Gaslight her

Thursday

Thursday Morning I came in bright and early, almost dancing, my heels clicking as I exited the elevator. The spiked heeled ankle boots shimmered with their fresh polish, the seems of my thigh highs were perfect, the tops were aligned just on the professional side of sexy, the cream colored leather pencil skirt had the side slits match up with the top of the thigh-highs and show off the garter buckle, the silk blouse buttoned to just one button above 'not suitable for work', the leather jacket in hand, a cup of coffee in my other hand and a smile on my face.

"The hell got into you?" Mister Maroni, one of the board members asked as he turned from the conversation with his secretary in his normal gruff voice.

"Not that it is work related, but I got asked out for a date after work Mister Maroni," I smiled.

"Is this one of those 'I am high as a kite on a fairy tale dream because my crush asked me out' sort of days?" Mister Maroni asked.

"Yes?" I was as sheepish as possible.

"Tell Maria that I will be out, I have to get a contract signed on the other side of town, and I am taking the rest of the day off," Mister Maroni rolled his eyes before turning back to his secretary.

"Yes Sir!" I said as I continued.

I put my jacket up on the hanger by my desk and made coffee for M.A.D. with a special something, nothing illegal mind you but some herbs the witch in our lesbian coven uses as a female version of Viagra.

Maria Angel Diego was dressed in a Gucci women's office wear version of an oversized flannels shirt turtleneck and oversized jeans. She stopped and looked at me as I turned from my desk at the sound of the elevator ding. She looked up and down multiple times before she walked across the room to her office. She went to her desk and picked up the coffee I had made for her.

"Mz Diego?" I knocked on the frame of her private office door, "Mister Maroni wanted me to inform you that he is getting contracts signed on the other side of town and then will be taking the rest of the day off."

Another of the secretaries came over, she smiled at me and then knocked on the door frame.

"Mz Diego?" Lisa asked, "The Investment Profiles, from the stock analysis team..."

"Give it to Jessica," Maria said dismissively.

Lisa passed me the binder.

"Date tonight?" Lisa asked.

"Later," I smiled at Lisa while I saw my boss raise an eye brow.

I wait while Lisa retreats and Maria took a few deep drafts from the coffee mug. Once Maria waved for Jessica to come in, she did and took a sticky note off the top of the binder.

"What is that?" Maria asked.

"Just the note to give this copy to you Mz Diego," I smiled.

I towered over the seated Maria with my five inch heels as I handed her boss the binder.

"Let me see it," Maria snapped.

"See?" I held up the yellow paper, "For M.A.D. deliver ASAP."

"Mad?" Maria eyed me.

"Mz Diego, aren't those your initials?" I started with the truth and slide into lies, "And you have Michael Daniels, Mark Diego and Michelle Diaz on the executive board as well."

"Yes, sorry," Maria said, "Get me any over night messages please."

"Right on your desk here," I lean over to point at a stack of papers on the other side of her monitor.

"Right," Maria smiled as she looked from where i was pointing to me, "Thank you..."

"I will be outside," I smile as I head out of her office humming to myself as I give my walk extra strut.

I spent the next two hours going about my morning, getting files and taking letters for Maria while adding dance to my step as I went about my tasks, humming to myself some love songs as I went.

"I will get this typed up for you Mz Diego right now," I smiled and got up.

I noticed that Maria was blushing slightly and squriming in her seat.

"Are you alright Mz Diego?" I ask.

"I ah, just need to us the rest room, excuse me," Maria said with uncommon politeness.

"Of course," I smile as I go to leave, "I will be outside if you need me."

As I left, Maria got up and moved to her private bathroom.

An hour and half later, I had finished the letter. I had waited another half hour for the rest of the secretaries and other senior people to leave the top offices floor. I went and knocked on the doorframe of Maria's office to find her not in her office. I came in and looked around. I heard a noise from the bathroom. I smiled as I went to the door to the private bathroom. I heard her. She was fingering herself and doing a bad job about being quiet about it. I text Kelly to ask her if she could access Maria's Tablet.

The response shocked me, she had her tablet open right now and had pictures of me that she had taken when I wasn't looking today up!

"Jessica!" I heard a breathy gasp from inside the bathroom.

"Mz Diego? Are you alright? DO you need help?" I call with concern as I quickly turn back and open the door to the bathroom.

Maria let out a shriek as I opened the door, there she was bent over the washbasin vanity finger fucking herself with a panicked look on her reflection.

"Mz Diego!" I snap before slamming the door shut!

I turn on my heels and march to my desk.

"Jessica, please! I... Lets talk," I hear Maria call from behind me.

I grab my purse and jacket from my desk as Maria came over to speak with me. She didn't actually put her hands on me, but she clearly about to beg me to stop. Her pants were pulled up and her top wasn't tucked in.

"Please, I will give you anything, just don't say anything..." Maria begged, "A raise, bonus, cash, a very generous severance package, just don't say anything about this..."

"Mz Diego," I turn and try to keep a stern straight face, "Really? What you did was inexcusable! No judge or jury in the world would support you for this sort of thing..."

"You have no evidence!" Maria snapped.

"Maybe, but I know all the people in IT, and if you have been spying on me, then they would have access to all of your devices and would be able to send it straight to the media!" I snapped.

"I..."

"... can't fire the entire IT department right now, can you?" I cut her off.

"Please, just don't say anything," Maria snapped.

"Mz Diego," I fold my arms, "What upsets me the most is that you a supposedly straight woman who made your hatred of homosexuals, and only tolerates me because of my great work known on such a constant basis, are hiding in your bathroom fingering yourself over me instead of asking me out!"

Maria turned absolutely crimson.

"You think I haven't been hit on by men or women before in my life?" I shout trying to sound angry, "I can respect people who actually talk to me and ask me out, but I can't respect creeper!"

Maria could only look down.

"When Carl's wife hit on me at the Christmas party, I wasn't actually offended, I wasn't offended when Carl hit on me right after her," I said, "I just told them that I am only into women."

I put on my coat.

"Now I will be taking the rest of the day and going on my date tonight," I say with calm venom, "We will discuss this in the morning!"

Maria didn't argue.
