Chastity was nervous going into her new job. She had picked out a white long-sleeve button-up, a sharp black blazer, a pencil skirt, a simple black purse, and simple heels for a professional first-day look. She was already regretting the heels as she walked into the clean white lobby of the huge marketing firm. She was lucky to have this job. Straight out of college and already the assistant to the CEO of the biggest marketing firm in her state. When Chastity heard the CEO, Estelle, speak at her university last year, she knew she needed to work for this company. Estelle was intelligent, driven, and had built this company from the ground up. Plus, the woman was absolutely gorgeous. Chastity had to remind herself to focus on the content of the speech more than once during that conference.
The eager assistant walked up to the large glass elevators and clicked the button to go up. While waiting for the elevators to make their way to the lobby, someone approached her.
"Hi I'm Avery, they/them," They said, "you must be the boss's new assistant".
"That would be me!" She responded cheerily. "Chastity, She/her. Nice to meet you, Avery. What do you do?"
"I am head of the art department" they explained as the elevator dinged to signal its arrival.
"Going up?" Chastity asked.
"Down" responded Avery. "You take this one. Can't be late on your first day. See you around".
Chastity smiled sheepishly at Avery and walked onto the elevator, trying not to slip on her 2 inches too tall shoes. She hit the button to take her to the top floor where she would meet her new boss, Estelle Desai. She had met Estelle during her interview, but it had been a video call. She felt nervous to be meeting her in person for the first time. By the time she reached the top floor, her stomach was churning. She walked off and headed towards the large glass doors that must lead into Estelle's office. When she walked in she smelled warm tobacco and rose. Estelle lifted her gaze from her computer screen and met Chastity's eyes.
"Hi! I'm Chastity! It's so nice to finally meet you in person!" Chastity bounded, unable to contain her excitement.
In response, Estelle slowly rose from her important-looking chair and walked around to lean on her sturdy, oak desk. She motioned for Chastity to come toward her. Chastity did as she was directed and hurried to the CEO. When Estelle decided she was close enough she gestured for Chastity to sit in the tall, black leather chair that sat in front of the impressive desk. Chastity sat.
Estelle's gaze lingered on Chastity for a few moments. She looked her up and down. Chastity looked down at her own body, in case she was looking unkempt in any way. She decided nothing was out of the ordinary. Then, her boss walked back around her desk but did not sit back down.
Chastity held her breath waiting for her boss to speak.
"Hello, Chastity," Estelle said with a low and smooth voice. "I am Estelle Desai, as you know. We already discussed your day-to-day duties. Your desk is outside the door. You can put your bag and any personal belongings in this closet"
Chastity waited for her to say anything more. When it became clear that was all, she got up from the cold leather chair, hung her purse in the closet, and slowly and quietly peeled off her blazer. She felt her boss's stare and turned to nod goodbye to the looming woman and walk out of the clear glass doors. She found her desk right where Estelle said it would be and sat behind it. This desk was more of a minimalist design than her boss's grand piece of furniture. It had a thin glass top and skinny metal legs. She wished she had picked a longer skirt because if she didn't keep her legs pressed together someone could easily see her panties under the tiny table. On top of the simple desk were a stapler, a computer, and a large pile of papers with a sticky note reading "CATALOG" in black sharpie. Chastity pulled off the sticky note and inspected the top paper.
After 4 hours of data entry, Chastity's fingers hurt. She contemplated asking her boss when her lunch break was but decided against it when she remembered their previous conversation. She looked around at the other, less grandiose, doors around her and saw one labeled "Mark Hale - director of operations". She remembered the name from the research she did on the company, and decided to see if he was a more friendly option. She pushed her chair back and stood up. When she went to push her chair in, her top button got stuck on a sharp piece of the chair that was sticking out. It pulled the button off her blouse entirely, exposing her cleavage. Her face turned red and she bent down to look for the missing button. It was no where to be seen. She didn't want to talk to anyone at her professional new office with her cleavage exposed like this, but with a growling stomach, she still decided to ask her co-worker.
"Hi!" She said.
Mark looked up at her, then down at her newly exposed breasts.
Chastity pressed on, "I'm Chastity, Estelle's new assistant. I was wondering if you could tell me when lunch is?" She asked.
"You will have to ask Estelle. She's in charge of you." He explained, looking back down at his screen.
"Oh ok. Thanks." Chastity said, disappointed.
She walked out of the doorway back to her little desk. She organized her papers to see what was finished and what still needed to be done. The finished pile was bigger so she decided it was ok to try talking to the CEO again. She stood up, pulled her skirt down, and tried to push the two sides of her shirt together. She didn't have particularly large breasts, but without the button, her cleavage looked rather impressive. She was nervous about looking unprofessional in front of her boss. She started toward the glass door and pushed it open. This time Estelle did not meet Chastity's eyes but lingered on her breasts. Chastity's face grew red and hot.
"Um... hi again. Sorry to bother you. I was just wondering when my lunch break is." She stumbled.
Estelle let her gaze wander all over Chastity's body. "Did you bring lunch?" Estelle asked, without meeting her eyes.
"I didn't. I was planning on picking something up quickly." Chastity explained.
"Great!" Said Estelle looking back at her computer screen "Bring me back a chopped salad from Vera's and lobster cauliflower bisque from Saint Augustine's by 12:00pm"
Chasity looked at the watch her mother gave her as a graduation gift. It said it was 11:23 am.
"I'm not..." Chastity started.
Estelle finally met Chastity's eyes and the assistant stopped speaking. The intensity of the eye contact made her instantly stop and turn to push the door open.
"Oh and Chastity dear" Estelle called. "I noticed your, ahem, wardrobe malfunctions. I'll have something more durable picked out for you when you get back"
Chastity's face turned scarlet again. She didn't know what to say so she nodded and rushed out of the office to the clear elevators, clutching her collar closed. Her mind was racing so much that she almost didn't notice Avery step off in front of her.
"Hey again," they said to Chastity. They were holding a large white garment bag. "How's the first day going? You look a little frazzled"
"Oh um yeah," Chastity mumbled noticing the bag and feeling mortified. "Just getting used to everything. Nothing I can't handle." She said.
"Ok," Avery said looking concerned. "Let me know if you need anything," they said as the elevator doors closed.
Chastity was so embarrassed. She couldn't believe she had already made her boss unhappy. She felt shame at letting her boss see so much of her body after knowing her for only a few hours. Fearful that she would disappoint Estelle again, she looked at her watch: 11:32 am. She'll have to run.
