Seductive Company

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became as India made her way toward her suite. She was feeling used and abused as she walked up to her door, took out the key and unlocked the door. When she stepped in the room, she quickly turned on the lights and closed the door. She was not feeling like having any company but she knew she must to Danika. She searched around the room, making sure that Whitney had not returned from her mission as she strolled into her bedroom and sat on the bed. Although she tried, she just could not shake what Lady Davenport planted in her head about Travis’ plan to set them up. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. She frowned as she slowly got up off the bed and strolled toward the door. She opened the door slowly quickly noticing that Danika was standing there. She motioned for her to enter as she swiftly turned around and strolled away toward the bar. Danika looked at her puzzled as she quickly felt that something was troubling India as she asked, “Hey India...are you alright?” “What’s wrong girl?”

India looked up at her and then quickly looked at the glass as she poured two glasses of Christal. She put the bottle back in the bucket as she began to stroll around the bar toward her. Danika was getting worried as she watched her coming toward her as she handed her the glass and motioned for her to sit down on the love seat next to the picturesque window view of the beach. India sipped her drink and then she finally spoke as Danika listened.

“We’ve got issues.”

Danika gazed at her as she began to get frustrated as she responded, “Whatcha mean we got issues?” “What going girl...spit it out!”

India looked at her as she replied, “its Travis...”

Before she could say another word Danika jumped up and began shouting, “I knew it...I knew it that bastard has been lying to us from the get go hasn’t he?”

India looked at her as she said, “Hey girl calm down...sit here and let me tell what’s going on!”

Danika looked at her frustrated as she slowly sat back down. She waited for India to explain what was going as she looked down to the floor then back up at her.

“Well...I’ve been talking to Lady Davenport and...”

Danika quickly interrupted, “LADY DAVENPORT?”

India gazed at her as she replied, “Are you gonna let me tell you?”

Danika quickly signed as she gulped down her drink. India stood up and explained to Danika, what is really with going on as she slowly strolls around her.

“Danika...Lady Davenport told me that she heard from a reliable source that Travis is in the process of concluding a major marketing deal with Chase, Rollins, and Martin, a major competitor of her corporation.” “He’s planning to inform Mr. Bluefield that we traveled here to Nassau on our own accord, with the hopes of sabotaging the original strategy of getting the Bahamas corporations to collaborate with our corporation.” “He’s also planning to entrap us by exposing us as major conspirators that deliberately orchestrated this deceitful plan, which was not authorized by the corporation.”

Danika frowned as she responded, “See, I knew that bastard was using us for something...we shouldn’t have taken this assignment!” “Now he’s trying to frame us with some bull shit plan...but why?”

India stopped in the middle of the floor and gazed at her with a furious expression on her face and then she responded, “That’s not all Danika, Lady Davenport told me that he is using a carrier to send some incriminating documents to Mr. Bluefield. This will implicate us as staging this whole escapade and get this...there is a secret stash of about $300,000,000 million dollars tucked away somewhere in an off shore account!”

Danika’s eyes grew large as she shouted, “$300,000,000 million dollars?”

“Yep, you heard me...he’s planning to make it look as if we were swindling from the corporation all the time. He wants to frame us be producing these counterfeit documents to the CEO which will show that we stole from the corporation!”

Danika frowned as she replied, “So, this bastard must have set up an off shore account in our names so that he can show proof to the CEO that we’re stealing and then he’ll make the money miraculously disappears…he gets rich…and we’ll both go to jail!”

India sighed as she replied, “So is that’s his brilliant plan?"

Danika looked puzzled as she replied, “How do you know that this Lady Davenport is not just pulling your chain?” “I mean...why is she suddenly coming clean to you and how do you know that she’s not in cahoots with this bastard?”

India sat down as she replied, “I don’t know...that’s what we’ve got to find out!” “I’ve got someone back in the mainline standing by to intercept that packet when he sends it, but if we act fast...maybe we can stop it before it leaves here!” “We really need to get a plan together and we need to do it before Travis gets that packet out of the Bahamas!”

Danika stood up and begin to saunter toward the door as she replied, “India...we really need to get a handle on this shit before we end up in jail!” “I don’t know about you but I’m not trying to spend my life behind bars!”

India gave a serious look as she replied, “Just give me a minute...I’ll have a plan here to get us out of this mess...trust and believe that!”

Danika turned around toward her as she quickly strolled over and hugged her. India did not flinch as she allowed her to embrace her. Danika closed her eyes as she held her close for a brief second and then she moved back slightly, but as she did, she grabbed India’s left ass cheek, squeezing her slightly and then letting go.

India smiled as she watched her stroll toward the door and let herself out. She poured herself another drink as she thought, “What am I gonna do...I’ve got to fix this before this gets out of hand!”

Across the hall, Danika strolled into her suite and slowly closed the door behind her, locking it. She instantly removed her sandals and strolled directly into her bedroom. As she began to undress, an unidentified woman turned to face her as he lay in the bed.

“So...how’d it go baby?”

She looked distraught as she replied, “I don’t know...but I think she knows something!” “She knows that Travis is up to something!”

She quickly sat up as she responded to her words, “What do you mean?” “What did she say?”

Danika strolled over completely nude toward the bed and climbed in, getting under the covers as she responded, She’s been talking to that bitch, Marjorie...I told you that we shouldn’t have let her get close to her...what if she f*cks this shit up for us?”

The unidentified woman gently put her chocolate arms around her diminutive waist as she replied, “Don’t you worry baby...I got this shit under control!” “Just let me get to that packet before it goes to the corporate office by carrier tomorrow!” “Once that’s done...we’ll be rich baby...rich beyond our wildest dreams!”

She smiled at her as she turned away with her back towards her. Her friend quickly begin to snore as Danika laid there thinking, “I wonder if what she said was true...I wonder if I’m getting set up too?”

The mid-morning sun was tremendously bright as the tropical Caribbean breeze rushed through the clear blue ocean waters on the tremendously white sandy beach. India was standing on the balcony facing the picturesque ocean as she thought, “I need to find out when he’s planning to send that packet to the mainland...but how?” “I know I’ll call Whitney and see if she can help me.” She turned around to pick up her cell phone from the table and quickly dialed Whitney’s number. The phone rang several times and then she quickly answered, “Hello!”

“Hey...Good Morning...how’d it go last night?”

She giggled as she responded, “Well...he really believed that I was the one he f*cked back at the convention in Philly.” “You really had his ass sprung, girl!”

India smiled as she replied, “I don’t know why...I don’t even remember sleeping with him!” “Hey, look...I need you to do something else for me...where are you?”

She sat up in the bed and got up as she replied, “I’m in my room, why?”

India replied, “Are you planning on seeing him today...I need to get something from him but you have to do it...I can’t and it’s important!”

Whitney responded with concern in her voice, “What is it that you want me to get from him?”

India sighed as she replied, “I need you to see if he has a large brown packet in his room...if he does...I need you to get it for me, can you do that for me, Whitney?”

She smiled as she stood up and strolled toward the sliding doors.

“Sure...I can get it for you...but what’s it worth to ya’ll?”

India smiled as she replied, “Well...I can make sure that you get well compensated but you’ve got to trust me!” “Have I even let you down before?”

She sighed, as she answered, “No...You’ve always been fair to me...okay I’ll help you, but I need my money, okay?”

Whitney quickly hung up the phone as Danika turned around to face her. She looked at her sleepy eyed as she responded, “Who was that on the phone?”

Whitney looked at her ridiculous as she replied, “It was your girl...India!”

Danika quickly sat up in the bed as she responded, “India...what did she want?” “You didn’t tell her that you were with me did you?”

“No she thought I was in my room. She didn’t know that I slipped a “mickie” in his drink and came here with you late last night.”

Danika got out of bed as she replied, “So what did she want...I know she wants you to do something...WHAT IS HER REQUEST?”

Whitney gazed at her as she replied, “She asked me to help her get some information from Travis about some f*ckin’ packet that he’s sending back to your corporate offices.” “You both are getting on my nerves about this damn packet!”

Danika smiled as she replied, “Yeah...well that f*ckin’ packet is gonna make us filthy rich if we play our cards right!” “Get her the information...that way we can use it for ourselves and change the information so that she’s the one that gets caught up!”

Danika strolled out of the bedroom into the bathroom as Whitney faced the window. She pulled out a cigarette, lit it and quickly allowed smoke to filter from her nose as she thought, “You know, I’ve known India a long time and I don’t think she deserves to get set up like this...maybe I’m letting this money shit get to my head.”

“Wait...maybe I can work this whole thing out where we all can get what we want!”

She quickly went over toward the dressers and began to search for a large substitute envelope in all the drawers. She looked everywhere until she realized that there was none in the room. Suddenly, Danika came strolling back into the room as Whitney began to speak, “Hey Danika...I need to go to my room to get something...I will catch up with you later, okay?”

Danika gazed at her at a complete loss as she replied, “Well...okay, but I want to see you around lunch time, okay?”

Whitney smiled as she replied, “Sure...I’ll call you with a time later!” As soon as she responded, she ran out of the room, heading toward her suite. She quickly opened the door of the suite and ran into the living room toward the coffee table and there it was a large brown carrier envelope for shipping items. She opened it and found that it was empty. She smiled as she took out her cell phone and called India. The phone rang for several minutes until suddenly she heard a voice on the other end.

“Hello...who is this?”

“Girl...it’s me...Whitney...I need to see you...I think I’ve got a way to get the packet from Travis...Just do exactly like I tell you and we can get this done.”

India smiled as she replied, “Where do you want to meet?”

“I’m coming to you room...give me a few minutes and I’ll be right there, okay?”

“Sure, I’ll see you shortly!”

India smiled as she quickly hung up the phone. She strolled over to the coffee table, picking up some falsified documents that she put together implicating Travis in several financial mis-management situations and a copy of the contract that she signed with him to do this bogus assignment. As she gathered all the documents, she suddenly heard a knock at her door. She smiled as she quickly strolled over toward the door to open it. When she opened it, suddenly to her surprise it was Travis standing at her door.

“Travis...what are you doing here?” “I thought you were going to call a meeting with us, later?”

He laughed as he replied, “I plan to do that but I just wanted to come by and tell you that I was sorry for thinking that we slept together in Philly” “Whitney proved to me that she was the one that I was with that night...please accept my apologies?”

India was shocked to hear what he had just said. Despite the evil plot, he had in place to destroy her career and her life. She finally uttered a response, “Thanks, for that Travis...I appreciate that!”

“Sure...I’ll see you downstairs?”

“Sure...I’ll be down after I finish gathering my notes.”

She slowly shut the door as she thought, “I can’t believe this man...coming here and acting like he’s sorry for trying to ruin my life!” “I’ll show him what it feels like to destroy someone!”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She opened the door and this time it was Whitney.

As she strolled into the suite, she quickly handed India the empty envelope and said, “You could use this...maybe I can distract him somehow and switch the packets!”

India smiled as she replied, “I’ve got something for him!”

She took the envelope, quickly stuffed the fake documents into it, and then sealed it. She looked at Whitney as she responded; “Now all we have to do is get the real one from him.” “You go and see if you can get his attention and I’ll wait here until you gave me a call!”

Whitney shook her head in the affirmative as she quickly strolled out of the suite. As she closed the door behind her, India thought, “I really hope this works...I’ve got to stop this from happening!”
