DILEMMAS THE HIGHFLYER
If you ever got a chance to speak to one of my bosses about me he'd probably tell you that I'm doing well and should expect to get rapid promotion. 'Highflier' is the word he'd use. Tell that to my mates and they'd laugh. They think I'm a pushy bastard who won't take no for an answer and always gets his own way. Well I suppose that's true. I'll do almost anything to get what I want even if it involves taking one or two risks. There are limits though. When it comes to having sex with people at work I am a bit careful and don't go looking for it. But, of course, if it comes my way, I don't exactly say no. That would be stupid wouldn't it?
About six months ago I was working late and I was the only one left in an office I shared with three other people. At about six thirty I heard a knock on the door. I knew it was about the time the cleaners were doing their rounds and I was expecting to see Jenny, a cheerful, elderly woman who normally cleaned our office so I put on my most pompous voice and shouted ' Cuuuum iiiin'. Fuck did I look a pratt when the door opened. It wasn't Jenny standing there but a young boy, no older than seventeen, looking as horny as hell. He didn't come into the room straight away but just stood there and asked very politely
' May I clean your room please sir'
I just stared at him and muttered
'Yes carry on'
This was so fucking unexpected that for the next ten minutes I got absolutely no work done. My eyes just followed the boy round the room. I didn't say anything to him and he didn't seem to take much notice of me but my cock kept telling me that I ought to be a bit more friendly. When the boy finally finished he turned to me and said
'Is there anything else I can do for you sir?'
'No that's fine.' I said ' Will I see you tomorrow?'
'Don't know yet sir. It depends where they send me but I think so'
Was there anything else he could do for me? Yes there fucking was. I wanted that boy and I was going to get him. As soon as I got home that evening I went straight to the bedroom, stripped off, lay on the bed and began to massage my cock. My mind was fixed on one thing and one thing only and that was how I was going to seduce the boy. Various possibilities went through my mind. I could rub up against him by accident but that would be a bit difficult as the office was quite big and he could easily get out of the way. I could spill a cup of coffee down his trousers but unless I had another pair with me for him to change into he'd probably leave straight away. By the time my cum finally spurted all over my chest I'd made up my mind. It was quite simple really. I would ask him if he would clean the top shelf in one of the cupboards, hinting that I'd give him a tip if he agreed. The shelf I had in mind was a bit on the high side and he'd have to stand on a stool to reach it. Me being the considerate person I am would have to hold him to make sure he didn't fall!
The following day as six thirty approached I was ready even though I wasn't certain whether the boy would be doing the cleaning. When the knock on the door finally came I composed myself and called out 'Come in' in my usual voice. The door opened and fuck there he was in the doorway. Even though he was dressed up in cleaners' uniform he looked hot.
' Can I clean your room please sir?'
'Yes. Come in' I muttered and then in as controlled voice as I could manage 'I'm glad it's you. You did a good job yesterday and I was wondering if you would do me a favour...' I was just about to suggest I'd give him a fiver if he did what I asked when he interrupted me
'No problem sir'
I then explained about the top shelf in the cupboard but said I was a bit concerned, as I didn't want him to fall. I suggested it would be best if I held on to him while he was doing the cleaning.
' No problem sir' came the reply
The cupboard was quite big so as soon as we got inside I turned the light on and almost closed the door, just in case somebody else came into the office. As the boy was quite short, about five eight I'd say, he had to stretch up to reach the top shelf even when he was standing on the stool. At first I held onto his upper legs but as he began to clean I gradually moved my hands up until I was holding him quite firmly just below the hips. The boy seemed quite relaxed so I decided to take the next step. This I knew would be crucial. I gradually began to stretch the index finger of my right hand in the direction of his bulge, pausing every now and again just in case he showed some resistance. It was during one of these pauses that I had a surprise. There was I was thinking I still had quite a way to go when I felt something fleshy push against my finger. Fuck. I was now pretty certain I had him. So I moved my finger a bit nearer. It happened again and I realised the boys' cock was not wrapped up in tight briefs but was throbbing away down the side of his trousers. I moved in. I brushed my right hand across the front of his trousers and then gave his cock a squeeze through the material. The boy didn't say anything and continued tidying the shelf but more slowly. I then undid his flies, put my hand inside his trousers, took hold of his cock and began to massage it. He stopped what he was doing and I heard him mutter to himself 'Wicked'
I then whispered, 'Sit down on the stool and enjoy yourself.'
He did as he was told straight away.
Although I wanted to see him naked I thought it would be a bit risky if I took his trousers off as somebody might come in so I just got his cock out and buried the whole of it in my mouth. It wasn't one of those big cocks probably about five and a half but it was juicy. I sucked and sucked and sucked. I was a bit too aggressive though because it wasn't long before he came. He gave a low 'Aaaaah...fuck' and then squirted. It all went into my mouth. I swallowed the lot and then, as if nothing had happened said
' Want to do the cupboard again tomorrow?'
The boy nodded, put his cock away and then continued to clean the rest of the office. He didn't say a thing to me until he left. Just as he was about to open the door he turned round with a sly grin on his face and muttered
' See you tomorrow.'
I gave that boy a blowjob in the cupboard every day for the rest of that week. It got better and better each time. Towards the end of the week I'd started to lower his trousers and stick a finger ups his arse as I sucked his cock. I could tell from the noise he made that he enjoyed it. That wasn't enough for me though. He was so fucking hot I wanted to get my cock up his arse. I knew it would be too dangerous at the office so the only thing to do was to think of some way of persuading him to come back to my place. The trouble was I didn't know anything about him - his name, his age, or where he lived. I eventually decided to ask him straight out. I had to choose the right moment, though, but I knew exactly when that was. Just before he shot his load he would start moaning very quietly and I'd feel his cock getting ready for the final moment. When it got to that point I would take my mouth off his cock look straight at him and ask him. He wouldn't be able to refuse.
When Monday evening came I was all ready. I heard the usual knock on the door and called out ' Come in' but to my fucking annoyance and surprise it wasn't the young guy that appeared but an elderly woman I'd never seen before. Fuck what a let down. I immediately left her to it and went to find the supervisor to see if I could find out what was going on. I gave him a load of crap about the boy being a really good cleaner but was told that he'd been sent to another office block where they were short of staff. I never saw boy again.
About three months after this I was promoted. I now had my own office and my own personal assistant. Although I was based at Head Office my new job involved me visiting offices around the country. Usually my personal assistant, Sue, came with me. However she was getting married soon and decided that she didn't want to be away from home so much and asked if she could move to another department. It was then suggested to me that it would be a good idea if a young person were appointed to the job so that I could train them up. I agreed. The day of the interview came and I went down with one of those stomach bugs so I couldn't attend. At the time I was fucking annoyed but there was nothing I could do about it though and somebody was offered the job. I don't know why but I assumed that another young girl would be working with me so when I returned to work on the Monday I had a fucking surprise. At about half nine my boss came into the room followed by a young boy of eighteen. The guy was about five nine with dark eyes and dark hair. He was dressed in the kind of grey suit that make most guys look sexless but he was hot. 'This is Tom' my boss said ' Your new PA' My cock immediately started getting restless and I could hardly concentrate on what my boss was saying. Things got worse during the course of the day. All the time I was trying to explain the job to Tom I kept thinking about what we could do in the cupboard. What a wank I had that night thinking about him.
After about two days, though, I started getting used to having him around, my cock settled down and I began to dismiss him from my fantasies. He kept telling me how he'd pulled the night before and then started going on about the birds in the office. When we went away on trips I didn't take much notice of what he did during his time off and I assumed he went off looking for some bird to pull. That suited me fine. I had to work most evenings getting ready for the following day and would usually spend most of the time in my room, only going down to the bar for a drink at about ten.
It was on one of our trips when we were visiting an office up north that I first began to have doubts about Tom. I was just locking the door of my room before going down to the bar when I saw a young boy, very much like one of the waiters in the restaurant, leave what I was sure was Tom's room. When the boy saw me he moved quickly, got in the lift and closed the doors before I could get anywhere near it. The following trip something similar happened but this time it was a guy of about twenty-five who left Tom's room. I'd never seen the guy before and he made no attempt to avoid me. We got in the lift together and when we got to the ground floor he made for the front of reception and left the hotel.
About a month later we had to go back up north again. It was a really big job and we would be there for the whole of the week. I wanted to make sure I was properly organised for a nine o'clock start on Monday so I suggested to Tom that we go up on Sunday. I wasn't certain how he'd take this, as it would probably fuck up his weekend. When I put the idea to him, though, and said I was prepared to give him a day off during the week he made no objection. On the contrary he looked quite pleased and immediately said
'That'll be fucking cool. Can I have Tuesday off?
As usual I left all the arrangements to Tom. When he gave me the details I found that he'd booked into the hotel where I'd seen the young boy coming out of his room and I began to wonder about him again. My suspicions became stronger when we arrived at the hotel. We found that there'd been a mistake and we'd been given a double room and not two singles. Not only that as the hotel was full for the whole of the week there was no way things could be changed. I wasn't over fussed but Tom was obviously completely pissed off by this and kept on arguing with the receptionist. But it was no use.
Soon after we'd arrived Tom went off on his own. When he came back he couldn't stop fucking talking. He told me in great detail where he'd been and what he'd been doing. He said he'd found a good pub with a large screen where he could go of an evening and watch football. After dinner on Monday though he suddenly became very secretive. We were on our way back to the room when he muttered ' Won't be a minute' and suddenly disappeared. Where he was going I'd no idea but he wasn't long and when he got back to the room he didn't say anything, unlike the previous day. For the rest of the evening he stayed in the room helping with some paperwork, which was strange as I expected him to go round to the pub he'd been talking about. Still I didn't mind because as a result of Tom's help I finished the work quickly and we were both able to go down stairs for a drink at about nine. I didn't stay long and after about half an hour I left Tom chatting to one of the barmen and went back to the room to watch television. I had no idea when Tom went to bed, as I was already asleep when he got back to the room.
The following morning I left for the office without speaking to him. He was still asleep when I got up so I had breakfast alone. It was a hectic morning and I began to regret giving him the day off. Things were made worse because I'd left an important folder at the hotel and I had no alternative but to go back to collect it. I took a taxi and arrived at about two. I made straight for my room not expecting to see anybody. When I opened the door of the room, though, you could have fucked me on the spot. There was Tom with the young waiter guy on the bed. Neither of them had a fucking thing on. When they suddenly realised I was in the room they froze, their cocks visibly shrinking. I tried to act as normal as possible, walked across to the table, picked up the folder and casually said,' You can carry on now you two. I only want my folder.' I left straight away but fuck did I want to stay. I'd never seen two young teenagers in that kind of situation except in a porno.
When I got back to the hotel that evening at about six Tom was sitting in the room looking unbelievably stressed out. I'd hardly got in the room when he said
' Sorry about this afternoon.... will you have to report it?'
' Don't talk fucking nonsense' I said ' It won't go any further than me'
'You sure?'
'Course I'm fucking sure. Don't worry yourself'
' What about Andy...I mean the other guy? He's shit scared you'll report him and he'll get the sack. He's even more shit scared that the hotel will say something to his school'
' You'd better go and tell him not to worry. I told you it won't go further than me'
' He's not here at the moment. He's gone home and I don't know where he lives. He only works Monday and Friday evenings. He bunked off school this afternoon.'
'Fuck' I thought this is getting more and more interesting. I then turned to Tom ' How old is he then?'
'Sixteen'
I went and had a shower and couldn't stop myself having a wank as I thought about what I'd seen that afternoon. I then chatted with Tom about work before going down for dinner. This seemed to relax him a bit so I decided to avoid talking about what he'd been up to, for the moment at least.
Halfway through the meal however, Tom suddenly said ' You sure you won't say anything?'
' Fucking sure' I laughed 'I'd have joined in if I'd had time. Now don't talk about it down here somebody might hear'
I was now determined to have Tom but I wasn't going to push things too far, too quickly. I was prepared to wait until Wednesday in order to make sure I got what I wanted. However I was hoping he would pick up the hint I'd dropped. He wasn't the only one on my list, though. Call me greedy if you like but I'd also made up my mind I wanted Andy as well.
On Wednesday on the way back from the office I knew it was time to make a move but I didn't want to scare Tom off. After all I was his boss. It wasn't long though before Tom provided me with an opening. As soon as we got back to our room he had a shower. He was in there fucking ages and I suspected he was enjoying a good wank. After about twenty minutes I knocked on the door of the shower and yelled out
' Fucking hurry up Tom I know you're wanking but I need a piss'.
About two minutes later Tom appeared. He had a towel round his waist and I could see a whisper of hair on his smooth chest and a slight bulge down below. My cock started to increase in size.
While I was in the bathroom I had shit as well a shower so I was in there quite a time. When I came out Tom was on his bed with just the towel round him He gave me a sly look and said
' Who's been wanking now?'
I didn't say anything but lay on the bed and pretended to read, all the time looking at Tom out of the corner of my eye. After a few minutes I spoke
' That wasn't the first time you had it with that guy was it?
I could see the look of astonishment on his face as he burst out
'How the fuck do you know?
I ignored the question
' You had it with him when we were here last. That's why you booked in at this hotel isn't it?' Tom started to speak but I carried on
'You had it with that barman guy last night didn't you? What you do with him?'
' How the fuck do you know?'
'You also had it with a guy about my age on one of our other trips didn't you?
For the third time Tom almost yelled out
'How the fucking hell do you know?'
I laughed ' I had CCTV cameras put in your room. Now tell me what you did with the barman?
'Oh...he just gave me a blow job in one of the toilets'
' How many guys have you been with when we've been away?
'Six'
'You fucking bastard there's me working away and you...' I started to laugh again and could see Tom's cock beginning to throb under his towel.
It was time to stop the banter and make a move. I got up walked towards his bed, sat down on the edge and gave his cock a squeeze. He immediately removed the towel to reveal a good seven inches pointing up towards his stomach. I bent over and began to lick the tip of it. He lifted his hips slightly and muttered
'Oooooh fuck'
Tom has got one juicy cock, long and thick. My lips worked away and my tongue worked away and Tom began to moan 'Aah...aah...aah...aah...' Eventually his cum began to spurt into my mouth but as it did so I continued sucking to make sure there wasn't a drop left in his cock. Tom then looked at me and laughed
' Thanks boss!'
I'd now decided that whatever happened I was going to get my cock up Tom's arse. I was also going to make a move on the Andy Guy as soon as I got a chance. Better still I was going to try and get them to have a threesome with me. If I was going to have any chance of getting that far though I reckoned we would have to stay another night at the hotel. We were due to leave Saturday morning and since Andy worked on Friday evening that wouldn't give me a lot of time to seduce him, if he needed seducing that is. So when Tom wasn't around I went and booked us in for another day. I didn't tell him what I'd done.
When we got back to the hotel about five on Thursday I was ready for sex so I stripped off straight away and took my time folding my clothes up. All the time my cock was getting stiffer. I made my way to the shower expecting Tom to follow. I wasn't disappointed. Within a few minutes he was standing at the door of the showers slowly wanking his cock. In a mock serious voice he said
' Can I come in?'
' Why?' I laughed
' If you don't fucking know the answer to that you don't know anything'
I didn't say anything more I just moved slightly forward grabbed his throbbing cock and pulled him in. Then almost without me realising what was happening he was down on his knees and my cock was in his mouth. I thought to myself ' Who's the fucking boss now?' but as it had been almost six months since anybody had given me a blowjob I didn't mind. It was obvious Tom had had quite a bit of practice and it wasn't long before he had me groaning. I put my hands on his head and I was gently fucking his mouth while he was swirling his tongue round the tip of my cock. Tom wanted to keep my meat in his mouth until the end and I let him. Even when I began to yell out ' I'm cumming... I'm cumming' he kept at it. When it was all over I looked him and said ' That was some fucking blowjob' He just grinned and said
'Thanks boss!'
We got dressed quickly and went down for dinner. All the time though I was thinking about how I could get my cock up his arse. I decided that the only thing to do was to tell him outright what I wanted so as soon as we got back to the room I said
' You going to let me fuck you now?'
' Never been fucked before'
'Always a first time'
' Don't fucking hurt me then'
' It won't hurt if you do as I say '
Tom managed to get all his clothes off before I did and stood in the middle of the room, his hands by his side and his uncut cock pointing up to his stomach, waiting for me. I gently took hold of him and began to lick his chest and then work my tongue down his body. Even before I'd reached his cock he'd started to moan
'Ah...ah...ah'
This time I didn't take his cock in my mouth but slowly licked it while at the same time I put my hands behind him and gripped his arse. Then very slowly I put one finger in his hole and moved it around. Suddenly Tom yelled out
'Aah..fucking cool'
I then put two fingers in and Tom was well on his way. I slowly turned him round and whispered
' Just relax and push back when I tell you'
Soon the whole of my cock was inside him and I was thrusting away. Tom had done a good job sucking me off earlier as it meant I could keep going for a good long time. However even I can't go on all night so when I couldn't hold back any more I pulled him towards me buried his neck in my mouth, gripped hold of his cock and began to rub it hard. Fuck did that boy enjoy what I was doing to him. He started to make so much fucking noise I thought the room next door would hear.
The next thing on my list was Andy. I really wanted to fuck that guy and when we got back to the hotel on Friday all I could think about was how I was going to get my cock in his hole. The trouble was I couldn't be sure whether he would want to see me let alone do anything. I was going to be ready for him, though. Both Tom and me had a shower but we didn't do anything as both of us wanted to get down stairs to see whether Andy was around. As soon as we reached the restaurant we spotted him but throughout the meal he didn't come anywhere near our table and it seemed to me he was trying to avoid us. I was beginning to think I might not get what I wanted so at end of the meal I muttered to Tom
' You'd better go and see him. He looks fucking nervous to me. Tell him to come up to our room when he's finished.'
I left the restaurant straight away and went back up to our room, leaving Tom to go and sort out Andy. He was gone well over half and hour and I was beginning to think he was giving Andy a blowjob in some dark corner. When he returned. I simply said to him.
'Well?
' He'll be here as soon as he's finished'
'What did you tell him?'
'Not a lot. Just told him not to worry and that you were fucking cool in bed. He wanted to know all about it but we were interrupted so I said I'd see him later.
I couldn't wait until Andy arrived and it was obvious Tom couldn't either. We tried watching television but there was fuck all on. I then tried to quiz Tom about Andy's sex life but didn't get much information out of him.
When Andy eventually arrived he sat down in a chair right next to me. It didn't take long for me to reassure him. I placed my hand on his knee and he immediately opened his legs wide. I didn't hang about. I rubbed my hand all over his bulge which was rapidly increasing in size, then gripped hold of his cock through his trousers and gave it a squeeze. He just looked at me and slid further down into the chair so I took him by the hand led him over to the bed and I told him to lay down. I then began to undress him slowly. What a fucking sight he was naked. He was about the same height as Tom but with fair hair. He had an incredible eight-inch, uncut cock and a lovely smooth body.
While I was preparing Andy Tom was undressing himself but looking at us all the time. He then moved over to the bed, bent over Andy and took his cock in his mouth. I began to undress, wondering whether Andy had ever been fucked before. I then got a condom, put it on, moved over to the bed and raised his knees. He put up no resistance so I started to grease his arse with Vaseline. As I was doing this Tom stopped playing with Andy's cock and started to give him a passionate kiss.
I was now pretty certain Andy had been fucked before. Although his hole was tight he did everything right to make my cock go in easily. He didn't make much noise - not that he had much chance with Tom going absolutely berserk kissing him but my long slow thrusts were obviously getting him really worked up. Suddenly there was a grunt and his cock began to spurt cum all over his chest. When Tom realised what had happened he stopped kissing Andy and began to lick as much cum up as he could. That finally sent me over the top so I whipped my cock out of Andy's arse, pulled the condom off and began to wank as hard as I could until my cum was all over both Tom and Andy.
It was at that point that Andy must have noticed the time because he suddenly said
' Got to go'
Tom yelled out, almost in desperation
' Fuck no'
'Got to. Didn't tell my mum I'd be late' The young guy who had allowed us to do exactly what we wanted a few moments ago now had a determined look on his face so I interrupted
'Can you come round tomorrow Andy? We're not going back till Sunday' Tom looked at me in complete surprise. I just grinned at him.
It didn't take long for us to agree that Tom would meet Andy down town sometime Saturday afternoon and they'd both come back to the hotel at about four. Andy got dressed quickly and left us in the room both naked. When he'd gone Tom turned to me and said
'I didn't know we were going on Sunday'
'Well you fucking know now' I said laughing
'I'll have to ring home'
' You can do that in the morning. Now fucking come here - your cock needs some attention'
Tom didn't say a thing but did as he was told. For the next half hour I worked on his cock and listened to his moans as I kept bringing him to the limit before pausing. It couldn't last for ever, though, and he finally burst out ' I'm cumming I'm cumming.aaah....aaah.......I'm cumming...fuck' and shot his load all down my throat.
Saturday morning Tom went out and I did some work. By two I was ready for anything. In a way I'd already got exactly what I wanted. I'd fucked Tom and I'd fucked Andy. The time had come I thought to see if I could get Tom to fuck Andy so I could watch. I was just thinking about how to organise this when the two boys arrived back early. As they came into the room both of them looked so hot I couldn't make out which one to choose. The answer of course was quite simple - I'd have both of them. I'd fuck Andy then get Tom to take over and then I'd fuck Tom.
Things couldn't have work out better. Grinning all over my face I said to Andy
' You ready for me to fuck you again?'
' Fuck yeah that was wicked last night'
Well it wasn't long before my cock was up his arse. This time while my cock was thrusting away Tom was working on Andy's cock and, fuck me, unlike the previous day, Andy couldn't keep quiet. First he was encouraging me then he was encouraging Tom. How many times he said fuck I can't remember.
I needed to make sure Tom was ready to take over when I finished so just as I was about to reach a climax I muttered to Tom
'Get ready to shove your cock up Andy's arse' He nodded and moved round so he stood next to me. Within moments I was shouting ' I'm cumming I'm cumming' and shot my load. As I withdrew my cock I saw Tom trying to put a condom on his cock. He was shaking all over and having some difficulty so I gave him a bit of help. While this was going on Andy started muttering
'Fucking hurry up Tom. Fucking hurry up. I want your cock up my arse'
Tom's cock went in quite easily and I stood watching him as he began to pump away. The sight of two young guys completely out of it made my cock stiffen up again almost at once.
Unfortunately Tom didn't last long and he was soon squirting his cum into the condom. Andy looked exhausted but I wasn't and I now wanted to get my cock up Tom's arse. As Tom slowly took his cock out of Andy arse I got behind him and gripped him by the shoulders. He knew what I was going to do, so he put his right hand behind his back, got hold of my cock and guided it towards his hole. It wasn't long before I was pumping and he was groaning.
'Ah...ah....ah....ah...'
Andy, who was looking at what was going on suddenly recovered, sat up, grabbed hold of Toms' cock, whipped the condom of it and began to wank it. It wasn't long before it was stiff and hard again. Andy then stood on the bed in front of Tom and shoved his cock into Tom's mouth. As he did so I put one of my hands round Tom's waist and grabbed Andy's cock. It wasn't long before all three cocks exploded.
On Sunday our train didn't go until about midday and as we had a bit of time on our hands so after breakfast, I said to Tom.
' What do you fancy doing this morning?'
He immediately replied 'Give you a fuck '.
This came as a bit of a surprise.. Although I'd been fucked quite a number of times and my hole was not exactly tight I did like to be in charge. After a moments thought I said
' OK then but we'll do it in a slightly different position from yesterday'
We both undressed and I made Tom lay on the bed. I then knelt astride him, put a hand behind my back and guided his cock into my arse. I then started moving up and down and at the same time began to wank my cock with my right hand. Tom just closed his eyes and muttered 'Fuck...fuck' every few minutes.
On the way home in the train I thought about Andy and how I'd succeeded in getting my cock up his fucking cute arse twice but it was Tom that was on my mind most of the time. I thought back to the day he was first introduced to me and the way I'd fantasised about him that very same night. Now I'd got my way with him. I'd sucked him and I'd fucked him. Not only that he'd sucked me and he'd fucked me. 'This is only going to be the start' I thought. I wasn't going to be satisfied only having sex with him when we went away. Shit it would be three weeks before we visited another office and I couldn't wait that long. The trouble was it would be too dangerous to do anything in the office, except perhaps the occasional blowjob and so there was only one thing for it. I had to persuade him to come over to my flat regularly.
On Monday morning when I arrived at the office Tom was already there. He looked a bit nervous but I ignored it as I'd already decided not to say anything about what happened the previous week and carried on as normal. Then suddenly Tom came up to me and said
' Can I see you urgently before anybody arrives?'
' Of course' I replied ' have you got a problem?
Tom looked at me and I looked back at him waiting for him to say something. Eventually he came out with it.
'I need you as a reference.'
Without thinking I said ' No problem' assuming it was for something like a passport. Then came the shock. In almost a whisper he added ' I want to transfer to one of our offices up north'.
For the rest of the day I didn't know what to do. The trouble was a good reference from me would mean he would certainly get the job but I couldn't change my mind without giving a good reason. Then I began to think. A word in the right place, a telephone call to the right person....
