I had been working as a receptionist at a local business firm for almost a year. I didn’t really want the job as it was only entry level and very basic. It wasn’t challenging at all and the people I worked with weren’t very exciting either.
I worked along side the head receptionist who was more of a secretary/PA. She was also my boss. I’ll never forget what my boss’ boss, Jason, told me on my first day.
“You listen to everything Ashleigh tells you. When she says jump, you jump. Got it?”
He treated me like a child ever since day one although he was pretty damn fine. Most CEOs I had previously met were old men with huge beer bellies and had egos the size of Russia. I had never met one so damn good looking.
He was 38, dark hair, stubble trimmed to perfection, which accentuated his flawless jawline, gorgeous clear blue eyes which seemed to sparkle all the damn time and full lips perfect for kissing. He was really tall about 6 feet 5 inches, broad shoulders. It was clear he worked out but it wasn’t too obvious. He was literally my perfect man.
I was only 22 and knew I was too young for him. He was probably married anyway. I had never seen him wear a wedding ring, but no one that good looking was single. Either that or he was gay. The only thing I didn’t like about him was his personality. He was so uptight and everything was serious with him.
I tried making jokes the odd time I did see him but he just stared at me. It was creepy, it was like he was looking right through me. It became intimidating and I don’t get intimidated easily. There was something about him and I couldn’t put my finger on it but when he looked at me my nipples hardened and my pussy tingled. I hadn’t felt that just by looking at someone for a long time.
Hell, I hadn’t felt anyone or anything except for my own hands and my vibrator for over six months. I was beyond sexually frustrated.
After a few months I noticed that Jason was calling Ashleigh to his office every day just before lunch hour. It seemed innocent but she began coming back later and later. I wasn’t allowed to go to lunch until she came back and on this particular Friday she had been gone for nearly two hours. I had thought that maybe they were fucking but now it was just plain obvious. I was absolutely starving.
‘Fuck this!’ I thought. Just as I was about to grab my coat to quickly nip across the street, Ashleigh came back into the foyer. I was stood there just staring at her. She wasn’t smirking or pretending to act cool. She was bawling her eyes out. She just stood at the door looking at me as I looked at her. I could see the pain and shame in her eyes. She broke the stare and turned her head away shaking it before running towards the staff rest room. I grabbed my things and went after her.
I could hear her crying. I didn’t really want to interrupt but I felt so bad. I didn’t feel like I knew her well enough to talk about the situation,. We got on well at work but that was it. I never spoke to her outside unless we bumped into one another on the street. I took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.
“Ash? You okay, babe?”
“Fine!”
I could tell was trying to put herself together but the squeak in her voice said everything it needed to.
“Come on, you are seriously not okay. Talk to me.”
I tried to sound soft, I wasn’t being nosy and looking for office gossip. I’m not like that, but I was scared she would take it that way. I braced myself for a slap as I heard the door unlock.
Ashleigh appeared shyly, mascara running down her face. I don’t know why but she looked so beautiful, a beautiful mess.
“I can’t tell you Laura. It’s so embarrassing.” She brought a tissue up to her eye to catch a tear.
“Sure you can. I know we don’t talk much outside of work but still you’ve been there for me when I’ve been upset.”
She looked up to me and smiled, I smiled back she opened the door and let me in.
“Come on let’s fix you up and you can tell me all about it.”
While I was wiping the mascara that had run down her cheek she began explaining to me that Jason had wanted to sleep with her.
