There I am, 53 years old and single again. Fuck, what a waste of the last ten years.
Oh, life has treated me well in some ways. Successful in business, just not in relationships. Two failed marriage, no kids, thank god. But once again, I come home to find the wife in bed with someone else. The pool boy, such a stereotype.
Oh well, this bitch had signed a prenup so she was tossed out with next to nothing from me. Now single again, I can focus on business and see what that can bring me in the next 5 years. Then I can cash out before I am 60 and take it easy.
The business? I am in marketing. I have a small agency that has carved out a niche dealing with companies that want to introduce themselves into new markets in my part of the world. In fact that is how I met the second wife. She came into the office on a referral, having invented a product that was supposed to appeal to 20 something females. We did okay by her, got her sales up to half a million units a year and she sold out for a nice profit. So the bitch will not have to worry about money from me.
Bitter? Am I bitter? Probably a little bit, but seeing your wife riding the pool boys cock does that to you. But the good side of this is I got to fire the pool boy the same time I tossed her out on her ass. Turns out he was billing me for products that he was using on other clients pools and once they found out about all of the things happening, he was fired from them as well. Good riddance to both.
All this happened on a Thursday afternoon. I came home early and found them. By the following Monday, she was gone and I was back at work, the white ring around my finger showing off my new status as a single male. My secretary Madeline, asked about it and I told her the story.
Maddy, a name she hates, has been with me for 20 years. I gave her a job when she was completely unqualified and we both knew it. I hired her as eye candy, something to distract potential clients as they came into the office. She had few skills other than her looks but she is bright and wanted to be thought of as more than just a good looking girl.
She married to a nice guy shortly after I hired her at 23 and had twins, two daughters who just turned 18. Even when pregnant, she was attractive. Never complained and never stopped flirting with clients. With me, she was professional and I never tried anything with her. I always had other females around in my life to satisfy my needs and I needed her for what she brought to my business. Truth be told, I was fairly conservative with women, and never thought much about her as anything other than an asset to my business.
I met her husband at the usual company functions, Christmas parties and such. He seemed rather bland and never said much. She had her daughters in the office about 5 years ago when they were 13 or 14 and they were typical teen aged girls. All texting and iPods and giggles. Attractive enough, they looked a lot like their mother.
For most of her time with me, she has been reliable, steady and a great employee. Lately though, she has been distracted. Her work has been sloppy and more and more errors have been showing up. Worse, her appearance has become sloppy as well. She used to come into work and look amazing. Well put together, and well dressed, in business suits that showed off her figure and a hint of slut in the way she projected herself. Men would flirt with her and she would tease them on and then let them down gently. Now she has been wearing less makeup, and the clothes are not as stylish as before.
I have put up with this for some time but the final straw was when a client showed up for an appointment and I was not in the office. The client called me on my mobile to complain and after saving the client through some serious ass kissing, I called the office to find out what happened
Maddy told me that she simply forgot to schedule the appointment into my agenda. No excuses, no apologies from her, just the silly cow forget to schedule the appointment. I told her that we would discuss it when I got back the office.
I was pissed!! The client was a high value client and a royal pain in the ass. I would have to deal with this for months to come and was not happy. Maddy had fucked up and she was going to have to explain herself.
A couple of hours later, Maddy was in my office. She went to sit down, as she usually does when we are having discussions. I made her stand instead; she had to know that she was in trouble. I lit into her, telling her she had disgraced herself. She just stood there and took it, nothing back, no excuses, nothing! I listed off the changes I had seen in her over the last few months and asked what the problem was. Still the silly bitch stood there saying nothing.
