Our lawyer told me it was all legal, what they did. My company denied my pre-surgical claim on my son's heart surgery, simply because they said it was too expensive. That was it. The insurance company said that the owner of my private company denied the claim, and Vance, my Human Resources director, confirmed it. Just like that, for no better reason, my son Kyle wasn't going to get the surgery that would save his life, because Jack, my company's owner, simply didn't want to pay for it.
My wife Carol was obviously as upset as I was. Vance seemed sympathetic, but he didn't seem like he was willing to fight for me. My immediate supervisor had just been promoted out of the department, and HIS boss just retired suddenly due to illness. So there was nobody between me, and the owner, Jack, to intervene or support me. Desperate and with nothing to lose, I asked Vance if I could go to Jack's admin and make an appointment to see Jack, whom I'd had only minimal contact with in the years that I'd worked for his company. Mostly small talk in hallways or company functions, rarely anything work related.
"You can talk to Jack," said Vance. "But from what I know about him, he doesn't give anything away unless there's something in it for him."
So this morning I had an appointment with Jack, and I went into his office, and groveled. Jack, a fairly short, slender, balding man in his early sixties perhaps, with short hair, listened to my groveling, how my son would certainly die without this surgery.
At the end of my speech, Jack said, "Your wife's name is Carol, isn't it?"
"Yes," I replied.
"I remember her. From the Christmas party. Tall, brunette."
"Yes," I said.
"Yes. She's very attractive."
"Uh, thank you."
"Yes, VERY pretty. And stacked. You're a lucky man."
I didn't know how to respond to that. I let it go. But clearly he'd been eyeing my wife at the Christmas party last year. That was almost eleven months ago, and he still remembers her. Now I remember, he danced with her last year, when I was in the bathroom, I came out and they were on the dance floor.
"Hmmm," said Jack, looking up in the air. "What's she doing now?"
"Well, she's working part time and has no insurance..."
"I mean what is she doing right this minute? Is she at home?"
"Uh, yes, she should be. The kids are in school and she's not working today."
"Call her up. Let's have lunch."
"Today?"
"Yes, you and me and Carol. Call her. Twelve-thirty, at Alexander's."
With that Jack dismissed me, and I went back to my desk and called Carol. Carol was home, anxiously waiting to hear how my meeting with Jack went.
"Honey, are you free now for lunch?"
"Um, yes, Neil, what's the matter? What happened?"
"Nothing. Jack the owner wants to have lunch with us. You and me."
"Me? Why me?"
"I don't know."
"Oh, Neil, I, uh, don't like Jack."
"Uh, why?"
"Well, last year at the Christmas party he, he, um, made a pass at me."
I paused. "I didn't know that. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I, uh, was embarrassed. And I didn't want you to get upset."
"What did he do?"
"Well, he asked me to dance while you were out of the room, and when we were dancing he said I was very beautiful, and he asked me to go up to his hotel room with him."
"Wow. What did you say?"
"I was shocked. I didn't know what to say. I guess I didn't say anything."
"So you left the dance floor and that was the end of it? Maybe you misunderstood him."
"Oh, no. Because he, then he, uh groped me."
I couldn't repeat the word "grope" out loud, afraid my co-workers would overhear my conversation. How? Whhh What? What did he do?"
"He touched my breast. While dancing, he reached in and grabbed my boob."
I took a moment to digest this. It was really unsettling. Then I got back to the subject of the surgery. "Well, I, uh, he just wants to have lunch with us. We need him to approve the surgery. It's for Kyle."
"Oh, I know. Okay."
"Meet us at Alexander's at twelve-thirty."
At twelve fifteen I met Jack outside his office, and he drove me in his Mercedes to the restaurant. Carol was waiting there for us, standing by the reception desk.
I can understand Jack's attraction to Carol. She's wholesome, but pretty, and despite having two kids still has a pretty nice figure for a woman of thirty-seven. She's five feet ten inches tall, with shoulder length brown hair, and curvy, with what I know is a bra size of 40D. Not cartoonish or disproportionately huge breasts, but on a woman as tall as Carol I knew that they were a double handful of natural breasts.
Carol was dressed casual, in jeans and a sweater. But the jeans were tight, and while the sweater wasn't super tight, it still accentuated her large breasts.
Jack said, "Hello, Carol, it's so good to see you again," and reached around her and hugged her, kissing her on the cheek, as Carol threw her head back.
Jack led us back to a booth with a "U"-shaped table, with padded benches on three sides. Carol slid into the booth, I slid in next to her, and Jack slid in on the opposite side as me, sitting next to Carol on her right. We ordered lunch, and then Jack started his monologue.
"I wanted to see if Carol was as pretty as I remember her from the last Christmas party. And I see that she's even prettier." He smiled at Carol when he said this, and put his left arm around her shoulder. I could see Carol cringe, but she didn't pull away, knowing what was on the line. "So you two want me to risk perhaps many many thousands of my dollars, and throw the whole company's insurance plan out of whack."
Our lunch came, and we began eating, with Jack removing his arm from Carol's shoulder. But he was sitting quite close to her, and while eating with his right hand, he let his left hand drop under the table. Carol suddenly looked alarmed. I couldn't see where his hand was, but I was betting it was on Carol's thigh, from his position. Carol didn't move.
Jack made small talk, while we ate and waited for him to return to the subject of our insurance claim. He returned his arm to Carol's shoulder, and I could see him stoking her hair.
"I'm a businessman, and a successful one, a RUTHLESS one, and I don't give up a lot of money out of the goodness of my heart. I expect something in return." Jack's arm dropped down under Carol's armpit, and I could see him doing a "reach around," touching Carol's left breast with his left hand. He couldn't get much of it, but enough that Carol could clearly feel the hand over her bra and sweater, and I could clearly see it, which I think is what Jack wanted.
"So, how about this for a deal? I give your son life. And in return I get Carol, for say, two weeks, until the surgery is scheduled."
"Get? What do you mean, get?" I asked.
"Let's say, at my disposal," replied Jack. He reached up with his left hand, and sort of lifted Carol's left tit. "Carol sure is sexy, Neil, and I'm not taking her from you, I just want to borrow her. Surely that's worth your son's life."
Carol's jaw dropped, but she was speechless.
"That's my deal. Final word. Take it or leave it. I'm going to go to the bathroom," said Jack, "and you two can talk about it."
When Jack had left the table, I said, "I'm going to deck that guy!"
"God, I can't believe this," said Carol, rubbing her temples. "He makes my skin crawl, but has us over a barrel."
