"Jack, I'm so sorry to have to leave but this is a terrific opportunity and you know I've always wanted to work for a television network," Erica said with a somewhat pained but hopeful look on her face.
"Of course it is, Erica," Jack replied. "I would never do anything to hold you back. You know that."
Jack was going to miss Erica for many reasons -- not the least of which was when she wore that low cut sleeveless shirt that she was wearing today -- but he knew that it was time for her to move on. Besides, there are a lot of low-cut shirt wearers in this city, he remembered.
"Well, I just want you to know that you've been the best boss I've ever had, Jack, and I mean it. You know that I'd do anything for you," Erica continued.
What exactly does she mean by that, Jack wondered? He had always fantasized about his assistant Erica and was sad to see her leave. She was a beautiful woman, only about 25 years old. He remembered back to when he first interviewed her when she was about to graduate from college. Her hair was still long and brown, slightly curly. She still had beautiful Italian skin and a killer body. She must be a 34 C or maybe even a D cup, he thought. He really couldn't tell, but figured that either way she was more than adequately endowed.
He never made a move as he knew that office flings were always a bad idea, but as he sat across his office and saw Erica's stiff nipples poking through her shirt coupled with her ample cleavage, he did some quick thinking.
"Well, of course we have to settle up your exit paperwork as soon as possible -- probably tonight. You know the office policy. Once you decide to leave, you have to leave. There are very few exceptions," Jack said, noticing the look of surprise on Erica's face.
"Jack! I was hoping for at least two weeks. I don't start at the network until the end of the month, the new job pays a little less than what I'm making now, and I can't afford to go without an income until the end of the month . . ." her voice sort of trailed off as she looked down at the floor. Jack could see her concern and felt a little guilty.
"Erica, I can try to see if there is something I can do to help but you know how hard it is to get anything out of this company. You're asking a lot here. I've always tried to be a good boss to you but this is --"
"Oh, Jack, I know! I know how good you've been but I really, really need your help here. Anything Jack, please!" A tear made its way down her cheek.
Jack's mind was working overtime on how to handle this and he was taken by surprise to feel his prick harden as Erica started to plead her case to him. He watched her full lips as she said 'please' the last time, and then looked back down at her chest. He had always noticed that Erica's nipples seemed to harden whenever she was emotional – happy, sad, amused, whatever. But now they looked like they might rip out of her shirt. They were just huge. He'd never seen her this upset before. His only question now was how to play this out. It was very late on a Friday night at the office and no one else was around. This is a good thing, Jack thought.
"Well, Erica, this is going to be really tough," Jack was worried that he might be overplaying this one but he knew that Erica lived paycheck to paycheck and out of her league for the salary she was making, especially considering that she lived in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
"OK, well, just name it. And I really mean ANYTHING, Jack," Erica said.
"Hm, well, I'm thinking that we should have a drink and make a toast to your new future, first. This is exciting -- going to the land of television," Jack said, looking her in the eye, and then back down to her chest.
Jack walked over to the closet in his office and pulled out a bottle and two glasses. He put both glasses on his desk and motioned for Erica to walk over. She walked over and grabbed one of the glasses that Jack had just poured.
"What do we have here?" Erica asked, looking at the clear liquid in the glass.
"The finest vodka in the world, Erica. Got it in Russia last year on that trip I took, and I've been saving it for an occasion that warranted drinking a $500 bottle of Vodka . . ." Jack smiled.
"$500!" Erica looked back into the glass as if trying to find the dollar signs.
"Sure, you remember the deal we brokered for that Norwegian oil contractor over there last year? Well, this was a thank you gift from them."
"Cool. I never drank anything that expensive!" Erica said.
"Well, as they say in Russia when you are toasting their favorite liquid, Za Zdrovia!" Jack lifted his glass.
"Za . . . yeah, whatever!" Erica clinked her glass on Jack's and drank down about half of it. "Wow, that's the smoothest vodka I've ever had!"
"That's why someone had to pay $500 for it, I guess," Jack said, sipping his again. "And to your new job," Jack said again holding up his glass. Erica clinked it again and finished the glass. Jack refilled it right away.
