***Author's Note: Hi everyone! After reading on here I finally wanted to try and write something myself. Please enjoy, check the tags to see if it'll be your cup of tea so you don't read something you don't like. Three asterisks *** means the point of view is switching. Just note that this isn't a fast climax, I want to build up the story and the characters a bit slowly, so if you're in for a good, longish read, this is for you! Long term goals are I want this to have several parts, and it'll kind of be a non-con/petplay/romance thing? It's just starting out a bit slow. This is my first story so please feel free to leave me constructive criticism, telling me what's good and what isn't. Thank you and please enjoy!***
"
What
?!"
"Yeah, a bit shocking, isn't it?"
"No, there's no way they went with an outside hire for that position!"
"I'm telling you, he did. Who knows why? I guess we'll find out."
No no no. This couldn't be happening.
I
had wanted that position. I had
worked
for that specific position for God knows how long.
I'm Jace Robinson, 35, and I've been working for the same company for nearly 15 years now. Fresh out of college, I took this job as what I thought would be a stepping stone for a better career. But, to my surprise, I liked it here. The people were kind, the work wasn't hard, and my schedule was lenient. But still, I wanted more. Accountant Executive position, higher pay, even less work, a cool office all to myself away from the cubicle drones, and it was a small promotion away from being relocated to corporate. Then, only then, I would be living the cushy life.
After 15 years of slaving away, sucking up to people, doing my job well, coming in on time, staying after hours, the old geezer in the position retired. I saw my opening. I submitted an application to my manager the day after the former executive announced his retirement. My boss Mr. Bell was kind, there wasn't a shred of doubt in my mind he liked me enough to promote me. Even as I handed him my application with my resume (he already knew my work history, he'd seen it with his own eyes!) he spoke to me those fateful words: "I have a good feeling about this application," and gave me a kind smile.
My chest was tight and my heart was pounding as my coworker told me the executive position had been filled only a week later. An outside hire.
Why? Why would he say that to me and then hire someone we'd never heard of? That was MY job. Everyone knew that's what I was aiming for.
To be honest, I don't even think anyone else submitted an application out of respect for me. Who? Who was this new worker? Why were they taking
my
job? In the heat of the moment, the moment my entire day turned sour as well as my hope for the future, I knew one thing - I'd give this new person hell.

The air was cool this morning as I walked from my car to the doors of my new workplace. My black high heels clicked on the sidewalk as I cleared the last stretch of sidewalk and walked through the sliding glass doors. It was a huge building, belonging to several unique companies, my new job's offices spanned the sixth through eighth floors. I made my way to the elevators and waited behind the crowd of people. It finally reached the bottom floor, and around 5 or so of us piled in.
After a few moments of silence it began to move, and I took this opportunity to smooth down my clothes to look as presentable as possible for my new employees. I had specially bought a few pairs of new heels and a few nice dress outfits - today I had on a short sleeve white blouse and a black pencil skirt that ran to my mid thigh. Underneath it was just a comfortable thong, black semi-transparent pantyhose, and of course my heels which added around four inches to my 5'6'' frame. My mid-length black hair was freshly washed and brushed with just a few curls hanging down. Nothing else was on my person except for my phone, a messenger bag with my laptop and other personal belongings. I felt a tad naked surrounded by all these people in the elevators wearing full three-piece suits and carrying large briefcases.
The elevator made a few stops, and eventually there were only two people left, me and a tall man. I swayed a bit back and forth as he stared at his phone. I wonder if I'd be working with him? We were almost at my floor, so it was possible! I tried to steal glances at him in hopes he wouldn't notice.
He was a good head taller than me, I just made it up to his shoulder. He wore a standard black suit, white shirt underneath, and black tie. Black slicked back hair, glasses, clear skin with just the smallest hint of a 5 o'clock shadow. He was nice looking for sure-
Ding!
My new floor. I felt a huge wave of anxiety in my stomach as I realized it was time to go and face my first day of work. The doors opened and I stepped out fast, I was greeted by the familiar surroundings I encountered during my interview, I knew I would get to know this place well. I made my way to the receptionist's desk and the woman greeted me with a smile.
"H-Hi, I'm Charlotte Scott, a new worker, I-"
"Ah, yes! The new executive! Please come right this way, Mr. Bell has been expecting you. You'll be leading a meeting today introducing yourself I believe..."
My mind drifted as soon as she said Mr. Bell. Mmm. Mr. Bell. I was so nervous for my interview, but he was so kind and listened to me as I spoke. He was the manager of all three floors for the company, and I think my only direct superior. He was tall, with a kind face, deep voice, and wasn't wearing a wedding band during my interview. I really liked him.
I followed the sweet lady as she gave me a rundown on what would go on for my first day. I gradually grew more nervous as I learned about what all I would do.
I was fine speaking in front of people, even if I was a bit scared when I did. I always knew I'd do well in a position managing people, which is why I lept at the opportunity to apply for this job. I was just browsing Google's job advertisements, and I saw something that didn't have any requirements except for being an adult and passing a background check. I thought it would just be some shift manager position, truthfully I had no idea what the job was for.
After turning up for the interview, which was conveniently a walk-in, I soon learned there had been a problem with the webpage. Most likely the company's fault, it neglected to display that there
