Chapter 6
Jason
At the office, I decide that it’s time to have Vivienne to start assisting me on a major eco-friendly skyscraper project in New York. She truly has a natural talent despite her lack of experience.
“Vivienne, I have to tell you that I am truly impressed. Your fresh perspective and understanding of the design process for this project is a breath of fresh air.”
She peeked up at me with a slight blush. You could tell that she wasn’t use to being praised, but she loved it. Her blush slowly crept down to the swell of her breast. Yeah, my girl had a praise kink. I would bet my left nut.
“Thank you, Jason. I’ve been doing a lot of research on eco-friendly building to help with this project. I know it’s important to you.” She was beaming with excitement as she talked. She used her hands animatedly as she spoke.
My mind starts to imagine those dainty hands of hers wrapping around my cock as she pumped them up and down.
“I think we should incorporate more organic, family-friendly spaces into the design.” Vivienne continues to talk about her own kids and how they would use the different spaces.
“Viv, these are all excellent ideas. Let’s start with creating some 3d models and see how we can incorporate some of your ideas.”
My arm brushes over Vivienne’s several times as we work quietly side-by-side. My fingers itch to touch her. But I hold myself back. I don’t won’t her to be uncomfortable around me.
As we continue to build the 3D model, Jen opens my office door. “Mr. Blackwood, I was wondering if you needed me to grab you lunch today? I noticed that you had your schedule blocked out for the rest of the afternoon.”
“Jen, first, don’t ever come into my office without knocking and waiting for my answer. Second, it’s not your responsibility to look after my schedule. Third, Vivienne is my assistant and is more than capable of grabbing lunch for me.”
“Oh, I, um, I-I’m sorry for overstepping. I-I was just….”
Running my hands over my face, I feel myself getting frustrated and I cut Jen’s words off, “Stop. Go back down to the first floor where your job is as the receptionist. It is NOT your job to bother yourself with my whereabouts. Is that understood? Do not come up here again.”
Jen says nothing as she glares at Vivienne and storms out of my office. What was she thinking when she came up here? Never once have I gave her any indication that I needed her assistance. And what was that about my schedule being blocked out for the afternoon? Viv and I go over my weekly schedule every Monday morning. I know for a fact that we have meetings today.
I look over at Vivienne working quietly on the 3d model. She didn’t say a word while Jen was in here, but I know she’s itching to say something. This woman loves to speak here mind and I love it.
She slowly looks up at me and I can’t help myself, “Go ahead and say whatever is on your mind, Viv.”
Smirking up at me, she bats her eyes at me, “ Why Jason, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Cut the shit, I know you want to say something.”
“Okay, okay. That woman has been itching for an opportunity to jump on your dick and you just don’t see it. Do you?”
I can’t help but laugh. “What? I have never once led that woman on.”
“Oh, you don’t have to. But I see it. She wants you. But something didn’t sit right with me. Your afternoon schedule is definitely not blocked out. You have 2 afternoon meetings today.”
She gets up and runs into her office that joins mine and returns to my desk with her planner in hand.
“Look, we went over your calendar for the week this morning. I know we were looking at my tablet, but you know I always back that up to my planner. I’m thorough like that. Your meetings onsite are written
in blue, offsite are written in purple. If they’ve been rescheduled or canceled, I make notations next to them and cross them out. They are never erased. All confirmed meetings have a check-mark in pink.”
I round my desk and pull up my calendar on the computer. “Viv, I trust you. I’m sure there’s an explanation.” Sure enough, my afternoon is completely blocked off.
“I don’t understand Jason. I’m sorry. Maybe I accidentally blocked it off. But I know for a fact that I confirmed them and they are still on schedule for today.”
I can see the panic in Vivienne’s eyes. She hates making mistakes, but she’s not normally this distraught. I slowly rise from chair and make my way around to the other side of my desk to where Vivienne is leaning over it, I put my hands on
her shoulders and turn her to face me. Her head is down, so I place two fingers under her chin and tip it up to look at me.
“Viv, sweetheart, it’s okay. I promise, I won’t blame you. In the six months that you have been with me, you have never let me down. You’ve exceeded all of my expectations. Okay. Now, let’s go get some lunch. From there, we’ll head over to our meeting with the zoning committee.”
“Thank you.” Vivienne’s whisper is so soft, I would have missed it if we weren’t less than a few inches apart.
Vivienne crosses my office to hers and quietly grabs her purse and heads to my side as we leave from my office to the elevators. As the doors to the elevator opens, I place my hand to Viv’s back and guide her out. I keep my hand resting there as we make our way across the lobby and out the door.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Jen staring at us. Viv’s head is held high. that’s my girl. She doesn’t cower to anyone.
“Jen, we’re heading to lunch and then to our afternoon meeting. Send all calls to voicemail.”
