Real Life Stories - September 2013

Screen 7 of 21

She told me that she liked having a male work for her, and felt that we had a good chemistry. It was important to her that I respected her as a boss and that I did what she told me to do. That included a few personal things like getting her coffee, cleaning her desk, and an occasional errand or two when she needed it. I had never been around such a confident lady, and told her that I would do my best to please her.

Over the next few months we worked very closely together. As a new attorney, she was expected to work a lot of overtime. I often stayed late just to be around her and I went out of my may to do personal errands for her. The more jobs I did for here, the more she gave me.

Finally, one evening after we had both worked late, she invited me for dinner at a nearby restaurant. Over a casual dinner she told me how difficult it was to have a career and a serious relationship with a man. She had just broken up with a guy. He wanted her to leave her job, and move out of state with him. I half jokingly said that if she went out with me she could be the boss both at work and at home, and that her career could come first. We both laughed, but I could tell it was something she might be interested in.
