Without knocking, Morgie waltzed into my office on a late Monday morning wearing a pink tank top, blue shorts, and diamond studded flip flops. "Hey Daddy-O, what's shakin'? Why is it so fuckin' hot in here?"
I gave her a glare from my desk and put up my hand, palm out: she'd interrupted a multi-national teleconference. The faces on the screen were a little puzzled, and I rushed to make amends, "Pardon me, friends, my daughter just walked in without knocking. You have my offer; I'll give you five minutes to think it over and discuss it among yourselves. In the meantime, I'll punish this child appropriately."
A couple of the faces gave me a knowing look: I knew they had nineteen year old daughters themselves, and understood. The rest got back to pondering, and I muted everything, leaving my chair and going out to wag my finger at my youngest little girl. "Why didn't Lydia stop you from bouncing in here?"
"She's on her coffee break. Daddy, she's scary, she frightens me."
"That's her job, frightening people who want to see me. I pay her well to be ferocious."
"I'm sorry," she wined, her shoulders drooping. "I didn't mean to screw up your meeting."
"We'll talk in a minute or two. You need to stay quiet and out of sight so I can tell them I sent you away."
She plopped down on a couch and put her finger over her lips, smirking. I straightened my tie and went back to my overstuffed chair. Taking a quick look, I saw my hair was all right and I still looked good. Usually every day at my corporation is casual unless we're having a big meeting with outsiders. Then we dress for success and use everything in our arsenal to make the deal. Morgie gave me a wink of approval and a huge smile, which made me feel ready to go.
Unmuting my computer, I returned to the meeting. "Once again, I am sorry for the interruption. I promise you, I'm going to turn her little butt red for this. She's gone, and we can talk. What say you? Do we have a deal?"
Morley Flanaghan nodded solemnly. "Yes, Bill, we have a deal. Have your legal department draw up the paperwork with the additions we agreed to and we're good to go."
Molly Bush nodded as well. "This will be good for all of us. I look forward to meeting you in person sometime. You do live up to your legend."
"Thanks, Molly. What about you, Fred?"
"I'm good, Bill. Thinking it over, I'd be a fool to say no. Wonderful job. I'm in."
"Thank you friends and neighbors. I'll get Lydia working on the details and you'll hear from her by closing time. See you in Bermuda, two weeks from today."
"Yes." The other participants were nodding as well, and soon all were signed off except Morley. He had a funny look on his face. "Hey, Bill. Put a camera on while you spank her? Pay you top dollar."
I shook my head. "You pervert. Why should I do that? Can't you find enough of those videos on your own?"
"Hey, you show me yours and I'll show you mine. You always like looking at my little Brenda's butt when we're at the beach."
"Brenda is twenty five, married with three kids now, and you're still spanking her?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "She likes it. I like it. Robbie doesn't mind."
"Pass."
"Suit yourself." Morley was always a bit of a creep. Closing the window, my hand flew to my throat where I undid my tie and undid the top button of my shirt.
Morgie came over and sat on my lap, looking at me with her rich brown eyes. "Does Morley still spank his daughter?"
" I guess so. Lydia said she saw him doing it five years ago when his daughter was at Harvard. Made her come to the corporate retreat so he could do it."
"The bastard."
"Yeah, I try to screw him over every deal I make with him."
She smiled and nodded, then looked puzzled. "How come Lydia saw it? Does she spy for you?"
I nodded my head. "Among other things, she's very useful in many different ways, she's my multi-tasker. How was Oregon?"
"Boring. It was beautiful and everything, but Tay-Tay and I remembered after a day we aren't really into nature that much. So we flew down LA and hung out there."
"Did you see the eclipse?"
"What's an eclipse? Hey Daddy, do you keep in warm in here so everybody will wear less clothing?"
I shook my head. My little girl surely isn't a Rhodes scholar. "What do you think?" I asked with a self-righteous smirk.
