hot tub. She had worked hard on her back yard and had a hot tub along with a swimming pool. It was a little cold for the swimming pool so she decided to take a dip in the hot tub. Rachael stripped off her clothes inside her bedroom and grabbed her favorite white cotton bath robe. Walking out to the hot tub, she stood there for a moment before she slipped the robe off and got into the hot tub. Rachael sat in the hot tub with a glass of her favorite wine and thought about the issue she had to contend with on Monday morning. It was a simple part of life that on Monday morning there were going to be several employees that were going to be getting notices of termination. She kept thinking about this one employee, this Ted Forester. She was not sure why but there was something that kept eating at her about this one employee. She had decided that she was going to have her secretary do the dirty work. Rachael wanted to be in charge of this but she was booked in meetings and calls all day and just did not have the time. There was a large client that was coming into town to discuss their current contract and if they planned on renewing their contract. Rachael knew that if they did, she would have a good chance at reducing the amount of damage done in the recent financial fiasco.
     
    Rachael sat in the hot tub thinking about what had happened the night before between her and Jack. Rachael reached down and began to pleasure herself in the warm water of the hot tub. It felt good a couple of her fingers going in and out of her while a slight jet of warm water shot up into her. She was sitting there thinking about the sensation of Jack and his meat going in and out of her. Without notice, Rachael reached her orgasm and dropped her glass of wine onto the deck beside the hot tub.  
     
    Monday morning came around and Rachael walked into her office. She immediately called Janice on the intercom.
     
    “Janice, can you come here for a minute?”
     
    “Right away Ms. Clifton.” Janice walked into the office of the CEO and could immediately tell that Rachael had something that she wanted to say.
     
    “Please Janice have a seat. I asked you to come in because I need you to do something for me. I would do this myself, but with Mr. Jackahoma coming into town, I need to focus on him and trying to get him to sign a renewal on his contract. I have a list of employees that I need you to give termination notices to. I have tried all weekend to find a way that this could be avoided but alas, it cannot be helped. I want you to make sure that you give them a nice a termination package, I trust you to give an appropriate amount. There is this one employee, a Mr. Ted Forester, I want you to tell how things go with him. I have a reason why I am concerned with him and to be honest, I am not exactly sure what it is that is drawing me to him.”
     
    “Rachael... if I may, I have known you for years and have been at your side almost the entire way. I have never seen you affected by an employee being fired the way that you are reacting with this guy, is there something that I don't know about?”
     
    “Janice, I have never even met the man to be honest. I just have this feeling that I can't place my finger on concerning him. But I swear I have never seen the man a day in my life. But as much as I hate to do it, I need to let him go as his position has become a non-essential part of the company. Tell them that they will be allowed to work till the end of the week and that Friday will be his... I mean their last day.”
     
    Janice walked out of the office. It was odd for her as she was not used to seeing Rachael so flustered by an employee. Especially one that she had never met. Janice had to wonder if there was something that was going on. Rachael was going to be out of the office all day so Janice had full use of her office to do what she had been asked to do. Janice had went through all of the other employees when she finally came to Ted Forester. She
