I was typing away at my desk when the intercom buzzed, "Miss Vanessa, can you please come into my office?" Before I got up, I pulled out my pocket mirror and smoothed out my skit. I prided myself on my professional appearance, which was obvious from my head to my toes. I was wearing a white satin blouse, with a black skirt, which came to just above the knee, and a pair of black, open toed heels. I got up and knocked on my boss's office before entering, and upon hearing "Come in," I opened the door. My boss was sitting behind his large oak desk, and looked up at me when I entered. "Good morning, Miss Vanessa, I needed to talk to you this morning about your job performance."
"What about my job performance, sir?" I had always been a model secretary, always making sure my work was done on time, never gossiping away on the phone, or taking long lunches.
"Well, Vanessa, when I hired you I thought you were a good secretary, but recently your work seems to be lacking."
"Lacking, sir?" I eyed my boss questioningly, hoping I wasn't about to be fired.
"Yes, Vanessa, lacking. The coffee pot's always dry, the mail bins are always full and waiting to be sorted, and all of this together affects how my office looks. I will not have a second rate office. Do you understand, Vanessa?" As he finished talking my boss stood up, still staring at me.
"Yes, sir, I understand. I'm very sorry that the office has not been to your satisfaction lately, sir, but I have been terribly busy and I am the only office girl, sir." I had always known my boss to be a understanding man, and I was hoping that he would be understanding this time and not fire me.
"That's no excuse, Vanessa. Lots of other men in the company only have one secretary and their offices are in tip-top shape. I think we need to put a stop to this once and for all."
As he said that, a chill went down my spine, afraid my fears were about to come true.
"Vanessa, I'll give you two choices. Either you can quit now, or you can let me give you a spanking over my desk."
I stared at the boss for a moment stunned by the choices. I didn't want to quit, I needed this job, but the idea of being spanked sounded humiliating.
"Well, Vanessa. What will it be?" He tapped his fingers on the desk, as he waited for my answer.
I took a deep breath, and slowly answered him. "I need this job sir. I'll take the spanking." I couldn't believe what I had just said, but it seemed like I had no other choice.
