Chance Meeting

Away on business, I spotted a good-looking woman standing against the wall at a meeting I was attending. She looked quite timid compared to everyone else in the room. At the meeting, I asked about a detail, and they said they would provide me with more details. At the end of the meeting, they said they would assign someone to provide the information. The room was emptying quickly; the manager looked for someone to assist me. The only one he found able to was the woman I had seen earlier. He assigned her to me; I was correct that she was quite timid. But she knew her job and didn't promote herself as everyone else did; I got all what I wanted. I returned home, and my family's company bought out the other one. I was sent back to oversee the integration of the purchase into the family's business. On my arrival, I was just there to ease the integration process. No staff reductions were planned; I set up an office as my base, and when looking for the woman I had worked with before. When I found her, I requested her as my assistant; the first few days were hectic. On the Friday evening, we were working later than usual to finish. I decided to treat her to dinner; she was reluctant, as she was living in emergency hostels and needed to be there before 8 pm or miss out on a bed for the night. I said I would make sure she had a place, and I rang the hotel I was staying in and booked a room for her. We had our dinner, then went to the hotel. She went to her room, and I went to the bar. Afterward, on my way to my room, I told reception to make her room for at least a week. Over the next week, we became closer, and I got her into my bed. My time there was ending shortly, and I decided I wanted her. She had no family or real home there, and we had become lovers. I officially made her my personal assistant, and we returned home together to live together in my apartment. My grandmother noticed my very strong interest in her first; she asked me when I would be marrying her. It was only then that I fully realized my attraction to her was more than just sexual. So, I asked her, and she accepted my proposal. Now married for five years and with two children.
