Text of the page (random words):
e staff i have strong suspicions that raoul s quick climb up the ladder of success is because of his willingness to play the game of the company that is to swing with them a few long lunch dates with aurélie and a few less than discreet conversations with pierre near the espresso machine in the small kitchen have indeed revealed more than anyone must have intended for if there is one thing i have learned in my time at allure it is that the monolingual members of our office will never know really what is happening around them so much so that the bilingual staff often forget who can understand them the missing piece to the puzzle that jean showed me was revealed one afternoon when i overheard plans between pierre and raoul for the couples to meet chez les dumas posted in thoughts leave a comment 8 may 2020 by lady dragonfly en p j new hires to allure including me were often confused by off the cuff comments from various longtime staff i witnessed this time after time in the revolving door of employees but my own moment came about a week after i started when a client came to visit unlike most of allure s clients this one was scandinavian an artisan whose wares were available in some of the finest modern shops i had gone to lunch when their founder arrived but when i returned i could see him in the conference room near my desk a lanky blond fellow in a tweedy sort of jacket and the standard business casual wear i would expect handsome isn t he jean surprised me as she rounded the corner from her own office talking a little louder than seemed necessary i like these nordic guys but the french guys who come in here not so much clearly everyone could hear what jean was saying and it seemed an inflammatory comment to make in an office where 75 of the employees and 95 of the clients were french not that the french exactly minded that jean found them unappealing the feeling seemed to be mutual jean complained about the french and the french complained about jean there were cultural issues jean hated and the snobbery stereotypically attributed to the french came right through when they were dealing with jean but nowhere was this mutual hatred more evident than with the pierre jean relationship as much as the rest of the office felt frustrated by jean it was pierre who made the particularly cutting and cruel comments about her and to her and as much as the company founder louise may have disliked pierre it was jean who seemed to hold a particular disgust for him after a while of working with pierre i understood jean s attitude toward him somewhat pierre was everything that louise had said a blow hard with no real direction except a great desire to feel important he never listened when others spoke because he seemed sure he already knew what they had to say he made up words in english and used them as though they were the latest terms that only he and members of his class were privy to as much as all of this infuriated me on a certain level it wasn t the sort of issue that i took too seriously especially in the beginning everyone seemed to see through pierre even his wife and whatever power he did hold even when he became partner was somewhat limited by others understanding of his own personal limitations not so with jean she was completely obsessed with him often gesturing to me that he was in the office by sticking her finger down her throat as if to vomit it was childish of course but it was visceral she hated him pierre for his part made fun of jean and went out of his way to make impossible demands of her some days he walked into the office and completely ignored her even when she said hello to him other days he slinked into her office and asked for information that jean would never give to him usually involving various technical aspects of the office he demanded private phone lines and internet connections and always had new gadgets that messed up the office wifi rather than doing things according to office protocol an archaic system of rules invented by jean many years ago pierre did as he pleased set up his own rules and never kept receipts in spite of the difficulty involved in working with a tempestuous toddler like pierre it was not impossible for most of us at allure to ignore him he often disappeared from the office for weeks at a time and during his returns he was usually preoccupied with some new hobby or department to run i had the misfortune of working closely with him on occasion but i quickly learned that it was a matter of doing the bare minimum if what he was asking was just tedious or expressing outrage if what he was asking was unethical or illegal bored as i was it was actually somewhat amusing to see what he would dream up next for jean though fear of pierre was an obsession so much so that i began to wonder was it fear at times she picked up her phone to tell me something a strange practice considering that her desk was steps away from mine nonetheless she usually had some sort of remark about pierre at a certain point it seemed that she was not afraid of the man not even disgusted but completely obsessed so i did some digging dear reader what i am about to tell you was a complete shock when i realized the truth but bear with me aurélie had joined louise morel s company years ago she was a seasoned professional in her admittedly dry field aurélie and louise evidently shared the common thread of having husbands who wanted to move to america for career opportunities and the women capable women in their own right made their ways they shared much common ground louise s husband though was a consummate professional pierre as i have said was not in the beginning though pierre was aurélie s guest at louise s dinner parties he was the spouse and back then he was younger and he had a sort of rugged latin look seemingly more aloof than arrogant back then maybe a sort of french new wave vibe whatever it was it was not impossible to imagine a naive american woman swooning a bit with the wine and the cologne and the accent and the promises and so it seems that jean drank the wine and pierre dipped his toes and a few other things into jean while jean had a strange body shape by the time i met her she still had enormous breasts which she still shows off with low cut tops when it is not a casual day she dresses well and i have mentioned her grooming habits the manicures and facials that is to say she worked with what she had and when she was younger it is not impossible to imagine that with her strawberry blonde curls and blue eyes she might be completely irresistible to a man like pierre owner of his own quickly failing business one who felt the loss of his manhood all the more when in the company of his ever more successful wife so after numerous flirtations in the small upstairs office pierre and jean found themselves thrust together in the planning of a new bigger headquarters for the new bigger company that would be called allure thrust together they were planning with the design team dreaming of the placement of desks and offices and technical needs and in all this excitement taking care of the practical side of a new company for aurélie all it took was the accidental brush of arm against breast hand against cock a quick unzipping the lowering of panties leaning over a sawhorse in the late afternoon to this day beneath the carpeting in the room that now is jean s office pierre s come remains on the floor a sticky though unseen reminder of that afternoon and the promise of allure sadly or happily perhaps for the spouses involved all it took was this one indiscretion for things to end pierre could not be friendly much less kind after his lapse and his arrogant demands to jean increased with his guilt jean for her part was hurt by this attitude and not at all happy to realize that the afternoon delight she had found in pierre s rear entry relief was to be a one time event and not an ongoing affair her own husband was usually too tired for romps these days and she could be discreet ah but pierre had rejected her too and that was just too much to bear while it might seem that the affair involved only jean and pierre in reality the affair and the rejection afterward were all symbolic of what was happening between the french and americans in the office the divide was growing and grew deeper as the hatred between jean and pierre grew posted in thoughts leave a comment 1 may 2020 by lady dragonfly jean dear readers i have mentioned so many characters here so far with absolutely no reference that i feel i must elaborate on one very important part of the aurélie experience and that is the office manager jean jean was a woman and as you might imagine in a french office her name caused a fair amount of gender confusion this frustrated her so she set her email signature to mrs jean bailey female all female and jean was indeed all female if one ever had doubts about this jean was quick to set the record straight she was woman she was proud she was sensitive hormonal and sick of men she was sick of her husband dick bailey she called him just bailey and her son dick bailey jr she called him dicky jean treated herself to luxuries with weekly trips to the hair and nail salons monthly trips to the masseuse and twice or more trips to play cards with her various buddies around her town bailey worked on the rails and though he was old school and bought his wife beautiful jewelry he also did the family grocery shopping and had dinner on the table for his wife when she got home the bailey family had a neat little house in a nice little town and the sort of fading blue collar respectability that bound her to many of the maintenance workers around town she grew up around them and never left but more than that and to the confusion of much of our office jean attracted men not all men but a lot of them it wasn t just that she was a dependable marijuana customer for the courier they actually flirted with one another jean drove me crazy but in spite of that i liked her i could also see why so many other people in our office did not her constant pleasure seeking came from a place of utter discontent she felt unappreciated and unloved she was gossipy and yelled at people when she was just in a bad mood because of this many of her worst fears were fulfilled completely and often with vengeance most of the allure staff were afraid to ask for office supplies but others simply worked around her or even tried to make her life difficult just for fun her mood swings were hard to dodge and impossible to predict so i vacillated constantly between commiserating with her about pierre et al and trying to stay out of her way to the point that nowhere in the office felt truly safe for all her faults though jean did work with me most of the time and for the first few years she was even nice even after she stopped being nice i tried to get along with her it seemed essential to my job and she also did understand some of the crazy things that happened in the office i was one of the few who knew that many of her complaints were justified one other thing to mention about jean was that she was a big woman it doesn t really matter in the scheme of things but her frustration with her size pushed her into a sort of adolescent frenzy for miracle cures still she was doomed in all of these inevitably giving in to her habit of scavenging around the office in the wee hours of the morning when she arrived some of the managers had taken to leaving traps for her in their desk drawers markers on granola containers cookie counts they took pictures and had proof but it wasn t because they really cared about their food it was because they wanted ammunition to take to aurélie when jean refused to help them with some ridiculous request or even a reasonable request jean was sure to deny until pressured to comply jean s constant criticism about the lack of communication only added to the toxicity creating a dynamic where she had more power the more that things stayed the same beyond the weight issue jean s general health was declining all the time she said she hurt most days and this is undoubtedly part of why she was so unpleasant she said she wanted to feel better and always was in the midst of the latest facebook or qvc fad these seemed more diversion than solution but i think she was so accustomed to depending on other people to take care of her that she had just stopped doing it for herself she wallowed in self pity and consoled herself with pleasure whether it was another handful from the bowl of peanut m ms a puff of weed in her car with a buddy or talking about sex with the telephone guy in the server room any demands of real effort for her own sake or for anyone else s were reminders that she could never truly escape as i have said i am no prude but her slaps on her ass and her teasing to the courier to come and get it just made me cringe the grunting the cussing her lack of concern about getting caught for her mistakes all may have been admirable if she were doing it to push for change but her efforts to distinguish herself this way were more to remind the established power that she was there to stay and in this she remained as the example for the company rulers her misuse of words and run on sentences a constant reminder of the general stupidity of all americans in all of that jean was always sure she was right and because she still made fun of the many employees whose native language was not english thus widening the gap between the french and the americans at a certain point jean became more and more distressed about a situation that had stripped her of most of her beloved duties as she pushed me away again and again i stopped trying to be her friend i believe this was the inevitable direction of her position dwindling duties as she approached her retirement ah no matter what the executive committee did the undeniable truth about jean is that she was a fixture they needed her she did know how an office works which was invaluable but there was more she knew secrets many secrets and the biggest secret of all which was key to her longevity at the firm she would never ever be fired posted in thoughts leave a comment 17 april 2020 by lady dragonfly founder i haven t much mentioned the origins of allure et cie but before the days of aurélie there was louise the founder of louise morel associates louise had a rich husband but also a brain discipline and the authority that i have known in many a french woman of a certain age cutting impervious to tears but also kind when you least expected it unwilling to tolerate bullshit she started the company seeing the opportunity after a few people asked her for some help getting their businesses on the ground in the states she seemed to be fascinated with that start up energy and with the businesses themselves and also in the lucrative possibilities in their inability to grasp american business practices well enough to stay out of trouble...
