Into A Bigger Land - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Martin could take a quick glance at the rest of the people who worked there. Most of them were women, and they all look so pretty.

He wasn´t sure why he hasn´t met any other guy, back home, there´s at least one guy for every woman at the office, but here, well, things are more… feminine.

As he hopped into the elevator, he couldn´t help a quick thought coming to his mind. Are they all as tall? So far, he´s met no woman beneath the six-foot-mark. And his landlady, Mrs. Hudson, said all women were tall. At least 6´5”, like herself.

“So… does it mean, all of those ladies out there… they are amazons?” He didn´t mind the height, it´s just height, after all, however… how would that impact his development as a manager?

He had a couple minutes to think as the elevator drove him to the third floor. During that time, he wondered how things could be for him.

Standing at 5´8”, he´s not short, at least he doesn´t consider himself as short. Average, for sure, but not short. However, that´s on the place he comes from, here… what´s the average height for a man here?

If any woman could stand at 6´5”, that would make him tiny in comparison! How can he be a leader if he´s shoulder level with his crew? How can he be taken seriously if everyone looks down at him?

He could begin to imagine the jokes they will all play on him. The things they would say.

“Hold on, Martin, just think this through, do you think they will all be so immature?” He´s at an office, everyone here´s an adult.

Sure, maybe they could let out a joke or two about him being short, but for how long? A week? Two weeks? After the first month, everything will feel as it does at home, he can be certain of that.

The elevator stopped on the third floor, and he walked out as soon as the doors opened. But not before he encountered another couple people.

Two ladies, to be precise. And he wasn´t even shoulder level with them.

“G… mornin´” he said, smiling at both.

At first, he could see the impression, the shock in their faces. They were not prepared to see him. Was a 5´8” man so uncommon around here? He felt as if someone had drawn a mustache on his face with a marker.

He noticed their eyes going up and down, and when they were done, instead of just looking at him and passing him by, they smiled.

“Good morning.” Both said, and not with a robot-like tone people usually have at the office. Not even between giggles, he noticed something different. Interest.

They were both like models, like super models! Both of them so pretty. He just smiled and walked past them. Both ladies looking at him with such attention.

Both hopped into the elevator, and before the elevator´s doors closed, he could listen to them. Gossiping right behind him.

“Is he the new guy? He´s handsome…” One of them said, he wasn´t sure which, but it´s been said.

Handsome? Him? Why do they all think of him that way? Why do they all seem to look at him with such attention?

Mrs. Hudson wasn´t lying? He thought she said all women liked foreigners because, that way, she could disguise her interest, at least the one she seems to have on him. But what if it was true?

The way the front-desk lady looked at him. Is he… actually handsome here? Is he like… popular?

Well, that´s something unexpected for someone his age. At least when you´re not in some sort of movie where everyone loves you. Where all people like you for your natural charisma, your positive energy, your perfect smile. He doesn´t have any of that.

Still, people around seem to notice him. Is it good?

Another couple faces turned towards him as he made his way. It seems the word spreads across the office quite fast. He´s the man of the moment.

“Wow, so much attention.” He thought. Back home, he could´ve walked down the office and barely be noticed, but here, he can feel a pair, or two, of eyes on him.

“I wonder, would that make me the boss´s favorite?” It´s not like he wants that. It´s not like he´d take advantage of that, but it´s an honest question.

If he´s “attractive” here, could that also help with the boss? It´s not like he´s trying to abuse his luck, or looking for any sort of special treatment. But what could be the advantages on this?

“Mrs. Legend” Read the label at the door. A golden plate, about six-inches wide and two-inches tall.

Martin wasn´t sure how to feel about this. His former boss was just a guy who, like surely a few, thought he was so funny, but he got the job done.

Knock Knock

He knocked her door and waited for her response. He was confused when he didn´t listen to the immediate “Come in!” from the other side.

He waited a moment and then knocked again.

knock knock

This time, there was an answer.

“You may come in!” Said a woman´s voice.

Martin felt nervous. Just a little bit. Who was his new boss? How was she?

As soon as he crossed the door, his questions were answered. Well, at least the ones about the way she looks.

Stunning, that´s how she looks.

Mrs. Legend was a mature woman, but not as mature as Mrs. Hudson. Probably, about ten years younger? It´s hard to tell.

What he can tell is that she´s got long, brown hair. Not too straight, but not too curly either, slightly wavy, maybe?

Her eyes, the second those bright blue eyes stared at him, he froze. But not for too long.

“You must be Mr. Jones.” The woman said.

“I am, yes!” He nodded.

“I was wondering who´d be knocking on my door. We don´t do that around here. Normally, whenever there´s anything to ask, people just walk in.” She explained. Even her voice was charming. Soft, sweet, attentive.

“Oh, that´s… good to know.” He replied.

She was beautiful. He´d love to work with this woman. However, there was a question he couldn´t avoid, how tall is she?

“Let me, just let me get up, I´d like to welcome you with a handshake.” She said.

“Oh, there´s no need, I can… walk…” Walk towards her desk, that´s what he wanted to say before she stood up.

Mrs. Legend pushed her chair back and began standing. And she went up, and up, and up. And he thought Mrs. Hudson was tall. He was so foolish.

Even if the ladies he met before were 6´8” or so, Mrs. Legend will definitely make them look short.

Martin tried to keep a smile on his face, he tried to appear as if nothing wrong was going on, trying to hide his amazement. Tall couldn´t begin to describe her.

She walked past her desk and then, she walked towards him. Martin couldn´t move his feet, he couldn´t even blink. He was just looking at her and smiling. However, he made a quick movement with his eyes. Maybe she was wearing heels?

He glanced, just to find out she wasn´t. Mrs. Legend was in flats, with less heel than his shoes even!

“It´s nice to meet you. And welcome! I´m sure you´ll like it here.” She said, a friendly smile and her long arm stretched towards him.

“I… thanks!” He replied, looking way up at the amazon his new boss was. He felt dwarfed by her cheering height, eclipsed by her monumental stature.

She was thick, her shoulders were wide and he could tell, even with the blazer she had, that her boobs were big. Her legs, when he looked down, also seemed thick. And her hips were wide.

She´s probably not as thick as Mrs. Hudson, but she´s certainly curvaceous. Very curvaceous. An alluring shape for this woman. Who, by the way, stands at 7´5”.

May she be the first boss he has that´s almost two-feet taller than him. He feels tiny. The handshake only proves that her big hand can engulf his without a problem.

“Please, take a sit.” She suggested.

“S-sure.” Was he intimidated? No. Was he concerned? Why would he? He was just… amazed.

All women are so tall, and she´s the tallest one he´s met! And they are all so gorgeous, and their bodies.

Mrs. Legend´s butt looks so tight, so firm, so sexy as she walks back to her sit. But that´s something he shouldn´t be staring at.

Their chat was brief, and he couldn´t see that look in her eyes, the one all the other ladies seemed to have. She´s not looking at him with such attention, she seems professional.

She told him where his office was and that he´ll be in charge of a group of three. Simple, and quite good for this being his first time as a manager.

“Oh, and don´t worry. They are not as tall as I am.” She said.

“What? Tall? Heh, who said something about height?” he asked, a bit nervous.

“Don´t be shy, it´s normal. I noticed the way you looked at me when I stood up. It´s fine, I´m tall, I know. And people from outside of the country are often amazed by my height. So, I´m just letting you know, don´t worry about them being too tall, ok?” she noticed, huh?

Was he so obvious? Well, who wouldn´t? He comes from a place where a woman that stands at 6´3” is super tall, how about a lady that stands at 7´5”? He can´t hide his amazement.

He made his way to his new office. Down at floor number two. Mrs. Legend told him there was a plate on his office too. One with his name. Which should make it easy for him to spot his office.

“Walk straight out of the elevator, and, at the end of the hall, just turn left.” He recalls her words.

And, as he was on his way, he met someone. Someone who seemed to be waiting for him.

“Hi there, new guy.” Came a woman´s voice. One that didn´t take long to appear.

“Me?” he asked.

“Who else?” Said the woman.

She stepped right in front of him. She was so tall, not as tall as Mrs. Legend, but still, she was really tall!

She stood at 6´11”, her hair was of a raven color and her eyes were of a pale green.

“I… I don´t know.” He replied.

“Haha, you´re funny. I´m Lexie.” She said as she stretched her arm, “What´s your name?”

“I´m Martin.” He replied.

“Martin, it´s nice to meet you. As you´ll soon learn, I´m the other supervisor on the floor. My team´s of five people, I understand you were assigned to the three new girls?” she asked.

“I guess, I haven´t really met them.” He replied.

“Don´t worry, they are nice. I just, you know, wanted to introduce myself in case you need some help. I know it´s not easy being new. You can rely on me if you ever need anything, ok?” she said.

“Wow, that´s so nice! Thanks!” he replied.

“You´re welcome. Now, I think your office is down the hall, to the right.” Lexie said.

“I… thought it was to the left. That´s what Mrs. Legend told me.” He replied.

“Oh, clumsy me, you´re right. Sorry.” She made a mistake, but it was no mistake.

He met his boss, and he was about to meet his team when this lady popped up. Lexie seemed friendly, but helping him wasn´t her main goal.

There´s not much going around here, and she´s often bored. However, the new guy would make things fun to her.

Behind that friendly face and that welcoming voice, she hides something. Some selfishness. She wants amusement, and Martin will give that to her. She´ll just tease him, a little…
