"This intern is definitely aware of my fetish." You thought to yourself. After all, after adding up everything, she had entered your office and seduced you with simple feet movement to agree on handling this case together. That by itself was an indicator that she wanted to get more out of this situation. And of course, you, the KING of this place would not allow a simple novice to trample over you, even if she had dazzling feet.
After all, you had worked for years to achieve this position and had more complex situations under control. Even your arch-rival Denise, nor her friend Candice had gotten one on you, and arguably they had as good, if not better soles to allure you with during team meetings, mainly the one that announced your promotion.
Taking all of this in consideration you got out of your trance state and got up to shake Stephanie Beachwood's hand. "It was marvellous working with you, madam. If any questions regarding our marketing assistance to spread your brand further arise, make sure to email me to my personal email. I will answer to you personally!" With that, you smiled at her to leave your office. What caught your attention even further was that when you walked her out you saw that your name was not written on the door, just the position.
"Michelle is a sly fox, I should not take her lightly". You thought to yourself as you tightened up your tie and fixed your hair, walking back to your chair.
"That was amazing Mr James! You are definitely the best closer in the city, I am glad to be learning from you. I think I got what you meant by your top 3 fundamentals of selling." Michelle applauded, as she smiled innocently and childlike.
That, however, did not fool you, as you had seen through her act. With that, you handed her over the report for your next client, Samuel Davis, who had the city's highest quality shoes, regardless of the price and was wanting help with expanding with the eCommerce service your firm had to offer. "Our next client is Samuel Davis, I would want you to assist me with taking him to our side, as he would be a key asset to the company."
"Our next client? That's awesome Mr James! I am so glad to be able to work with someone like you on my very first day" Michelle looked rejoiced, as she got even closer, kicking her right foot, which was still barefoot to your knees. That by itself made you a bit weak, however, you knew that she was playing a role and that was but a facade to humiliate you.
As you gave her the report, you texted your secretary, Jacinta, to get more information on Michelle, as soon as possible, while the cunning intern was going through the report. While you waited for her response, you practised your karate meditation technique to focus on your next client and to better control yourself for what was to come.
10 minutes had passed when you heard a knock on the door, indicating that your next client had arrived. Before you could tell, whoever was at the door to come on in, you saw Michelle drop the report below the desk.
"I am so so sorry Mr James! I have such butterfingers..." Michelle looked at you innocently as she bit her nails, worried at how you might react.
"It's okay Michelle, please hand me over the duplicates which are in the second drawer to your left." You responded, with a confident smirk, knowing she had a scheme to make you lose your concentration.
Michelle's face had turned a tad pale, as she was definitely not expecting you to have other hard copies. She then handed you over the reports from the drawer. "Here you go, Mr James. I am sorry for dropping the rest." She spoke, as a satirical remark could be felt in her voice.
"Come on in, Mr Samuel Davis!" With that the door opened, revealing a 6'2'' tall man, who was in good shape, dressed in a suit, which meant business by the very looks of it. As such you entertained the man for the next hour, presenting him with the options your business could offer, both with combined sales with Stephanie's business, alongside other ways of expanding his current business.
The man was impressed by your presentation and by the options you gave him, which after the time you spent pursuing him, he had finally agreed to partner with your firm. Despite the success you had had, that did not mean Michelle did not try to screw you over a couple more times. As she was rubbing her bare foot from your knees to your tights, to wherever would be possible, to not be seen by the businessman in front of her. That caused you to stutter at given times, but you quickly regained focus back to the topic at hand.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr Davis. If I could help you out with anything else, make sure to contact me on my personal email, I will be glad to assist you, however, I can!" You stood up, proud and confident, smiling back at the man as you exchanged compliments, as he left your office.
With that, you could finally take your break and opened up the window behind you, as you got out the pack of Treasurer cigarettes out of your right pocket. As you were about to lit your cigar, your phone buzzed, indicating that a text from Jacinta, which had all the information you needed about Michelle.
You chuckled to yourself and lit up the cigar as you looked at the window.
What happens now, Junior Manager?
