It was Friday afternoon. The end of Rachel's first week in her new job. She was glad she accepted, the people were lovely and friendly, the facilities modern, and her Manager Mark was very kind and patient in showing her the ropes.
It was 5.20pm. Ten minutes to go. Rachel was getting ready to shut down and pack her work away for the weekend when all of a sudden Mark shouted out 'Noooo. Oh Shit !!'. Rachel had never heard Mark raise his voice, and certainly not swear. Rachel asked what was wrong, and he said all the audit files he had sent to the auditors had been corrupted and they had asked for them all again...but needed them by Monday !! 'So, what are you going to do ?' asked Rachel. 'I will have to stay late and recreate them all again as I really don't want to come in at the weekend as I am going to a music festival first thing in the morning'.
The rest of the office staff drifted off one by one and wished them both a good weekend. Soon it was just Mark, Rachel and Colin the Operations Manager left. Rachel could see Mark was stressed and asked him if there was anything she could do to help. Mark replied 'No, I can't ask you to stay. You are new and it wouldn't be fair. Besides, I am sure you have better things to do on a Friday'. Rachel replied, 'Just a meal for one and an evening on the sofa watching TV'. 'I really can't ask' Mark said. 'You are not asking. I am offering. Just tell me yes or no, is there anything I can do to help if I stay ?' Mark replied, 'Well yes, but..' and Rachel cut him off and said 'No buts. That is settled then'. Mark sighed and knew he couldn't win the argument and said 'You are an angel. You will have to let me know how to make it up to you'. 'I am sure we will think of something' said Rachel and went back to her desk to log back on.
Colin then left so it was just the two of them left. Over the next hour, Rachel went above and beyond the capabilities of what Mark had witnessed in the week. By about 6.30 they had completed about 75% of the work required. 'You need a break' said Rachel. 'I will make us a coffee once I have been to the loo'. Rachel put the kettle on and left the office. As she went out, she turned to Mark and said 'back in a minute. Try not to miss me' then winked and walked off.
Rachel returned a few moments later. Mark looked up as she came back through the door, then did a double take. Mark was very observant and noticed that Rachel had put lipstick on, untied her hair so it was down over her shoulders, and he could also tell the two top buttons of her blouse were now undone, exposing a bit of cleavage. Mark was professional enough not to have made a point of looking at her boobs all week, but now he was awestruck about how big he realised they were. Rachel caught Mark looking so he had to say something. He stammered and said 'oh, wow you look much nicer with your hair down'. Rachel pushed her glasses to the end of her nose and gave Mark a stern look and said, 'so you are saying I don't look good with my hair up ?'. Mark stammered and tried to dig himself out of the hole and said he thought she looked great all the time, then apologised for saying that as it was inappropriate as he was her Manager. Rachel laughed and said she was just teasing.
Rachel went to the break room then after a few minutes returned with two cups of coffee. The steam was rising from the cups and Rachel said to Mark 'do you like things hot and steamy in the office ?' and winked with a glint in her eye, As Rachel walked back to her desk she knocked some papers off the corner of Mark's desk and playfully said 'oops' and bent down right in front of him to pick them up. Rachel had on a grey skirt that stopped just above the knee, but as she bent down she deliberately pulled her skirt up slightly revealing what was the top of stockings as he could also see the attachments that would fasten at the top to a suspender belt. Mark just stared at Rachel as she made a point of delaying picking the papers up and thrusting he bum back deliberately. Mark could see how lovely her legs were and her shapely bum. He knew after he took her on she was in her mid-40's but seeing her now with her lovely legs, gorgeous bum, large boobs and gorgeous dark hair flowing over her shoulders, he knew Rachel was a lot more attractive than women half her age. Mark was 49 himself and would never even look at a woman under 35. He considered it creepy to find anyone attractive that was young enough to be his daughter.
