I spent the next four days in a state of fear, thinking of all the things that Diane could do to me. Mr. Wilson didn't come around again, thank God, but I was still being told to come to work in just heels and stockings. Diane had me bring an outfit for each day and every morning when I arrived I was told to hang it up in my closet. Then I had to go into Diane's office and take off my coat and give it to her. Only then could I go back to my closet and take my outfit out and dress.
I was certain that someone was going to walk by and see me but to my knowledge it didn't happen. I felt half naked each day, mostly because I wasn't allowed to wear underwear or a blouse. Every outfit I was allowed to wear was a jacket and skirt combination so everyone who saw me knew I wasn't wearing a blouse. Thank God that they had no idea that the jacket and skirt was all I had on.
Late Friday afternoon Diane called me into her office.
"Sabine, I had to meet with Kate this week. I spoke with her about you. Now before you get upset, she has no idea about the cd that I have. But she is suspicious. I had to tell her something so she would keep silent, but I have made arrangements for you to go to her apartment for a party. Kate thinks that you are trying to loosen up a bit and she is going to help you with that. There will be some of her friends there, and of course she will be also. She is going to propose something for the party and you will go along with it. Do you have any questions?"
"Ah, well yes."
"Go ahead."
"What is she going to propose?"
"I think it will be better if you aren't aware of anything. But, you will be on your best behavior, won't you?"
"Diane, this is not making me feel very good. Kate doesn't like me. She'll try to do something nasty to me. Besides, I am quite a bit older than her and her friends. We wouldn't do things together."
"Don't worry about that, Sabine. Just be cooperative. You'll most likely enjoy it in some way."
I sat in one of Diane's side chairs and thought. What's the worst that could happen to me? I didn't really want to think about it. But I did and a lot of things ran through my mind. None of which I liked to even think about. Did I have a choice? Yes, I did. I could say no, but Diane would most likely turn me in. That would most likely end with me being terminated. Not an option for me at all. I sighed.
"Fine, I'll go to her party and feel stupid."
"Oh, I don't think that you'll feel stupid, Sabine. You'll feel something, but I can promise you that stupid won't be it."
I got up and went to my desk. In a few minutes Kate walked up and before long I was invited to her party.
"Sabine, I want you to come to my apartment for a little get together tonight."
"I know. Diane already let me know."
"Good, good. And she told you to be cooperative, right?"
"Yes."
"Good, that's great. It's going to be fun."
I highly doubted that, but my choices were pretty few in number. I got her address and telephone number and she told me that everything was going to start at 8. I asked about dress and she told me a top and slacks would be fine or a skirt if I wanted to wear one instead of slacks.
Before much longer I was in Diane's office surrendering my clothes and putting on my coat so I could go home. Diane walked out with me and walked with me to my car. She stood beside the door as I got in. I was going to start my car but...
"Sabine, open your coat."
I was going to say no, but thought better of it. I undid the buttons and slowly, looking around to make sure no one was near. I opened it. Diane looked me up and down, smirking.
"I'm glad to see that you are not arguing with me every time I tell you to do something, Sabine. Now just remember to be cooperative tonight."
I had that sinking feeling low in my stomach, but kept my mouth shut. Diane ran her eyes from mine down my chest to my pubic hair and back up again. I flushed. She smirked and then walked off to her car. I hurriedly pulled my coat together and buttoned it up once more. I could feel that my nipples were hard once more.
I drove home wondering what all this cooperative stuff was and I wasn't feeling too good about it, but I was sort of in a corner with no way to get out of it. At home I took off my coat and put some clothes on and made dinner. I ate, even though I wasn't very hungry and then I picked out a reasonably nice outfit. One of my good silk tops and a pair of nice slacks. I put on serviceable underwear and found a pair of low heels that sort of matched the slacks. I got dressed in that and put on some tasteful make up so it appeared that I was trying to look my best. Then I sat down and waited for the time to come for me to drive to Kate's apartment. It took me about twenty minutes and I parked and went up, knocking on her door. She let me in and introduced me to her friends, none of which I knew. They all were about her age, at least 8 years younger than me.
Drinks flowed during the evening and the conversation was much younger than what I was used to with my friends. I didn't have all that much to drink, since I don't normally but they all seemed to drink quite a bit. Younger people, I guess, do more drinking.
Eventually it got around to party games and we played some stupid stuff, although I did enjoy a couple of the games. I wasn't having that bad of a time, actually. Kate asked me at the end of one of the games to join her in her small kitchen.
"Having fun, Sabine?"
"Actually, Kate, more than I thought I would, although your friends are a lot younger than me."
"That's good. We're going to play one more game and Diane wanted me to tell you to be cooperative. You do understand what she means, right?"
I was suspicious.
"I guess. What game?"
Kate smirked at me.
"Well, I am going to tell everyone that you want to play strip poker, Sabine. And being cooperative means that you are going to lose every hand. And you should know that the loser is the only one who takes something off. So, I am sure that you are going to find the game most interesting."
She looked at me and giggled. I looked at her in shock.
"Kate, you can't be serious. I won't do that."
"Sabine, Sabine. Think of how disappointed Diane will be that you weren't cooperative. You don't want to disappoint her, do you?"
I walked out of the kitchen and got my purse. Then I went into her bathroom. I took out my cell phone and called Diane.
"Diane, this is Sabine."
"I thought that you might call me."
"I am not doing this, Diane."
"You are not doing what?"
"You know exactly what I mean, Diane."
"Actually, no I don't. Enlighten me."
"Kate is telling me that she is going to tell her friends that I want to play strip poker and that I am supposed to lose purposely. I will not do that, Diane, I won't do it."
"I guess then you are not planning on being cooperative. That's too bad. I suppose that I will have to speak to Mr. Prescott."
I winced. If she was going to talk to him she was going to tell him about me and then probably show him that damn cd.
"Diane, I don't want you to talk to Mr. Prescott."
