She hated it then, and hated it even more today.She hated it then, and hated it even more today. Any man who worked for her, who even looked at her cross-eyed, she had canned. Maria removed the rest of her clothing and went to take a shower. She thought of her pending meeting with Suzie Vanderheim. If Heather only knew just how good Suzie was. Suzie and Maria went back along way. It was Suzie who first introduced Maria to the world of Sapphism. Had it really been almost twenty years? -----o0o----- Maria had just stared work for old Mr. Cohen, when he had taken her along on a job to decorate Suzie's apartment. Maria had been fascinated with the wealth she saw there. Suzie had been married to a wealthy banker, who had died a year earlier. Coming out of mourning, she decided she needed to redo the gloomy surroundings. Maria's suggestions appeared to be just what Suzie was looking for. Mr. Cohen was reluctant to allow a novice like Maria to take charge of the redecorating. But Suzie had threatened to take her business elsewhere if Maria didn't do it personally. Little known to Maria then, but Suzie had implemented Phase One of Maria's seduction. Maria worked like a madman, ensuring the changes were carried out just the way she and Suzie had planned. Many late nights and weekends were spent working in the apartment. But Maria was determined to prove to Mr. Cohen that he hadn't made a mistake in letting her do the job. And to prove to Suzie that she hadn't misplaced her trust in Maria. Late one night, the job was finished. Maria was ever so proud of what she had accomplished. Suzie was there and insisted they open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. |
