As soon as he walked through the reception room in which the eight young women sat waiting to be called into his office in turn, Philip knew which he would appoint as his new secretary. Having set eyes on her he no longer needed to know the results of the inbox simulation exercise or see her CV. He had to have her. He'd never experienced this before - the thunderbolt - and he was quite wrong-footed.
He conducted four perfunctory interviews before Anita, Derek's PA who was helping with the logistics, showed her in. "This is Holly Spencer, Mr McAllister," she said, handing over a sheaf of paperwork.
"Thank you, Anita," he said. "Please take a seat, Miss Spencer."
He began mechanically to run through his list of questions as he looked her over, starting at the small, narrow feet in black pumps so high she teetered as she entered his office. She was eighteen years old, fresh out of college, but if anything she looked even younger: a schoolgirl playing dress up in her older sister's clothes. She wore a grey, herringbone pencil skirt so tight that he'd thought he could discern the buttons of her suspenders on her thighs as she sat in the waiting room. She crossed her shapely legs and a glimpse of white skin above the tops of her stockings confirmed his suspicions. Her cream turtleneck sweater was also skintight and he suspected she was not wearing a bra. Her young breasts were high and firm and the nipples stood out proudly. Her body was flawless.
Now he looked at her face. She was talking about her best qualities but he could see those for himself. Her eyes were wide and a clear baby blue, fringed with long, dark lashes. There was a peppering of freckles on her tip-tilted nose. Her mouth was a little too wide for perfection but he had no difficulty in imagining it wrapped around his hard cock, which twitched at the thought. Her shoulder length hair was thick and blonde. He thought about twisting it in a rope around his fist as she sucked, looking up at him with those wide, round eyes as he fucked her mouth.
He glanced at the framed photograph of his wife, Julie, on his desk and offered her a silent apology. In six years of marriage he had never been unfaithful, unless you counted lapdances at company events, which Derek - his father-in-law as well as his boss - did not seem to. But Philip knew he had to have Holly.
He asked her several more questions, watching her pink, glossy lips as she replied, glimpsing between them her white teeth and the tip of her tongue, and then said, dismissing her, "Thank you very much, Miss Spencer. We'll be in touch." He followed her from the room, his eyes fixed on her tight buttocks as they undulated beneath her skirt, and made his way to the gents' toilets where he masturbated to a powerful orgasm before returning to his office and hurrying through three more interviews.
He left it half an hour after concluding the last one before calling Anita in. "Can you invite Spencer and Maloney back for second interviews tomorrow, please, Anita?" he asked.
Anita's mouth formed a hard line. Maria Maloney was experienced and came highly recommended. She was clearly the pick of the bunch. But Holly Spencer? The girl's CV was thinner than Anita's lips. Mr McAllister, she thought, was being led by his dick. She had a shrewd idea that she could predict the outcome of tomorrow's interview.
. . .
Overnight, he wrestled with his conscience.
He watched Julie as she watched TV. At 32, she was four years younger than him and a pretty woman with wavy dark hair and brown eyes. But her body lacked the supple tautness of Holly Spencer's and her face the eager innocence. He didn't find Julie unattractive, but Derek had pushed him to marry her and had hinted heavily that it would benefit Philip's career prospects to do so. She had not been his choice.
He watched her again later that night as she slept beside him, her mouth open. He reached into his nightstand drawer and lubed up his cock, picturing Holly's slender waist and the swell of her breasts to coax it to hardness. Then he wrenched off Julie's pyjama trousers, ignoring her sleepy protests, flipped her onto her belly and entered her from behind. He reached beneath her to rub her clit and encountered coarse, curling hair. He shuddered in revulsion and almost lost his hard on. He closed his eyes and fought to recapture the mental picture of Holly that had sustained him during her interview: on her knees, looking up at him, sliding her tongue up and down his shaft. This did the trick and he was able to finish in his wife's pussy, pumping her full of thick cream.
. . .
He saw Holly second the following day. He knew Maria Maloney should have got the job, but seeing Holly again conjured an instant erection and he was powerless to resist. He knew one of the other directors would shortly require a PA as his long term secretary had just announced her retirement. He emailed Maria's CV to Kate in Human Resources, who was responsible for executive team appointments, and when he called her to follow up Kate asked to see Maria immediately. Once Maria had left the waiting room, he called Holly back in.
She wore a knee length navy shift dress with a v-neck, offering a glimpse of pale cleavage, and a matching jacket. Her legs were clad in sheer nude stockings and she had on the same high black shoes as yesterday. Her hair was in a plaited bun with tendrils escaping to frame her lovely face. Today's lipgloss was bright red. He pictured it staining his cock.
"So," he said, smiling at her. "When can you start?"
A wide smile spread across Holly's lovely face and she leapt to her feet. Philip stepped out from behind his desk and extended a hand for her to shake but she flung her arms around his neck and pressed her breasts to his chest. Philip, nervous lest she feel his huge erection against her body and be scared off, held her at arms' length and she hastily backed off.
"I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, flustered and embarrassed. "That was very unprofessional of me. I do apologise. I'm just so excited. I thought there must be so many candidates more qualified for the role. I'm really, really sorry."
Philip laughed as she gushed. "I'm glad you are happy," he said. "Yes, there were more qualified candidates - one is upstairs now being interviewed for an executive assistant role - but we felt you had a lot of potential and deserved an opportunity to prove yourself. Do I take it you wish to accept the offer?"
"Yes, please!" said Holly, smoothing down her skirt, which had ridden up to expose the lace bands at the top of her hold-ups. Philip struggled to compose himself and quickly moved behind his desk again to conceal the damp patch in his crotch caused by the pre-cum leaking from his penis.
He ran through a few administrative procedures with her as he waited for his erection to partially subside and then escorted her to the lift.
"The paperwork should be ready in a couple of days," he told her.
"Thank you, Mr McAllister," she said.
