Kate Gets a New Boss

This was definitely the job she wanted and somehow she had landed the interview. It hadn’t been easy for Kate to get here in this reception room waiting for her appointment. She had spent countless hours networking her way to get to see Paul Armstrong, the CEO of Armstrong International, and she knew it had to go well.

Kate had been out of work for awhile and she knew her money couldn’t last too much longer. She also knew that this job paid 40% more than anything else that was available and the benefits alone were the best around. It had everything she wanted: a great salary, great fringes, big bonus and a challenging position she knew she was ready for. Now she just had to sell herself and make this work. 

Kate wore her best business attire. She also wanted to look somewhat sexy just to put the extra icing on the cake. Yes, she was a strong independent career woman, but she also was smart enough to know that some sex appeal worked with business executives. Her wrap skirt was very businesslike but when she sat down, the fold of the dress dropped away revealing a nice glimpse of leg. It showed off just enough leg to be alluring, yet tasteful. Her heels were expensive black alligator and looked good with this dress and her tanned legs. The top was snug enough to make it evident that she was very gifted in the breast department. Her short jacket was well tailored and fit her well. It accentuated her obvious assets. She finished the look with some pink lipstick and tasteful pearl earrings and a pearl necklace to match. She liked the way she looked and the thong nestled under her wrap dress also made her feel both sexy and a bit daring. Her full breasts were nestled inside her new corset style bra that she loved wearing and it gave her a nice sense of confidence coupled with a strong feeling of being a woman. She knew she looked good and she also felt confident in her ability to present herself in the best possible light to this senior executive. She was ready for Armstrong and the interview.

Kate walked up to the reception desk and knew immediately that this older conservatively dressed woman was the ‘keeper of the outer gate.’ Many very high powered executives have assistants just like this one. She is efficient, no nonsense and gives off an aura of being in total charge. She had short gray/black hair and wore a very expensive dress with a complimenting Channel scarf. She was, without question, the Queen Bee and the plaque on her desk simply read, “Mrs. Gray.” 

"Good morning, Mrs. Gray," Kate said to her, "I have an 11 o’clock meeting with Mr. Armstrong." Kate reached forward, presenting her with an envelope containing her resume and other letters of accomplishment and recommendation.

"Yes, well you will need to take a seat and Mr. Armstrong will get to you when he can," she said without looking up at all or reaching out to grasp the extended envelope from Kate.

"Keep it for Mr. Armstrong," she said.

"Thank you," Kate replied with a smile at the woman who had not yet even raised her eyes to glance at her, "I am sure he is a very busy man."

"Yes," Mrs. Gray said with a bored and condescending tone.

Kate sat in the most upright chair she could find so as not to sink into the overstuffed chairs and wind up awkwardly trying to get up to greet Mr. Armstrong or wrinkling her dress. She was focused and ready and the mother hen at the desk in front of the bosses office wasn’t about to deter her resolve to get this job.

Twenty minutes went by and the phone on the secretary’s desk buzzed and Mrs. Gray simply said, “Yes, Sir,” and then hung up.

Looking up at Kate for the first time, she said, “You may go in now,” and then returned her gaze back down to the work at hand.

Rising quickly and then taking just a moment to make sure she was put together properly, Kate planted a bright smile on her lips and strode for the door, opened it and walked in to the huge office of the CEO.

Armstrong was just hanging up the phone when he looked up and watched Kate approach the front of his desk. His eyes took her in and examined her from top to bottom. He said nothing but merely sat there with a blank expression on his face and looked her over once again. He was a solidly built man in his late 20’s, maybe even early 30’s. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was fit and agile and strong. He had a handsome face and wore a well tailored blue and white striped shirt with gold cuff links. Around his neck was what looked like a Hermes tie. He looked powerful and formidable. 

"So you are here for the position on my personal marketing team, is that right," he said looking directly into her eyes. His stare held her motionless for a moment until Kate realized she needed to reply.

"Yes, Mr. Armstrong, I am very excited about this opportunity and know that it is a position I am qualified for and can make successful," she told him. She liked her response and was pleased that in spite of her nervousness, she was presenting herself with assurance and confidence.

"You’re wrong. You have no idea what it takes to be successful and what sacrifices are required to get to the level of performance and commitment that I demand from my people," he declared firmly.

"I am a very hard worker with lots of energy and fresh ideas and great follow through," Kate countered.

"You know, young lady, I have heard this all before from so many eager and deluded women who thought they had a clue about what it takes to climb to the top or what sacrifice is all about. Thanks for coming, but this interview is over," he said while still looking at her eyes with his steely stare.

"Mr. Armstrong, I am everything you need in this position and if you hire me there is nothing I won’t do to make you know that your confidence in me has not been misplaced," Kate said as she felt desperate to get this job and to work for this man. She had only been with him for mere moments and he was sending her away.

"Is that a woman speaking out of a desperate need for a job or a woman who is willing to commit herself to my service and to Armstrong International," he asked her with a firmness that sent a shiver through her body.

"I will commit myself to doing this job better and with more energy and enthusiasm and creativity that you could ever expect," Kate said with just a slight pleading creeping into her voice.

"But you really don’t have any idea what incredible demands both professionally and personally I expect from you, do you? I pay well over the market rate for this executive level position but my expectations are very high and I do not tolerate disobedience or laziness or complaining," with a louder voice as he made his point. His forcefulness disarmed her and she wanted to prove she could please him.

"Anything, Mr. Armstrong, I am willing to do anything that you require. I am committed and will be totally obedient and hard working," Kate emphasized as she saw a glimmer of hope still there for her to land this position.

"Really, you will do anything to get this job? Did I hear you just say that? Do you know what ‘anything’ can entail," he asked her as she felt herself tremble at the implications of what he was saying.

"Of course, Sir," she said, "it means long hours and weekends if needed and being available for any assignment at any time."

"You are so naive, aren’t you," he told her with a smirk on his face.

"I am not naïve, Sir, I am eager and resourceful," she said with as much defiance at this challenge as she could muster.

Reaching over to his phone he pressed a button.

"Mrs. Gray, please come in here," he said. He pulled his hand away and the woman from outside his door was walking in to see him. Kate was astonished by how fast her response was. She closed the door and walked over to within a few feet of him. Kate saw, now that she was standing, that she was a striking woman with a very slender yet attractive figure.

"I have told this applicant that when I have someone work for me on my personal team, that their commitment must be a total commitment. Is that your understanding of what I demand after the many years that you have worked for me?" He asked her.

"Without question, Sir. When you give any order or make any request, it is carried out immediately and without any reservation," she said as she turned her head toward Kate.

"Thank you, Mrs. Gray. Now to emphasize my point, please show me what color bra you wore today," he told her. Kate’s eyes shot wide opened and she felt the air escape from her lungs. Her mind raced as she wondered if this was a joke or a test on Mr. Armstrong’s part.

"Yes, Sir," she replied and took off the expensive scarf that Kate had admired earlier and began unbuttoning the four buttons of the top of her silk dress. With them undone, she pulled the material apart and revealed a very nice set of breasts accented by a beautiful and expensive bra in lavender with see through lace. Kate could easily see her nipples through the material and was both shocked and horrified by this display. At the same time she could not look away.

"You, see," he said looking at Kate," when I said you are required to follow all of my instructions and pay any price to work for me, I meant what I said." As he was talking, he reached out and took the exposed, bra covered full breasts in his hands and stroked them.

"But, Mr. Armstrong, you couldn’t mean that I would be required to do this type of thing for you," she asked as her eyes never left his hands on the mature woman’s breasts.

"I will now ask you some questions, Kate, and your answers will determine if you will work for me or leave this office to continue your job search," he said with his stare still directly into her eyes. She was frozen by his look and also felt his power. She was somehow aroused by what was happening and also afraid of both her arousal and his questions.

His hands left Mrs. Gary’s chest but Kate noticed that she did not button up again but just stood there with her top opened as if awaiting his next order. He turned slightly to the woman.

"Take the dress off, now," he said. She unbuckled the designer belt around her waist and let the dress fall to the floor around her ankles. She leaned over and picked it up and placed it over the chair beside where she was standing. She only wore her bra, a thong and her heels. He looked at her very attractive body and then back at Kate.

"My first question to you is; do you still want a job working for me? I am not interested in long answers. Tell me with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Answer the question," he told her. Kate was reeling from the overload of what she had witnessed and from his direct and pointed manner with her. She also knew how much her body was tingling with arousal.

"Yes, Sir, I still want this job," she said with a shaky voice.
