Jessica snapped a photo of herself in the mirror. She had just gotten out of the shower, and had her hair wrapped in a towel. She was otherwise nude. "Just a little treat for Scott," she thought, snapping a couple of different angles. She got a look at the time out of the corner of her eye and realized that she was VERY late for work. She quickly hit send on her two favourites- one with her squeezing one of her perfect nipples, and the other with her leg up on the counter, fully exposing her cute pussy- smiling to herself as she imagined the kind of reaction that Scott would have when he received them at work.
Jessica's day continued on as usual; she was interning at a large communications firm and spent a large chunk of her day writing copy. It was somewhat boring work, but the internship provided invaluable networking opportunities for her career. She was a little surprised that she hadn't yet gotten a text back from Scott, but assumed that perhaps he was just having a busy day. It was for this reason that she didn't understand why Mark stopped by her office.
Mark was one of the full-time staff at the firm. He was a few years older than her, and worked in her unit. She hadn't had a ton of interaction with him beyond being given tasks, but they got along well. "Are you having a good morning so far, Jessica?" he asked, a smirk playing on his face as he entered her office and closed the door.
Jessica raised her eyebrow at the closed door, but assumed that perhaps he had something confidential for her to work on. "It's been good so far," Jessica said brightly, her curiosity definitely piqued. She waited for him to continue.
"Glad to see you were able to get all cleaned up for work," he said, the smirk turning into a malicious grin. Jessica's smile faltered as she got the distinct feeling that she was on the outside of an inside joke.
"What...what do you mean?" she asked, confused.
"Oh, nothing," Mark said casually, "I just want you to know how much we value...cleanliness...in this office."
Jessica's stomach began to feel upset- clearly Mark was having a bit of fun at her expense, but she didn't understand what he was getting at. "Um, okay," Jessica said, blushing. She didn't like this feeling one bit.
Mark perched on the side of her desk, fiddling with a couple of pens. "So I received an interesting text message this morning," Mark said nonchalantly,
Finally, Jessica thought, he's getting down to business. "Oh? From which client?" she asked, relieved that the conversation was steering more toward work.
"From an employee, actually," he said, making intense eye contact. Jessica found herself flushing, and looked down at her painted toes instead. "From you, Jessica," he said, not taking his eyes off of her.
"From me?" she said, suddenly confused again, "But I didn't..."
Jessica's heart sank.
She grabbed her phone frantically, silently willing away what she knew deep down was the truth. She opened her text history with Scott. "I love you, babe" was the last text that he sent- last night. There were no photos.
"No, no no no no no no!" Jessica exclaimed, going back through her text messages. Mark was the second text, as he had messaged her the night before about a meeting location change. "No, no. No I didn't..." Jessica mumbled, opening the thread. Sure enough, the two very explicit nudes that she had meant to send to her boyfriend were sent to her colleague instead.
"Oh yes, yes yes yes yes yes," Mark teased, clearly enjoying Jessica's discomfort.
"Mark, I didn't mean to send those...oh my god, I am so sorry. Please delete them...please...please don't fire me," Jessica stammered, her face the same colour as her crimson toenail polish. "Oh my god, that's why you're here- to fire me," Jessica said, her body feeling completely panicked.
"No, I'm not here to fire you," Mark said, his face gently smiling, "I think that we can work something else out. I am not going to tell anyone about this- well, beyond the few people that I've already told. This will be our secret, Jessica, but you are going to have to do something for me."
"Anything," Jessica said naively, relieved that she would still have her job, and not have to leave in scandal.
"Good girl," Mark said, "I have scheduled us a meeting for just after work. You will attend, and myself plus a few others will let you know what you'll need to do to keep your job- a project of sorts. Does that sound okay?"
Jessica was so filled with relief that she didn't even balk at the notion of others knowing about the photos. "Yes, Mark, yes, of course. I will do any additional work that you need- thank you so much for letting me keep my job," Jessica said, resisting the urge to hug him. "I promise it won't happen again."
"We'll see about that," Mark said slyly as he left her office.
--
The sick feeling stayed with Jessica all day. She realized that she would have to tell Scott about her mistake- not that she cheated on him, but she had accidentally sent another man photos of herself nude- she felt it much better to come clean about things than to try to hide it. Plus, she certainly needed to debrief the day with him after the emotional rollercoaster that she had been through.
The hours dragged on, but finally the workday ended. Mark hadn't booked their meeting into her work calendar; instead he had replied to her ill-fated text to tell her to meet him and "the others" in the upstairs boardroom. Jessica could vaguely picture it- she had only ever been to a meeting there once, with some big wigs from the company. It was on the executive level and had a huge boardroom table surrounded by black leather chairs. She gathered her things, stopping by the washroom to touch up her makeup before heading upstairs. Yes, everyone in the room had seen her naked, but she still wanted to look her best.
She was surprised to see four men in the boardroom when she arrived. She was even more surprised to see the two photos that she'd mistakenly sent blown up on the projector for everyone to see. Her nakedness stared back at her, and she felt her face flush instantly. Why Mark had felt the need to put her on display like that was beyond her- it was totally cruel- but, if this was the worst consequence of her mistake she supposed that she could live with it.
"Thank you for coming, Jessica," he said kindly, "please have a seat. These are my colleagues- some of the senior executives of the company- meet Luke, Van, and Raoul.
Jessica waved meekly, taking her seat and smoothing out her skirt on her lap. She sat up straight, determined to preserve some sort of dignity through her humiliation. "I want to thank you all again for not firing me for such a carless and grave error," she said politely.
"You are welcome," Mark said, "it was certainly a possibility. Luckily, I was able to talk my colleagues into a different option. As we discussed this morning, you will need to complete an additional project for us- or, rather, a series of projects- to make up for this mistake. Are you willing to do this?" he asked, knowing the answer.
"Yes, of course. I will do anything that you need me to do to rectify my mistake," Jessica said earnestly.
"See?" Mark said to the others, "I told you she was amenable."
