Good Vs Evil

The rest of the day seemed like a bit of a blur. Madison was shadowing Alan as I got on with everything else I needed to do in my office. The sound of her heels thudding across the lobby only reminded me that, although being insistent in making her where the heels that were provided, she had somehow managed to wear what she wanted in the end and she looked amazing in it. I could see as the day went on, that instead of Madison shadowing Alan, Alan was doing most of, if not all of the work. Alan repeatedly showed Madison time and time again how to check somebody into the hotel, but whenever there was a guest waiting, Alan would look at her to say 'Are you going to check them in' and she would just smile. After that, Alan would do it for her.

"The next one you can do if you like'".As Alan was asking, Madison dropped her name badge and went to pick it up, Alan could not stop staring at her incredible ass as she slowly picked it up, I could see her looking at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Sorry what was that" she said acting like she hadn't heard Alan's request.

"Ummm, nothing, don't worry, can I get you anything, a glass of water? Can of coke? You are probably due a break now?" Alan said, jumping to command like a puppy.

"Oh yeah a can of coke would be great, do we need to pay for that?" Madison said whilst sitting down lazily in the chair.

"Oh, well we do, but don't worry, it'll be my treat"

"Are you sure?" She said with a bright smile on her face.

"Yeah, you have worked so hard today, it's the least I can do" Alan replied.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, she hadn't worked hard at all. All she had done on her first day was follow him around, staring at her nails and smiling at the rest of the mesmerised team members. Oh and stick her foot in my face. Now she was just sitting there with a drink Alan had paid for.

Just as she started putting her two feet on a cabinet and that's when I had enough. I got up from my chair and went to confront her.

"Please don't put your feet up here, this is a place of work"

Madison was just finishing the gulp of her drink.

"Oh hi, boss! Alan said I should take 5 as I have been working really hard today"

"Haven't you already had a break" I asked

"I said she could have another, it's my fault Charlotte, don't blame Madison" Alan insisted

"Alan you have somebody at the desk to check in" Madison ordered.

Alan, without hesitation, followed orders and went to the desk. I was again completely shocked that someone of Alan's stature, having been working for the company for longer than me would just take an order from a 19-year-old without question.

"You can't boss people around like that Madison, it's your first day"

"Oh yeah, sorry, it just comes naturally to me, plus he did say I could take a rest"

"I know, but you should be out there learning from him and not back here with your feet up drinking" I insisted.

"Are you okay now Boss after earlier?"

Madison quickly changed the conversation.

"You seemed a little disoriented thereafter that little incident?"

"I'm fine" I quickly cut her off.

"Were my feet really that bad?" She said as she started taking one foot out of her Louboutin boots slowly.

I didn't reply straight away as I watched in surprise as she dangled her nylon-clad foot around the office as if it were normal behaviour.

"What are you doing?" I said

"Well you have me self-conscious now, everyone I've ever met has said I have perfect feet, some even like them too much, are they not nice?" Madison said as she looked up at me staring at her feet.

"Yes, they are umm nice..." I said completely puzzled by the situation.

"Thanks, boss, it's nice to know my boss says I have nice feet, it couldn't have been that bad having them in your face earlier then"

she giggled before taking another sip of her coke and putting her boot back on.

Before I could reply James was shouting my name across the foyer.

"Charlotte you have a queue at the desk!"

As instincts took their toll, I jumped on the desk and started checking people in, but after my 2nd person I turned around and looked at Madison still with her feet up on the cabinet, on her phone, drinking her coke. How did she get away with it? How did she continue to live life on easy mode, whilst we are out here doing the work? Just as these thoughts are running through my mind she looks up and gives me the brattiest smile I have ever seen, but I can't help but think to myself, how are you so pretty?

As everyone was packing up to head home Madison came into my office looking bubbly and as fresh as ever. It didn't look like she had worked an 8-hour shift, in truth, she barely did.

"Hi boss! Just wanted to come in and say I have had the best day and I am so excited to be working here"

"That's good! Although it will only get harder when you stop shadowing people and have to take care of the shift on your down" I replied making sure Madison understood that she couldn't just rely on others to do the work for her.

"Really! But I like working with other people, everyone here is so friendly and generous! Alan's even offered to drive me home"

"You don't drive?" I asked

"Oh no I hate driving, I have a car but don't drive it"

"What about when you need to get to places"I asked, somewhat puzzled

"Oh I get people to drive me" she said, without even flinching.

"What people will come to your house and pick you up? Do you pay them?"

"No, they never ask, they are loyal to me" Madison responded without batting an eyelid. Again I found the terminology a bit strange.

"Loyal to me" like Madison was some kind of celebrity, but I didn't question it. 8 hours was enough time spent with her today and I didn't want to make it any longer if I didn't have to.

"Okay, well thanks for today and I will see you tomorrow" I said trying to draw the conversation to a close.

"You're welcome"

Madison replied as she picked up her Gucci bag and turned around to leave. I couldn't stop looking at how that dress fit her so well, everything from head to toe just clung to her like it was made for her. It was as if she should be on a catwalk with that dress and for me and all the other women in the hotel it was something you couldn't wait to get back to her. I just couldn't stop staring at her ass, how could it be so round, she must do Pilates or glute workouts, I don't know what was coming over me but I just wanted to go and touch it, squeeze it, I bet it was firm... I don't know why I was thinking like this.

"Boss? Are you okay?" Her voice jolted me back to reality.

"Ummmm yeah yes, everything is fine".

"Are you sure, because you were staring at my bum for a while, is there something on there?" Madison stuck out her ass even more than I thought could be possible.

"No nothing" I replied quite meekly.

"Right okay... first my boots and now my bum, anyone would think you had a crush on me boss" Madison laughed

"Don't be silly, it's been a long day, I just zoned out, sorry" I replied trying to regain some composure.

"That's okay, I get stared at a lot, by both guys and girls I'm used to it". Madison said with a slight chuckle.

"I wasn't staring at you Madison just to be clear" I said with a bit more authority this time.

"Sure you weren't" Madison said in jest as she walked out of my office.

That was the 3rd time today she left me feeling completely exposed. On the first day of meeting Madison she had put her foot in my face, watched me with her feet up whilst I did her work for her, and now I was apologising for staring at her ass. It left me feeling very weak. I have never been so degraded by one person in my life, especially a bratty girl younger than me. I had worked hard for the past 5 years of my working life here to brand a reputation of hard work and integrity, one day she has made me question all of this, I needed to get home, I needed to come up with a game plan with how to deal with this entitled teenager.

As I was driving home, I continued to think about Madison. I was wondering whether talking to Katie would help me understand Madison more. Madison said Katie was 'loyal to her' so obviously there was a relationship there. If Katie were to tell me what Madison was like, what pushed her buttons etc then maybe I could gain a bit more control in the dynamic. As I got home and opened the door, my mum was there to ask me how my day was, just like every other day when I came home. I abruptly replied 'Fine' and went straight up to my room to lie down.

This was clearly relayed to Katie as only 3 minutes passed before she knocked and let herself in. Katie was the spitting image of myself, a truly kind caring soul, Katie would do anything for anyone. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't as stubborn as me, but she was a lot more chilled out than me. She had dark hair, wore glasses and was extraordinarily intelligent. Katie was in the top set of every class in school and got great qualifications, she was currently studying psychology at a university nearby and on track to get 1st class honours, she was always going to be destined for great things.

"What's up sis" Katie cheerfully asked.

"Well we had a new starter at work today, someone you knew from school... Madison Greenwood?" I said trying to jog Katie's memory. As soon as I said the name, Katie's face turned bright red.

"Omg, I thought she was travelling" Katie quickly responded.

"No.. she has just started at my work, as a front office attendant, working under me... is everything okay Katie" I said as I could see she was slightly panicking.

"Did she say anything about me?" Katie quickly responded.

"Only that you were a good girl and loyal to her, which I found was a bit strange, is there something you are not telling me, Katie?" I asked as this conversation was starting to get a bit weird.

"Ummm no, nothing, just haven't seen her in a while, how is she doing?" Katie started to calm down a bit.

"Yes, she's okay, hasn't changed since school, still entitled, arrogant and you know.." before I could finish the sentence, Katie finished it for me.

"Pretty?"

"I was going to say good looking, but why are you acting so strange Katie, you haven't seen her in years, and why did she call you a 'good girl' and 'loyal?" I questioned

"I don't want to talk about it" Katie replied, as she started to turn away from me.

Me and Katie had a great relationship and we would talk to each other about anything, but this time she was very quiet.

"Did she used to bully you? Did she used to take advantage of you?" I said in a protective sister way.

"No, not at all"

"Then what?!" I asked with my voice getting louder.

"Nothing! Just please be careful of her. She has a way of getting in your head, she has a way of using everything she has to her advantage. You're strong Charlotte, but please try not to get manipulated by her."

I didn't think today could get any more strange than it had, but I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"I am not going to get manipulated by a bratty, entitled girl 3 years younger than me!" I snapped,

I wasn't going to tell Katie my day as it only made the situation more difficult.

"Good' Katie said, 'as I said, just be careful of her, people find it hard to resist her and please don't let her take control of your hotel like she took control of our school."

"Katie it was her first day, I am her supervisor, her 'controlling' the hotel or myself with the last thing I will let happen. Children can be easily manipulated but proud, hard-working adults aren't, she will learn that the hard way" I insisted.

"I know! You stand for what is right in the world Charlotte, and you are the toughest person I know so please teach her a lesson!" Katie said as she went to hug me.

I found it a little strange, but only spurred me on to fight for what I believed in, fairness and equality. I wasn't going to let Madison get away strutting her way through life and certainly not going to let her 'control' anyone. As I got up to leave I noticed Katie just staring at the wall.

"You know if there is anything you need to tell me I'm always here sis" I loving told her.

"I know, it's fine, I'm okay" she answered, but I knew there was something playing on her mind.

I got a great night's sleep and was ready to tackle the day ahead. I tried to put yesterday's events behind me and focus on me rather than Madison. As long as every decision I made today was made with my values in mind that is all that I can do. This stoic way of thinking really did help me as I was feeling really enlightened on my drive to work. I was the good in this world and I had to carry the flag high for people like myself who never had things easy in life and had to work hard for everything they got, I felt proud of myself for everything I had achieved.

As I was pulling into work the usual cars were there, including Penny's and Alan's as they were on the early that day. But there was another car in the staff parking bays which didn't look very familiar. As I was pulling into my bay I vaguely saw 2 women sitting in the front of the car and just as I finished parking, one woman got out of the car. I didn't recognise her but she was a slightly overweight ginger girl in her early 20s. After she got out of the car she went around to the passenger side door to opened it, almost like a chauffeur. I was looking on in anticipation as I was quite intrigued about who would be coming out of the car when all of a sudden the girl dropped to her knees next to the door. A few seconds went by before the other woman came out of the car and I recognised who it was straight away. The blonde hair, the sculpted figure, the boots. As Madison got out of the car she shut the door and waited for a few seconds just looking at this girl on her knees in what looked like an act of submission towards Madison. At this point, I couldn't take my eyes off of this scene as it wasn't every day you saw a girl dropping to her knees almost like a slave to another girl. All of a sudden Madison turned around and poked out her flawless ass. I could see the girl's face in a complete trance, almost like nothing else mattered in the world at that moment. This was a public place, anyone could see this happen, but the girl seemed like nothing could take her away from looking at it. Madison was complete oblivious, she was filing her nails as if this was completely normal and just getting on with her perfect life. She then clicked her fingers and the girl, almost like an obedient dog next to her food, kissed Madison's ass, twice, one on each cheek. Madison then turned around and rubbed her head like a pet. The girl just looked up at Madison as if she was her owner with a bright smile and seemed thankful that Madison allowed her to kiss her ass in public. I quickly had to hide as Madison started walking towards the entrance and the girl got up and went back around to the driver's seat in her car. As the girl started driving off, I just sat there, contemplating what just happened. My drive to work was full of positivity and enlightenment. This day wasn't going to be about Madison, it was going to be about me. But after just 5 minutes into the day... I've not even got into work yet, and now I am asking myself so many questions, who was that? Why was she being so submissive towards Madison? How did Madison have this much influence on people? I had to clear my mind again before I got in to work.

As I walked into the front entrance I was greeted with a bright smile from both Alan and Penny. We had great banter between us as we had been working together for so long, so it didn't take long before we all got into a fit of laughter about Penny's night at the bingo. After a few minutes, I did notice that Madison wasn't on shift yet, it was only 5 past 7 but I expected everyone to be prompt for shift, as lack of punctuality was a massive bug bare of mine.

"Where's Madison" I asked both Alan and Penny

"Oh, she's just finishing her make-up, I said I'd cover her for 5/10 minutes" Alan quickly answered.

"It's not your job to cover her Alan" I bit back quite quickly

"I know, I'm sorry, don't blame her, I said it would be okay, please Charlotte don't say anything to her."

I thought it was quite odd that Alan was trying to cover for her, almost taking the blame for her obviously not respecting the rules. Was Madison already starting to become an influence on Alan? Alan, a guy that's been working at the hotel as long as me and the same age as me is now letting this 19-year-old brat walk all over him. I had to have a conversation with him one-on-one and warn him as it was starting to impact his reputation at work.

"Hi everyone!" Madison shouted causing us all to turn around and look at her.

Today she had her hair up and glasses on, almost like a strict teacher, but again pulled it off like anything I had ever seen. Her hair up highlighted how perfect her cheekbones were and she had a different shade of lipliner on, which defined how perfect and juicy her lips were. On top of all of that, her smile just made you want to smile back, pristine white teeth all perfectly in place, she was just someone you could not find any fault in whatsoever.

"I have to say, I am starting to come around to this dress" Madison said as she gave us another twirl.

All 3 of us just stood there as she slowly pressed her ass out as she did the full 360, she also emphasised the new boots she had on today. A new pair of Louboutin's that were more ankle height today. I did notice how she was still not abiding by the dress code, but after what happened yesterday I wasn't ready to bring it up yet. Plus they looked great and her feet looked so perfect in them, it would almost be a crime to ask her to take them off. I also couldn't stop thinking about what happened this morning and she emphasised how good her ass looked in her dress, just some 20 minutes ago, I saw someone kiss that ass...

"Alan, did you get me my croissant?" Madison asked

"Yes, it's in the back for you" Alan delightfully replied.

"Great, I'm starving!" Madison said as she walked passed me and Penny to go and sit in the back to eat it.

"Alan, her shift started 15 minutes ago, she is late and now she's eating with her feet up in the back" I exclaimed, hoping for her to hear me but she was scrolling through her phone.

"It's fine, it's not that busy and I can get her bits done quickly."Alan insisted.

I looked at Penny in disbelief, now he was even offering to do her work for her... I had enough, I needed to know what was going on here.

"Madison, I need you out on the desk, now! Alan, you are coming with me."

Before Alan or Madison could get a word in I stormed to my office and sat in my chair. A few seconds later Alan followed looking very timid as if he knew the questions are about to come.

"What is going on?" I started abruptly. I wanted to go straight to the point and make sure this situation was not going to escalate further than it needed to.

"What do you mean?" Alan said as if he had no idea what just happened.

"Madison! She has been employed here for 1 day and she has got you wrapped around her little finger already!"

"No she hasn't!" Alan said as he was nervously laughing.

"Alan in the last 24 hours you have bought her a coke and croissant, you have covered for her being late, you gave her a lift home and now you are doing her work for her, what does that show?"

I know I sounded harsh but I needed Alan to understand the situation. Alan sat there for a good few seconds as he took in what I was saying.

"I know it looks bad, but Madison and I have just had this instant connection, I feel like I need to spoil her, I feel like she deserves to be treated like this" Alan said as if he believed every word he was saying.

"Can you not see she is manipulating you, Alan. The connection you are talking about is you bending over backwards to please her, and it is now coming in the way of your work"
