Later that day Stephanie was at work preparing for a meeting that she was going to attend in a few hours. She was looking over some papers in preparation for the meeting when the phone rang.

"Yes?"

"Ms. McMahon there is someone here to meet you." Her secretary announced.

"Meet me? I didn't schedule a personal meeting today did I?" Stephanie asked her.

"No, ma'am but he said it urgent that you meet with him." The secretary responded.

"Who is it?"

"Mr. Orton."

"Send him in."

Stephanie closed her portfolio, put the papers away in her drawer and waited for his arrival.

When Randy arrived, she stood up to greet him.

"What the hell happened to you last night?" he asked her.

"Is that how you greet me?" she asked with a sly grin across her face.

"Cut the flirting out. Last night you said you'll meet me later and it never happened. You had second thoughts? Got scared?" he asked her, trying to get an answer. "Randy, that's not what it is. I had business to take care of and… it took longer than I expected." She explained. "I see. And this business… did it have to do with Paul? Because lately you've been telling me how you can't stand him and you run to me for –"

"It wasn't with Paul. I had some personal affairs to attend and it took longer than I expected. I didn't arrive back home till earlier this morning." Stephanie truthfully admitted. Randy was a little skeptical about her answer. She had turned to Randy a while ago due to some arguments she and Paul were having. Their friendship had evolved into something more personal and tried to keep the affair under wraps for fear of getting caught.

"Okay so then you weren't going to ever contact me and tell me to meet up another day maybe?" he asked. "Okay, now you're acting a little too sensitive. I just hadn't had the time, that's all. It was nothing personal against you. You know that. With everything I've been through the past few weeks and the rocky relationship I've been having… it was you who I could turn to. I confided in you. I wouldn't ever throw that away." She explained. "So everything is okay then? Between you and me?"
"Of course. Always was," She said and walked right up to him. Randy chuckled from embarrassment. She leaned over and placed her lips near his ear. "We can still continue where we left off right here right now."

She began to nibble on his ear, turning Randy on, as her hands traveled down his body. He moved closer to her, pushing her body against the edge of the table before lifting her up on top of the table. He climbed on top of the table, getting on top of her and kissed her neck. Stephanie reached from under the table and pressed a button that automatically locked the door.

She hooked her finger into the collar of his shirt and pulled him down. "I'm all yours."

Randy unzipped her dress from behind and as he slowly got it off of her body, he kissed her shoulders and neck. She started unbuttoning his shirt and ripped it off his body before tossing it over her head and giggling. His lips rested on top of hers while their tongues danced together. Randy reached from behind to unhook her bra and threw it onto the floor. He pulled her closer to his body as she gasped and bit her lower lip with her eyes closed. She unbuckled and began to take off his pants. He climbed down and wrapped her legs around his waist then lifted her up and pressed her body against the cold wall, making Stephanie gasp and feel more aroused.
"Take control of my body." She whispered in his ear. She planted a kiss on his lips as Randy pressed his body against hers. Stephanie allowed her body to not resist him, letting him take complete control. He felt her heart pounding which only made him want her more.

A little over an hour later, both began to dress and laughed in disbelief at what had just happened in her office.

"I can't believe I just had sex with you in my office." She smiled. Randy finished buttoning up the last button on his shirt before he walked over to her and kissed her cheek. "I better get going before people wonder what the deal is with the locked door."

He unlocked the door but before he left he had one final thing to say to her. "You deserved every moment of today."
With that said, he left the office and Stephanie fixed herself up before getting ready for the meeting. She opened the drawer to find 2 important things: her portfolio and a small vial of cocaine. She grabbed the files and closed the drawer before she was tempted. She kept her mind occupied by reading the files except her hands were fidgety and she knew she needed something to calm her down. She gave in and opened the drawer and took out the vial. She poured the cocaine out and made a line using her business card. She ripped out a sheet of small notepad paper and rolled it up. She stopped for a moment to think about what she was about to do. She had a meeting in about 2 hours. Surely the small amount would wear off by then, right?

She made her decision.

She sat back in her chair and smiled with satisfaction. She went over to the fridge and took out a bottle of vodka and a small pint of orange juice. She concocted her drink and took a large gulp of it. "Woo. That really hit the spot."

She placed everything back in her mini fridge but had a difficult time maintaining her balance. She placed her hand on the wall to help keep her balance before reaching her seat.

"Ohh… bullshit." She said while looking through the papers for the meeting. She flipped the pages and made faces of disgust. "More bullshit. This is a waste of my time." She said.

The door knocked and it was a member of the Board.

"Ms. McMahon? The meeting is in 5 minutes. Are you prepared?" he asked.

"In 5 minutes? It isn't for another hour or so." She replied.

"No, ma'am, I think you misread the attachment. It begins in 5 minutes. We sent reminder emails and texts to all members attending today."

Stephanie inhaled and closed her eyes.

"You know what," she began and opened her eyes. "I'm not going."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand. You're the Chief Brand Officer." He informed her. "Well I'm choosing not to. It is not mandatory for me to be there, correct?" she asked. "Well, yes, I supposed, but –" he started. "And so if it is an option for me… then why waste my time attending?" she asked him. The Board member did not say a word. Instead he looked down, possibly in disappointment, and closed the door. Stephanie smiled and continued with her drink.
