Roberta walked past the perfectly any side door She caught a brief glilass pane Her soft cocoa skin looked fresh and flawless Roberta smiled at her reflection "Skinny woht to herself "But a little extra flesh will keep you looking young" Roberta was proud of her curves
She looked up at the security caate attendant who had adood at his job and thoroughly checked all of Roberta's credentials before opening the gate, allowing her to cruise past up the long and winding drive that was paved in cobblestone and flanked by Royal Palm Trees
"Use the service entrance" had been the guard's only request "I will buzz you in this tiive you your own pass code to use from now on" Roberta had nodded She wasn't an amateur She was a professional It's not as if this was the first tiained access to a vast country estate, and it most certainly wouldn't be the last
Roberta was brought out of her reverie by a light buzzing noise and a serious-looking man in his early fifties as dressed in a three-piece suit accessorized by a red and blue striped silk cravat, opened the door
"Mr Leon?" Roberta asked extending hi hiht, movie starlet smile
"Henderson" was all the led nervously when she realized her mistake
"Follow me" he commanded He had one of those British accents that Auished Roberta decided that she liked hi
He turned purposefully and walked elegantly down the hall Roberta looked down at the perfectly polished wooden floors, drawn to the rich inlayed pattern of dark and light wood The floor reminded her of one that you would see in a fancy European hotel and so she looked closer, hoping to determine if it had been recently installed, or just meticulously hly polished and preserved
Henderson had not said anything else but continued to down the hall, past about a half dozen closed door In-between the doors were photographs of easily recognizable faces; celebrities, politicians, andand all accoraph of a skinny yet busty woman in a white bikini with her arm around the man Roberta drew in her breath, she looked into his eyes They were large and light brown Roberta felt pierced by those eyes and her heart flutter a little Her eyes wandered over his tanned skin and finally set on his th, hair It was a beautiful brown color and so thick She found herself involuntarily raising her hand, she wanted to feel the hair and see if it felt as soft as it looked in the photograph
"Miss" Roberta suspended her fingers rin at Henderson His lips reht as an iron rod Roberta would have her work cut out for her trying to win the Butler over That was her secret; get the man that the boss cannot live without on your side and you will be golden
"So sorry Henderson"
"Let's continue then" He abruptly turned and continued down the corridor He reached a solid door that was closed like all the others, but for so her previous folly, she kept her hands firmly clasped at her side She would show Henderson that she was quick to learn and would not make the same mistake twice
"Wait here" he commanded, then knocked three times and stepped back
"Enter" a throaty and co voice said Henderson opened the door
"Sir, Miss Roberta has arrived"
"Show her around Henderson, I simply cannot be interrupted at this time"
"Of course" Henderson shut silently shut the door, not wanting to further disturb his employer and looked at Roberta, for the first time directly into her eyes If Roberta did not know better, she thought that she saw a trace of apology in his gaze
Easy as pie Roberta had always had this effect on people She could get anybody that she wanted on her side She was always popular in school and was never without a boyfriend throughout her teenage years Other friends complained that men were jerks and always let them down Men did not let Roberta down She simple became bored with theave in to her every request Soht that if she could ever find ato bend to her charms, she would be his for eternity
