Gareth walked into the office the next day with a smile on his face. Jacob was moving around his office, a single cardboard box sitting on the table. There was also another person with him, someone he didn't expect to see so soon. Janie. Gareth put on his neutral look before walking toward the door and knocking,
"Hi Jacob, sorry I haven't been in lately. I haven't been feeling well but I'm here for my last day."
Jacob looked up; he moved as if he hadn't slept in days; his eyes were bloodshot and his hair was a mess. Gareth looked toward Janie, her eyes squinted at him as if she was trying to recall something and then she brought her attention back to Jacob.
"Hi Gareth, uh no problem. This is Janie Ryan, she is one of the board members from the company that bought us out."
She moved toward Gareth and gestured her hand toward his for a handshake. Gareth placed his hand in hers to accept, he noticed the slight glint in her eye and the way she lingered a little longer than was professionally necessary. The day before Gareth made sure she wouldn't remember anything that happened between them but if she did see him again her attitude toward him would be positive nonetheless.
"Hi Janie, pleased to meet you. I am, was the lead developer on the app here. This is my last week here." Gareth made sure to keep the illusion of his termination up, Jacob wasn't under his control and Gareth didn't want him to suspect any foul play.
"Oh yes, about that, I have changed my position on that decision. You will be reinstated as the lead developer of the app and be given full control over all creative decisions regarding the app. I believe all the work you have done is perfect and wish for it to continue. I will be taking over Jacobs position here and will be overseeing all of the other mundane tasks so you can focus on what's important."
Gareth put on his best surprised face.
"I don't know what to say, that's amazing! I'm glad you appreciate my work." Gareth spared a quick look over at Jacob, there was a slight scowl on his face.
"What about you Jacob, if Janie is coming here then where are you going?"
Before Jacob could response Janie interjected.
"Jacob wishes to move on from the company, he has grand ambitions to further his career in a different field. Isn't that right Jacob."
Jacob grunted in resignation.
"Yeah..sure..have fun with the company Gareth, Maybe I'll see you around." He packed what appeared to be the last item into his box. It was a picture of his daughter, her innocent face lined with a beaming smile. Gareth couldn't help but think back to how she looked when his cock was balls deep in her arse and how she screamed as she came around him.
Jacob walked past him, knocking his shoulder as he went.
"Well I suppose this office can be yours now, I'm sure you don't want to stay out there with all the others. I'll get out of your way now, we can have a meeting to catch up on your progress later in the month." Janie didn't wait for his response before leaving the room. Gareth considered stopping her for some more playtime but couldn't help but notice she had a slight limp in her walk; her arse was probably still recovering from his previous fucking. He decided to let her rest, after all they could always have fun in their next meeting.
When Gareth first set out to create his app he didn't expect to use it for professional gain. He planned on staying in the background and letting Jacob be the front man. He couldn't deny the rush of adrenaline he felt now that he didn't have to report to that arsehole anymore.
Gareth spent the next week tweaking his code to streamline how the control algorithm worked. Now that his initial experiments had been such a success and though his user base was quite numerous, he needed to find a way to extend the participants beyond the regular mobile app gamers. Like Jacob he could imagine there being many users that didn't even bother trying the game. He'd been keeping an eye on Rachel; his first red user. By now she had reached the gold classification, he hypothesised that this level meant he could essentially tell her to do anything now, even if it was completely ridiculous or even dangerous. Gareth had no intention of putting her in any danger but he did have another plan.
He added an automatic suggestion to the algorithm specifically for gold users. He created a special part of the app, it looked like a demo of the game running with all the features being demonstrated; behind the scenes it was a very concentrated version of the algorithm designed to quickly hook a user who watched it through its entirety, they wouldn't jump straight to a red but it would least get them into the green level. A gold user would show this screen to a non-user whenever it was appropriate and this would hopefully prevent another Jacob situation.
It would take some time before she could spread the word but now that he was essentially the boss, he had all the time in the world. Thinking of Rachel gave him the desire to visit her again. He also remembered her room-mate, she was a lower level red that Rachel had an interest in playing around with. Maybe it was time to make that fantasy become a reality.
He checked on the room-mate. Her name was Lily Anderson, she was twenty-eight and now sat comfortably as a Level six. Let the games begin.
He made his way over to their apartment that afternoon. He'd already confirmed that they were both home and in their respective rooms. He knew there was a shared kitchen/dining area that had a comfortable four-seater for watching TV in. He'd already instructed Rachel to leave the door unlocked for him and for both of them to ignore his actual presence. Anything he did to either of them would be considered normal and not unexpected. After entering their home, he sat himself on one of the spare chairs in the room.
Go to the living room and turn on the TV.
He sent the message to Rachel first. She came out wearing only a singlet top and panties, it seemed she was already prepped for bed time. She plonked down on the large four-seater and turned on the TV, it was the news, nothing exciting but hopefully that was about to change. He sent the next message to Lily.
Come out to the living room and join Rachel. You will be comfortable around her and have no problems discussing any topic with her.
Lily showed up not long after his message. She was wearing a punk/goth outfit and looked as if she was about to go out to a club; she had highlights of pink, blue, and purple in her hair which extended half-way down her back. She was wearing heavy makeup with eye-liner and shadow accentuating her alluring eyes. She proceeded to sit next to her. He sent the next message to Rachel
