Chapter 03: Susan Keeps Kang Happy and Keeps Mark Happy
Mark didn't know what Franklin and I were doing at lunches every Friday. He did know we went to lunch and flirted but that is about it. What Mark did like was our Friday nights. After a little while I noticed I would start getting horny Thursday night in anticipation of Friday's lunch. Then afterwards, I was still horny because I didn't always get off even though Franklin did. I think I enjoyed doing something naughty but didn't seem to feel bad because it was helping my husband so much.
Friday nights I would keep my sexy cloths on and go out dancing, drinking, or whatever Mark wanted. Then Friday nights were filled with great sex. Mark began asking if I liked looking so hot for all the other guys at the office on Fridays.
"Yeah, I guess," was my initial reply, trying to see where he was going.
"I can't believe how hot you are on Fridays. During the day I can't stop thinking about you in your hot outfits around all those guys."
"Does it make you mad? I can stop if you want me to."
"No. I'm surprised. I'm starting to get really turned on by it. And by the evening you and I are like two magnets that just crash together in great sex."
"So you are saying you like me dressing up on Fridays?"
"Yeah, I think it is so hot having you flirt with the guys. It even makes me a little more confident when I come to make a sales call. It's kind of like they know you are mine and they want what I have."
That was a relief to me. I didn't have to confess anything yet. Who knows. Maybe Mark would get turned on if he knew I was doing a little more than flirting. I just didn't feel comfortable yet bringing that up.

A couple months into the software installation, I had some meetings and then went directly into Franklin's office without knocking. That was not abnormal since I am his assistant and usually know what is happening. However, this time I didn't realize he had three of his employees in his office. They must have come when I was in my meetings. I caught them in the middle of a conversation where the general tone was how bad Mark's company is implementing the software. They saw me and tried to act nice.
"Don't mind me guys." I started. "Mark may be my husband, but we have a job to do and I work for this company not his."
That fuelled a 30 minute gripe session.
Kang was graduate student from China and was the wiz of the group. He was short, small, sharp and spoke a million words per minute. Alex was about my age and was your typical work hard all week, "lets go to happy hour and blow all our money on beer and golf" on the weekends type guy. Very cute and I think was always picking up girls. Marcus was a little older. I would guess in his late 30s and a large black guy who played linebacker for a small college to pay for his IT education.
That night I told Mark what all the concerns were. I tried to help him but he didn't quite know what to do. He told me he would work on it and try to keep the project on track, even if it meant more flirting.
Two weeks later, the project was getting worse. Franklin and I were walking back from a meeting through the IT area. He must have thought no one would see him but he grabbed my ass and said quietly, "On Friday this ass is mine."
Kang had just turned down the corridor of cubical behind us. He saw and heard everything. The little fucker is so short you can't see him in the cubical maze.
He didn't say anything and I was hoping he didn't hear anything. I was hoping he was thinking that Franklin was giving me some sexual harassment. He didn't know that Franklin and I were having an affair.
The next day, Franklin called me into his office. I walked in and Kang was there too. Now, before I tell you about the meeting you have to understand a couple things. First, I'm married to a wonderful guy, Mark. He's a good guy. We love each other and have a good life. Second, I have been having a fling with Franklin that is just a fun thing. I really like it and gives me a release from the stress of things. I don't love him and he doesn't love me. It is just a temporary sex thing. Third, Kang is a nice guy but not my type. He's highly analytical with a personality of a techno wiz. But, Kang is one of the guys directly working with my husband's company on an installation that is not going so well.
After a minute of pre-meeting pleasantries, Franklin started, "Susan, Kang has something to say."
"Susan, I talked with Franklin about what happened yesterday."
"What happened?" I asked hoping for only a little detail.
"You and Franklin were returning to the office when he grabbed you and was talking raunchy to you. You didn't seem to mind but I know you are married to Mark. So I asked Franklin what's up."
I began to panic a little but tried to control myself. I'm sure my face was turning red though.
He continued, "Franklin told me that you two are seeing each other and having a lot of fun on Fridays."
That little shit! I was so mad at Franklin. How could he tell that to Kang?
"He told me you two started because you wanted us to like working with Mark's company."
Wow. I guess he was right. I had started just flirting to keep the contract but now Franklin and I were just having fun. I thought.
Franklin, seeing my anger and bewilderment, started "Now Susan, don't get mad. Nothing is going to happen unless you want it to."
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"Nothing has to change. I would love to keep up our fun but with what Kang knows, I thought you may want to split and work somewhere else."
"Are you asking me to leave?"
"Absolutely not. I would love you to keep working here and ...Well you know. I just thought I would let you go if you wanted to."
"Kang, can you keep your mouth shut?" I asked.
Franklin spoke up before Kang could start, "Now that's why I called this meeting. It seems Kang is not happy with Mark's company and is threatening to go to HR with all this."
"So what do you think we should do?" I asked.
"Kang promised me that he would stop griping about Mark's company and would not go to HR if you would go out with him for an evening."
I turned to Kang, "is that all? If I go out for an evening with you, then you will keep quiet and help the project go through?"
Kang replied, "Yes. But you have to dress and act like my girlfriend."
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"I will get the outfit I want and after you get it, then we can go out. Does that sound agreeable?"
I agreed.

Within an hour I got an e-mail from Kang asking for my sizes in everything. A week later, I started getting packages in the mail. Kang had ordered stuff on the internet. First was a pair of shoes. They were cute but high. Four inch black and white zebra stripped pumps. I got a pair of tight fishnet nylons. Then the dress arrived. It is a one piece dress, white top and black skirt. The skirt looked very short and the top looked very low. Fortunately there was at least back to it. He even sent black necklace that plunged to my cleavage and matching earrings.
Kang and I planned on our date for the following Saturday night. During the week, I had to tell Mark at least something.
"Honey," I started. "I need to touch base with you about Kang at work."
"Sure, what's up?"
"Well, you know how you were going to lose the account with Franklin but you said it was OK for me to flirt with him in order to get him to favor your proposal?"
"Yeah, Why? Does he not like us now?
"No. No. It's not that. You know I still flirt with him to keep him happy don't you."
"I was guessing so. You seemed to enjoy it though."
"Yeah, well. I do. I do it for you and I love you. You know that don't you?"
Mark was getting a nervous look. "Yeah. I know you do. Is there something I should know about?"
"That's not what I'm trying to say," I said to dodge that hot potato, at least for now. "What I'm trying to say is, Kang is really frustrated with your operations team. And I think Kang kind of likes me too."
Typical man, Mark jumped in and said, "So you are asking if you can flirt with Kang? If that keeps the project going. Hell yeah. I knew those guys like lusting after you. Fuck. I thought you were going to tell me that you were banging Franklin or something."
I just smiled and said, "Yeah. Kang and I were talking. He was obviously frustrated. I offered to go out with him and he wants to go out on Saturday night. He knows you are my husband but." I paused.
"But what?"
