Luv Karen

HR sent round yet another reminder that the new policy on supervisors and staff dating was zero tolerance and the penalty was dismissal. Frank wondered if that would stop Anna making flirtatious moves with her eye lashes, he hoped not, still he wasn’t her direct supervisor so perhaps he was still a target. He enjoyed Anna’s short skirts far too much. Budget time rolled up, Anna’s section was cut back so they let her know that her contract wouldn’t be renewed. Frank on the other hand had been given more resources, well why not Anna knew the company and how they worked besides it would be an internal staffing with fewer restrictions, he drifted by Stephanie, one of the pool of admin people he knew well and was discreetly allowed a look at Anna’s C.V. He got in well with the admin staff but always had a problem when the office manager was away working out which member of the terrible four as they were called jokingly had signing authority since they took it in turns. They had an apartment together and shared clothes which made Frank’s life more difficult as they tended to merge together in his mind.

He saw her in the coffee room “Anna, HR are chasing me for some paper work if you have a couple of minutes?” She followed him into his cubical. “Could you sign at the bottom?” She looked it over then signed. “I can see a start date on the contract but it doesn’t say how long its for.” “It says indeterminate doesn’t it?” “Does that mean they haven’t made their minds up?” He chortled, “No it means a permanent job.” She swayed towards him and kissed him firmly on the lips rubbing her body up against him and slipping her fingers to do delightful things round the back of his neck. “I don’t think HR would approve.” She pouted “I’m not kissing them and you aren’t my supervisor yet.” He yielded to temptation and kissed her firmly on the lips before putting her down. “I think we should be careful though.”

When she started working for him he noticed she wore her skirts a little longer. He looked questioningly at her and she read his mind as she often did. “Permanent members of staff are respectable, short term contract staff need shorter skirts.” She worked well with him in a very professional manner but just occasionally she’d surprise him like the time when she came in wearing a below the knee skirt, it was only when she got up to go home that she crossed her legs and gave him a glimpse of stocking underneath laughing at his reaction as she slipped out of the door.

The auditors descended from central office and needed two cubicles for a fortnight. It was a planning time on his project so Anna innocently suggested they borrowed two laptops and worked in his apartment for the fortnight. Well it was innocent for about the first thirty seconds after she arrived, left a suitcase on rollers by the door and took off her coat. “What’s in the suitcase?” “Just my clothes for the week, it seems such a waste to go home each evening. My its warm in here.” Anna unzipped her dress and stepped out of it. “Aren’t you going to give me the conducted tour?” They got as far as the bedroom when Anna innocently said “Are you sure you’re not feeling too warm?” as she undid his shirt buttons.

Working without the normal office interruptions they did manage to get all their planning done somehow and eventually they returned to the office to catch up on the gossip in the coffee room where Tiffany was holding forth saying how her boyfriend had had to go out of town so she and Stephanie had gone to a great pop concert using boy friend’s ticket on Friday night when one of the managers from HR walked in and showed Tiffany a movie on her tablet. Tiffany went white. “According to the records Stephanie was your office manager on Friday and this was taken that evening. That looks like supervisor dating to me.” Frank glanced at the screen and saw Tiffany and Stephanie swaying to the music, pursing their lips and just touching their lips together whilst waving a drink with a straw in it around that had been recorded on someone’s phone. Amber, one of the terrible four blurted out “What about them.” Pointing to Frank and Anna, “He’s wearing an ironed shirt, they must have been doing far more than kissing.” Frank saw his career go down in flames before his eyes. “Well yes but we’re living together.” Interrupted Anna. “So?” demanded Amber, “Well the company doesn’t discriminate between couples cohabitating and being married does it?” The HR manager agreed “Well yes since the no dating rule isn’t applied to a married couple that means it doesn’t apply to those who live together as well I suppose.” Stephanie stepped up to Tiffany and gave her a deep French kiss much to Tiffany’s amazement. “Don’t tell me they live together as well? Well since we have a no discrimination policy about same sex relationships I’m sorry to have bothered you have a good day.” The HR manager wondered off. “And just what am I suppose to say to Dave if he hears about this?” Whispered Tiffany, “You still have a job perhaps?” murmured back Stephanie “Perhaps we should try kissing again sometime but somewhere more private.”
