Hard Times

I work for an international corporation travel regularly overseas, mostly short trips a few days at most. Divorced and 53 years old my children grown up, I wasn't in any relationships and decided I would play the field as they say. But it didn't go as easily as I thought it would. Finally seeing my best chance, a widow of 4 years was struggling with medical debt and rental problems among a few other problems. At 48 she looked great and most importantly lived alone. With a corporate reshuffle announce she was concerned she would lose her job. It shouldn't affect me at all; I got promoted it turned out. She was on the surplus list; I was now entitled to an assistant to be chosen from the surplus list. Of course I chose her, but before making it official I made sure few special requirements unofficially were required. Not that stood out as exploitive. First was able to travel very short notice, the second attend events with me. Nothing that would cause a the higher up to get worried about. But there are ways of making extra requirements known without saying them. She picked up on my subtle cues quickly and agreed to my extras with no fuss. Only major change in my life was she moved in with me, solving one of her problems instantly and also being available 24 7. Now two years later it is working great, no hassles, regular sex and we're close and may in future make it more official.
