was pure need and it made me look away. “Maggie, that dress.”
I looked down at it and smiled. “Do you like it Sir?”
“Yes. I am starting to think there is a whole other side of you.”
I took my seat, making sure that it was away from his. He was looking at me like he was a starving man and I was the last morsel of food. It made me more aware of what I was wearing and who had given it to me. Steve came and sat down with me.
“So I want to talk to you about tonight Maggie.”
“Yes Sir?”
He shook his head. “You are still calling me that. It’s Steve. I want us to get to know each other better Maggie, especially if we are going to be working together so much.”
“Sorry Steve. So what did you want to talk about?”
“It’s about the party.”
I could tell he was stalling. It probably meant that I was not going to like what he was going to say. I had a feeling it was going to upset me, but I waited, trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
“I was hoping that you could mingle a bit more with the business men. They are all there to get away from their wives and a woman like you, dressed like that, could easily bring in all the funds that we need for the rest of the year. I saw the way George was looking at you. He has taken a liking to you, which is unusual for him and I am just asking you to capitalize on it.”
There it was. It was worse than his ‘be nice to him’ speech and it made me nervous. I didn’t mind mingling and talking to people, but by the way he said it, I didn’t think that that was what he was talking about. I was a writer after all, not one of the hired bimbos to make the men feel young again. He must have seen something on my face because when he looked at me, his eyes had softened.
“Sorry if that came out the wrong way. You are just so beautiful tonight Maggie and with a face like that, no man could tell you no.”
It wasn’t much better, but it was as good as it was going to get. I kept reminding myself that he was going to be a great President, even if he was just another sexist man in a business suit. Sometimes I just had to shut my mouth, knowing that everyone had their faults. I couldn’t blame him for wanting to use everything in his arsenal to get ahead, even if one of those things was me.
“I will try to get some mingling in tonight Senator.”
He thanked me, but all I wanted to do was punch him.

We got to the party and like before, there were tons of people there. I started to feel strange being there after a few minutes. I didn’t see George anywhere and I figured that he had found something else to occupy his time. Instead I did what the boss asked and did the rounds with the business men. Many of them I had looked into when they were making such large contributions and most had their eyes on my chest most of the time. It was disheartening, but I knew that a few of them were there for the right reasons. He was meant to be President and he was going to make most of the men in the room a lot of money.
“Maggie. How long have you been here?”
I turned around to his voice, forgetting the old man I had been talking to about public policies on taxes. “Mr. Billings. Nice to see you again Sir.”
“The dress Maggie, oh my. I knew that it would be perfect for you, but my word woman.”
He made me smile and then I looked down a bit embarrassed. I still had a bit of a buzz and with the glass in my hand, he made a gesture. “I thought you didn’t drink?”
“Well I guess I have changed my mind. Which is just as well with the looks I am getting in this dress.”
“I have been thinking about you Maggie. It’s strange that you have been on my mind so much. I never think about a woman for this long.”
“That’s kind of sad Mr. Billings, because it has only been a few days. But a man like you has many options to keep your mind off of things I would assume.”
“There is that fire again. Let me get you another drink and you can tell me about
