She rode me until I forgot her name, and by the end of it I was coming so hard inside her, I blacked out. She came as well, her juices spilling all over me as she cried out and then collapsed against my body. I kissed her because I needed to feel even closer to her, and we held each other tightly as our bodies jerked and spasmed, the orgasm taking us both to places we never wanted to come back from. Eventually, after the powerful waves were beginning to subside, slumber came. As though she understood, as though she was completely convinced that she belonged in my arms, she curved her small body into mine, and I wrapped her in my arms. It took a mere few moments of me listening to her breathing until it evened out, and then we were both fast asleep.

A few hours later, a slight turbulence brought me awake. It took a little while for me to become oriented to my environment once again, but in no time, I realized that I had also woken up because there was a knock on the door. Not wanting to yell out so I wouldn’t wake the gorgeous woman still in my arms, I grabbed the phone by the table beside me and placed a call to the flight attendant, Gerald.

“What is it?” I asked, my tone incredibly groggy.

“I’m very sorry to disturb you, but we'll be landing in Chicago within the hour, sir.”

“Alright, thanks for the heads-up,” I replied, and then I set down the phone. She was already awake and alert, and so she heard me.

I love how she stretched her entire body against me until she had gotten all the way out.

“Good, I feel so good yet so exhausted at the same time.”

I completely understood her, however, my entire system was beginning to anticipate and focus now on what we had come to Chicago to do, and the cruciality of it. So, after kissing her, I headed into the shower and pulled her along with me. A little while later, we were both dressed and ready to land.

We went into work mode after that, with me reviewing the details that were needed for the meeting, and soon enough, we landed. We were driven out of the airport and straight to Haansbro company headquarters, and they were just as surprised to see me as I had anticipated.

“Sir, I’ll tell the board that you’re here,” the Vice President's secretary told me, however, there was no need for that.

“Knock yourself out,” I said, and in no time, I was barging into the executive conference room, right on time. It was filled just as we had been informed, and I couldn't help my smile. They were all shocked to see me because as per the arranged meeting, we were supposed to have met the following morning, but here I was, and they were nearly pooping their pants.

I grabbed the still-empty seat at the end which belonged to the late chairman, and then I smiled. Afterward, I held out my hand to Hannah, and she put down three sweets and cookie packets. I threw them across the table, and a number of them were startled while the rest were extremely upset at how I was behaving.

“You shouldn’t sit there,” one of the members, Charles Alson, said. “We left it empty for a reason to honor the late chairman.”

“If you want to honor him, then perhaps you should have considered not running his company into the ground rather than keeping a fucking chair empty in his honor. You didn’t think he would like that?”

Suddenly, a hand smacked down against the table. “Templeton!” The Vice President of Marketing called out. “What is this? What do you think you're doing barging in here? You’re the company's lawyer, but you don't have the right to interrupt our meeting in this way.”

I turned then to look at Hannah and on cue, she began to hand out the printed documents that we had prepared beforehand. I watched all the old vultures seated around and derived the utmost satisfaction from their faces showing they realized who the undisclosed shareholder that had taken over most of the shares was.

“What?” Their mouths fell open in surprise and soon all eyes were fixed upon me.

“He knew this was going to happen,” I said. “He knew after he left you all would promulgate the nonsense argument that you've been trying to push forward from the beginning, that it's because the ingredients are too expensive and profits are not up to par and have been dwindling. He hasn't been gone eight months and what were the reported sales from the last two quarters? They are all on the floor, and the company is declining by the day because you lot decided to cut corners.”

“And then when McLay decided to confront you all, you decided to call a board meeting to fire him. He’s the fucking head of manufacturing. He's been there for the past thirty years. Who in the hell do you think in this industry will be able to replace him? “

At my words, they all went quiet, and then I rose to my feet, unwilling to remain here longer than was necessary.

“I've been monitoring your products since the chairman passed away as he told me to, and do you know what I've found out? That he was absolutely right. You would cut corners slowly, with the ingredients, until the entire product turned into sawdust. Literally. Have any of you tasted what has been produced recently?”

None of them responded.

And then I turned to Hannah, and once again she passed out a document, however, this one was a single sheet.

"The chairman passed over the majority of his shares to me, and so with the vested power, I am ensuring that McLay keeps his position. Charles Alson and Eugene Smith, I vote that you both be instantly removed from the board.”

Long and shocking gasps followed, as well as protests, irritated by the noise more than anything else, I lifted my hand and called the room to order.

“I didn't come here to argue,” I told them. “This is why I gathered and presented all needed evidence. If you want to vet them yourself, you have the chance, and if anything is inaccurate, then you can bring me before the board again. But for now, all those in favor of my approval, raise your hand.”

It took a lot of time, but eventually, hands began to raise slowly, one after the other, until in no time, I basically had the room.

"Great," I replied, and then I rose to my feet. My initial plan had been to continue with this meeting until late into the night, however, at the sight of the gorgeous woman standing near me, I decided that it would be much better if it was adjourned.

“There's no need to keep any of you waiting. It's almost past midnight. So, what we will do is meet again for the original board meeting as scheduled for tomorrow, and then we can restructure and try to stop this irresponsible form driving this company into the ground.”

The fired executives got up and left, and then there were none. I had expected more pushback. I had expected incisive fighting and even perhaps resorting to blows. But for that, there would be the next day.
