Helen sat in the boardroom chair wet and aroused. She had already gone to the executive washroom to place a mini pad in the gusset of her panties to absorb the excess exudate that flowed from her lubricious hot wet pussy. She couldn't help herself! The exercise of control over the members of the board was an aphrodisiac causing her nipples to ache they were so engorged with her need. It had been almost five years since her son had reintroduced her to the wonder of hard powerful thrusting into her loins. She wondered what the board would think if they knew who serviced their chief executive officer, many who considered her their ice queen of a president. Helen knew the rumors that traversed the company that suggested that she was involved with her highly paid executive assistant Sue, but she also knew that nobody really believed it to be true. No, the overwhelming office gossip was she was a cold bitch who would prefer to open another store, chew out another under performing underling, than think of sex. The word was she got off on reading the ever more successful sales reports.
Tonight she had dominated the board, through statistics, graphs, economy of scale, notes handed to her by her ever-ready assistant, proving beyond any doubt that they should succumb to her latest request, the take over of her old company. It would be a friendly acquisition since the current CEO happened to be her former assistant and company sales manager when she had been the marketing vice-president. He had taken her job when she left. The earnings of her current company's Asian and European operations more than allowed the financial necessities, but the recent decision of the Fed to allow the repatriation of foreign earnings with an unusual tax advantage made it mandatory to act as quickly as possible. Helen already had the approval of her former confederate and with her boards approval she was prepared to move ahead turning her company into the largest hardware company in the world. Yes, Helen was now the most successful CEO in the company's history, doubling the company's size in five years. Recently she had also broadened the company's scope by purchasing a manufacturing plant in China taking advantage of the cheap labor to manufacture their own brand of garden tools. The company's retail arm, in turn, sold them through out the world.
In addition, she planned for her future new senior vice-president, the former CEO of her old company, to begin her next major move. It was risky, but with his help, she knew she could do it. But enough of planning, she thought to herself with a sigh that relieved the tension of the day unfortunately signaling her growing exhaustion to her executive assistant. Sue rushed over with her normal exuberant laughter held in check by her concern for her boss, lover, and most of all best friend.
" Are you all right?" she asked, a hand reaching out to touch Helen's shoulder.
"I'm fine," Helen replied. "It's just the let down after keying myself up to make that presentation to the board. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't there to pass me the files and notes and keep me on track." Helen reached up to pat the hand still on her shoulder and then with a quick glance around gave her a light kiss no more than a peck on the lips but they both knew that to be seen would add fuel to the rumors that already flew about the office. With a deeper wearier sigh, Helen rose from her chair and said, "Let's get home, it's the weekend and I don't know about you but I can sure use one."
Sue laughed and said, "It's more than a weekend you have needed. It's your turn with Chris and I'm sure you'll use it more than once." Then with a salacious wink, she was out the door swinging her hips back and forth in a most suggestive manner. Helen laughed knowing her friend to be so carefully proper when with employees or in front of the board. Sue looked back and started to laugh as well realizing her friend saw right through her lascivious display knowing full well she would never jeopardize their relationship.
Then Sue sobered remembering the only time she ever saw Helen confront the board head on. Strangely it happened over her. Sue's pay, when she started as Helen's assistant was sixty thousand a year but Helen raised it every year. The last time the raise was over eighty thousand dollars making her compensation about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Sue had protested saying it was too much but Helen had insisted telling her that she had tied their compensation to their earning power for the company. Of course, at the next board meeting one of the board members protested at what he felt to be an excessive wage for an employee who was not even of executive rank. The argument went back and forth until it became clear that the board was siding with the board member.
Sue would never forget that day when Helen stood up and asked the board if they were going to decide day-to-day operations of the company. After much to do about nothing, the board informed her that they felt in this one instance that they should overrule her judgment. Helen didn't hesitate a moment. "Gentleman and lady please activate my severance package immediately. Of course, my valuable assistant will also no longer be in your employ. Since I have enjoyed working for this company, I will be most accommodating as to the length of time that you will require to find a new CEO. However, I recommend strongly that you sever our relationship immediately because our chief concern will no longer be the well-being of this firm. As a matter of fact our chief competitor has expressed and interest in our services and since by your decision we will be unemployed my assistant and I will be interested in their offer."
The next half hour was interesting in watching face saving company political maneuvering. Although Helen didn't increase their pay she did manage to make their severance packages more interesting. In Sue's case, severance was two year's pay and in Helen's she added the house that belonged to the company as part of her severance package. Finally satisfied she graciously admitted that possibly she had been a little too hot headed and acquiesced to their requests that she remain their CEO. They all knew she hadn't lost her temper, it was a way to allow the board to save face. Sue later had tried to scold her for taking such a chance but Helen quietly explained to her why she had taken such a stand.
"Sue" she had said, "This was only superficially about your pay. Eighty thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket to this company. No, this was about control. That board member was about to exercise power that I was unwilling to give up. What I decide on a day-to-day basis is how this company is run. The board's power is in the policy and direction this company will take. It is my job only to suggest and then implement their decisions to the best of my ability."
Helen taking the time to teach Sue that day about board meetings was one of the ways they had become such an excellent team. Because Sue now understood that although Helen wanted this merger of companies to take place she knew that they had to convince the board that this was the right direction. They had spent weeks together at home rehearsing their presentation and had even decided on the unusual step of a Friday night meeting so that the board members would be anxious to get home. They prepared for the presentation to go all night if it had to. Fortunately, the board had seen immediately that this was the obvious next step for the company and had approved unanimously.
