THE WORKDAY couldn’t go by fast enough for Michele. She had been in a dreamlike state ever since Preston invited her to the cocktail party in honor of the president elect. She could hardly sleep the night before, and floated through the morning and afternoon on autopilot. She couldn’t concentrate on mundane office tasks, since all she could think about was changing her clothes and accompanying Preston to the cocktail party of the year. Unlike the debacle that unfolded while trying to get into the VIP reception at the Congressional Black Caucus event, Michele didn’t have to worry about getting past security using someone else’s name. Tonight, she would be on the arm of a Supreme Court justice, and no one would dare deny her entry. She felt like Queen for a Day, and if her plan worked, she would not only be Queen for a Day, she’d be the new Mrs. Hendricks for a lifetime. With that thought permeating throughout her brain, she hummed a no-name tune until it was time to change clothes.

Michele shut down her computer, walked into the foyer, and retrieved her garment bag out of the hall closet. She went upstairs without permission, which was something she would have never done if the Mrs. was in town. Since Preston was in his office on a conference call, she took her time and roamed slowly down the long hallway. She stopped outside of the master suite, opened the door, and eased inside. The room was larger than most New York studio apartments. The walls were painted a soothing robin’s-egg blue, with white trim. The drapes and duvet were in a matching combination of blue, chocolate, and white. The dark-brown furniture was sleek and modern. The room was neither overly feminine nor masculine; it was the perfection combination of both.

The vaulted ceilings and ivory marble fireplace gave the bedroom a romantic feeling. Michele walked over by the French windows. The setting sun was casting a radiant glow throughout the room, and she couldn’t help but fantasize about making love to Preston in the king-sized bed. She wanted to lie across the bed and pretend that they were in the throes of passion, but was afraid of making an imprint in the fluffy comforter. Instead, she strolled over to Ariel’s dresser, and ran her hands across her personal belongings. Michele picked up a bottle of perfume and spritzed her neck, wrists, and between her boobs with the expensive scent. Pretty soon, all of my things will replace hers, she thought.

With time ticking by, Michele left the master suite, and went down the hall to the guest room, which was much smaller, but also well-appointed. She took the gown out of the garment bag and laid it across the bed. She had showered earlier that morning, so she took a bird bath instead. She put on a strapless bra—something she hadn’t worn in years—before slipping into her evening gown. She sat on the edge of the bed and put on panty hose and a pair of black silk pumps.
