Molly drove her old beat up sedan to the heart of the city
in search of the Bancroft building. It wasn't hard to find, it
stuck out from all the others, being the tallest and the
name Bancroft flashed across the front of the building.
Parking her car she goes inside and over to the
information desk where a young woman was sitting.
"Hello, I'm looking for Adam Bancroft's office."
The woman looked up, giving Molly a warm smile. "Do
you want Mr. Bancroft Sr. or Jr?"
Molly was taken by surprise, not realizing there were two.
"I-I don't know, I'm not sure," she stammered. Then she
remembered she had the letter with her, so she looked in
her purse and pulled it out. "Bancroft Jr. that's it," Molly
told the woman.
"Ok, Miss, Mr. Bancroft Jr's office is on the twelfth floor."
The receptionist went back to her work but was
interrupted again by Molly.
"Excuse me, is there a room number?"
"No Miss, the whole floor belongs to Bancroft Jr."
Molly stepped into the elevator and wondered why one
person would need the whole floor for their office. The
only conclusion she could come up with was that he
thought far too highly of himself.
When the elevator doors opened and she stepped out she
noticed how luxurious it was. Thick cream color carpet
covered the floor. White and black leather sofa's sat in
several different spots. Crystal chandeliers hung from the
ceiling. Bottles of champagne were chilling on ice, crystal
glasses lined up, all sitting on glass tables.
Molly walked over to the woman sitting behind a desk, a
beautiful African American, she was elegantly dressed,
her long dark hair flowed down her back and shoulders. A
pair of dangling gold earrings hung from her ears, she
looked more like a model than a receptionist. The woman
looked Molly over as she raised her eyebrow.
"Can I help you?" she asked, a hint of irritation in her
voice.
"Yes, I'd like a word with Mr. Bancroft."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, but it's very important and won't take long," Molly
answered.
"I'm sorry Miss, without an appointment I can't let you in,"
she said, rolling her eyes.
Molly shook her head, rolling her eyes. "Fine, I'll make an
appointment."
The woman, whose name was Susan, checked her
computer, it seemed to take forever before she looked
back up. "Ok, I can book you in for Feb. 9th."
Molly's mouth dropped open, she couldn't believe it. "No, I
can't wait that long. Eight months, that's insane."
"Mr. Bancroft is a very busy man. Do you want an
appointment or not?"Susan smirked.
She looked over Susan's shoulder and pointed. "Is that his
office?"
"Yes," Susan answered.
When Molly dashed over to the door Susan jumped from
her seat. "Stop, you can't go in there," she yelled out.
Molly reached the door and opened it before Susan could
stop her and was not prepared for what she saw. The
man sitting behind the desk was tanned, his hair black as
midnight. His jacket and tie were tossed across the back
of his chair, his shirt unbuttoned, showing off an amazing
muscular chest. A busty red headed woman was sitting
on his lap, her top laid on the floor. They both turned
sharply to look at the intruder. Molly had never seen a
man that looked like him in all her life, her heart started
beating wildly in her chest.
"Susan, what the hell is the meaning of this?" his husky
voice bellowed out loudly.
"I'm sorry sir, she ran past me before I could stop her."
Susan's voice sounded shaky.
After sizing Molly up he smiled and turned his attention
back to the woman on his lap, his lips going to her neck
spoke between kisses. "You want to see me then make an
appointment."
"I tried that, but I can't wait eight months and you don't
appear that busy," she said sarcastically.
His head snapped up to look at her. His eyes narrowed,
turning dark as he stared into her eyes, he wasn't
accustomed to people talking back to him.
She stared back, not blinking.
After a moment he moved the woman off his lap and
stood up. "You can leave now Mary," he told the woman.
"My names Sally, will you call me?" she asked, putting on
her blouse.
"Sure baby, whatever," he answered with an air of
arrogance.
Molly watched as he slowly did up his shirt, she couldn't
take her eyes off his chest. A strange feeling went
through her, one she had never experienced before. A
tingling sensation between her thighs and her heart was
pounding inside her chest.
"Ok Miss," he said, pulling Molly from her coma-like state.
Her face flushed, she turned away when she realized he
was watching her. "Molly, Molly Hansson," giving him her
name.
"Ok Molly, do up my tie," saying as he put it around his
neck and moved closer to her.
"What?" her eyes widened.
"I can never do it properly myself. You do know how to tie
a tie, don't you?" he asked as he edged even closer to
her.
She stood there like a deer caught in the headlights of a
car.
"Do my tie up and I'll give you five minutes of my time."
Now he was standing right in front of her, towering over
her.
He watched as she started fixing his tie, felt her hands
trembling. He studied her face, she had the longest
eyelashes he had ever seen, except for the false ones that
women wear. Her cheekbones defined, her lips plump and
soft looking with a touch of pink lipstick. She smelled like
fresh strawberries.
******************************
Molly couldn't stop her hands from trembling as she
reached up and proceeded to fix his tie. His breath
smelled minty fresh, his aftershave was intoxicating. The
heat from his chest ran through her fingers and she felt
the hardness of his chest. Once she was done backed
away, looking up she saw him staring at her, his eyes
studying her. Suddenly she felt unsure of herself, she
never had a man look at her the way he was.
******************************
"You have five minutes, sit." He points to the chair in front
of his desk, then he sits on the edge of his desk and
waits for her to speak.
He wasn't paying attention to what she was saying, he
was too busy checking her out. She was blond with
emerald green eyes, a killer body with a tiny waist. He
could tell how round and firm her breasts were under her
top and she had such beautiful shapely legs. And he was
thinking about how great it would feel to have them
wrapped around him. He felt himself becoming aroused at
the thought of it. Then he heard her yelling as she
abruptly stood up.
"Oh my God, Mr. Bancroft you've not heard a word I've
said. Will you stop staring at my legs and listen to me?"
Adam got up and going around his desk sat down. "Sorry
Miss Hansson, you're out of time."
Angrily she leaned over the desk, unaware she was giving
him a perfect view down her top. "No, that's not fair, you
didn't even listen to me," she cried.
He made it obvious he was checking her out, leaning back
in his chair his eyes went to her cleavage and he smiled.
"Let me take you to dinner, we can talk then."
Molly looked at him with disgust, she knew he was hitting
on her and was only trying to get her into bed. "You have
to be the most arrogant, self-centered jerk I have ever
met. There's no way in hell I'd ever have dinner with you."
Adam watched as Molly's chest began to heave rapidly up
and down in anger making her breasts move. He usually
liked his women with large breasts but hers he thought
were perfect, just the right size. "Suit yourself, Miss
Hansson, make an appointment and I'll see you in Feb."
"Go to hell, Mr. Bancroft." Molly turned and walked out,
slamming the door behind her.
Molly was fuming when she left his office, never had she
met anyone so rude and conceited. Yet when she stood
before him she found herself feeling things she'd felt
before, wasn't even sure what it was she was feeling.
At home, her father asked her how it went with the
Bancroft's.
"I'm so sorry dad I tried, but he wouldn't listen to me."
She looked over at her father. "I'm not giving up. I'll write
letters, organize a protest right outside his building. We'll
get on the news, appeal to the public to put pressure on
Bancroft."
"Molly, these people are wealthy and for all I know,
dangerous. I want you to stop before you end up getting
hurt."
"I can't dad, I have to try. Besides, you didn't raise a
quitter."
Later that day Adam's father came into the office and sat
in the chair across from him. "Jr. who was that young lady
that stormed out of here earlier?"
"Hum- a Molly Hansson I believe," Adam Jr. answered.
"What did you do to make her so mad?" Adam Sr. asked.
Adam Jr. sat back and smiled. "I'm not sure. She said
something about how I was too busy looking at her legs
to hear what she was saying."
"Well, she did have great legs son. But maybe you should
try listening once in a while, women like it when you do.
And don't you think it's time you settled down, find a
wife?"
"I'm only thirty father, I have no desire to tie myself down
to one woman. The very thought of making love to one
woman the rest of my life does not appeal to me."
Adam Sr. was leaving when he stopped to look back at
his son. "Son, there's nothing like the love of that one
special woman. One that loves you for who you are, not
how much money you have. One of these days you're
going to meet her and you won't see it coming." He
chuckled. "Keep your eyes open son."
After Adam's father left he sat drumming his fingers on
the desk. His thoughts kept going back to the sassy
blond. There was something intriguing about her, she was
beautiful and had lots of fire in those green eyes. He
wanted to see her again, no, he would see her again.
Picking up the phone he buzzed Susan.
"Susan, find the number for Molly Hansson. Tell her to
come by tomorrow at one o'clock, and tell her I'll listen to
what she's got to say."
