11 - Alex

"David! I cannot believe we're having this conversation!" Alex yelled into her computer monitor.

"Just keep out of this one Alex. This is different," David warned, a clearly closed look on his face. "It won't interfere with you or your work."

"How the fuck can you say that? You were fucking my PA when I distinctly asked you not to...AND you agreed!" She smacked her palm against her forehead in frustration.

"I know what we said and what we agreed but as I said, it was a one-off and is inconsequential to you....just leave it and all will be fine."

"I'm going to kick your ass to the moon and back when I see you next." She narrowed her eyes at him. "And because I have more pressing things to discuss I shall address your inability to control your dick at a more opportune time." Alex paused, "now, has Jeanette and her team sifted through the contracts with a fine-tooth comb?"

"Yeah right." He laughed. "You talk like a true fighter.....and yes she's had a look and we need to clarify a few points - the indemnity amount is of concern and we just need to ensure we have coverage for it. It's more complicated than initially thought but Jeanette believes she will be able to finalize it well before the due date."

"Ok just keep me posted. I'll let you be the judge of it as I think we both agree we don't want to lose this deal but screw ourselves over at the same time.....although considering your latest judgment call...."

"Fuck off Alex." David growled at her, "low blow, pun and all but you know better than to make a comment like that."

Alex let it go, knowing how her lines had almost been crossed, albeit accidentally, with Cal.

"How are they determining who gets what company?" David interrupted her thoughts.

"Well I'm about to head down to Serkos now to discuss it with Shane Payton, I don't think either of us has met him yet but he's the programme manager on the Serkos side. Then tomorrow I meet Kerry O'Shea, his counterpart from EoN."

"Don't they have the executive programme manager assigned yet?"

"Not yet but they thought there was no reason to delay the meeting and at least meet some of the key players. The final decision will be made by the exec programme manager with feedback from Shane and Kerry.

"Ok well good luck - knowing you, I know you'll attempt to break his balls." He smirked.

"I'll sure try!" She grinned, ending the call and grabbing her bag to head across to Canary Wharf.

"Get your hands off me before I grab your balls and twist them blue!" She forcefully said to him. Reeling from what was playing out. Shane had his hand grasped high around her thigh as he sat next to her on the couch in his office.

"I'm sure you know that this could be a mutually beneficial meeting for both of us. I stroke your back and you stroke....me." He smirked at her. "You're a smart girl and know what's the best move I'm sure." His grip slid higher, edging towards the 'V' between her thighs. Giving her leg a firm squeeze he said, "I have my meeting soon with one of Cal's lackeys - I can just send him on his merry way with a list of 'issues' to resolve before we would consider them for Serkos."

"Get your fucking hands off me. Don't make me repeat again!" She ground out, turning to look through the door to the reception nervously and keeping her voice low.

Shane followed her gaze to the door. "Don't worry, Sophie's out to lunch and I'm not expecting anyone for half an hour. Plenty of time to use those luscious lips of yours in a more pleasurable way...." He said connivingly, adding, "you will have my full support to be on the Serkos side of the implementation and win the deal at the end." His hands now rubbing up and down her leg.

Thinking quickly on her feet, Alex decided to play along for a bit and bait him. "How about if you show me support and ensure I land the second phase then I'll show you what this mouth can do..." She looked at him coyly. She'll fucking bite his balls off with her teeth - that's what.

He looked pleased, hearing her change of heart. "You drive a hard bargain," he laughed. "How about I send a few emails rapturously praising your team's capabilities and when you're given Serkos, I get to fuck your luscious mouth....then when you win the deal, I get to fuck that luscious body." Shane stroked her thigh giving her a lascivious grin.

"But until then, no touching and no..." Alex was unable to finish her sentence due to interruption at the door. She reacted instinctively and jumped away from Shane.

"I see that I've arrived at the most unfortunate time." Alex looked up to see a look of utter disgust and condescension on Cal's face while Shane removed his hand from her thigh.

Collecting himself, Shane rambled out. "Uh....um....what are you doing here Cal? I thought I was to meet Phil?"

"I decided to come instead for such an important discussion....as I see Alex has also done....." The disdain in his voice and written on his face. Alex sat mortified, playing back the discussion in her mind, wondering how much he had heard.

"Please excuse me, I need to get back to my office." She got up to leave but Cal reached out to grasp her wrist firmly. She suppressed a wince, looking up at him questioningly.

"We still need to meet and finalize paperwork Alex. I'll drop by your office shortly since you're going to be there. Some of us need to work for it." He sneered at her indicating that he had heard enough. His grip tightening around her wrist.

"Fine," she snapped. "I'll see you at my office." Alex grabbed her things and marched out of Shane's office. She knew that he would just assume he understood what he saw but she couldn't give a rat's ass. As long as he didn't interfere with her agenda and her team, he could have as many assumptions as he liked.
