Finance - Audrey
When CFO Willis had hired Kimberly to run the finance department, she managed to bring in a few very talented, and very beautiful, women into the department. He knew she was hiring two additional women to support the latest contract but was out of town for the interview process. It was a Monday morning when he returned.
As he walked into the building from his car, he noticed a mature, well-dressed woman walk into the building ahead of him. She was about five foot six with blond highlights in front of her shoulder length brown hair. She looked to be in her mid forties and wore a light colored blouse and a full length skirt that, from behind, showed a narrow waist that flared out to full hips. Intrigued by this new woman, Willis walked faster and caught up to her just as she reached to open the door. She heard his footsteps and turned to hold the door for him. When they made eye contact again, he found she was very pretty in the face, with deep blue-grey eyes.
"Thank you," he said with a warm smile. She returned his smile a mumbled a reply. As she quickly turned away, Willis walked the other way to his office. The administrative assistant he shared with the rest of the executive team was waiting for him with a pile of work to get caught up on. He buried himself in getting caught up on the work and had forgotten about the women he met at the door.
Near the end of the day, Kimberly knocked on his door. He looked up to see Kimberly dressed in tight slacks that really showed her long legs and firm butt off to great advantage, and a light blue sweater that made every man in the building want to reach out and touch her. With her was the sophisticated women Willis had met at the doorway. As he ushered them into his office, he had a much better opportunity to check out the new woman. She was slightly fuller in figure than Kimberly's lean body, with that slight abdomen bulge that suggests a mature fertility. Her hips and legs were also fuller, but what was very noticeable now was that she had full breasts. They were obviously supported by a bra but had the freedom to move and sway as she walked into the room. Her hair hung just over her eyes giving her a shy and guarded sort of look.
Kimberly was all smiles as she said, "Willis, I want to introduce you to our newest employee, Audrey. Audrey, this is our CFO, Willis. He takes great care of us." This last was said with a twinkle in her eye that caused Willis flush a bit, remembering her moans of passion. But as he reached out to shake Audrey's hands, the both started to laugh.
"Actually Kimberly," Willis said. "We met earlier today." Shifting his attention to Audrey, he said "It's a pleasure to formally meet you, Audrey." He looked into her deep blue-grey eyes and felt a stirring connection to her, but as he looked at her hand, he also saw a wedding band.
"It's nice to meet you as well," she said with an engaging smile. The ladies sat down in his office and they chatted about her background and the job. She had grown up in the local area and married a local police officer. She had moved away with him when he became an ATF agent, but had returned when he was posted to the local office as supervisory agent. She had one son in high school. Willis noticed a forlorn look in her eyes as she talked about her family, and hoped there would not be any problems in her future.
Over the next few weeks, Willis found himself seeking her out. He had lunch with her the few times he saw her sitting alone in the dinning/break room. She was easy and interesting to talk to and they did share some interests in movies and music. He was cautious to not spend too much time with her as she was directly subordinate to him. Over time, he explained how he had married shortly after college and started with the company as the accountant when there were only twenty employees. The incredible growth of the company in the last three years had taken too many 12 plus hour days on his part and his wife had divorced him for a man that could provide her more attention as well as money.
Audrey reveled more of her background as well. She had married her husband right out of high school, and he immediately started to work towards becoming a police officer. She became pregnant right away with their first child. Her pregnancy was troubled and they eventually lost the child. With her husband working days and taking college classes at night, it was a severe strain on their new marriage. It was not until after Christmas together that things returned to a normal relationship. Her husband completed his criminal justice degree and got picked up by ATF as a federal agent.
Following his job, they moved to the mid-west. They settled in but he was off and running with the new job. They did have time together again and she got pregnant soon after. Trying to ensure this pregnancy went to term, she was very over-cautious about everything that she did. She was mostly alone as she worried her way through the second pregnancy while he worked at his new job. After the baby was born, she was not really a very good wife, she readily admitted.
"One needy baby in diapers does not make for any romantic dinners," she told him on one occasion. "Plus I was so focused on doing everything I could for him as a baby that I really was a very poor partner."
They moved again as her husband gained more responsibility, this time to the northeast. With the boy now a toddler and sleeping all night, she tried to relax and have a more normal relationship, but the weight that she had gained had destroyed the wonderful figure she had in high school. Her self- image of how fat she was made her feel unappealing and therefore not interested in sex. She presented herself for her husband's use but received very little pleasure from it. She was honest that much of the apathy in her marriage was her own fault. When they had the chance to move back to home, she was excited and resolved to change everything.
With her boy approaching high school, Audrey started spending time on improving herself. She started to lose the extra weight and went back to school to develop a useful business skill. After four years as Agent in Charge in the local office, her husband was promoted to Special Supervisory agent and traveled a lot overseeing major investigations. He was now in his early fifties and he was assigned a secretary named Barbra. Audrey had met Barbra and found out she was a divorced woman in her mid thirties. As much time as he spent away from home, Audrey was starting to suspect that her husband was having an affair with her. Willis now saw the reason for her sad eyes.
The very next Tuesday after she had told Willis this, he pulled into the parking lot. Each day he found himself looking for Audrey's car to see if he could walk her in or something. He was struggling to balance his growing desire for her with the requirements of being her supervisor and the awareness that she was apparently married. He saw her car in the corner of the parking lot, far away from where she would usually park. As he got closer, he saw that she was in the car, but her face was in her hands. He pulled up beside her and she looked up. She had been crying.
"Are you OK?" he asked after she rolled down the window. She shook her head no but did not say anything. Willis got out of his car and got into Audrey's car on the passenger side.
"What is it?" he asked, taking her hand. "What's wrong?" Between sobs, she told him the story.
Audrey's husband left on Saturday to go to New York to oversee an investigation and was supposed to be gone for a week. When her car broken down Monday on the way home, she had it towed to her house and wanted to call her husband to let him know. His cell phone was out of service repeatedly, so Audrey called his office to see if Barbra could get a message to him. When she called one of the agents answered. Audrey asked to speak to Barbra and the voice answered, "I'm sorry. Barbra is in New York and will not be back until Friday. Is there something I can help you with?" Audrey hung up the phone and collapsed into tears.
"I pulled myself together before Tyler came home," she said through her tears. "I didn't want him to know." She took a deep sobbing breath.
