I was nervous as I entered the conference room. Uncle Aaron must have sensed it so he told me that I don’t have to say anything and just observe. He might have to introduce who I am, but that was it. I held my chin up and pretended to be confident. After all, I’m good at faking it. Well, I never fake it in the bedroom, I never had to, but everywhere else, it just comes naturally to me. Immediately, I got a few curious looks from the people who are already seated around the table. I heard a few people whispering to each other
Uncle Aaron had me take a seat to his right. I still had the dossier in my hand and pretended to read it as I sat. I was reading it, but I was too distracted to understand what it actually said.
Uncle Aaron moved to start the meeting but he was immediately interrupted by a smug looking man in a navy blue suit. He was wearing a green tie which didn’t match his ensemble at all. He looked arrogant and seemed to have a permanent snigger on his face.
Aaron: “Good morning everyone. For today’s meeting--”
Smug Looking Man: “Aren’t you going to introduce that beautiful young lady right next to you? Is she your new secretary?”
My ears suddenly turned red as he referred to me as a secretary. I felt insulted since I know that I am part owner of the company and essentially his boss. I was about to talk when Uncle Aaron motioned with his hand for me not to.
Aaron: “Well, Mr. Andanar, this is Miss Krista Janine Montemayor. She’s the only daughter of our Chairman and CEO Antonio Montemayor, which makes her my niece. Starting today, she will be observing our day to day operations and so she can learn the business until she officially joins the company.”
Mr. Andanar: “Well, my apologies. I didn’t recognize her in those clothes. She usually appears in more revealing clothes in the news.”
He laughed derisively and even encouraged those sitting close to him to laugh along with him. I just maintained a stoic face. This Mr. Andanar must be one of the men who are trying to get my dad ousted as the Chairman and CEO of the company. I hated him immediately.
Aaron: “Well, now that you know who she is, let’s start with the meeting--”
Mr. Andanar: “Well, why don’t Miss Montemayor tell us a little something about herself, like maybe what’s her favorite color, or what drink she usually orders when she goes to bars, that kind of stuff.”
I looked at Uncle Aaron and he nodded slightly.
Krista: “Good morning everyone. As my uncle mentioned, I’m Krista Janine Montemayor, I’d prefer if you call me Krista. My favorite color is pink and I don’t usually order drinks in bars, men buy them for me. I don’t think that’s appropriate information to discuss during a meeting anyway, but Mr. Andanar seems to be curious about it. Now, why don’t we satiate his curiosity and go around the room and discuss what everyone else likes to order when they go to bars? Why don’t we start with you, Mr. Andanar?”
I can hear Uncle Aaron chuckling a little while Mr. Andanar seemed surprised with my response. He cleared his throat before he responded.
Mr. Andanar: “Well, Krista, I don’t go to bars, and like you said, we shouldn’t be discussing that in a meeting. What I’d like to know is how qualified are you to observe our meetings? I’m pretty sure you haven’t even stepped into the office until today.”
The way he said my name made my ears turn redder than it already was. I summoned all my energy to stay calm before responding.
Krista: “If you must know, I have a BA in Business Administration from the University of the Philippines in Diliman where I graduated as Magna c*m laude. I also have an MBA from Emory. I would gladly send you a copy of my transcript and diploma if you like. In return, I’d appreciate it if you could send me a copy of your resumé. I’m curious to know what your qualifications are.”
I heard light murmurs around the room as they heard my response. Uncle Aaron lowered his head while trying to suppress a laughter. I was waiting for Mr. Andanar responded but he seemed tongue-tied, so I decided to talk again.
Krista: “Well, if Mr. Andanar does not have any more questions, why don’t we proceed with the meeting? The floor is yours, Mr. Montemayor.”
I gestured my hand toward my
Aaron: “Right. So, for today’s meeting…”
The meeting finally started and I tried my best to focus and take notes, but the sniggering man kept looking at me contemptuously. Uncle Aaron is right. He must be feeling threatened by my presence in the office so he tried to discredit me right away. Unfortunately for him, I don’t get rattled easily.
When the meeting was finished, some of the participants made a move to introduce themselves to me, and I shook their hand as I tried to remember their names and positions. I wasn’t sure which ones are my dad’s allies, and which ones are trying to remove him from his position.
Mr. Andanar finally made his way to me, I can sense his displeasure as he shook my hand and did some small talk.
Mr. Andanar: “I heard your father had a heart attack. I hope he’s doing better.”
Krista: “He is, thank you for your concern. I just visited him before heading to the office this morning. He briefed me a little on what to expect in the office.”
My dad didn’t tell me anything about the office, but I thought this would bother Mr. Andanar, and I was right. I noticed his eyes dilating a little as he was probably wondering what my dad told me about him. He cleared his throat before talking once more.
Mr. Andanar: “Well, that’s good to know. I guess I’ll be seeing you around the office from now on.”
Krista: “You definitely will.”
I smiled as I said my last response. It was meant to tease him. He turned around and left as he probably ran out of responses. As I glanced at my uncle, he was chuckling while shaking his head. Our eyes met and I smiled back at him.
Krista: “What?”
Aaron: “You’re something else. You’re going to do really well here.”
I smiled and took that as a compliment. I believe I have established myself as a force to be reckoned with during that meeting. Now, I just need to walk the talk and prove my worth. I wonder how to begin.
After the meeting, I decided to visit my dad and take my lunch break. I wasn’t very hungry so I ordered some sandwiches and I also brought some for Anita when I went to the hospital. My dad was in and out of consciousness but I saw him smiling when he noticed me eat my BLT while sitting next to him. After eating, I went back to the office and headed to Uncle Aaron’s office.
For the duration of the day, I read some more documents he handed over. I observed another meeting which did not include Mr. Anrada, so it was pretty uneventful. By 5pm, I was so ready to go home and take a hot shower. My feet are starting to hurt.
Uncle Aaron will be staying in the office a little bit longer so I went ahead. As I rode the elevator, there were a few people already inside, and I spotted a space in front of a good-looking man at the back. I headed over there and situated myself in front of him. As more people went inside the elevators, I got pushed back towards the man.
As I moved near him, I could smell his amazing scent. He smelled like he just showered, although I know it’s impossible since it’s already the end of the work day. I am getting turned on more as I moved closer and felt his hard body. He was wearing a white button up shirt and slacks. He looks simple, but neat. I wonder if I can take him to a hotel and see what’s under those clothes.
I deliberately moved back towards him and acted as if I lost my balance. This made him hold on to my hips to stop me from falling. I looked back and came face to face with him. My eyes immediately went to his lips. He opened his mouth slightly and I saw his straight white teeth. I bit my lip hoping that he would lower his mouth towards mine.
I felt his breath on mine when he spoke. It smelled amazing too.
Good-Looking Man: “Uhm, miss, we’re at the ground floor. I need to get out. Can you please move?”
I suddenly realized that we’re the only people in the elevator. I smiled and looked forward then moved forward a bit.
Krista: “Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize.”
I was waiting for him to introduce himself or ask my name but he didn’t. He just left the elevator and walked out. I walked out after him. I realized that just like me, he’s headed towards the parking lot. I walked faster and called out to him. He stopped and turned around.
Good-Looking Man: “Yes miss?”
Krista: “Hi, I’m Krista. What’s your name?”
Good-Looking Man: “I’m Marco.”
Krista: “Do you work for KJM Holdings?”
Good-Looking Man: “Yes miss, I do.”
Krista: “I was wondering if--”
Mr. Andanar: “Marco!”
I was about to ask if he was available when we were interrupted by the most odious man I know.
Mr. Andanar: “What are you doing? I have been waiting for a while. What’s taking so long?”
Marco: “Sorry, sir, I was just talking to Miss Krista--”
Mr. Andanar: “Well, Krista. It’s nice to run into you.”
Krista: “I changed my mind. You can call me Ms. Montemayor.”
Mr. Andanar: “Do you have any business with my driver? Why are you talking to him?”
Krista: “No, I was just introducing myself. We met in the elevators and I thought it would be polite.”
Mr. Andanar: “Well, he’s only a driver. The owner’s daughter has no business talking to someone like him.”
He then turned around and had Marco follow him. As I watched him walk away, I couldn’t help but admire his body from the back. He looks good and I can only imagine what he’s packing underneath those clothes. Too bad he’s only a driver.
I drove home to my condo and prepared a bath. I felt so stressed despite the limited workload I had. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t used to working an office job. I did some modeling when I was younger, but I only did that wherever I wanted to. It usually took a few hours and it didn’t require me to use my brain for long periods of time.
When I got out of the bath, I put on a sleeveless tank top and boy shorts. I checked my socials and read some news online. There’s barely any news about me and Miguel anymore, but I read one about my dad getting hospitalized. They mentioned my scandal as if it contributed to my dad’s heart attack. I was thinking that it may have, but not directly. I did something worse that definitely caused my dad’s heart attack.
As I thought of what my dad saw me doing with Uncle Aaron, I couldn’t help but get turned on and think of Marco. I imagined both of us naked and doing things to each other. It frustrated me that somehow I wasn’t able to do what I wanted with him. If only that grumpy old man wasn’t there, I would have brought Marco to the nearest hotel and ride him like there’s no tomorrow.
I felt the need to get laid, so I went to my contacts and sent a message to Gareth. He’s one of the men I usually connect with whenever I feel horny. One would call him my f*ck buddy.
Vanessa: “Hey.”
Gareth: “Hey. DTF?”
Vanessa: “Yes.”
Gareth: “20 minutes.”
This is how our conversations usually go. We already know what we want from each other and we already have an arrangement. Whenever I send him a message, he’ll ask whether I’m DTF (down to f*ck) and he’ll let me know how long it’ll take him to get to the hotel where we’ll have our rendezvous. It’s usually the same one we go to, and it’s about 10 minutes away from my condo, so 20 minutes is plenty of time for me to get dressed and head there.
After 30 minutes, Gareth was on top of me and thrusting his hard c*ck in and out of my wet p*ssy. I’ve already come once and he’s working on giving me my second org*sm for the night. When we both came, he laid down next to me and took off his condom.
We usually don’t talk, we just f*ck, rest, and then f*ck some more. As far as I know, Gareth has a girlfriend, and he’s planning on proposing to her. I’d like to feel sorry for her, but I don’t know her. I expect to continue f*cking Gareth even after he’s married. We don’t talk about it, it was just an assumption.
I met Gareth while attending a birthday party. I didn’t even know whose it was, I just tagged along one of my friends. Gareth saw me across the room and had me follow him to one of the bedrooms upstairs. Within a few minutes, he was pounding my p*ssy. He left his number and told me to message him whenever I needed to blow off some steam. After two rounds, he went back to the party. He actually came there with his girlfriend.
Once Gareth had fallen asleep, I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I put my clothes back on and decided to go to the hospital. I spent the night on the couch inside my dad’s hospital room.
