Lunch time around the office was always a happy occasion; everyone got time to themselves to relax after a hard mornings work, the lunch truck pulled up to the building to bring everyone's meal's hot and ready to order, and there was just a general sense of comradery in the office when the workers knew they could be free, even if only for an hour. My favorite part of it however, was that my intern, David, sometimes had his pretty little girlfriend Carissa, bring him lunch from home; a treat for his taste buds and for my eyes, as I had never seen a young girl with such a pretty face before in all my years at the firm.
It was a bit of a tradition for me to stop what I was doing as soon as lunch time started. Mostly so that I could catch a glimpse of Carissa walking past my office. She only came a few times a month so most of the time it just ended in disappointment. But when she did come I knew I'd be in for a treat. From what I'd overheard while passing by the breakroom when David was with his coworkers, she was Chinese, 23 years old, and worked at some clothing store nearby. I'd definitely had a few fantasies involving her being bent over my desk. Of course I never acted upon them.
Some people would probably consider it immoral to lust after your employee's girlfriend. They clearly hadn't seen Carissa if they had come to that conclusion. If the opportunity ever presented itself I'm sure I'd jump at the chance to get with her.
It had been an especially long morning, I had spent the past four hours reading over submitted documents. I looked up from a particularly terrible report and did a double take, David's girlfriend was walking by my office wearing a tight purple dress. All of her curves were accentuated, her breasts were practically on display, and her smooth tan legs ran endlessly beneath her skirt. How could any red blooded man look away from her. I knew right then and there I had to have her today no matter what. I quickly got up and walked over to the door before calling out to her.
"Excuse me miss," I called out, hoping no one would notice.
She looked around confused before noticing me and walking over.
"Oh um, hello, did you need something sir?"
"I haven't seen you around my firm before, do you work here?" I asked.
She laughed and shook her head, "Oh no of course not, I just came to drop off lunch for my boyfriend David." She raised up her hand, showing me the bag of lunch.
"Ah yes, David..." I replied, glancing over at the back of his head. "Well I'm his boss, Matthew DeKalb, and you are?" I asked, extending my hand.
"Nice to meet you Mr. DeKalb, my name is Carissa Lee," she said smiling brightly as she shook my hand. "David speaks very highly of you."
"Please, call me Matthew," I replied back. "If you don't mind me asking, how long have you and David been together?"
"We'll have been together four years tomorrow," she said cheerfully. "We met in college and we've been together ever since."
"Well isn't that sweet?" I took the chance to look her over once more. "You didn't dress up all nicely just to drop David's lunch off did you?" I added with a grin.
"What?" She looked down at her dress and began to turn red. "Oh yeah, I was planning on going out with some friends after dropping off David's lunch,"
"Well don't let me keep you waiting," I smiled walking back to my desk.
"It was nice meeting you Mr. Dekalb," she said politely.
"The pleasure was all mine," I said looking back down at the report. I looked up and saw her begin to walk away. "Oh Carissa, one last thing," I called.
"Yes?" she said, looking back at me confused.
"After you drop off his lunch could you come back to my office?" I asked. A pit formed in my stomach, my success hinged on her coming. "I know you have to go somewhere after but I'd really appreciate it if you dropped by real quick."
"Oh, um, sure?" she replied back. "I guess I could spare a few minutes, why?" She looked up at me. "Did something bad happen?" A hint of nervousness showing in her voice.
I laughed, "Nothing like that Carissa, I just wanted to have a quick word with you," Relief washed across her face. "Just don't tell David about it, alright?"
Carissa nodded, a look of confusion visible on her face. She glanced at me one last time before leaving my office. I bit my lip, watching her hips sway as she walked away.
I watched enviously as Carissa hugged David from behind, giving him a peck on the cheek. She leaned against his desk and began chatting with him, leaving the lunch beside his computer.
I waited nervously, if Carissa decided to tell David about our 'quick word' my plan was done for. She hugged him one last time and began to walk back. I quickly looked back down as if busy reading over the report.
The sound of footsteps grew closer, I glanced up, seeing Carissa standing at the doorway. I couldn't help but smile, I was one step closer to achieving my goal.
"I'm here Mr. DeKalb, what is it you wanted to talk about?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
"Yes Carissa...please take a seat, and make sure to close the door behind you," I watched as she walked in and closed the door before sitting down, her hands resting on her lap.
We sat in silence for a few seconds. I smiled at her sympathetically, enjoying the way she looked sitting in my office.
"The reason I asked you to drop by is because of David, more specifically his performance at work"
She smiled, not understanding what I was implying.
"Well let's just cut to the chase Carissa, your boyfriend is the absolute worst intern I have hired in the past year," I paused taking in her shocked expression before continuing. "He's always slacking off, always late, and he mocks me by turning in this sorry excuse of a report?" I said, holding it up for her to see.
"I don't understand..." she stammered, looking up at me shocked.
"Let me put it another way Carissa, I have a meeting with the partners tomorrow and the chances of your boyfriend being here next week are very low," I paused, letting my words sink in. Her once calm demeanor had changed into one of nervousness. She looked down at the ground and then back at me.
"This doesn't make any sense..." she said. "David would have told me if something was wrong at work,"
"And what would he have told you?" She began to talk but I pushed further, interrupting her. "That he's terrible at his job, that he doesn't get any work done when he's here?"
