Lori is running late for her job assisting Professor E. She bursts into his office out of breath and a little sweaty. She blurts out, "I am so sorry! My last class ran a little long and I had to run back to my room and--"
Professor E interrupts her, "I don't want to hear it. This is the third time you've been late this month already. I am not sure you are really serious about this position. Perhaps it's time to think about giving it to someone else."
"I am very serious about this position! And without it I can't get the hours I need to finish my degree," Lori says.
"Well then we need to figure out what's going to get you to show the commitment you need to keep it," said Professor E.
Lori says, "I will literally do anything you ask me to do to show you how committed I am to this position and to you."
He then says, "We will need to put that theory to the test. Why don't you start by coming over here?"
Lori takes a deep breath, smooth out her skirt, and walks over to where Professor E is standing by his desk. He reaches his hand up and pushes her hair out of her eyes and behind her ears. He holds her chin in his hand, looks directly in her eyes and says, "Do you really mean anything"
Lori is not exactly sure where this is going but the direct, almost intimate eye contact and his hand firmly on her chin has given her a little flutter in her stomach. She takes a gamble that she is reading him right, and says "yes... anything."
He says, "OK then. I want you to bend over and put your elbows on my desk. And I don't want you to take your elbows off the desk unless you are told to do so."
