Turning the Tables on the Boss (closed for Rocket1010)
Suddenly Helen began to feel uneasy. She had never been in this part of town before. One run-down building followed another; groups of shady looking individuals hung around on street corners. Christ, what had possessed her to venture out so late at night into this unfamiliar and disturbing neighbourhood? It was bad enough that she was putting her own safety at risk, but why did she have to involve her 21-year-old daughter, who had insisted on driving her? She looked across at Sandra and could see from the worried expression on her attractive face that she was having the same thoughts.
Helen's story had begun only a few hours earlier. She was leaving the office building downtown where she worked as a senior partner in a prestigious law firm. Lost in thought after a busy day, she did not notice the tall sinister figure lurking in the shadows behind a column as she exited the porticoed main entrance. Before she had an opportunity to call out, a black man wearing a hoody over his face had knocked her to the ground and grabbed her bag. Just as he was about to scammer, she heard an almighty roar and Leroy, who worked as a trainee paralegal in her department, came to her aid. He kicked the man in the groin, causing him to drop the bag. Her assailant ran off, clutching his genitals. It was all over in a matter of seconds. Although Helen had dealt with many criminal cases in her time, the unexpected fury of the attack left her winded and confused. Leroy helped her to her feet. Before she could even thank him for interceding, he smiled that strange disarming smile of his and simply said "He's gone and I doubt very much that he will bother you again". And with that he turned on his heels and hurried down a side street.
Helen felt awful. It's wasn't just because her arm was bruised and her legs slightly scratched, nor even because her rescuer had departed abruptly, but more because of her guilt at the way she had treated Leroy over the past few months. Her company had just adopted a policy of employing minorities. She had been vehemently opposed to this initiative. Her argument was that the all-white clientele would be uncomfortable seeing black and hispanic faces in positions of trust when they came for consultations. Although Helen refused to admit it, she knew that her Southern upbringing had left her deeply prejudiced, particularly where black people were concerned. Her ex-husband had always chided her by calling her a borderline racist. She protested, but she knew there was more than an element of truth in this accusation. In the end the modernisers, and those in favour of positive discrimination at her firm, had won out and a small number of individuals from ethnic backgrounds were employed.
Helen had been furious when she was told that she would have to take on Leroy as a trainee in her department. At first she had refused, but then she decided to make a social experiment of him. She wagered another one of the partners that he would quit within a month. As far as she was concerned, negroes had no stamina for hard work and lacked the social graces to get on with educated, cultured people. But Leroy surprised her. Not only did he survive one month, but he prospered. He was first into the office and the last to leave. He had a eye for legal detail, memorised whole cases from the heavy tomes in the office library, and was very comfortable and respectful with the well-heeled clients. Some of the partners saw even more potential in him and suggested that he might be sent to law school at night to earn a degree and to take his bar exams. When Helen heard this, she visibly cringed at the prospect of working more closely with a low-down nigger as her Daddy would have called Leroy. She also noticed to her disgust that some of her female colleagues were captivated by his youthful good looks - she guessed that he was about the same age as her daughter, Sandra - his muscular frame, and easy manner. For her part, Helen treated him abysmally. She set him the most menial tasks, humiliated him in front of other staff, never engaged him in conversation, and generally treated him like something that she had found under the sole of her shoe. Helen had always been a bad loser; she hated being proven wrong.
Now, standing in front of her office building, brushing herself down after the attempted mugging, Helen reproached herself over and over. How could I have been so horrible to him? I am usually a fair person, but in this case I had allowed my bias to come to the surface. And then she reached a quick decision. I will go to Leroy's home this instant, apologise for my unacceptable behaviour and offer him a substantial pay rise. As her car was in the shop, she phoned her daughter and went back in to get Leroy's address from the office database. Damn, she thought, I don't even know his surname.
It took some time to find the address. There was little public lighting to read the street names and house numbers. Helen had asked Sandra to wait in the car, but she was anxious to accompany her mother. They looked an odd couple as they got out of the car. Helen was still wearing her office clothes: navy jacket, matching knee-length skirt, white blouse, pearls, hold-up stockings, and heels. Her daughter was more casually dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. There was also a marked contrast in body types. Helen was a tall (5'10"), curvaceous (170 lbs) 46-year-old woman with broad hips, heavy prominent breasts, and an expansive rear. Her still attractive face was framed by short blonde, greying hair. Although she had spent a great deal of time in her thirties exercising and dieting, recently she had accepted that she was middle aged and that she needed to tolerate the excess weight that she carried and her more rounded womanly forms. Sandra was slightly shorter than her mother, but much slimmer. She had the perfect hour-glass figure: 36" bust, 24" waist, and 36" hips. Men literally stopped and visibly drooled when they encountered her in the street.
They mounted the steps to the house with great trepidation. All of the windows had black-out curtains. The two-storey building was in slightly better condition than the ramshackle shacks that surrounded it. Its door was constructed from some sort of reinforced metal, had multiple locks and, surprisingly, a security camera trained on it. Helen thought about turning around and confronting Leroy in the office tomorrow, but then she decided: I've come all this way, let's do it now. She reached out and pressed the buzzer.
