Ellie's Change in Status
"As you can see from the chart, Mr. Allenby, the implementation of our new scheduling matrix provides a double-digit decrease in operational costs, while reducing time in transit as well, resulting in a better customer experience overall," Ellie explained succinctly by video conference to Hank Allenby, President and CEO of Allenby Consolidation, sitting in his plush U.S. office.
As is the nature of modern-day business communication in a time of global pandemic, Ellie had no idea the slight-framed man controlling the entire Allenby empire was without pants and receiving a sumptuous blowjob under his desk from Melanie Hamilton, the unfortunate 21-year-old granddaughter of Joyce Hamilton, company founder Carl Allenby's retired former secretary.
How Hank managed to transfer the onus of Joyce's burden to her appealing granddaughter was anybody's guess, but Melanie was now serving the remainder of her grandmother's penance with her succulent mouth and slender body.
Dressed in the same authentic cheerleader outfit she wore in college, with her cute, pixyish dark brown hair pinned back by colorful red barrettes, the aspiring schoolteacher reverentially practiced the art of edging the 55-year-old executive's rampant 8" shaft in a lesson on cock worship the tyrannical company president insisted she perfect for the benefit of his many powerful clients.
Analytical and smart, Mrs. Ellie Harris, the pretty blonde Senior Operations manager for the U.K. region was making her usual thorough and meticulous presentation from the satellite London office, joined by Jane Allenby, director of the company's U.K. operations, along with three other members of the regional executive committee.
"The net result is a substantial boost to our overall profitability," Ellie continued, pausing in her crisp, professional business suit for a moment and raising her head with a beaming smile of accomplishment.
"Fucking tart. Flashing her big tits for the camera to distract my brother," Jane Allenby cursed under her breath just out of earshot. "The credit for that increase properly belongs to me. The smarmy bitch is stealing my glory. She wants my position as director."
Shy and unassuming, Ellie wasn't nearly as ambitious as Jane pretended, but she was extremely competent and highly accomplished. That made her a threat to Ms. Allenby's job security, real or imagined, despite Jane's insider position as the sister of the company president.
Unfairly dismissed as a woman by their cold-hearted father, Carl, in favor of her younger brother as heir to the Allenby business empire, Jane was forced to earn her place in the company after suffering the unwarranted disapproval of her father, and then even Hank.
Relentless in her pursuit of their respect, and the power that came with it, while unerring in achieving her goals, Jane handled her job with calculated efficiency and a complete disregard for people. Those whom she despised, or those standing in her way posing a threat, were quickly dispatched on her ascension through the ranks.
Plain and looking more like her scrawny brother than she'd like to admit, but not otherwise unattractive, Jane Allenby was single and married to her career.
A mid-50's brunette with stringy shoulder-length hair, the uptight woman possessed a thin, gangly body with barely any curves whatsoever. Flat-chested with A-cup breasts, narrow hips, and downright skinny legs, she simply couldn't compete with a woman of the blonde manager's impressive curves.
Ellie Harris was an entirely different story -- average height, pretty, blonde, and well-built with generous curves forming a delightfully appealing body.
Newly married a year ago, the British wife worked hard to elevate herself and never used her fetching looks to advance herself or her career. While committed to her job, she had met the man of her dreams in Dan and easily swooned a smitten 'yes' when he asked her to marry him.
Now, Mrs. Harris was comfortable in the responsible position she held, earning it through brains and hard work. Ellie was on the way up, and the couple even recently purchased a charming flat in a tony downtown area that strained their budget but was simply too perfect to pass up and was a sound investment too.
Although Ellie dressed conservatively in keeping with a professional office environment, Jane saw the looks in the eyes of the men in her office, casting furtive glances at Ellie passing in the hall, or inadvertently drifting to the blonde wife's prodigious chest, even in serious business conversations.
No one's eyes ever drifted to Jane Allenby's chest, and that fact alone left her raw with envy and anger.
Perhaps it was the younger beauty's business acumen, or perhaps it was that Ellie was full of the curves that draw men's gaze, or perhaps it was that, while something of a taskmaster, she was engaging and popular with the office staff. For whatever reason, Jane didn't like Ellie from the start, and the bright manager's unintended challenge to her position simply couldn't stand.
Jealous, insecure, and vindictive, Jane decided Ellie needed to go.
The problem for Jane was that Ellie was a star employee, doing her job well with a stellar performance record. As a result, terminating the happily married woman wasn't an option. In typical Allenby manner, however, reducing the beauty to the lowest rung on the corporate ladder as office fucktoy was a possibility.
Cunning and lethal, the conniving brunette decided it was time to knock the rising star off her perch, steal her dignity, and bring her to heel, while extracting a measure of retribution she planned to enjoy thoroughly.
"Next week's corporate retreat is the perfect opportunity," Jane decided evilly with Machiavellian intent. "A weekend at the country estate will make for Ellie's destruction and will also be an excellent reward for the executive team."
The Retreat
Set in a peaceful English manor owned by the Allenby family, the annual off-site meeting of the executive team offered an ideal chance to meet and plan for the coming fiscal year. It was also secluded enough to meet Ms. Allenby's more treacherous ulterior motives.
"Lovely. It's so good of you all to make it on time. You know how much Allenby Consolidation values punctuality," Jane greeted the collected team on the evening before the first day of meetings and discussions.
"Cheers, everyone! Tonight, we relax and enjoy some food and wine, and tomorrow we undertake the true purpose for our gathering," the austere Allenby scion toasted, raising a glass of fine French Champagne.
The group was composed of nine executives altogether, including Jane and Ellie as the only women. Prominent among the group were Ashton Winslow, Finance Manager, Matthew Salinger, Sales Manager, and Brad Jackson, Ms. Allenby's chief lieutenant and only other American besides herself.
The senior executives were in their mid-to-late 40's and extremely loyal to Jane Allenby. The remaining four men were assistants to the managers in their mid-to-late 20's, including Mrs. Harris' own persevering lieutenant, Jack Fisk, along with Colin Brody, Roddy Fisher, and Kevin Malloy, the lone black man on the team.
As a business retreat, no spouses or significant others were permitted, and as the alcohol flowed, the conversation grew lively and a touch bawdy, especially considering the mixed company and the normally staid demeanor of the congregation during regular business hours.
While bashful by nature, Ellie joined the fray as well, shooting out a clever riposte or off-color joke as she too felt the influence of the drink and frivolity. Even her outfit was more relaxed than usual, although still modest -- a black skirt above the knees with sheer black stockings and a rose-colored silk blouse exhibiting a hint of her generous cleavage but nothing more, topping 3" black heels.
Tastefully, Mrs. Harris wore light make-up adorning her pretty face, with a hint of rose eyeshadow above her blue eyes and a subtle rose lipstick complementing her blouse. Her straight blonde shoulder-length hair was held by a decorative gold clasp in the back and that was it.
As the only women present, Jane and Ellie received an inordinate amount of attention from the men, but the manner of that attention was distinctly different, at least in the jaundiced appraisal of Jane Allenby. Raucous banter, suggestive comments, and inviting looks were thrown at Ellie, even by her own assistant Jack.
While Mrs. Harris played along good-naturedly, she easily rejected the overtures as a faithful and devoted wife to Dan.
Jane was also highly involved, but none of the remarks directed her way were even remotely provocative or improper, and that unintended slight only served to madden her further, raising her desire for justice, at least her form of it, to ever greater heights of enmity.
"You'll soon get all the attention you want, Ellie, and even more that you don't," Jane swore vengefully.
First Day
"W-hat?" Ellie asked groggily, shaking her head of the fog of too much drink, lying uncertain of her circumstances, and wondering why she couldn't remember.
Intending to rub her eyes, the confused wife found herself unable to do so, with her hands cuffed behind her back and bent at the elbows, with her forearms bound against each other and effectively immobilized.
"I, uh, damn, what's going on?" she exclaimed with alarm, twisting in bed with her eyes popping to life while sensing she was without sheets or a bedspread.
"Wait, it's dark. Is it still nighttime?" Ellie questioned at first, blinking two or three times, but seeing nothing before sensing the blindfold covering her eyes.
"Close, my dear, at least for you," a steely cold female voice dripping with unrestrained enthusiasm for Ellie's predicament whispered within an inch of her ear.
"Who? What's happening?" the startled businesswoman queried, not recognizing the evil tone before recognition filled her blank expression.
