The Vortex

Why I blurted that out, I'll never know.

Mr. Baldoni says nothing. Just nods slowly.

I straighten my spine and walk out of his office.

I promptly go to my desk and start typing up my short simple resignation letter. I print it out, then put it in an envelope and write 'Resignation Letter' on it.

I then grab the documents for the meeting scheduled at 10, and head for the meeting room. I lay the papers around the table and grab the water pitcher. I rinse and dry it before filling it with water, and grabbing a wrapped plate of danish pastries from the counter. I take both into the meeting room and set them on the table. I leave the meeting room and walk back to my desk.

I'll leave Mr. Baldoni to it, he doesn't need my help with todays meetings. I pull up the company site and go to the job listing. I see there are about 30 submissions. I click thru each resume and cover letter checking off the ones with the best references and skillset for this job, which ends up being about 5 people.

I quickly email them to see about setting up interviews for tomorrow. After a few hours I've confirmed all 5 for interviews tomorrow starting at 1. Yes! That's taken care of, so I look through Mr. Baldoni's schedule to see that he's free from 1-6 today. Then he's scheduled at 6:15 for drinks with Mr. Logan again.

Mr. Baldoni hasn't spoken a word to me since this morning, and I'm wondering how I'm gonna get thru another 5 days of this.

Ugh! Me and my big mouth, after being late from wondering so hard about how I would do it. It just spills out of my mouth with no filter.

I go through Mr. Baldoni's personals, schedule the payment for the house workers, make sure the autopay for bills is set, and schedule his tux fitting for the benefit he has coming up.

After lunch, there's not much to do, so I wander to the receptionist desk to talk to Linda.

"Hey Linda, I just wanted to tell you personally that my last day will be next Wednesday."

She gasps "What?! Why?!"

I say "This was never the last stop for me, I always wanted more, and I finally got the opportunity to get it. So I'm taking it."

She smiles "I totally understand, I'm gonna miss having you around. Who am I gonna gossip with?"

"I'm sure my replacement will be just as nice, you'll be friends in no time!"

She scoffs "They may replace you at your job, but not as my friend!"

"Aww! That's so sweet of you to say Linda! You should come out on Friday, we're all going to The Vortex to celebrate the new job. We're meeting up at 8." "Levi will be there."

She blushes and ducks her head "I think I'll be able to make it."

I smile "That's great! I have to invite Paul."

She nods, and I say my goodbye and walk back to my desk.

The rest of the week passes uneventfully. I make it thru the interviews and make the selection, my replacement will be Kris Bryan. She's an omega, but she takes suppressants religiously, so I feel there is nothing to worry about there. Friday, I do the paperwork with Kris, and send her to HR to get her badge and logins.

Once she returns I walk her through our floor acquainting her with the layout. I go over a few of her responsibilities, but tell her we'll dive deeper on Monday when she'll be able to shadow me for a full day.

I get off at 5 today, because I have to make it home and get ready to meet up with everyone. I make it home by 5:30, and decide to make a quick dinner before getting ready. I text everyone that they should eat before heading out as the plan was drinking only.

After making some simple pasta and garlic bread, I eat and clean up.

I go upstairs, and head to the bathroom to shower. After my shower, I moisturize, and get dressed in a sheer black shirt, tight black jeans, and some black sneakers. I put my watch on and spritz my cologne, when I look at the time it's 7:30.

I need to head out to make it there by 8. I head out and make my way to the train station, I catch the train to lower Manhattan and walk the 10 minutes to The Vortex.

When I get there. I see Jack and Melissa standing to the side with Roxanne and Tim.

I jog over and jump on Tim's back yelling "Hey guys! I'm so ready! I wanna get drunk!"

Tim shrugs me off before turning to me saying "We'll get there, calm your tits."

I laugh, as we start chatting Paul walks up with Linda, and I see Lily and Levi making their way to us as well.

We get in the short line, show our ID's at the door, then we're inside.

The lights are low but strobe lights are flashing through the place as the music thumps with a fast tune. I beeline to a table to snatch it up, the rest of the gang walks over and settle around the table. A waitress walks over to take our orders. I order a double round of tequila shots, and a few of the guys order beers. When the waitress returns with the shots, I throw the two shots back and order a cocktail.

I yell to the group "I'm hitting the dance floor! Anyone wanna come with?"

Lily and Linda decides to join me. We make our way to the dance floor thru the mass of bodies that just seem to have appeared from nowhere. We make it to the middle of the dance floor, and start jumping around to the fast music. I'm laughing, out of breath, by time the music changes to slow songs. I start moving my body sensually to the music. I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, and breath on the back of my neck. I shiver from the contact before turning and meeting the bluest eyes I've ever seen.

He's sexy! He's about 6'1 with blonde hair, and a muscled build. I smile shyly at him before turning back around and moving so that my ass is against his crotch. I sway sexily to the music, and his arms tighten around my waist. I feel his erection against my ass, and chuckle to myself. I turn and stand on my tiptoes so I can whisper in his ear "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere."

He nods before I walk back to the table, I grab a shot that's sitting there. I down it, and pick up another. I smirk at everyone, before dancing back to the dance floor. I walk back over to Mr. Hotstuff, running my hand up his back before moving in front of him and grinding my front against his. He smiles down at me "What's your name?"
