That's one way to fix work relations

Twenty-seven year old Valerie worked in an insurance firm under her boss, thirty-four year old Katherine, but she wasn't enjoying it. Katherine would unintentionally put her under pressure a majority of the time, often giving her more and more paperwork that didn't match the salary. And every time that Valerie tried to talk about some time off or a raise, Katherine would talk over her and excuse herself before the former could even get a word out.

But as annoyed as it made Valerie, her twenty-four year old sister Kimberly was absolutely livid! Kimberly had said that she would march into Katherine's office herself and demand that Valerie get less work and more pay. Something that Valerie begged her little sister not to do, as being fired from having her sister fight her battles was mortifying to think about. Kimberly had promised she wouldn't say or do anything, and things were still the same...

Until Valerie was called into Katherine's office one day.

Sitting across from her employee, Katherine had informed Valerie that she had bumped into Kimberly at the supermarket and had received an earful from the younger woman about 'mistreating [her] sister'. Mortified, Valerie attempted to apologize for her sister, but was interrupted when, much to her shock, Katherine apologized first, claiming that she hadn't realized the pressure she was putting Valerie under. Shocking her even more was when Katherine gave her a small raise, less paperwork, and a week off with pay.

Two months since that day, things had been going well at the office. Surprisingly, Valerie and Katherine had gotten a lot more acquainted with each other, to the point where they might have even considered one another friends, but most importantly, things were going much more smoothly for Valerie at work. There was even a rumor going around the firm that Valerie was a shoe-in for a promotion and Employee of The Month.

And she knew just who to thank for all this...

Valerie arrived at her sister's house one afternoon on her day off, wanting to thank Kimberly for interfering with her work life. She did notice a familiar looking Ferrari parked on the other side of the street, but paid no mind as she pulled out the key she had been given. Unlocking the door, Valerie stepped into Kimberly's house and closed the door before slipping off her shoes and making her way through the house to surprise her little sister.

As Valerie entered the kitchen, she herself was in for a surprise as she saw a shirtless Kimberly with her back to her, chugging down a carton of orange juice while wearing just a pair of blue jeans.

"Kimmy?!"

Kimberly spat out the juice, nearly **** as she coughed and brought her arms to her chest and spun around to face her sister. "V-Val?!" Kimberly squeaked, face red. "What are you doing here?!"

"Is this a bad time?"

"Yes. I mean no! I mean, uh..."

"Well, I'm sorry for interrupting... Whatever you were doing just now." Valerie apologized awkwardly before clearing her throat. "However, I actually wanted to thank you for talking with my boss despite the fact you promised you wouldn't."

"Oh, uh, no problem." Kimberly said with a nervous chuckle, "But maybe we can talk about this later?"

"How about tonight?" Valerie offered as Kimberly padded into the living room. "Go get dressed and let me buy you dinner as a way to say thank you."

"Oh, I'd love to, Sis, but I already made dinner plans tonight." Kimberly replied, "But I'm definitely free tomorrow."

"... Are you trying to get rid of me?" Valerie asked as she followed Kimberly into the living room. "Because I haven't seen you this jumpy since Dad caught you with those dirty magazines as a teenager."

"What?! No!" Kimberly said with a nervous laugh, her arms dropping to her sides. "C'mon, what could I possibly be hiding that I'd want to get you to -"

"Mmm, come back to bed, Baby Girl. It's cold without you..."

Both women froze at the voice, a pair of arms snaking themselves around Kimberly as a sleepy Katherine dressed in only black hose and lacey neon green panties came up from behind her. Katherine looked up and saw the slack jawed Valerie staring at her with wide eyes, a sheepish chuckle escaping her lips. "Oh, hello, Valerie. Kimmy didn't say that we were expecting company today. Let me just go throw a robe on real quick and I'll be right back..."

Without another word, Katherine broke away from Kimberly, giving her a brief peck on the cheek before turning and heading towards the bedroom. Once Katherine was out of the room, Valerie slowly turned to Kimberly...

"Okay, let's try this again..." Kimberly chuckled sheepishly before clearing her throat. "Uh, hi, Sis! Yeah, I... I'm dating your boss."
