Chapter 9
"Oops! This lingerie looks fabulous, what do you think Jason" she escorted her remark with an inquiry as they caught glimpses of products in a ladies' wear shop.
"I think it will look sexy on you" he replied affirmatively.
"Then I'm gonna get it, let me check if there is anything else I may want" she said as she checked some multi-coloured G-strings and silky panties on display.
"It looks they got some quality ladies' underwear" he remarked with some leverage of elation.
"I love silky underwear like crazy, are you fine with it darling?" she uttered as she threw the items that she had selected into the shopping basket.
"I find silky underwear sexy too" he responded as he received the tray that she extended to him as they maneuvered to the till section.
She paid for the items that she had chosen before they resumed their journey back to Redbury. They took it easy on the road upon agreeing that there was no need to be hasty since they had accomplished their Manburg mission. When they arrived in Manburg, the time has gone beyond 16:30 hrs which was the official time they knocked off at JCC. Should duty calls compel them to go beyond the normal working hours, they were entitled to overtime rates which always boosted their earnings. Most of the workers at JCC greatly loved their Saturday shift because it fell under that lucrative category which was paid double the normal rate. Jilian was a very generous and considerate boss who always ensured that the terms and conditions of her personnel's welfare, whom she hired and renumerated on contractual configurations of the ongoing project, were conducive. She also paid a 13th cheque should one serve for more than 6 months before the December pay nominal roll submissions.
Whilst on their way from Manburg, it had crossed her mind that she would need a site Manager of more or less the same magnitude as Jason's should the latest tender bid go through. Before settling for Jason, she had wavered between him and an interviewee called James. He was as qualified as Jason and had exceptionally excelled as the best student in the faculty of architectural sciences at Zonex State University. He had worked in the construction industry for 8 years which was 3 years more than Jason. As much as he outwitted him in terms of experience, Jason's conspicuous leadership qualities, shaped around a sound professional etiquette, proved to be of incomparable stature. She had also settled on him on account of specialisation given that James's wealthier experience was hinged more on the construction of buildings than the road niche. He had stamped his authority in a number of such projects which included malls, flats, and some of the state-of-the-art skyscrapers to stand tall and be counted. Having worked as an architectural engineer on just a single road project to Jason's two as a site manager, Jilian had to also take relevant and technical expertise into consideration upon comparing the specifications and complexities of the projects they had been a part of. She had also found him to be of good humour, at the same time very confident and fearless. Considering all those merits coupled with his state of being a fresh brainer, her decision was justifiably bereft of doubt.
"Are you married madam" James had asked her on the sidelines of the interview.
She wanted all her projects to be a resounding success so that their decorated records would stand as powerful one-nod annexures whenever she bade or make project proposals. Therefore, the looping in of qualified and experienced top personnel was a prerequisite.
"I think James can make the cut as the site manager of the Manburg/Zonex project" she had self-gratified herself as she embarked on a hypothetical monologue whilst trailing behind Jason as they drove back to Redbury from the Quarry. As much as she had proven to be good as any male artisan could come, she had come to appreciate and concede that men were more active on the ground as artisans largely by virtue of their masculinity and stereotypical nurturing. She had also come to relish that the administrative side of her line of business was open to both sexes and she had proven her mettle to give any competitor a good run for their money. In view of that, Jilian felt that the roping in of competent engineers in Jason and James, let alone connecting with powerful personalities like Jordan was what would complement her administrative and architectural input well.
They say don't count your chickens before they hatch, but there is nothing wrong with optimism and feeling upbeat about your prospects of realizing your goals. It might have been a matter of being ahead of time as far as the Manburg/Zonex road construction tender was concerned, but did she not have the right to project into the future whilst basking in optimism?
"I bet you feeling much better now" she said as she looked him in the eye after an erotic quicky.
"That was a terrific round darling" he responded whilst salivating at her attractive sexy boobs.
"Your sex is driving me insane. I can't get enough of it darling" she added as she picked the pinky lingerie which had been thrown off as they uncontrollably got cosy with each other.
Upon arrival in Redbury, they had driven straight to her residence where she dispatched aunt Gloria soon after arrival. She went the extra mile to uplift Jason's dampened spirits by putting on the new lingerie that exhibited her inviting figure rousingly. He had not only fallen victim to that flash of seduction but also reminded of Delia who used to walk around him in diversified ranges of sexy lingerie. That coincidence did not only invoke a passing haze of confusion but also tortured him as regards the ongoing unseen status of infidelity. Momentarily, she recalled what Delia had said in their telephone conversation. Her persistent teasing and caressing of him could also not be casually handled with a man of normal sex health as him. How was he going to handle this lingerie delusion and conflict of intimate interest? Was Jilia going to play second fiddle to Delia who was due to come over that weekend as she had strongly indicated?
I need a glass of wine, you said you don't drink and I haven't seen you do either, can I pour for you some?" she spoke as she stood from the couch to reach for one of her sitting room divider closets. She pulled one of the several wine bottles that were cellared there.
"I bought a hamper of these wines at Greylands Spar 3 months back in one of their promotions" she explained whilst serving herself a glass of the mature Manhattan wine.
"Should I also pour you some?" she asked once more.
"Yep!" he accompanied his sharp and dodgy response with a head nod.
They sat side by side whilst sipping the exotic sweet wine. In the meantime, Jason remained undressed with the withdrawn dick dangling across his thigh. She passionately held his head with both hands, inserted her roving fingers into his ears before pulling him closer to herself for a lengthy tongue kiss which was interrupted by a phone call from his wife Delia. Disappointedly, she withdrew from the romantic entanglement and walked upstairs as he answered the intrusive call.
