Chapter 22

“C-conference? And… I need to be there?” Jason asked.

Now, he was officially worried. Can it all start as a causal trip and then… he´s gone forever? Does he actually want to be with her, alone? The way there, all the time at the conference. And where are they staying? Plus, the flight back, if he´s ever coming back.

Jason was nervous, Mrs. Braxton seems kind, but what if it was all a lie? No women her size is so kind just because. What exactly does she want from him?

“Of course, silly. You´re my assistant. Plus, there´s a lot you can learn there. Just imagine, being surrounded by all those people, hearing from their success, learning from their achievements. You know, between you and me, men are not allowed there. You´ll be the only one.” She winked at him.

Should that comfort him? He was going to be the only man? THE ONLY MAN!!!

Can he reject her offer? Well, it´s not like she´s asking. He must be there, and if she says so, then it´s an order.

He didn´t feel safe, how long was the trip going to be? Where are they going? Who´s going to be there? He felt overwhelmed in the presence of eight-foot-tall amazons, now, how about a bunch of nine-feet-tall giantesses? Or worse! TEN-FEET-TALL!

This was too much to take in.

Mrs. Braxton could see the concern on his face. She thought he´d be excited for her special offer. It´s actually an honor to be invited. Plus, he´d be her special guest.

“Don´t worry, dear. I´ll take good care of you. Don´t be so tense.” She said.

“W-wha… for how long are we going to be there?” he asked.

Mrs. Braxton smiled, it seems he´s getting used to the idea.

“No more than three days. It´s not much of deal. But, it´s very special. Because I have an announcement to make! It´s something we´ve been working on, I mean, there´s still a long way for us to make the official announcement, but we can give them an advance of it.” He had no idea what she was talking about.

Jason was overwhelmed by her invitation. And when he learned it was across-country, some worries began to grow inside his mind.

So far? For so long? And surrounded by giantesses? He´d be eaten alive! Chewed up and spilled! That´s if he doesn´t get stepped on first!

If he was going to be the only man there, then this means that, no one will actually be aware of him! He hates it! All women have different approaches when it comes to men. But the one he fears the most is, not rejection, but to have all eyes on him. Too much attention.

He was worried, and now, it was time to tell Nataly. Mrs. Braxton explained that they will leave on Monday, first hour in the morning. He had less time than he thought.

First, a promotion, and now, a trip. A business trip, but still, wasn´t this going to fast? It felt so sudden, so soon! However, or how fast, it was doesn´t matter, now he´s got news to give.

But the thing is, how will Nataly take it?

“Of course not! You´re leaving next week? For THREE days?” It seems Nataly´s not much of a fan about it.

“That´s what my boss said. Three days, on the other side of the country.” He explained.

This were not the best news she´s got at dinner. The promotion sounded great, a little scary, but great! However, he´ll be away?

“And who´s going?” Nataly asked, trying to put all of the pieces together.

“I think… it´ll be just me and my boss. Mrs. Braxton.” He said.

Nataly seemed mad. But she had her reasons. He´ll be gone, for three days. Away from her, at the other side of the country. And on top of that, he´d be surrounded by gigantic women! It´s not like she doesn´t want him to go, but, is it safe for him?

“I really don´t like the idea, do you really have to go?” she asked. It was at times like this when she felt she couldn´t really do anything to keep an eye on him. She felt… useless.

He´ll be gone. To some conference. At the other side of the country. Surrounded by nine, ten, or who knows how much feet tall giantesses. She´s 6´4”, and she feels tiny next to those women, how about him? He´s his 5´10” boyfriend, she cannot allow him to go, who knows what those giantesses would do to him?

“I don´t like it,” she started. “I can´t let you go.” She declared.

This was the first time he´s ever heard Nataly saying such a thing. She´s always supportive, but now, it seems she´s not going to allow him to go. Why? Why is she so mad?

“You… you can´t?” he asked.

“No. So tell your boss you´re not going.” Nataly declared, just like that. Jason might be her employee, but he´s her girlfriend. And, she´s known him for much longer than she has. Nataly´s got her reasons. “You can tell her tomorrow.” She said, and that was the end of the conversation, well at least for this topic.

Jason really didn´t want to go, but he just couldn´t find an excuse. But, If Nataly´s saying no, then… could that be reason enough? He´ll have to try it.

The next morning, he arrived to the office, a little nervous about the news he had to give.

“Good morning, honey!” Mrs. Braxton said from her desk.

“Good morning, Ettie.” He´s still not cool with calling her like that, but if he doesn´t, then she´ll get mad.

She seemed so happy today. And she had her reasons. She´s been thinking about a few things all night. “Ready for our trip? You know, I actually have a few questions, have you ever taken a flight on first class?” she asked.

He was glad she mentioned that, because he had something to tell her. “About the trip… my, ehm… my girlfriend, Nataly, she… she told me she didn´t really… wanted me to go.” He said.

Mrs. Braxton smile faded away. “Why?” she asked, concerned.

“Well, she´s just… she doesn´t like the idea…” he said.

“That´s terrible!” Mrs. Braxton declared, “I believe that, it´s important that both parts agree when taking a big decision. She´s your girlfriend, and I´m sure she´s got her reasons.” She said.

Jason couldn´t believe it! She was giving? He thought she´d say she doesn´t care, get mad and, well, worst case scenario… fire him. But, was she saying that…?

“I understand, Jason. However, this is very important. I´d like to talk with her personally. Is she currently at work?” Uh oh.

“She… she is.” Jason declared as Mrs. Braxton turned at her computer and started typing.

“I see. Ok, Nataly… mhm, there she is.” She found her? How? Wasn´t her computer supposed to have only employee´s information? Nataly doesn´t work there!

Jason was puzzled. And, as Mrs. Braxton kept going, she kept murmuring what she was doing. “And her boss is… and the number…” and then, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed. Who was she calling?

“Hello?” Mrs. Braxton said. “Hi, I´m Henrietta Braxton,” as if the other person needed to know who was calling, she had the name right on the phone as it started buzzing. “Oh, no, it´s not an emergency. I´m just curious, you see, there´s a lady at your office who I´d like to talk to. Do you think you could let her come here?” no way, can she do that?

Can she call another office and just ask them to let someone free? To let them come here? Is Mrs. Braxton that powerful? The answer… yes.

Within a couple minutes, Nataly entered Mrs. Braxton´s office.

Jason couldn´t believe his eyes as his girlfriend walked in. She seemed confused, she was looking around the office, as if she had no idea what was going on.

“Don´t worry, I´ll talk to her. She´ll understand.” She winked at Jason.

Now, he feels some churning inside his stomach. Was this good?

“Welcome, Nataly. I´m Henrietta Braxton, but you can call me Mrs. Braxton.” Not Ettie? Suspicious…

“Hi, ma´am. I… nice to meet you.” She was so confused.

 Jason had no idea why she called her there. Why would his boss call Nataly to her office? To speak personally with her? To meet her face to face?

Mrs. Braxton stood up, rising higher and higher. Towering above them all. The 9´10” giantess stood up in all of her glory. Was that to intimidate? She clearly towers above Nataly. Even his tall girlfriend stands too small, even 6´4” Nataly seems tiny compared with Mrs. Braxton. Which totally makes sense. She´s over three-feet taller.

“Jason told me you were not… happy with the trip I´ve invited him to. I wanted to chat with you. This will be good for him, it´s a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity. May I know why you don´t want him to go?” Mrs. Braxton asked.

The fact that Nataly doesn´t even come up to her boobs, that she´s barely above her navel, that´s one of the reasons.

“I just… I don´t want him to…” Nataly said, feeling tiny. But mostly in anguish. In despair for his boyfriend to leave to a place full of giantesses. Being so frail…

Mrs. Braxton could see the concern in her eyes. And the lack of explanation, Mrs. Braxton was sure it was a reason from the heart.

“Don´t worry dear…” then, Mrs. Braxton bent, and as she added, “I may know why you don´t want him to come, is it…” the rest was a mystery. Jason couldn´t hear what she said.

However, as Nataly nodded, it seemed that Mrs. Braxton knew what she was talking about.

“I see. And I don´t blame you. I´ve been there. That´s why it´s very important for me that he comes with me. I´d like to make a change. Now, you´re not obligated to say yes, but I promise you, I´ll take care of him, he´ll be fine. Now, do you think he can come with me?” her words, so sweet, and what she´s said, it was so revealing.

Nataly had no idea a woman like her could think in such a way. Her words felt so warm, she truly understood.

“You promise?” Nataly asked.

“Promise.” Mrs. Braxton drove her hand to her heart, that was beneath her enormous rack, and made a promise from her very heart.

“In that case. If you assure me things will be alright. I think… I think he can go.” Nataly seemed so touched by her words. What had she said?

Jason couldn´t listen. But, what he could tell was, he´s going to take that trip. Whether he likes it or not…
