“Sorry Jane, I have people coming in for a meeting. That was Alison on the phone. They just turned up unexpectedly but I really do need to see them. Unfortunately of course. I’d way rather carry on with this. ” I chuckled as I watched her scramble, looking everywhere for her bra. “But anyway, thank God she didn’t call five minutes earlier.”

“Trust me, I wouldn’t have let you answer.” Jane said. She was on the floor looking under my desk. I considered asking her to stay under my desk for the duration of the meeting. Now that would be an interesting meeting.

“Are you looking for this?” I asked and dangled her bra in my fingers. It had been on top of the desk all along. She smiled gratefully and quickly put it back on. She seemed suddenly shy to have her breasts exposed. But I didn’t look away. I watched as she took her blouse off and put her bra back on. I watched as she put her blouse back on and then put her panties back on and arranged her clothes to what she hoped was orderly. I watched as she tried to untangle her hair without a brush and how she looked in her little compact mirror to make sure that her makeup was still fine. I couldn’t stop looking at her. When the door knocked I laughed as she ran to my desk and began packing away all the food. Then when I opened the door to let in the clients I laughed as she almost tripped walking out. It was good to see that I had that effect on her. For a while I thought she might not be interested in me at all. My walking contradiction.

“Working through lunch I see?” John said.

“Always.” I replied and motioned for them to come in.

“Thank you for seeing us on such short notice. We happened to be in the area and thought we might as well try our luck. You’re a very busy man so we were very surprised when your secretary said you could see us.” John and Spencer were two very important clients of mine. I had done a lot of business with them in the past and had taken on board a lot of their suggestions. We’d been planning on meeting up again for a long time now but something kept coming up for either them or myself. I was glad to see them even though they had come at a rather unfortunate time. Perhaps only twenty minutes later and Jane could’ve returned the favor to me. I wonder how it would feel to have her lips on my –

“Yeah,” Spencer interrupted me out of my thoughts, “I told John it was pointless coming in to see you like this, but I was wrong.”

“Ah I’ve wanted to meet with you for a while now anyway. We have lots to discuss so I’m very glad that you were in the area. What do you think of the changes in the casino? Did you get a chance to see any of them? You haven’t been here in what, six months? A lot has changed since then and a lot of the changes were because of all your suggestions.” I was sure that they would be happy with everything that I had done since last seeing them.

“We briefly saw when we were coming in and I have to say Sebastian. We liked what we saw. We liked it a lot. I think we make a good team.”

“I think so too. Well, there are going to be even more changes. And hopefully we can work towards getting the two of you on board. You’ll also be happy to know that we have finally gotten someone to deal with our social media. I know that it was something that you mentioned before and you were right – we are very far behind in that department. Anyway, before we start, would you like some coffee? I know that I can sure do with some.”

“That would be great, thank you.”

I picked up the phone and called Alison. But it wasn’t Alison that answered, it was Jane. I was so used to hearing Alison’s gruff cigarette voice that the sweet voice that came through took me by surprise. “Jane, why you are picking up Alison’s phone?” I asked.

“Sorry, Alison needed to go get some lunch and she asked if I could monitor the phone while she was out. She should be back in about half an hour or so.”

“Okay, well that’s no problem. You have reminded me that I need to make a plan to get someone to cover for her during lunch times. I keep forgetting. Don’t tell her that though. I was actually phoning to ask Alison if she could bring three coffees into my office. Would you be able to do that for us?”

“Uh… yes. Sure. I’ll be right there.” I put the phone down and was glad that I’d be seeing Jane again.

When she walked in she was nervously carrying a tray with three coffees and then with snail-like speed she placed it on the table. I thought she was going to spill coffees over everyone the way she was carrying on. I tried not to laugh at the thought.

“I’m sorry. As you can see, this is why I’m in the marketing department and not serving drinks at the bar or restaurant. I was always a terrible waitress. It’s like I’m super confident with everything and then the moment I have to serve someone something I turn into a nervous wreck.”

John and Spencer laughed and smiled at her. That’s when I noticed that her one button was still undone and that her breasts were hanging out when she bent over. The men could not stop staring. I literally saw Spencer blink and quickly compose himself. “Not too worry at all. I was an awful waiter too. Awful. It’s not a job that everyone can do well, that’s for sure. But I think it’s something that everyone should do. You have so much more respect for waiters once you’ve done it yourself. Thanks for the coffee. It’s great.”

Jane was beaming at him and looked more relaxed. “I agree. And yeah, the coffee is amazing here, a very big perk of my job. Have a great meeting and just call if you need anything else.”

“Thanks Jane.” As she turned around to walk out I noticed that the back of her skirt was tucked into her panties. Thankfully the two men were facing me and hadn’t noticed. I wanted to burst out laughing. Jane. She was a strange mixture of nerves and confidence that I just didn’t understand.

“She’s nice.” John said.

“Yeah, she’s very sweet. She’s actually new, only been here a week now. She’s actually the one that I hired to do our social media. I ran a contest and got people to send in their best ideas. And she was the one that we liked the most. She’s already doing a great job. Like she said, she’s far better at her job than she is at serving people.”

“She’s nice.” John said again.

“Please excuse me. I just have to send a quick message to someone.” I said to John and Spencer and then quickly typed up a message to Jane.

Jane, check your skirt. Don’t worry. They didn’t see. I’m glad I did though. God, I wish you were still here. I want more.

I smiled back up at the men. “Right, then where were we.”

But the whole way through the conversation my mind kept wandering back to Jane. The way her breasts had felt, the way her nipples had hardened and the delicious way that she had tasted. I suddenly couldn’t remember what I had seen in Susie the Cutie or any other girl that I had slept with in the casino. Those girls suddenly seemed so silly and childish to me. Jane was a real woman. She was someone that I would never thought I would’ve been with, and yet I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I wondered how she felt about me. I knew she liked me – that part was obvious. Although there were times when I also thought that she despised me. Also, I was her boss and I knew that complicated things. It didn’t complicate anything for me. I had no trouble with sleeping with my staff. But it always seemed to get in the way. That was why I had hired Alison. She was older and not someone I was attracted to, and because of that she was able to do her job well without me constantly harassing her. I wondered how it was going to be with Jane now. Whether this was just going to be a one off thing. But I knew that more was coming. I wanted her again and I was going to have to do everything in my power to make that happen. Today’s meeting with her was simply not enough.
