**Author's note:**
When the boss told Nikki to keep the client happy, he should've been more specific. A drink, some dinner, polite conversation? Sure. But Nikki's idea of "client satisfaction" comes with heels on, tits out, and a performance that seals the deal every time.
This is her introduction - the corporate bombshell/executive assistant with a dirty streak, and zero shame. Welcome to the world of Nikki Love.

Nikki's Client Services
Nikki Love stood at the arrivals gate of Heathrow's Terminal 5, corporate iPad tucked under one arm, figure-hugging navy zip dress clinging to every curve. The neckline plunged just enough to draw attention without breaking company policy. Her electric-blue heels clicked smartly on the polished floor, sunglasses pushed up into her fresh blonde blowout.
No one would dare challenge her dress choices anyway. Not when she ran the CEO's office like a war room. Or when she booked the travel, smoothed the egos, massaged the margins - and knew more secrets than HR. Whatever anyone thought, she was unashamedly good at her job. That's why her boss, Tom, the company's chief exec, simply refused to hear a bad word against her despite whatever
indiscretions
there might be.
She was probably in her late thirties or maybe early forties - though no one seemed to know for sure. Her age was a tighter-kept secret than her sex life, which seemed ripe and plentiful from the many office stories.
Whatever her age she looked good in it. The kind of woman who knew her best angles, and made sure you saw them. Her tits were impossible to ignore: big, surgically perfected, and framed to provoke. A silver pendant nestled just above the swell of her cleavage, catching the arrivals hall light like bait. Her legs, toned and tan, poured out from the dress's high-cut hem and into stilettos that looked more like instruments of destruction than footwear choices.
Ink curled along the top of one arm and peeked from under the edge of her dress - florals, serpents, and dirty little secrets. She wasn't classically beautiful. She was something far more dangerous: sexy as fuck, self-assured, and fully aware of the power she carried in her walk, her smile, and her no-nonsense attitude to everything - and everyone - she did.
Nikki didn't need approval. She collected reactions and weaponised them. And right now she was on the clock, which meant someone was about to be very well looked after.
The arrivals board flickered: BA335 from Paris - LANDED.
A few minutes later, she clocked him.
Luc Moreau. French. Mid 50s. Distinguished without being too polished. He moved like a man used to long-haul flights and better-than-average upgrades. His suit was creased just enough to be real. His hair was touched with grey at the temples, and he had eyes that were alert and curious - the type that noticed more than you expected.
Nikki stepped forward with a warm smile and a practiced flick of her wrist.
"Mr Moreau? Nikki Love. Executive Assistant to Tom Warwick."
He shook her hand - firm grip, brief smile, no wasted motion.
"Luc, please," he said, voice rich with Parisian edge. "And thank you for coming to meet me."
"Welcome to London," she said. "The car's waiting. Let's get you checked in before you melt."

The Thursday evening traffic crawled as usual, but Nikki didn't mind. The company pool car had aircon, leather seats, and a bluetooth speaker she could control from her phone. Luc sat in the passenger seat, quietly watching the city unfurl through tinted windows while Nikki narrated it with the easy rhythm of someone who knew the patch and owned her role.
He asked a few polite questions. She answered them smoothly, with just enough humour to keep things light.
But occasionally - when she thought he wasn't looking - she'd glance across and see his eyes on her legs, or the outline of her tits beneath the straining material of the dress. She didn't adjust its hem, nor did she pull her neckline higher.
She just smiled to herself and kept driving.
Luc didn't flirt. But he didn't look away either.
Nikki pulled up outside the Granville Hotel in Soho just before seven. Smart but not flashy, it was a solid four-star corporate favourite. She parked the car and escorted Luc through check-in with quiet efficiency.
Once he had his keycard, she walked him to the lift.
"Room 604. You've an hour until dinner. Tom apologises for not being here to meet you on arrival, but he's travelling back from meetings in the Midlands. I'll meet you in the bar downstairs at eight to take you through."
Luc gave her a faint smile. "Not joining us?"
"Just the chauffeur tonight, I'm afraid," she said with a wink. "Tom will be waiting in the restaurant so you can get straight down to business. We know how busy you are."
But when eight o'clock struck, there was no sign of Tom Warwick.
Nikki checked her phone again. Nothing. She and Luc waited at the marble-topped hotel bar, each with a drink in hand. Hers was a gin and tonic, extra lime. His, a neat whisky.
"He should be here by now," Nikki murmured, glancing at the door.
Luc took a slow sip. "Maybe he's running fashionably late."
"Not normally his style," she said, biting the inside of her cheek.
Then her phone rang.
She saw the name and excused herself, stepping outside into the warm evening air.

"Tom? What's going on?" She asked.
A pause. Then her boss's voice came down the line in a flustered rush.
"Massive accident on the M25. Jackknifed lorry. Nothing's moving. I've been sat here for forty-five minutes and there's no end in sight."
"Shit," she muttered scanning the hotel lobby, already knowing what was coming.
"I'm not going to make it. Can you...."
She interrupted. "I've got him here at the hotel. He's already had a drink."
Tom exhaled, and Nikki could hear the panic soften into resignation. "Right. Look, just explain. Apologise for me, will you?"
"Course, Tom."
"And maybe...maybe sit and have dinner with him? Keep him company, unless you have somewhere to be?"
Nikki hesitated. She
had
made plans, but the job came first. Most of the time.
"No problem, Tom," she said. "I'll look after him."
Then came the caveat.
"But just dinner and drinks, yeah? Not...Nikki-style entertainment."
She laughed, low and unbothered. "You wound me."
"Just...don't fuck the client. Please."
She smirked. "No promises, boss. Wouldn't you like me to close the deal?"
