Chapter 8

19th January 2009 : 9:00 am.

I was so fucking horny. Ever since Emma had given birth to our baby girl, Barbara, she had been different. Distant. A complete shell, nothing compared to the way that she was when we’d first met. I hated to think of myself going down the same road that I did back in college. The one that I’d managed to keep tame from the time I’d declared my love to Emma, and I’d resisted until now. But it kept coming back and screaming out at me.

“Mr. Rogers, she’s here,” Wendy called out on the intercom. I shouldn’t even be at the office. The doctor said that I should stay at home. Emma had lost her mom last year to cancer and I’d thought that grieving would subside once she fell pregnant, but she’d only got worse. So much so, that part of me was worried that she wouldn’t come back to me. The woman that I loved was a faded memory compared to the new one that barely spoke and didn’t make it out of bed every day.

“Send her in,” I said as I recalled that my new assistant was starting today. My last one was pregnant and on temporary leave. Her replacement was outside and she would work in her place until she finished her maternity leave and returned back to work.

I stood up, feeling tired since Barbara had kept waking up through the night and Emma had spent most of her time ignoring her. Our nanny had been great, but it was clear that her role was more than a nanny; she was turning out to be Barbara’s mom whenever I wasn’t at home , seeing to her every need.

I walked to the side of my desk, and I didn’t see her face or even pay any attention to her until she was right in front of me.

“Mr. Rogers this is Li Xiu Ying, she’ll be filling in for Carol for the next six months.”

I nodded as I looked at this Asian beauty in front of me. Carol was a looker too. Blonde, slim and tall. Too tall in fact. Yet, there was something about Li that caught my eye from the start. She had on these glasses with her hair pinned up in a bun. I knew that the moment she set her hair free and took off her glasses that she would turn into a temptress.

I wanted to say something, but my cock did the thinking for me as it twitched as soon as I stretched out my hand to shake hers.

“Nice to meet you Ms. Li Ying.”

I wasn’t good with Asian names and I got the impression that I’d probably pronounced her name wrong, because her face twitched as I said her name.

“Sorry, I’m not good at Asian names,” I apologized as I continued to stare at her like a lovesick teenager.

“Well, just call me Li then.”

“Sure,” I said without hesitation as I tried to clear my throat, because there was something stuck in it.

Wendy, the office manager, all of a sudden uncomfortably said, “I’ll leave you to it. Just shout if you need anything Li, and Mr. Rogers I’ve already got her settled at Carol’s desk.”

I couldn’t take my eyes off Li. I felt as if I was locked in a trance.

“I’m looking forward to working here.” She was caressing my hand which was still embraced in hers. It felt like light feathers going up and down my hand.

“I hope that you don’t find it too daunting.”

She pulled herself closer to me, “I’m sure I won’t. I’m sure we’ll work well together.”

Li dropped my hand and headed towards the door. My eyes were focused on her ass, which moved rhythmically from left to right as if she was listening to a song that I couldn’t hear, but one that she knew how to dance to a little too well. She hesitated as she stopped at the door.

“Will you need me to come in and take notes?”

I shook my head, unable to speak. She loosened the button of her jacket, revealing the shirt that she had underneath. It was see through and left nothing to the imagination.

Swiftly, I changed my mind, “Sure, get the iPad and I’ll walk you through what needs to be done today.”

She didn’t say a word as she seductively took off her jacket. She wanted me to see the top-half of her body, and like a peeping Tom I didn’t hide my admiration for her delicate curves. She smiled and opened the door with her jacket in her hand. I wasn’t horny, any more. I was so fucking hard that there was only one thing to do: go into my bathroom and jerk off with sweet thoughts of Li being butt naked in front of me.
