Promoted

I 34 got promoted and sent to manage a regional office; it suited me as I'd just broken up in long term relationship. Decided a change of city would be better than running into my old girlfriend every other day. My job was overseeing projects in the area mostly and also making sure local supplier met their delivery promises. Head office was too far away to chase down slowed deliveries, so the closest office dealt with them. My office had 7 staff including me, 5 were married and 2 single me being one of them. The other the office receptionist 27, was the bookish type preferred to read a book then date. I'd no P A or any help as each staff member had their own job to maintain. Only in a pinch could I take the receptionist for assistance. Never had been done and I couldn't see any need to do it anyway. As time passed, I'd settled in and found myself increasingly attracted to the receptionist. Tried asking her out and had failed, I needed to get her away from her comfort zone to have any chance I reasoned. A problem came up with a supplier; I could easily handle it by myself. But as it was close a long weekend. I decided to take the receptionist with me, hoping her being away from normal area would help me get closer to her. We'd to drive to see the supplier and it was raining when left and the weather report said it would be raining the whole time. No mention of rain causing any flooding. The meeting with the supplier was fairly quick and the late order I was there to get sent had been sent the morning before we arrived. The rain had increased by the time we started back and got heavier as we drove back home. About fifty miles from home, we were stooped by a roadblock. Not due to flooding but a landside, the road was closed till it could be cleared. But work wouldn't start until the rain stopped. The rain was supposed to stop overnight, which it did. But the landside was really large and would take 2 days to clear for traffic to continue. We'd stayed in an old motel; I hadn't tried anything that night as I had been busy talking to head office and my office. Now with about two days to fulfill and nothing really stopping me I turned my full attention to the receptionist. We'd share a room and only had the clothes we were wearing. The motel room didn't have bathrobes only towels, the local store sold a mix of just about everything. It did have bathrobes like old grandfather's wear, larger than we needed. But I got them so we could wash our clothes at least. We both could easily fit in either of them, the thought did cross my mind. Anyway, I slowly worked on my receptionist, getting to relax more and more around me. Doing nothing to alarm her, my slow persistence paid off. The final night of our stay I bedded her and I was her first lover. About 1pm the following day the road opened, on getting home I'd her stay overnight again with me in my apartment. She thought we were in a full relationship, not the fling I'd intended. I thought over my actions and realized I really liked her, so I settled into a full relationship with her. That was in 2023 we're now married and have a daughter 1 and my wife is again pregnant due in September a boy according to the doctor.
