THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 14

“How and where did you learn to use a computer that comfortably?” I asked her as a matter of curiosity to which she replied with a question. “Is it not right for me to know how to use a computer?” she asked while smiling. “I shall tell you when the right time comes”. She added with a finality.
I did not press further, but there was something mysterious about Sally now. Sally left to proceed with her work.
-------
“These formulas are really giving me headache, been trying to work with them but I cannot seem to get it. Please assist me with them.” Irene requested keenly looking at her computer. “At your service, Madam”, I replied jokingly and Irene’s face brightened with a smile. So I went and stood behind Irene on her laptop to try and assist her with her work. I tried instructing her on what to do, but she seemed unable to get them exactly how I wanted them to work.
“If you don’t mind, let me sit on your chair, stand up for a while and let me work on them.” I told Irene who gladly stood up from her seat. As she twisted herself to pass behind me, her breasts brushed by my right upper hand. I sat and got looking into the formulas. Sure enough, they were complex since they were doing absolute referencing across several cells on different worksheets. But that was easy for me to do. I went on to solve the first scenario, making sure Irene gets to see what am doing in the process. She was really attentive all the time only interrupting me from time to time to clarify the meaning of some functions. The rows were too many though, and since they were different cases one formula could not work across all of them and that meant working on this for about an hour. Irene was as attentive as a student in a class, leaning forward to see what am doing. She was sharp, since she was memorizing them bit by bit though not necessary since the computer has automated functions that can work in any statistical scenario provided you know what you are doing.
As I continued teaching her how to use them, Irene kept leaning closer and closer to my shoulder until her right breast was gently resting on my right shoulder, her head almost parallel to mine. She was chewing a mint all the time. From time to time, she would lean closer to the screen of her laptop thus pressing me more with her right breast, before brushing my shoulder with it as she adjusted herself to be comfortable with one hand resting on the table. 
“Oh! Thank you, Tony, let me try them now”, Irene said, standing up to give way for me to pass. She stood so close to the table such that as I passed between her and the table, my left hip brushed her right hips. She settled on her laptop and got working. We continued talking about our work and she kept saying IT guys are nice guys who always love helping anyone. She would teasingly say from time to time that some of her friends are married to IT guys and they were so happy and romantic couple.
As she continued working, I noticed her face suddenly change as if she was in deep thought. “What is it Irene?”, I asked her, “Are you stuck?”, I continued and she said, “Yes, I need to draw a pie chart clearly showing performance with percentage and I cannot get how to go about it.” But this time, she did not want me to cross over to where she was seated, she just twisted the laptop to face me, she gently pushed it my way and she stood up to lean on the table as I showed her how to go about it inserting a graph. I just wanted her to know, not to do for her so I created dummy data fast to simulate for her the process. As she leaned directly in front of me, her blouse hung lower to reveal a perfectly shaped cleavage folded inside some snug red bras with a silver outline on it. I could not resist ogling at them to a point Irene noticed, looked at me, smiled and adjusted her blouse to reveal less of her cleavage before saying, “Am sorry”. I told her, “Never mind”. But she continued leaning at the same angle and with the movements of her hands from time to time to adjust herself comfortable on the table, her blouse lowered again and she did not bother adjusting it. I just assumed am not seeing them, but to be honest, I was salivating for them. What man does not admire a perfectly outlined cleavage anyway?
After showing Irene how to insert a graph, she went ahead and tried in my presence, missed the process twice but the third time she got it perfectly. I looked at her and told her, “Congratulations, you deserve an award, bright student.” That remark sparked her. She stood up, placed her hands on her chest pushing her blouse to make her breasts protrude a little more from her chest before exclaiming, “wooow, thank you, oh, oh my god, I appreciate you Tony, “she sounded so thrilled at one time I thought she is going to scream. She was reacting like a child who has just learned her first baby step and is just giggling at her parent thinking she has made such a huge achievement in her life. But I could clearly tell she was so happy about her achievement.
“Haha, Irene, is this the first time you got something so perfect?”, I inquired to which she replied, “No, just that am happy I have learned something new today, I only thought only IT gurus can accomplish this, but am happy am able to”.
-------------
Time had passed and it was almost time to leave. Sally came by my office at exactly 5:00 pm so that we can walk home together. As soon as she entered the office Irene asked her, “are you two neighbors? I always see you go together in the evening.” Irene was looking at me as she asked this question. Even before I answered, Irene excused herself to go to the ladies’ washrooms so that we can walk out together on our way home.
That instant she walked out, Sally came and stood up beside me, looking at me as if she wanted to say something. “Remember I told you I owe you?” She said. Before I even asked what is it that she owe me, she reached her handbag, brought out an I-pad. I suddenly remembered the shattered I-pad. “I took this I-pad to be repaired downtown, remember it was my fault its screen got shattered.” She said, looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, feeling rather confused. I wanted to ask her how much it cost to repair it. But I was grateful she did I had completely forgotten about it. I took it, it looked new and I could see it was so shiny, like someone took time to clean it. Immediately I placed it inside my cabinet, I pulled Sally gently and gave her a long gratitude hug to thank her for that gesture. She held me so tightly as if she did not want to let go. I could feel her chest rising and falling gently with her deep breathing. Her breasts felt full as they pressed on my ribs each time pushing me with the rhythm of her breathing. She was embracing me tightly as if protecting me, as if I was some precious thing to her. I too held her, pushed her head to lean on my left shoulder where it remained for some time. I suddenly felt the urge to kiss her and as if we were communicating through telepathy, Sally lifted her head and looked straight to my face, she as a shorter than me and it felt so nice looking at her from above. Her head tilted as if she too expected a kiss. I held her chin, pulled her gently by her waist and she reciprocated by pushing herself into me with more pressure until our abdomens were tightly rocked together. She was so warm like someone who had just come from a hot room. I leaned forward ready to plant a kiss on her now gently parted lips when suddenly, we heard someone screaming from outside my office. We got so startled such that Sally literally pushed me away until I nearly lost my balance. What now?
I rushed outside and left Sally standing in my office only to meet Irene holding a stone. “What is it with you screaming at this time?” I asked Sally and that instant I saw what made her scream. At the parking lot was huge dog, very muscular German Shepard with blood shot eyes directly looking at us, angrily snarling as if about to attack. I felt scared since I knew these dogs are so strong they can tear you to pieces within no time. Just as I was about to tell Irene to run and hide in my office, our gate man came in and whistled. The dog jumped towards him, I thought it was attacking him only for it to start licking his hands.
“Today I came early with a guard dog, sorry it frightened you”, the gate man said motioning the dog to sit, and it obeyed. I breathed a sigh of relief. “It is ok man”. I replied. Irene dropped her stone. She was shaking clearly scared. Sally was at the door this time, but somehow, she was smiling instead of being scared, when I looked at her, she giggled.

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 13
Irene sooner returned to her office. But she kept calling with our office landline to inquire how to use the new system that I had installed in her computer. As if she was really driving a point home; that she indeed needed to stay in my office for a few days in order to learn more. Either way, she was justified since all other employees would at times camp in my office for a day or two to learn any new system that had been introduced via the ICT department. 
------
The following morning as soon as I opened my office Irene came with her laptop. She was wearing a yellow tight blouse, a red mini-skirt that was rather too tight for her buttocks. That day she was really jovial, and talkative too as if she was excited for something, like being in my office was a morale for her to work that day. Immediately she saw me she complemented me, “Oh! Today you look so smart, I like your shirt” she said and touched my collar, I realized she was rather straightening it since I had left home in a hurry did not really bother to even look at myself in the mirror. As she did so, she said, “you need someone to take care of you, I know bachelors are always in a hurry to leave him. Did you take breakfast?” 
That question caught be by surprise. Sure enough, I had not taken any breakfast and I was famished. All I wanted was break time to arrive and Sally to bring me some tea and a few snacks to energize my day. But before I even responded, Irene had fished out some biscuits she was carrying in her handbag and handed me some. I could not decline, I thought it would be so impolite to decline. “Thank you”, I said not really looking at Irene. One thing I could tell, Irene was trying to really be nice to me, a thing I enjoyed too.
So, we settled to work and Irene sat at one of the office chairs on the opposite side of my table directly facing me. She opened her laptop and got working. I could hear her typing so fast, actually, Irene was famed for being the fastest typist in our organization having done secretarial and speed typing courses. But her constant tapping her keyboard was rather exaggerated as if she was doing some interview. Irene was even able to type while not even looking at her keyboard or even while talking to someone and I could notice most of the time as she was typing, she was at the same time talking to me and looking at me. 
I then heard a gentle tap at the door and before I could respond, Sally came in carrying a thermos flask and some cookies as usual. She greeted both of us. I could see she had carried two cups only as usual but now we were 3 of us in the office.
Sally settled to serve us some chocolate drink. Somehow, she had discovered chocolate was my favorite beverage and not the usual tea that we used to take, and she made it a point of preparing me some chocolate instead. Immediately she poured some chocolate on my cup, the whole room filled with some sweet aroma of tea masala which made it so appetizing and refreshing at the same time. I was starving and I just reached for it and began sipping it. 
“Let me go for an extra cup”, Sally said looking at Irene but before she could go Irene responded, “no don’t worry, am ok.” But Sally persuaded her to take some and she agreed to use the extra cup that Sally had come with. 
“How is work?” I asked Sally, motioning her to take the extra chair in the office of which she did. Not that I was interested in knowing about her work, but I just wanted her to stay for some time in my office. 
Sally was wearing a long navy blue dress, pink blouse which had white collars. For some reason, I just felt my heart begin to race seeing her seated there. Her bums protruded clearly on the dress as she sat and in my mind, I was doing comparison, Irene was taller than Sally but a bit slim while Sally who was shorter had larger hips than Irene. Crazy thoughts were racing in my mind.
But we just sat there the 3 of us talking anything to everything ranging from current affairs, previous night news, the weather since it was a bit chilly that day though not really cold. 
“Sally, do you know how to use a comp?” Irene asked Sally. I expected Sally to say no but to our surprise she said, “Yes, I do”. Irene looked at her as if she too expected her to say no. “Can you type?” Irene pressed on. “Oh! Yes, I can type”. Sally answered before asking, “Do you want to see me typing?” Irene replied yes.
Sally confidently stood up and motioned Irene to sit aside. She took the report that Irene was typing and began to type. 
“Waaaao, Sally, I don’t believe!” It was Irene talking. Clearly, she did not expect Sally can type that fast, leave alone use a computer. I was also surprised but pretended not to. Though she as not a fast typist clearly, she was comfortable with the laptop. Sally laughed. “I don’t know much about the computers, just playing around it”. But being in IT, I could tell someone who knew how to use computers just to play and who knew how to work with it. Clearly, Sally seemed like someone who had used computers before.
----------
After sometime, Sally stood up to go. “By the way, Tony, I still owe you”. Sally said. I could not remember what she owed me. Before I could ask what is it that she owe me, she smiled at me, that smile from her that always melts my heart, while at the door and left without saying a word.
“Did you teach Sally how to use a computer?” Irene asked. “No, I did not teach her, in fact I did not know she knows how to use one”. “Hmmm, Tony, tell me the truth, no harm knowing the truth if you taught her she is also our colleague. Seems like she has been working with one. “Irene remarked. I surely did not care since who knows? Perhaps she used to work with a computer before she came to be a tea girl. 
During Lunch time, I had too much to do I did not leave my office. But Sally brought me some lunch, while Irene went to eat some lunch at some café somewhere outside the compound. When Sally found that I was alone in the office during lunch hours, she seemed like she had more freedom to speak more when we are alone. At one time, she even took a spoon and fed me like a little baby before bursting with laughter after some food slipped and fell on my trousers leaving some stain. 
“I will come and wash it for you, don’t worry” she said. I knew she would. I was eager to know more about Sally now. 
“How and where did you learn to use a computer that comfortably?” I asked her as a matter of curiosity to which she replied with a question. “Is it not right for me to know how to use a computer?” she asked while smiling. “I shall tell you when the right time comes”. She added with a finality.
I did not press further, but there was something mysterious about Sally now.

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 12**

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 12
The following morning, Sally as usual passed by my office. “Good morning Tony, you did not reply to my message”. She said. I was surprised. I nearly told her that I got a message but was Irene bebs her name? But that instant, my mind raced and I just took my phone and checked my messages. Sure enough, Sally sent her message at 11:15 PM. I was fast asleep. Before I even tell her I was a sleep she just said, “Its ok, yesterday you seemed so tired may be you slept before then”, Sally said as she wished me a good day and went to her work.
So who is this Irene bebs? I wondered. 
I continued with my work wondering how to go about this boss’ assignment. In the back ground was some blues music that I enjoy whenever am working. Some of the lyrics that were playing made me feel like I wanted to hold someone by her waist and dance with her to the slow rhythm of the soft beats. 
As expected, during tea time Sally brought me some cookies and some tea-masala seasoned drinking chocolate whose scent filled the room with pure sweetness. 
“Tony, can you help me recover my email password? I forgot it and I really need to open it.” Sally said. 
“Oh! Yea, that is pretty easy, take a seat and am going to recover it for you right now, take about a minute or two.” Her face brightened, am not sure which of the two made her happy; recovering her password or telling her to sit down in my office. Luckily, I did felt rather at ease since our boss had not reported to work that day, and I was not sure if she was to come or not. I could also sense Sally was at ease too. 
So, Sally sat and I asked her the last password she entered in her mail; it failed and the mailing system prompted password recovery mechanism. The next step it asked her what was her phone number, I entered her phone number and next question was her birthday, luckily, she had used her real birthday when opening her email address and it just accepted. Then the system accepted a new password and she could log in to her email.
“Wow, you are such a genius, I never thought it could be recovered”. I wish she knew that was part of my job and I have recovered numerous email passwords for staffs in our company. 
Sally did not seem in a hurry to leave, but I also wished she stay a bit longer too. It sure felt nice having her around. Her periodic jokes, a smile every time and her touch on my shoulder made me feel empowered to work more and impress her more, like a male peacock displaying its colorful feathers to impress a female peacock. 
I started ogling at her and I noticed she was wearing a figure hugging long grey dress and a black sweater. Her cleavage was a little visible and her breasts were firmly tucked inside her clothes making a clear mount on her chest. She was smelling nice too and I could tell whatever spray she had used had a lingering effect wherever she passed. 
“Seat right here, log in to your email and see if it is fully recovered.” I told Sally as I excused myself to go to the male washrooms for a while. My telling her to seat there was a tricky way of ensuring I would return and meet her there, but I surely knew that email is fully recovered.
On my way, back, Irene called me to her desk. She was stuck opening a word document and she thought it was corrupt. I realized it had been prepared with Office 2016 version and on her laptop was Office 2007. “I will just upgrade your system, let me go and fetch my hard disk then I will come and sort you out”. As I finished that statement Irene asked, “Why didn’t you replay to my message?” Irene asked.
That instant, I realized she was the Irene bebs in my true caller. “I was dead asleep”, I lied. Truth is, I did not replay since I had not saved her number in my phone, at least this one she used. “Am sorry, next time I will reply”, I answered her smiling and she replied, “Thank you, I thought you ignored me. Anyway, sorry I sent with a strange number that you do not know. That is my personal number only known to my closest friends and relatives only.”
I noticed Irene wanted to follow me to my office to install for her the latest Office system, but since I knew Sally was in my office and I wanted more private time with her, I did not want Irene to come so I persuaded her to wait.
On returning to my office, Sally stood up, poured for me a cup of drinking chocolate and placed for me some cookies on my table. “Thank you, my email is ok now. You are such a nice guy.” Sally said looking at me smiling shyly. “You are welcome, anytime dear.” She took a deep breath as if she wanted to say something but no word came out of her mouth. It was like the word dear caught her off guard.
------------------
I heard a gentle knock on the door, and Irene pushed the door open holding her laptop. 
“Hi” she said to Sally and began talking to me even before Sally replied. “Sorry I couldn’t wait. I really need that program soonest since am finishing up some urgent work.” Irene said as she continued to lean with her buttocks on my office table. She was wearing a brown mini-skirt which was also a full suit and had high heeled shoes. Her spray was so strong its fragrance filled the room that instant she got in. She held her neck high looking at me as I placed her laptop on my desk to install it with the latest Office system.
Irene was a chatter box, she dominated the entire conversation.
From where Sally was seated, we could see each other’s face but Irene could only see my face since she was more of facing me more than Sally. Sally upon noticing that, she made a funny face, smiled then winked at me, making my heart skip a beat. “Let me go back to my work, will see you later.” Sally said and left.
“Oh! Sally had come to see you? I thought she just brought you some tea”. Irene said. “Well, she just dropped by to say Hi. She is a colleague too so she can pass by and have a word or two with me. Besides, this office is so lonely am mostly alone here so no harm having some little company for some minutes.”
That statement sparked Irene. She interpreted that I needed some more company in my office and she said, “Oh, really, I will be coming more often to keep you company then.” I did not reply. I sure did not need her company either, Irene talked too much and she was so much into office gossips a thing which I did not like. I hoped she would interpret that gesture but I was wrong. Irene continued, “tomorrow I will spend some more time here with you. I have this report am writing and it is giving me hard time to edit and am still new to Office 2016 system so I will really need your help and expertise. So, I will be your guest.” I felt like she was trying to manipulate her way into my office, kind of, imposing herself. At this point I told her, “You are welcome, but for a short while since I have a tough schedule ahead. Am supposed to redesign our network infrastructure and I need to concentrate. Currently the one running our system is too costly and boss does not like how it ends up being too costly to our monthly budgets.”
“It is ok Tony. I won’t disturb you, I will just seat here and work, will only disturb you when I need your help.” I felt cornered. Our company had an open office policy and anyone could work from any desk except our boss. Our boss encouraged that work place culture to foster togetherness and team work, and to enhance social interactivity among employees a thing which had a really positive impact on our organization and improved productivity. So I had no reason to tell Irene no. In fact, if I turned down her request to come and work from my office for a day or two, if that got to our boss, it would not go well with her. My boss hated workers who turned other colleagues down especially on office work assistance. She discouraged work selfishness completely. Besides, she too was very sociable to all her employees and would assist you like any time you needed her assistance. 
But that meant Sally would not spend much more time in my office the following few days as it was clear she enjoyed more when am alone with her.
--------------------
Irene sooner returned to her office. But she kept calling with our office landline to inquire how to use the new system that I had installed in her computer. As if she was really driving a point home; that she indeed needed to stay in my office for a few days in order to learn more. Either way, she was justified since all other employees would at times camp in my office for a day or two to learn any new system that had been introduced via the ICT department.
