Occasionally someone would come to her desk and ask a question. Gloria always seemed to know the answer or would be able to direct them to the right room on the right floor for them to find. All without needing to look anything up. In between visitors she would lean sideways and chat to me.
"So," she said, starting our conversation, "you're his latest favourite."
"I don't know what you mean," I replied. I was puzzled by her statement.
"Believe it or not, a while ago, I was in your place."
I was shocked at her admission. "What happened?" I asked.
"Who knows. I was replaced by someone prettier or maybe more compliant."
"Compliant?"
"I was too ready to draw the line which did not best please him. You seem to be more that way inclined. How long have you been serving him?"
"I ... err ...I've been his secretary for about a month, but he has only had me doing things like this for two days. Anyway, I'm only temporary. His usual assistant is away on maternity leave."
At this she grinned knowingly. "What rubbish! I know her and she's been demoted to the PA of some downstairs manager. She was moved on to make room for you. He must think you're something special."
"Oh gosh, I didn't know. Poor woman."
"Keep complying with his requests and you'll be alright, trust me." She hesitated before moving on. "Tell you what let's go out for a drink one evening after work. We can swap notes and I can give you some useful advice."
My heart leapt to have found a friendly face. "I'd love that."
"Tonight?"
"Yes, please." I know I sounded eager, but I was so happy all of a sudden.
"I assume you'll be free of the chain by then." She glanced down and then for the first time noticed my second as it rested on the floor between my spread thighs.
"Oh, fuck, he's got you wearing a second set." She seemed genuinely shocked. She reached out a foot and lifted the front of my dress and opened her mouth in horror, "Jeez, they look painful. Do they hurt a lot?"
"Mostly when I walk. The chain swings about pulling me in all ways."
"I only let him go as far as the nipple clamps, and that was bad enough. I know what you mean by the chain swinging. Look out! He's just coming back."
I was very grateful for the warning as I had just enough time to straighten my dress before he appeared at the side of her desk.
"Has she behaved herself, Gloria?" he asked without bothering to even look at me.
"Impeccably, Sir. Quiet as a mouse."
"I should hope so too. I'll take her away from you now. Thanks for keeping an eye. Oh, and I am expecting a delivery later. From our favourite shop. When it arrives give Alice a call."
"Certainly sir, I'll keep an eye out for it. And thank you for trusting me with her. And may I say, she's very pretty."
"And so are you, Gloria. It wasn't your lack of good looks that caused your downfall it was some of your behaviour. But we move on."
With that he jerked on the leash, and I carefully got to my feet and followed him the few painful feet to the elevator. He was silent all the way up and along the corridor. Once inside the office he simply told me to get on with my work and then left me alone. This time I heard the buzz of the lock that he'd activated with his remote and I knew I wouldn't be disturbed except by him. It also meant that I couldn't leave. I made myself as comfortable as possible and took the weight off the chains as best I could and looked at my computer. But my head was still whirling from our lunchtime activities. Most especially, for me at least, was my time with the naked shop girl. What memories that brought back! I couldn't wait to go through that again, but I wondered if I ever would. I couldn't imagine seeking out that in my previous life but now, with that one time, I was eager to try again.
It was quiet for the rest of the afternoon, and it was nearly finishing time when the phone suddenly rang, which made me jump. I'd been off in a daydream, reliving the feel of the shop girl's tongue on my pussy. I picked up the phone and recited, as usual, "Hello, Mr. James office. How may I help?"
"Hi Alice, its Gloria. Can you tell Sir that I have a couple of packages for him.
"Of course, I can Gloria. Just putting you on hold."
I switched to Sir's office phone, and he picked it up at once.
"Yes, what is it, Alice." He sounded a little annoyed.
"I have Gloria on the line, Sir. She says she has two packages for you. I thought you ought to know."
"Quite right and sorry, for being snappy. Now ... shall I send you down to get them or ... no, I have a better idea. Tell her to bring them up herself and bring them to my office in her, errr 'usual manner'."
I switched back to Gloria not knowing what to make of his strange instruction.
"Hi again Gloria. Sir says can you bring them straight up to his office in 'your usual manner' whatever that might mean. Have you any idea?"
"I can make a wild guess, ha ha. Okay, I'll see you in about five minutes. I just need to get cover for the desk."
And she hung up and I was left as puzzled as ever. I heard the door lock buzz, presumably by Sir in order to allow Gloria access.
A few minutes later there was a light knock on the door and Gloria walked in without a word from me. She smiled a friendly smile and walked over to the chair against the far wall. She was carrying two bags which I instantly recognised as carriers from the shop. Oh dear, what instruments had he bought now? How was he going to torment me further?
"Can I leave my stuff here?" she asked leaving me as puzzled as ever. My eyes widened when she took off her jacket and laid it over the back of the chair. When she had come in, she looked very smart in her office attire. A white blouse and a black pencil skirt. Over the top she wore a black blazer with the company logo on the breast pocket. It was all very receptionist chic, except that the blouse had perhaps one more button undone than might have been recommended and that showed the tiniest hint of her black bra underneath. Certainly, nothing over the top but a little racier than standard.
After she had finished arranging her blazer over the chair, I was even more surprised to see her undo the buttons of her blouse and lay that on the chair as well. She immediately unzipped her skirt and took that off as well. I sat there, mouth agape, hardly believing what I was seeing.
"Gloria ...!" I started to speak.
"Hush, honey, I think this is what he means by 'usual manner'."
And she continued by unclipping her bra and pulling down her panties. Then she picked up the two packages and headed for his door.
"Wish me luck," she said, and winked as she knocked lightly before simply opening the door and disappearing from view. His door clicked shut behind her. I sat behind my desk straining to hear anything going on in his office. Ready to leap up and rush to her aid if I heard any yelps or cries for help. Then I grinned to myself. Who was I kidding. Chained as I was, I was in no position to rush anywhere. As it turned out I heard no loud voices or howls of agony just the murmur of low and indistinct voices. Suddenly the intercom buzzed beside me, and I jumped. I press the respond button.
"Sir?"
"Come into my office, Alice."
Now I was nervous. What would I see when I got there? I hesitantly stood up and approached his door and nervously opened it. Sir was standing behind his desk on the opposite side to where Gloria stood, still naked but with her hands behind her head. Across the desk were two dresses. The one I had worn this morning and the black one that I had tried on at the shop. This is what must have been in the two packages. I was a bit relieved.
"I was telling Gloria about our shopping trip and how much you enjoyed it. Especially at the end with the shop assistant. I want you to tell Gloria what she did to you that made you so happy."
"That's not necessary, Sir. I think I can imagine."
