Jackson and Mitch found themselves facing each other in the stairwell. One of them would have to make way. Mitch was going down. Jackson who was on mailgirl duties, naked and fresh, was going up. She looked at her app and smiled. "You go."
Mitch smiled, pleased to see her. "No, you."
Jackson checked her app again. "I've got a moment. How are you?"
Her boss smiled. "I'm keeping busy. What with running the office and all that. How are things with you. Still enjoying the mailgirl life?"
Jackson smiled up at Mitch, noticing him clearly appreciating her firm breasts. "I can't say I'm not enjoying the lifestyle. Although the reason you talked me into becoming a mailgirl, the tribunal, that hasn't happened yet."
Mitch played to that. "Don't worry, it will," he responded casually. "And you say I convinced you? You made that decision totally by yourself."
Jackson tittered, her breasts jingling a little. "Do you really think so?" she challenged warmly.
Mitch shrugged. "I may have given you some urging. But I could see that you were curious."
Jackson feigned shock. "And what suggested that to you?"
"I could see it in your eyes from the start. And the more we got into the planning. I could tell you were wondering what it would be like."
Jackson put her hands on her hips. "And what else could you tell about what I wanted?"
Mitch looked confused. "What?"
Jackson sighed. "I wanted you."
"Jackson, I'm married," Mitch retorted.
Jackson smiled brightly. "Don't you worry, I'll find a way." She stepped up to Mitch pressing her naked body against his, albeit clothed one. She took one of his hands and placed it as close to her crotch as she could. "You want it too," she whispered in his ear. Then she let him go and pushed past him on her way up to her destination.

Later, Mitch stood with Shane outside Belinda Clarke's office on the ninth floor, early for their meeting about hiring the new mailgirls. Contracts had to be completed, details resolved. Shane nudged Mitch to check out over the workers in the open plan on the floor. It took Mitch a moment to realise what Shane wanted him to see. Mrs Ogawa, the visiting enforcer from head office, was working at one of the desks. Slouching at the desk next to her, the naked mailgirl Kimiko Date seemed to be in some sort of disinterested daydream. Kimiko propped her head up on the palm of her hand, balancing on her elbow as if she was keeping barely awake while she lazily kept her attention on Mrs Ogawa who had kept her for translating when she needed. Mrs Ogawa suddenly addressed the mailgirl. Having been addressed, Kimiko responded with animation, even giving her mistress a smile as she spoke, although she got no visible response from the visitor from head office in Japan, where she had status and could punish any of the Japanese mailgirls when she wanted. She neither had status or that freedom in the Melbourne office.
"Do you think Mrs Ogawa gets any pleasure from what she does?" Shane asked Mitch.
"I hope so," Mitch responded. Otherwise, what was the point?
Shane pondered for a moment. "That face never changes. Not like Mr Harada."
"Perhaps we should ask Kimiko whether Mrs Ogawa gets any enjoyment from what she does." Mitch still had visions of watching Mrs Ogawa casually mistreat Kimiko who was there to translate when he and Mrs Ogawa recently video conferenced with Mr Harada who was not only the boss of the company but, as they had recently found out, also Kimiko's grandfather.
Mitch still worried about the ramifications of his boss's granddaughter not only running naked errands in the Australian subsidiary office but also using the laxer mailgirl rules in Australia to masturbate in the office, on the other workers' desks, as well as now consenting to Mrs Ogawa disciplining her in open in the office. And further he worried about the real reason why Mrs Ogawa was on an extended visit from the Japanese head office to Melbourne. He was certain there was something to worry about there.
Shane nudged Mitch back to reality to notice that Kimiko had rocked her chair back from the desk with her spread knees and was presumably wanking herself as Mrs Ogawa spoke to her.
And at that moment, Jackson strolled into the office, naked but with intent. "Pleased to see me again?" she asked Mitch, more or less ignoring Shane. The nude mailgirl gripped Mitch gently by the shoulder and almost accidentally rubbed a nipple on his shirt which took him slightly aback. "Belinda invited me into the meeting to make sure that everything was in order," she informed the two men. Reminding them that it was a big deal that they were bringing two new mailgirls on board who were, if you ignored Jackson's complicated situation, the first outsiders to come into the company which was trying to keep its mailgirl program out of the public eye. Hiring Pam Burridge and Fanny Durack would bring the day of public intrusion into the secret world of their mailgirl operation that much closer. So much could happen. Fanny would publish her research, and Mitch was certain that Pam would intentionally or not tell someone something about their operations. Word would start to get out.
Outsiders knew that like the US and Japan operations of Harada Industries, the Melbourne office had mailgirls because Mr Harada had announced it. It was no big issue to him. There were regular videos released of the mailgirls in those two countries, and Mr Harada seemed to revel in the notoriety. The US office was now running Mailgirl courses for other US companies that wanted to introduce their own programs. While in Australia, the tight group of mailgirls, with the exception of Jackson, had all worked for the company before that fateful day when they had taken their clothes off as Mitch had announced them to the rest of the staff. They had all agreed that life was easier if as few people as possible outside the office knew what was going on.
Belinda opened the door to her office and smiled at the dressed men and the naked woman. "Sorry to have kept you," she apologised, "that phone call took longer than I hoped."
Jackson led the men into the HR boss's office wiggling her bottom at the two of them as she did, even smiling over her shoulder certain that they were watching.

Jackson strode next to Mitch as they left the meeting. Somehow in the corridor they found themselves alone. Mitch expected another physical encounter like in the staircase when she suddenly stopped. Realising his concern, Jackson raised her hands in pretend surrender. "I've been thinking," she started, "haha, the reason you talked me into becoming a mailgirl, the tribunal, hasn't happened yet."
Relieved that was what was on the mailgirl's mind, Mitch relaxed. "Don't worry," he laughed, "be patient. And someone will stuff up."
"I have to keep my mediation skills sharp, Jackson smiled. "You never know when I might need them." she leaned against the wall, and spread one leg out.
Mitch shrugged casually. "Like riding a bike?"
Jackson smiled. "Like riding a bike naked, I'd say. You have to be extra careful." She looked into Mitch's face. They both knew he was looking at her body. "By the way I hear Mr Harada is coming to visit again?" she challenged.
Mitch shrugged, but more urgently. "He does what he wants." But he was concerned that Jackson knew that before he did.

Mr Harada stretched expansively at the head of the board table. Mitch balanced his chin on his palm two seats away from his boss while Mr Harada's two young assistants, one male and one female, who always travelled with him sat themselves near the foot of the table and went straight to their screens, apparently to maintain contact with head office in Japan while they were in Australia. They both were dressed immaculately of course. Mitch realised that he did not know their names. Mr Harada had never introduced them. The male's black suit radiated quality tailoring, an expensive cut. His white shirt shone with freshness, its collar sharply defined. She looked impenetrable in a fitted black jacket and matching skirt that ended above her knees revealing her black lace-up fishnet stockings and a hint of bare thigh above the ties.
When Mr Harada had settled and with his assistants engrossed with the data on their screens, Mitch asked his boss what their names were.
Mr Harada ignored that and smiled at Mitch. "We are actually not unhappy with the progress in the Australian division," he announced. The male assistant suddenly spoke rapidly to Mr Harada who nodded to him and turned back to Mitch. "Can you please call a mailgirl? I have a message that I need to pass to your Personal Assistant." The male assistant hastily scrawled something down and passed it to Mr Harada who read it and nodded while Mitch summoned a mailgirl on his app. Fortunately making a good impression for Mr Harada, Pam Burridge, the new mailgirl appeared only a moment after Mitch called her.
Appearing no-nonsense she strode into the room and straight up to Mitch. The assistants stayed glued to their screens and appeared not to notice her. However Mr Harada brazenly stared at her enjoying her beauty as she walked up to the table. "Yes, Mr Johnson," she asked when she was politely close. Mitch smiled at her lapse into formality, presumably she knew who Mr Harada was. Mitch also noticed that the tall, blonde mailgirl stood waiting with her legs spread just a little making it clear that she was clean shaven.
Mitch nodded to his boss. "Mr Harada has a message to deliver to Betty Cuthbert," Mitch told her.
Mr Harada folded the notepaper in front of him and held it towards the statuesque mailgirl in such a way that she had to brush past Mitch so that she was close enough to Mr Harada that her crotch was close to his face. She affected no concerns in that situation. "Please see that Ms Cuthbert gets this message immediately," Mr Harada told her as they both held the note before he let it go. He looked up from her crotch and eventually deeply up into her large blue eyes.
