The sequel to "A Gift from my Father"
On the surface
John Smith Inc.
looked like any other "white collar" firm. It occupied all the floors of a small low rise in the suburban office park of Mountain View CA. Professional dress codes were maintained, and no one would guess what they really did. If anyone were to ask they were told personnel and property management. What almost no one was prepared for how all that was about to dramatically change.
It was true, that was essentially what they did, although it didn't barely cover all the pies John Smith had his fingers in. Since the beginning,
John Smith
made a commitment to his agents to take care of them during their transition period. That usually included housing in some cases, electronic equipment, (cellphones, computers, printers, etc.), often transportation, (including automobiles, air and train transportation), but most importantly, human resources issues and taxes.
John Smith & Associates now had almost 500 agents. If you included the support staff, JSA employed over 650 people and needed many more. In addition to managing the homeless shelters and skate parks, they had their hands in so many other business and ambitions to take on more, the small staff was no longer capable of dealing with the day to day business.
It was also important to stay out of the crosshairs of local government, law enforcement and the IRS. Not that they were doing anything illegal, although they did bend the rules just a little.
Considering the firm's main purpose was to support the activities of John Smith and that of his agents, and the new master and mistresses of the rings, until they were ready to break off on their own.
Normal office culture would be bent if not completely broken.
It made more sense now to incorporate, which was long overdue. If they were to grow and expand, that meant hiring almost a hundred new employees. These employees would be accounting people, clerks, IT specialist, secretaries, HR specialist and security personnel, to name the most obvious, including experienced corporate officers and capable managers. The first thing was a change of leadership at the top.

Stepping out of the elevator and into the new offices only recently inhabited the new CEO, strolled across the marble floor, her designer heels clicking loudly as she past the large receptionist desk. Three young pretty receptionists busily answering phones, typing into their computers, pausing for only a moment to admire the tall thin redhead as she passed, on this third day of tenure.
Tammy Bowen
entered her office and before she could hang up her coat, her secretary brought in her a cup of coffee and handed her a tablet while he slipped quickly into her chair, turned on her computers and organized the few items on her desk. He was very efficient and within thirty seconds was out of her way as she scrolled through the screens on the tablet, then sitting in the plush white leather executive chair. Tammy had found him a few years ago and couldn't be without him.
As he knelt before her, she opened her legs, hanging one over the arm of the chair while the other rested on her secretary's shoulder. He used long tongue strokes, kissing her and licking around the diamond stud attached to her labia which seemed to glow with its own light. He found delightful to touch with his tongue but knew not to bother it too much. It didn't take long for her to have a delightful and efficient climax. Just as smoothly he used a towel to pat her dry and then used in on himself. Standing he asked,
"Will you be having cock this morning?"
Already firm, tenting his trousers, he was gifted in that department, too.
"Is this data the most current,"
she asked as eyed the tablet, clicking back and forth between the many pages.
"Yes, of course,"
almost insulted by the question. He stood not as tall as she, due to her six-inch heels.
"What time am I addressing the department heads?"
She asked pivoting towards her computer looking at her calendar seeing the event just as he replied.
"Ten AM, Ms. Bowen."
"Damn it."
She said, as she fondled him through his pants, he was hardening nicely. She really wanted to be fucked this morning.
"I'm afraid that I am going to have to postpone that,"
she frowned, squeezing him harder, he moaned softly. Releasing him she knew there would always be time for that. The new report changes her time table, she will need to rewrite her presentation and she only had an hour.
He was disappointed. He was more than simply her secretary, she always made him feel special. His former boss and CEO, taken him for granted.
Tammy, Ms. Bowen, did not. She seemed to know what it was like to have to please an executive, and not simply by sharing sex. Although he seemed to be a gay man, he was truly bisexual, particularly when it came to Tammy.
Sitting herself down, Tammy began to altered her PowerPoint presentation. She made a few key changes here and there, as a result of the new data she'd received.
Seated in the large plush conference room were all the department heads, eight in all. This being John Smith Inc., it was a diverse group of five women and four men. Tammy had met all of them separately, at the beginning of the week, this was her first department head meeting. She had worked hard on her presentation. Hating long boring meetings, she planned on sandwiching the more mundane with the more exciting as she outlined her plan for the John Smith Incorporated. However, the numbers she reviewed threw a monkey wrench into her plans, she'd need to work faster.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I had a formal presentation planned."
She pointed to the cover slide of her presentation but shut it down. "
As many of you know John Smith and I go all the way back to the beginning, and he's giving me carte blanch to make any changes I deem necessary. The truth of the matter is that we are growing, you all are aware of that, and growth is a good thing. But we're not keeping up! What is the problem? Can't we find people who want to work?"
She looked at the human relations director, Estella Cruz and waited for an answer. Estella was unaccustomed to being put on the spot like that but was very prepared. She explained that they were in the process of interviewing several candidates, in fact they were bringing on a new hire today and moving forward with another.
"This process is too slow, no offense to you Estella. But we need to bring almost a hundred new people before the end of the year just to keep up with the support of our current agents in the field and Mr. Smith is expanding his field agent corps rapidly. I don't want us to be the bottleneck."
She had their undivided attention. As she hoped everyone was staring at her, her eyes met everyone of theirs, and then her eyes glowed orange for about two seconds. She watched everyone else, as each one responded as their eyes glowed orange for a second and then a smile crept across each face. She had them. No one realized what had happened, but they were all eager to follow the lead of their new CEO.
"Things must change, people. If we work hard, the rewards will be great."
She asked if there were any questions. No one had any, they all applauded enthusiastically as Tammy smiled and left, the meeting was over. They all knew what they had to do.
~~~
All departments had meeting with their group leaders, it was stressed that team work was essential and would be rewarded. Each department head had the undivided attention of their managers, when their eyes flashed orange, seconds later the flash was returned.
