The words, "Brick Shit House" passed through his mind when he first laid eyes on her.
She was short, only about four feet eleven inches tall, and had straight brown hair that fell to just above her ass. And what an ass!
She was wearing a black mini skirt and a rose colored silk blouse that contrasted against her dark skin. Devon found himself staring at her neckline and wondering how soft her skin would be to the touch.
"Can I help you?" she said again.
She grinned at Devon's obvious discomfort. He figured she was used to being ogled by men. She had the face of a super-model with large dark eyes and a small pointy nose above full lips that were colored a dark red. Her dark brown skin only seemed to accentuate her exotic appearance.
Her body was perfectly proportioned making her look a little like a miniature person with her short but perfectly toned legs, her sculpted ass and A-cup breasts that looked larger on her tiny frame.
"Um, yeah," Devon stammered, "I'm here to see George Moore."
"One minute," she said with a smirk. "I'll ring him up and let him know you're here."
Although her English was perfect, her accent bespoke a British education.
She picked up her phone and spoke quietly for a few seconds, her eyes never leaving Devon as he stood in front of her reception desk.
The desk was large and had a front that was easily ten feet across. It was situated so that it blocked access to either of the hallways leading off on either side of the desk and this girl's job was to ensure that no one got through the front door without being challenged first. With her small body mostly hidden behind the large paneling of her desk it was a little hard to see her upon first entering.
"Mr. Moore will be out in a moment," she said, giving him a sloe-eyed stare that gave Devon a slight shiver. "Can I get you some coffee?"
"Oh," he said, still taken aback by her appearance, "Uh, sure! That would be nice."
She smiled and gestured for him to sit and then went to a small ante-room off to the side. She returned with a porcelain mug and saucer in her hand and she smiled at him as she bent from the waist and placed it on the table in front of him.
"Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you," she said.
Devon couldn't be sure but he thought he saw her eyelashes flutter briefly. He blinked rapidly and began to wonder if he had wandered into a Penthouse Forum letter.
He watched her, completely enraptured, as she returned to her desk and she gave him a sly glance as she turned to sit in her chair.
She disappeared from view behind her massive desk and Devon breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure how long he could stare at this woman without embarrassing himself by getting an erection or something.
He sipped from his coffee and carefully set it down. He took a deep breath and adjusted his pants, hoping that his half-erection would subside soon. He pushed his genitals firmly down his pant leg and then stretched his neck. He saw her staring at him from over the top of her desk and he gave a start.
"Are you okay over there?" she asked.
"Um, yeah," he said and then cleared his throat. "Why do you ask?"
"You seem to be squirming a lot," she said pensively. "Is there a problem with the chair? I could get you another one to sit on if you like."
"Um," he gasped, "no, I'll be fine."
She nodded and grinned impishly. Then her head disappeared from view again and Devon breathed another sigh of relief. He took another sip from his coffee and then stood up when she called it to him.
"Mr. Moore will see you now," she said.
She got up from her chair and then led him through the hallway to her left. She walked slowly like a cat, placing her high heels down deliberately with each step and Devon found himself hypnotized by her swaying bottom.
She stopped at a wood paneled door and gestured for him to enter.
Devon walked through the doorway in a sort of daze and gave another start when George Moore greeted him at the front of his desk.
"Devon," he said. "It's good to see you."
He composed himself as best he could and got settled into the chair. He was grateful that the receptionist was not asked to stay in the room with them. He was sure he would never be able to concentrate if she had.
His resume was pulled out and he was asked many questions about his history, his goals and his accomplishments. George Moore was no fool and his questions were pointed and concise. Devon knew his stuff though and before long they were chatting about lighter topics like old friends.
After about forty five minutes had passed he was offered a position on contract. He would be the office manager and administrator. The entire office staff would report to him and everyone else would go through him to get whatever supplies they would need to do their jobs.
"Now don't be afraid to say no to these guys!" George said. "You know these engineering types. They put no thought whatever into what things cost. They just want what they want and they don't care about budgets or anything else that doesn't look good on a computer monitor."
"I'll be sure and keep them in line," Devon said with a smile.
"Good!" George said. "Now I have to leave for the day so I'm going to ask Pritti to show you around and introduce you to the people here. By the way, she'll be reporting to you too."
"Pritti?" Devon asked.
George grinned.
"The girl you couldn't take your eyes off of when she showed you in here." He said with a laugh. "She didn't tell you her name?"
"No," Devon stammered, abashed that his ogling had been so obvious. "I uh, never asked her."
"Don't worry about it," George said. "She has that effect on all the guys coming through here."
"I'm not surprised," Devon muttered.
***************************************
Close to 4:00 pm Pritti led him to an office on the opposite side of the building from everyone else's. While George and the others had their offices behind and to Pritti's left, his was the only office behind and to her right.
"Wow," he said after checking his bearings and realizing how remote his office was from the others. "I guess I'm all alone back here huh."
Pritti grinned and gently pushed him through the doorway.
