As the doors closed on the last individual she glanced over to me, "See that their files are released immediately to the press!"
I nodded in accordance with her vengeful command.
Francesca turned back to the now empty boardroom and laughed out with a mirth bordering on the insane, "We'll give it about a month before we leak all their files through a third-party to the press. The pack of fools! Panolic is mine and ready to be crushed!" She laughed again, as I silently stood still not far from her side.
I hated this woman with an intensely controlled passion. I kept hoping that someone would bump her off and do the hard time for it so I didn't have to.
To say that Francesca Marelli took after a female dog wasn't a strong enough comparison. Actually, it was an insult to the dog. Francesca Marelli was a devil.
She turned away from the window and I could see that she was on an emotional high with having achieved the success of her highly expensive and spiteful takeover of her former husband's business. Francesca was a woman of manic moods and when she got high like this or worse yet low, she was best to be avoided.
I would have left if it was possible, but I couldn't so I stayed where I was maintaining the cool serenity of my features. She smiled at me and beckoned with a finger and I feared the worst was about to happen.
Francesca leaned back against the mahogany table and eyed me over speculatively as I approached. She shook her head knowingly, as a wicked smile played about her garishly painted lips, "You manifest yourself as such an ice queen, but we both know differently don't we Kim."
She reached out and stroked my chin with a finger in a familiar gesture that I hated coming from her. She straightened up and stepped closer to me and I had to fight to keep a mask of control in place.
She let her hand slide down from my chin to my chest where she began to fondle one of my breasts through my blouse and bra. It was the most overt come on to me that she had made yet and I feared that it was about to get worse.
Rubbing her manicured fingers enough upon me to elicit an unwanted reaction she smugly said, "You've been quite useful to me throughout this whole process Kim and now that all the hard work on your end is complete I think it's time that we took things to a whole new level so to speak. I didn't want to distract you too much from your purpose before, but now that everything's well in hand I find that there's time to play again and I do very much want to play with you Kim."
