get worse, they did! The guilty party offloaded it onto Dan, he was called in to Mr Keller's office to explain his insane decisions.
Dan did, but he got tarnished with the same brush, and he was told he was under tight scrutiny, one more blemish and his career would be over, not only with the firm, but the industry. He protested his treatment, but the die was cast. He went home and told his Juliette, she was incandescent with rage.
"How dare he, is he a complete idiot, what the hell is the matter with him. Dan, he has to know you are the best employee they have. I am going to see him myself tomorrow, tell him I'll be there!"
Her husband was aghast, "Juliette you can't do that, I'll get fired for sure, and if that didn't happen I would have to leave anyway, the embarrassment would be too great. Please Juliette don't?"
She actually saw the logic in that argument, but just as quickly she decided she would go and see this fucking Mr Keller after the staff had left for the night.
The whole of the next day Dan was on edge, he knew Juliette well enough to know that she might just do what she had threatened to do. The day passed and he couldn't get out of the office fast enough. As he was leaving his phone beeped, he looked at i9t, it was Juliette, "Oh no," he gasped to himself, "please Juliette don't tell me you are here to see him?"
"Hi Juliette, I've just left, are you alright?" he asked.
"Yes Dan, why, shouldn't I be?"
"I was just wondering why you were calling, I'm just on my way home," he said.
"Yes I assumed so, I have to go to my mothers, she's sprained her ankle or something, I'll be home in an hour or so okay? I have left your dinner in the over for you. I'll see you later, I love you," she said. Dan was more than relieved, "Yes okay Juliette, I love you too, see you later," and he close his phone with a sigh of relief. He didn't see her watching him from across the road waiting for him to get into his car and drive off.
As soon as he did, Juliette squared her shoulders and marched into the building. She pressed the button for the correct floor, and was soon striding into the main office, she espied Mr 'Big head' Keller's office and was pushing the door open in quick style. He looked up and saw her walk in.
"I think you maybe in the wrong office Miss er?" he said.
"Mrs Morris," she corrected him, "I'm Dan's wife, I need to talk to you Mr Keller about the way you are handling my husband, he doesn't know I'm here. So let's cut to the chase, you are wrong about him. He is the best man you have and he hasn't put a foot wrong since he's been in this employment!"
Brad Keller grinned at her forthright attitude, he didn't like it, but he appreciated it. He leaned back in his chair and appraised her, she was absolutely gorgeous. He noticed the red spots of anger, or worry, on her cheek bones which more that flattered her beautiful face.
"I see, and what would you have me do Mrs Morris?"
"You can treat him properly, you beast!" Juliette was losing her temper, something she was trying not to do, and had been determined not to do either. He just took her in, Juliette was wearing a girls school type blouse, it was patterned in small red and white checks, short sleeved, a pleated flared skirt that finished at the knee, white long socks, and buckled shoes. Her hair was done in pig tails at either side of her head.
Brad Keller couldn't stop his cock from lurching in his pants. If she hadn't told him she was the wife of one of his employees, he would have taken her for a school girl, or college student.
"He is innocent of any wrong doing that you have accuse him of," she continued her diatribe, "don't you know that!" she was shouting now.
He wasn't quite used to being confronted in this manner, so he decided the best defence was to attack. He looked at her stood there quivering with anger, she was upset he could see that. He could also see her nipples protruding through her tight blouse, she looked as sexy as all hell.
"I'll have cash on the fact that her pussy is boiling away right now?" he smiled to himself.
"Can I ask you your name please Mrs Morris?" he asked.
