Back to work - Crowded Elevator Open for F

[Wiley999]

Looking to start the build up in the elevator.
It will take a little creativity and departure from reality as what happens in the elevator probably can't happen in the time it takes to go 20 floors ... but well that's what imagination is for mmmm ?
Stepping into the elevator on my way to my first interview for a sales position. Wearing my pressed white shirt pinstripe suit and black tie with red designs. My gold watch hangs off my wrist near the onyx cuff links that always brought my luck.
The elevator fills up with people on their way to start their day. Peoples eyes stuck in their smart phones. Not sure what could have happened from the garage or train to the elevator that needed their attention but ...
The doors start to close and i hear a pair of heels on the marble floor of the lobby of this high rise building.
I stick my hand out to stop the doors from closing. People in the elevator groan at the 5 second delay. The doors open and i see you standing there < Looking for woman to play this role - perhaps executive ... or incoming intern ... or someone competing for the same job i am ... or someone looking to surprise or be surprised ...>
I look into your eyes and then step back to let you stand in front of me ... the doors close... and i glance up at the numbers as we start our ascent. My nostrils involuntarily flare as i get a whiff of the perfume you are wearing .. i grip the handrail to my left tightly my other hand gripping my briefcase

Sometimes, just sometimes, you get that feeling that someone is watching you and today, standing in the elevator, was one of those sometimes.

But who?

I knew most of the people in the elevator by sight but there was one guy right at the front who was new - he'd held the doors for me and now here I was standing with my back to him close enough to feel his body heat and to smell his cologne.

He'd made eye contact as I stepped into the elevator, just a moment but long enough to like what I saw and to wonder why he looked as if he was feeling nervous.
First day perhaps or an interview?

I smiled to myself at this. I'd scheduled three interviews this morning for my boss and thought it would be funny if this guy was one of the interviewees.
Oh well, maybe not a good day for a chance meeting in a crowded elevator to mean anything.

The bell pinged and I stepped out, passing the reception desk and turning down the hall towards my office.
And all the way down the hallway I could swear someone was watching me.

But who?

Going UP

Trying to focus on the task at hand .. the interview ... It was going to be difficult as the ride up in the elevator has filled my head.

I thought i was being gallant and gentlemanly when i held the door for someone. She stepped in front of me and yes while she was not paying attention and everyone else was looking at their phones or the numbers as they changed ... i took the opportunity to glance down over her shoulder and as she breathed i could almost see heaven ...
Her flesh was smooth and looked warm, well she had been running for the elevator.

Her perfume was soft and gentle but it caused my nostrils to flare and i let out a near audible mmmmmmmmm with my sigh.

It was good that she got out in front of me as I was about to embarrass myself as my cock had grown rigid and was about to poke at her thigh as it stretched straight out in front of me. I was able to cover it with my briefcase as i stepped out.

I followed her .. her swaying hips her confident stride in those heels.

I stopped to adjust myself and my tie as i saw her enter the office i was asked to go to for my interview ... I hoped i would have time to compose myself further. I saw her stride past the young receptionist and as i approached i pushed out my chest confidently and handed the young lady my card and told her i was here for my interview.
She pointed to the waiting area and i took my seat and wondered if I was going to be competing with any other applicants today.

A final check that all was set for the interviews - resumes and CVs - and then we're ready for the first of three today.
I walked back down the hallway to the reception area to call the first candidate and stopped short as I saw sitting waiting there the guy from the lift.
I guess he felt as surprised as I did.

"Mr ....?"

My voice tailed off as thoughts whirled through my mind which then quickly went completely blank. I just couldn't recall his name, just the memory of his gallant gesture holding the elevator doors for me and now, faintly in the room, the smell of his cologne.
Anna the receptionist was looking at me, one eyebrow raised. I knew I had to pull myself together.

"Mr ....? Would you follow me please?"

 

[Wiley999]

Mr

"Porter." i said as heard her voice trail off. I stood up adjusted my silk tie and strode to her and took her hand firmly but gently. " Mr. Porter"

I made sure the lovely woman, who's hand I held in mine was ready to lead me before i released her hand < making a quick check of both hands for any ring or mark of a ring on her left hand >

I nodded i was ready to follow and glanced over my shoulder at the 2 other applicants who i hoped to leave waiting there for an extended period of time as i wanted to make a very good example.

I glanced at the receptionist and caught her name from the name plate at the edge of her well organized desk.
" Anna " Said as one would say good morning and then turned my attention to the legs and hips in front of me and followed them down a hall past a few inhabited offices and past 1 that was empty til we reached our destination.

I stepped in front of the woman and grabbed the door handle to open it for her .. I caught another whiff of the scent she was wearing and it had changed .. it was warmer now and i welcomed the scent with a deep breath.

I stepped into the room and waited for her to direct me to a chair at a desk or at the table ...

Whether or not this very good looking man knew it he’d got off on the wrong foot and I was determined to put him straight before the interview because, ethical or not, I had the feeling that things in the office would be brightened up if Mr Porter was on the team.

But that might, or might not, be in the future.

“Mr Porter,” I lifted my head to look him straight in the eyes.
“Although you have demonstrated your gallantry twice this morning, once at the elevator and again now by holding the door for me, I should let you know that my boss, who you’ll be meeting shortly, takes a very dim view of anything that could be interpreted as a sexist or worse, patronising behaviour.”

I paused for a breath and to collect my courage.
“And any hint of a relationship or liaison in company time will result in instant dismissal.

I paused again, still holding his eyes with mine.
“Do I make myself clear?”

I turned and indicated a chair set before an empty desk on which were three files, one for each candidate.

“Miss Dipthrone will be with you shortly.”

I turned to the door through which we’d entered and spoke before closing it behind me.
“Good luck.” And with a wink I closed the door and crossed my fingers.

I check my electronic diary, another ridiculous schedule of meetings spanning right on into the evening. But first I have to interview for the new position, which is a tedious task but thankfully my amazing personal assistant has done most of the legwork and fine tuned the applicants down to three main contenders.....she never let's me down....what would I do without her!

Let's hope the candidates are better than the last guy in the role.........what a pathetic whimp!

I open the door and walk into my office.......

 

[36b7]

I close the door to the office behind me and walk back down to the reception.
Anna smiles at me and raises an eyebrow.

"Stop it." I say. "He's just another candidate and there's two more this morning."

Anna though knows me better than that and shakes her head knowingly as she picks up the phone to answer a call.

I go into the washroom to freshen my makeup and reapply some lipstick.
"Please." I say to my reflection in the mirror. "Please, just this once."

Waiting and preparring

I watch the lovely lady leave her office closing the door behind her.

I hear her heels clicking on the way down the hall and i get up and go to the window admiring the view of the city below..

I then turn and go to her desk and look around ... looking for pictures of herself .. family . husband .. significant other ... then i begin to open a few drawers in her desk ..
finding the normal office things .. folders .. files ... pens
< perhaps finding something personal ... >

I leave them as i found them and walk around the office some more admiring the decor and the paintings she has selected to adorn her walls ..
i hear her heels clicking, returning to her office and i go back to the window to admire the view below..

I can see her open the door and i can see her figure in the reflection of the glass .. i don't turn around .. pretending to be lost in the view .. but watching her watching me
