Mel reached down and picked Bella up drawing her into his lap and tightening his arms about her, "You are mine, I adore you and everything about you. To me, you are perfect. I will never let you go or replace you, not here nor at home. Speaking of home," he looked at her with dark burning eyes, "Perhaps we should return home and have a day off work reminding you whom you serve." His hands tightened on her ass, and she squeaked blushing deeply. "Better yet, why wait," he picked her up and began to carry her toward the office's ensuite.
Rob grunted, "Keep it in your pants I haven't finished with two yet. Go get your phone for me Bella, please."
"Oh," she cried in dismay, "It's in my bag and that is still under Dianne's desk!"
"I'll go down and get it, I am guessing that girl is trying to wheedle her way out of trouble anyway and won't mind the interruption," Rob laughed.
Bella giggled and watched him leave. She reached up and stroked her Master's face brushing her lips over his, "I understand your rules and your need to see my submission, but this is nice sometimes too, right?"
Mel cuddled her close and kissed her, "Yes MY Ellie."
He realised in that moment what Dorothea and Rob had been trying to tell him. He expected total obedience and submission from her, but he also needed to adjust his ways to better suit this new relationship that was about so much more than just the power and control he held over the girls at the club when on occasion he used them. Bella was his responsibility now. He realised now how much of challenge that would be to him rather than to her. It was not just about the control over her he craved, it was also about finding her limits and boundaries within their relationship rather than pushing her constantly to live up to his high expectations. He needed to keep her strong and challenged and most of all happy to serve him as he wished.
"But," he said, "it's a work day, and there is much to do," he smiled down at her, "We will talk about this more tonight." The best thing, he reasoned, was to make the day as normal as possible, no more surprises. He led her over to her desk and carefully explained the expectations of her new role in the company as separate from her role in his personal life. "Now," he said smiling, "This is your date book, Dorothea updated it yesterday in your absence adding appointments I have made for you." He flicked through to the appropriate date.
Rob sauntered back in swinging her handbag, "This does nothing at all for my outfit, darling'", he drawled as he leaned over her desk depositing the bag and her phone in front of Bella. "My phone number is in there now, anytime your Master needs a dose of reality you just call me, and I will come riding in on my mighty steed," he winked at her.
Giggling Bella looked up at Mel who was rolling his eyes dramatically, but he had a half smile. The phone rang, and Mel looked up at the doorway to Dorothea's desk, knowing she only put urgent calls through when he was busy. "Stay a few minutes Rob I just have to get this," Mel crossed to his desk to retrieve the call.
Bella and Rob both saw the look of anguish on Mel's face before he turned his back on them. Hanging up the phone he turned back to them, "Can you run down to the club for me Rob, seems there is a situation there too this morning. I don't want to go out for a while, and I don't want my treasure to get any more strange ideas about going home before we have had a chance to talk properly."
Rob shrugged, "I guess, but Dorothea is just outside, and she is a formidable old bird, I don't think Bella could get past her."
Mel laughed, "I am sure your right but Bella needs to go to the bank and pick up her new corporate card now she is a business manager with the company and I want to take her myself now. We'll meet you there for lunch Stephen wants to see me about Friday anyway."
There was a pause as Rob considered Mel's comment, then his face lit up with a smile, "You old fart, I forgot it was your birthday this week," Rob laughed shaking his head, "I am going to be stuck in town all week at this rate."
"You Know Stephen, any excuse to fill the club," Rob pulled on his coat while Mel spoke, "I will see you there about noon."
Rob kissed Bella on the forehead, "Be a good girl, I will see you in a few hours," he grinned at her.
"Thank you Master Rob," Bella looked up at him her eyes filled with sincerity, "For everything."
Rob stroked her cheek, "She truly is precious, Mel. Anymore days like today and I might just steal her away." He laughed and left the room leaving Mel growling after him.
Bella sat at her desk and looked through the date book. She noted that the hours between one and three pm had been blanked out. Frowning she continued to make notes and looking at the three files on her desk noted down the names and quickly flicked through the contents of the flies.
Bella peeked up at Mel who was sitting at his desk making calls before she went out to Dorothea. "I um..."Bella began. She felt awkward standing over the woman as she sat at her desk and went and took one of the waiting chairs dragging it over the desk sitting bedside Dorothea. "That's better," she smiled and placed her day book in front of Dorothea. "When I sat in your chair I set up a folder on the company server. May I?" Bella asked her hand hovering over the mouse.
Dorothea scooted her chair back slightly, "Of course Bella."
Bella showed Dorothea how to find the folder and set up a digital daybook within the company's online Sharepoint program. She created not only a calendar but a section for urgent messages and separate sections for each company Bella now managed. She explained that she would be able to access this from anywhere and subtly asked about the greyed out hours of her diary.
Mel said that was training time, Bella," Dorothea said. "I think he has learned his lesson about explaining things perhaps you should ask him when he has a moment." Bella looked at the woman and saw the barely disguised grin and laughed.
"I am truly sorry I was so horrible this morning, honestly I am so happy you are here," Bella squeezed the hand of the older woman and smiled widely.
The woman squeezed her hand back, "Don't be silly I understand how much you have been through this week, I was young and new to the life style once." More quietly she said, "Mel needs some training too when it comes to looking after his own girl, but I will help where I can."
Bella laughed, "I don't think anyone can tell him what to do."
Dorothea smiled, "No but a subtle nudge in the right direction now and then won't hurt."
Impulsively Bella hugged Dorothy and thanked her for her kindness rising and putting the chair back to its original position. Bella walked back to her desk picking up her phone and made sure she could access the page she had just recreated. Gathering up her things as she checked the time she turned to smile at Mel who nodded in her direction and finished his call.
