Pocket Rocket

My career was booming and after a promotion I 35 was entitled to an assistant, the previous person in my new position had used his wife and they both left together. So, nobody available in the office, so the HR section advertised. Five applicants, all looked good, but one stood out for no other reason than she was short very short. At 4'3" was perfectly proportioned for her size, on paper she 32 was very qualified. But HR thought her size would hinder her work, I saw her after her interview, and she looked a bit dejected. I think she pick up of HR's doubt about her abilities, but she was t6he one to tick the box able to travel short notice. Which was essential in my job, as I was sent very short notice to do my work across the country. I of course had the last say so I picked her, for no other reason than her availability to travel short notice. I think she was a bit surprised she got the job. The first month we got on really well and she was great at her job and her size was no problem. In fact, I think it gave her an advantage as other thought she would be a pushover. She I thought was a pocket rocket as I called her, she soon put a rocket up anyone patronizing her. No one could get away with it even my boss got put in his place. His reaction was funny, but he knew he had been wrong and apologized to her and told me I'd great assistant. After two months she had a problem, her building she was renting was sold for redevelopment. Nothing much available unless you like to travel for an hour and a half each day both ways. But it also was our busy season, I couldn't have her travelling long periods each day. I offered her a spare room in my apartment, till she could find herself a suitable place. Six months later we were still living together no romance, but we were very close. Christmas, we attended the office Christmas party together and enjoyed ourselves. I realized we got on very well at work and in our personal time. So, I asked her out on a date, more dates followed, and we became lovers. Last month I asked her to marry me, and she agreed, we're marrying next month. My boss wasn't surprised as he said we looked and acted like a married couple anyway. But added that will probably stop me from stealing her away from you when my assistant retires next year. Her size isn't thought of as problem even by HR now as they have had a run in with her a couple of times and lost each time.
