New Start

I was divorced shortly before taking my new position of manager in a small town running the local mill. At 48 and my ex-wife and children in the next state and not wanting much if anything to do with me, I started my new life. I had my own home and soon realized I was somewhat feared as the locals thought I was there to cut jobs or close the mill. Closing the mill wasn't on the agenda, nor was upgrading it was too expensive for the owners. It was profitable as is and upgrading wouldn't improve profits enough to warrant the cost of the upgrade. Profitable, so no plans to cut staff or hire except to replace anyone who left. I played on their fears a bit, but finally told them what was happening, and they could relax. I had an office manager who ran the office, and she was 38 widowed and had 2 small children 5 and 3. Okay looking, and she never dated since being widowed I far as I knew. Then I had to go to a meeting and needed her to accompany me as I wasn't fully up to date with everything at the time. To cut costs we shared the same room and had her 2 children with us. During the meetings they were in a child group provided by the hotel. We had all our meals together and saw the sights together and the last night before returning. I bedded her and she became my lover and soon to be my new wife, not because I got her pregnant, but because I asked her. But we are trying to have a child and as yet haven't succeeded. We started living together after she accepted my proposal.
