Lucas: I dropped my pen. I may need to go under the table to get it. Wonder what I will see while down there.
Simone: I wish you could taste what you’ll see.
He casually bends down to get his property and grazes my leg with his hand before returning to his seat.
“Everything all right, Weathers?” Armstrong asks.
“Uh, yes, sir. I dropped my writing equipment, and it rolled over by Ms. Greene’s feet. I was trying not to get kicked.”
Armstrong gives him an awkward eye, and the whole room looks towards me when I don’t respond.
“Oh, I didn’t have a clue what he was doing. I was listening intently to your presentation.”
A few heads nod in agreement, and Armstrong continues.
Simone: You’re going to get us caught.
Lucas: I like the thrill of it all. BTW, where did those panties come from?
Simone: I keep a spare for unplanned incidents.
Lucas: Oh, I see. Don’t have those on tonight.
Simone: And you don’t wear anything over this.
I remove my shoe, extend my leg, move my foot up his leg, and nestle it against his junk. My gentle strokes awaken the beast underneath those slacks, and he squirms a little to adjust himself. He glances up at me and flashes a subtle smile.Meanwhile, I look towards Mr. Armstrong.
“So, that’s why I am naming Lucas Weathers as our new senior account manager,” he announces.
The room erupts in claps and whistles while my heart sinks. I turn back to Lucas, and he has a look of surprise on his face, but mine quickly turns to anger. I move my foot from his lap, and he stands to go shake Mr. Armstrong’s hand. I fake a clap, but as I stare at him, I hope I’m boring a hole into his head.
“Lucas will be over the account teams led by Dominic and Simone. I trust you two won’t have an issue with this.” Armstrong studies us for agreement.
“No, sir. Lucas is a great guy, and I’m sure I will learn under his tutelage,” Dominic Bright boasts.
What a kiss-ass, I think to myself. I continue to glare at Lucas who can’t seem to make eye contact with me.
“Ms. Greene, do you have a problem?”
The heat from the others pours over me, and I cringe when I think he is my new lead. Kyle had been out of the office a lot recently, but he kind of put me in charge. The natural flow of things between Armstrong and myself seemed like I was a shoo-in to take his place. But once again, this asshole shows up and takes what should’ve been mine.
“No, sir,” I simply state. No long, drawn-out, kissing ass from me. In fact, Lucas won’t be getting any more of this ass.
“Alrighty then. If you all don’t have any other things to comment or bring to the table, we are dismissed.”
Everyone stands to leave, and Tanya hangs around waiting for me to gather my things and put my shoe back on. I make a mental note to burn these stockings and everything he touched when I get home.
“Uh, Tanya, Simone will see you in a moment. I need to speak with her and Lucas. Please close the door on your way out,” Armstrong says.
“Yes, sir. Simone, will we still be meeting?” she asks.
“I don’t think so. Let’s table it for tomorrow.”
“Okay. See you in a few.” She leaves to head back to our area.
I turn my attention to see why I am being held against my wishes.
“Simone, I want and need to know you will be okay working under Lucas. I know how much you wanted this position, but after I spoke with a few people and thought long and hard about the responsibilities and the client base he will oversee from both teams, he was the better choice. This has nothing, and I do mean nothing, to do with your performance at all. Most of the clients Dominic handles are male-based companies. Unfortunately, they are established companies, if you will, and not very open-minded.”
