January, 2050
Jobs are scarce these days. With companies letting go more and more employees it's becoming exceedingly important to interview well and make a good impression. And the interviews were getting more and more interesting.
Evan Catalano was the Assistant to the Director of Human Resources for Nugene Pharmaceuticals. He was in charge of interviewing all potential department heads.
Because of the state of the economy, Evan wasn't a stranger to attempts at bribery or flirtation from women or men. He was generally resistant to it. Any amount of money or sex just didn't seem worth his job.
Not until Charlotte came in to interview for an opening in the Research Department. Her resume was impeccable, her references glowing. Based on his experience he expected a conservatively dressed middle aged woman who sat with her legs crossed and her glasses pushed back, hair pulled back into a severe bun.
Her certainly did not expect what he saw walking in. His interviewee, Charlotte Meneses, was 5'7", almost 6'0" with those stiletto heals she was wearing. But that was the most benign portion of her outfit. Above her heals she wore stockings held up by garters that were just visible, hanging out beneath her skirt.
And that skirt. Goddamn, that skirt rode just below her sweet ass, was pleated and reminded him of what a schoolgirl would wear. But no honest schoolgirl would wear something that short. On top she had a simple white button up tucked in, a short tie at the top. He was just shocked her blonde hair wasn't pulled up into pigtails.
This was his interview?
"Mr. Catalano?" The woman held out her hand. "I'm Charlotte Meneses." Evan didn't think it would be a smart idea to stand up, his boner probably making more of an impression than was appropriate. He took the coward's way out, half standing and reaching out over the desk to shake her hand.
"You're here to interview for..." He couldn't even finish sentences now, she had him that up in arms.
Charlotte took his awkwardness in strike, bouncing a little as she responded, "For the head of the Human Testing Sector." God help him, her tits jiggled in that little shirt. For a minute he thought she might start jumping and cheering as if she were at a football game.
"Do you mind?" Evan inclined his head toward the thumbprint reader. Charlotte leaned down, put her thumb against it and put her eye against the reader. Evan sat and waited for the readout. In the last ten years with the new delta-suits, identification was crucial. Delta-suits were the newest rage of identity thieves. The device allowed for individuals to assume the identity of someone else temporarily.
"Aren't we suspicious?" Charlotte breathed, smiling as she obeyed his request.
"Can't be too careful." Evan looked at the readout and nodded. "Have a seat, Charlotte." Evan motioned to the seat in front of his desk. Charlotte smiled real big, bounced again and sat down. She crossed her legs, letting her skirt slide even further up her leg.
He couldn't let this go on. "Ms. Meneses, I've read your application and you are extremely well qualified for this position."
"Uh huh," she might have giggled.
"Ms Meneses, I have to be honest with you. You're very qualified, and I'm sure you'd do grade A work. But I'm a little concerned by..." Evan couldn't even say it, he just waved his hand up and down, indicating how she was dressed.
"Let me guess," Charlotte sat up, pressing her elbows in so her breasts would stand higher. "I'm not exactly exemplary of your dress code?" She smiled, dimples poking out on both cheeks.
"Yeah." Evan left it at that, letting her make the next move.
He thought she was leaving when she stood up and walked to the door. But she just closed then locked it.
"Now just a minute..." Evan started but she quickly interrupted him.
"This is a tough job market, Mr. Catalano." Charlotte began, pulling the shades to his office shut. "I know that, you know that. You may find me highly qualified, but I bet there's ten other applicants in that pile on your desk that are just as qualified, if not more."
"And frankly, I'm tired of searching for a job. As I'm sure you're tired of interviewing dozens and dozens of people." Charlotte began working the knot at her tie, slipping the little piece of fabric out of her collar.
"Charlotte, not that I'm not...not that I wouldn't...I mean you're very..." Evan couldn't even finish a sentence his blood was so boiled up.
