His Personal Assistant ( closed for Grant_S & Rayne_Clowd

Name: Miss Maggie Jane Hall
Age: 26
Job: unemployed personal assistant

Maggie Hall was 26, single, she could type 80wpm to 85wpm, she took short hand, was literate in most widely used computer programs, she was efficient with most day to day office work, she had brilliant phone manner and was dedicated to her job.

At least she had been dedicated to her job until she was dismissed today. Maggie had been working for J&J Insurance a private health insurance company, Where she had been the Personal Assistant for Dorian James CEO of J&J. Maggie had worked at J&J for almost 6 years, working her way up from the call center to PA of the CEO. Maggie had only worked for Dorian for the past 12 months and all of it had been hell.

He was abusive, mean and tried to work her into the ground and was never once grateful for the hard work she put in. Dorian was an elderly man, late 50's and as far as Maggie was concerned completely unattractive and sleazy. He sported a round pot belly and a shock of white and gray hair and had so many wrinkles that when he smiled it looked like someone had concertinaed his face.

Maggie had nothing against older men per-say but his personality was slimy, arrogant and wrong. It was like having a great uncle trying to pinch your bum and steal kisses.

That of course had been what Maggie had been fired for, Dorian had cornered her in the photocopy room and tried to get Maggie to photocopy her ass for him and to suck his wrinkled old cock. Maggie had put up with the comments, the looks and the occasional brush of his hand or arm but this was too far and so she had told him to go take a flying leap out of his 6th story window preferably head first.

Of course this had been over heard by the office slut and so when Dorian went to fire Maggie it was about her being insubordinate and disrespectful to authority and not doing her job to an acceptable level. Which of course the office slut Renee was now doing quite happily and would support any claims Dorian put forward as reasons. Leaving without fuss was the only option Maggie had and it at least allowed her to keep her severance pay and holiday pay as well as a reference.

Heading back to her small apartment across down Maggie flipped open her mobile phone and contacted Tessa at Howard's Consulting a reputable job agency that Maggie had dealt with in her roll as PA, they had hired a few casual staff for the call center and offices especially around the holiday season when the full times wanted time off.

It was the one contact Maggie did have up her sleeve as she had managed to strike up a business relationship and re-pore with Tessa and right now she just hoped it helped to make her land on her feet.

"Good Afternoon Tessa, its Maggie Hall " she paused and sat on a park bench to take the call. "yes that's right from J&J, how are you today?" Maggie watched a few people walk past and hurry back to their offices after lunch and she swallowed back the ball of frustration in her stomach that was making her stomach churn and bringing tears to hear eyes. "Oh that sounds like a lovely trip, no thats not why I am calling. Actually its me who needs the favor. I was wondering if I sent you my resume if you could put some feelers out for me."

A few minutes later and Maggie at least felt less insecure about her future, Tessa had assured her that it wouldn't be a problem and that she could even have something for her as soon as tomorrow if Maggie was willing to take on a temporary role.

Maggie headed home, typed up her resume and sent it off to Tessa with a cover letter and a small note of thanks to Tessa. Now all she could do was wait till tomorrow and go through the paper and pound the pavement if need be.

Mr James
Age 32
Attorney

Mr James, a very successful attorney, left the city lights, to practice law in his home town, a smaller community but back to his roots, back to help the people he set out to help when he studied all those years to gain his honors and work for the most prestigious law firm in the country, but that was the means to an end, he gained his reputation, he was a powerful opponent in the courtroom, and now, he only had a few select clients from the city, otherwise, he helped his community, fighting with developers that wanted to tear down half the town to build a shopping mall.

The morning was like every other morning, until he arrived at the office, his secretary was weeping on the steps, and as he approached, she looked up at him and shook her head, ushering her into the office, she explained her husband had sold her out, he accepted a job from the developers across country. Mr James knew this was their tactic to swamp him in paperwork, he asked her to dial a number of a friend in the city, and gave her the number, she worked for an employment agency, and they had good hard working people on their books, but he was still sad to see his current secretary leave, she worked the hours needed, no complaints, no mistakes, and hardly took off for lunch, even though he didn't ask it of her, she knew he hated answering the telephone, he hated to be disturbed.

The call was put through to his office, Hi Tessa, its Mr James here, Yes I know, you still owe me dinner for you divorce settlement, but thats not why I am calling. I'm in a jam, I need a secretary urgently, she has to be fast, accurate and not worry to much about the clock, rather get the work finished, do you think you can find me her they exchanged pleasantries, and he told her about living in the small town, which she rolled her eyes, and turned her nose up, she was a big city girl, who loved the shops, take that away from her, then she felt she fought for half of her ex husbands wealth for nothing, even though she used the money to set up her own employment agency.

As luck would have it Maggie didn't need to wait until tomorrow, to hear back from Tessa. That afternoon as Maggie had been updating her facebook page ranting about her ex boss the call came in. "CHAUVINISTIC MEN SHOULD BE CASTRATED SO THEY KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A WOMAN" was her newest status message. No surprise a lot of her girlfriends who also worked in offices around the city tended to agree and liked the status.

She answered her phone absently as she still looked at facebook on her laptop "Hi di hi" hearing Tessa's voice on the other end of the line Maggie jolted up straight in her chair feeling foolish "oh so sorry, hi Tessa yes this is Maggie" she gently slapped herself in the forehead as she listened to Tessa.

Tessa began to tell her about a new job that just came up, she told Maggie what was required and it all sounded fantastic, until Tessa mentioned that Maggie would have to relocate urgently for the job. Maggie didn't know what to say at first she had lived in this apartment ever since she moved out of her parents home and had gotten her job at J&J.

Maggie had been there 6 years and it was then as she looked around her apartment listening to Tessa that she realized she had hardly decorated, she knew no one in her building and she had never really liked the apartment any way it was just cheap. Sure she had a few friends in the city but really what was keeping her here? The answer was nothing.

"I'll take it Tessa, I can be on site... say tomorrow afternoon" it was going to take her a little while to pack up some things and hire a care and by the time she drove out the earliest she would be able to make it was tomorrow afternoon. She figured she would just drive back next weekend and pack up her apartment and move if the job worked out, that gave her 3 days on the job and a pay check in the bank, it also gave her chance to find a rental in Milton.

Maggie wrote down Mr James and the address and contact details for the law office and then hung up the phone. She took a moment to look around her apartment and then dragged out a suit case and a couple of boxes and began to pack a few things. She was doing this, she was actually starting a new chapter of her life and it had her both excited and scared shitless.

The phone rang and the call was put through to Mr Jame's office, it was from Tessa. "Hi Tessa, you found someone, thats great, when can she get here? Tomorrow afternoon, mmmm, can you push for her to come tonight and start tomorrow, its really important, I can't be disturbed while working on this case, thanks Tessa, I know you will do your best" hanging up the phone, Mr James looked at his case work.

Setting down for a long slog, his secretary brought in some coke and sandwiches. He looked at the tray, and cleared his throat, even on her last day she was trying her luck, he pointed to the mess she made while carrying the tray into his office. Her eyes dropped, she knew the routine, he stood and walked over to his cabinet, taking a thin cane out, the one she hated the most, and was kept for the most serious of fuck ups, but since today was her last day, she was in for it.

Turning as he walked over to her, she already had he skirt bunched up around her waist, panties pulled down to her knees, bending over the desk. Mr James walked round and swished the cane, using the tip to push her panties down to her ankles. Sliding the cane up between her legs, until it came to rest against her sex, he watched as she flinched, rubbing it along the crease of her lips.

Stepping to the side, Mr James delivered 10 strokes on her rump, and 2 just below her ass, on her upper thighs, so that they were visible when she bent over in her skirt, looking at his handy work, he rubbed her warm ass cheeks, before dismissing her, and getting back to work.

The end of the day came rather quickly and Mr James heard the light knock at his door, his secretary was there to say her goodbyes, and Mr James felt sad for losing someone so dedicated to her work, and loved the punishment he dished out, he wasn't sure he would find another like her, but he wouldn't settle for imperfection, and the new girl had better have high standards

Maggie had filled up half the suitcase when the phone rang again, "Hello, Maggie Hall Speaking" she listened, it was Tessa and it seemed Maggie was going to have to leave tonight as soon as possible because her new boss wanted her there first thing. Maggie bit her lip this threw a spanner in the works and meant she was going to be less prepared for her new job then she had hoped. "Sure Tessa if it is what is required I can do it, Does he understand where I am coming from?" Tessa didn't respond to the question directly, but it was implied that Mr James was not one that would be tempted to see things from someone else's perspective it was his way or no way.

"I will be there in the morning" Maggie hung up the phone and then let out a frustrated sigh before she picked up the phone again and rang the airline and a car hire place at the airport in Milton. She booked a red-eye flight to Milton and a hire car for 2 weeks. Maggie then threw more clothes in her suitcase and gathered up her toiletries. She was going to have to make do with only a few things till she could come back and pack on the weekend. She would have to contact her landlord from Milton but first she would see how things went, for all she knew Mr James could fire her on site.

By 10pm Maggie was feeling tired but had packed one suitcase, one carry on bag that contained one change of clothes a few toiletries, a book, her briefcase and laptop bag. She then rang the cab company and booked a cab from her apartment to the airport at 11:30pm which meant she would arrive in Milton at 2am, it was then she realized she had no accommodation booked when she got to Milton she just hoped they had at least one hotel chain in town even if it was budget.

The rest of the night was a blur and Maggie only paused to catch her breath when she stood outside the small airport of Milton and closed the boot of the beat up hire car. She blew out in the cold night air sending a puff of fog swirling up around her face. "Welcome to Milton" she whispered to herself and then slid behind the wheel and headed towards town.

It was a cold foggy night and she was beat, it had been a long emotional day and it was taking it's toll. Maggie needed a hotel and she needed it now, she drove for about 30min and was now in what she guessed to be the center of town. Everything was shut and looked so quaint and small town country that she suddenly had a moment of panic. "what have I done" she stopped the car in front of one of the little shops and just sat looking around the street.

Shaking her head she took a deep breath, it was too late to turn back now. Maybe she could learn to live here and like it. Maggie was not use to small towns and country life this was going to be a stretch. At least the work would be easy she thought as she started off in search of a hotel or motel again.

At 3am a blue neon sign blinked vacancy and Maggie pulled into the only motel she managed to find, it didn't look like much but for now it would be home. She had to ring a night bell to get service and a sleepy old man answered the door in his dressing gown. He looked surprised to see anyone about this time of night and even more surprised she could be moving to town. Maggie took her room key and went to get settled.

Her room for the next week consisted of a double bed covered in some god awful floral duvet, a small bathroom where you could if you had the inclination to - sit on the toilet and brush your teeth, a microwave, small fridge that looked like it would hold a carton of milk and not much else and a tiny tv. It truly was nothing special and she really wasn't comfortable but it would have to do. Maggie stripped off and collapsed on the bed. She didn't bother unpacking or having a shower she simply laid out on the bed and went to sleep.

Mr James spent the evening working late, preparing for court, if these people wanted to play dirty, then so be it, there would be no mercy, he would not settle out of court. Only leaving the office when coke would not do the trick anymore, and it was well after midnight, when he settled into bed, he slept well, his massive bed custom made, and he always slept well in it.

Waking in the morning, Mr James had a shower, it was the best way to wake up for him, and he had breakfast, important to get him through the day. Dressed, he drove to the office, hoping the new secretary would be there on time, he hated tardiness or having to stop what he was doing just to show her around, and explain his rules and what he expects of her.

Pulling up to the office, he looked around, and sighed, going to his office he settled behind his desk, then smiled and went and put his cane on his desk, he wanted his new girl to see it, and know that there is a punishment that comes with sloppiness and when his standards are not met.

However, he waned the new secretary to work out, and as he settled behind his desk the phone rang and after answering it, he wishes she would get here soon, it was some salesmen wanting to sell an apartment, without answering he slammed the phone down letting out a frustrated grunt

Maggie groaned as she woke up the next morning, the alarm clock beeped so persistently she couldn't ignore it any longer, she needed more sleep but she wasn't going to get it. Rolling off the bed she staggered to the tiny bathroom still half asleep, looking at herself in the vanity mirror she groaned again. "oooooh boy thats scary" she muttered to her reflection and then reached to turn on the shower.

The bathroom steamed up quickly, at least this place had good plumbing she thought as she undressed and stepped into the shower. The hot water on her jet lagged body was heavenly, it eased away aches and revitalized her a little. Taking care she washed her hair with the tiny bottle of shampoo the motel supplied, shaved her legs and made sure she was scrubbed head to toe, Maggie wanted to look her best today.

Leaving the shower running Maggie wrapped a towel around herself and went back into the room to retrieve her clothes. She didn't have enough time to iron her things this morning, Maggie hoped the steam from the shower would be enough to make the wrinkles fall out of the fabric. Hanging her things at the other end of the shower away from the water she then wiped the steam from the mirror and began drying her hair with the dryer.

A short time later she fashioned her hair into an easy style applied a little bit of makeup, then finished getting dressed. She went for classic office attire white shirt, black skirt, stockings, heels and black vest and jacket, hoping it would suit the small town law firm. She looked at her watch no time for breakfast so she picked up her brief case and headed off to the first day of what could be her new life.

A little flustered Maggie finally found the small office. She pulled into the car park and adjusted her hair, took a steadying breath and then got out of the hire car and headed towards the front door. As she entered the bell above the door chimed, Maggie smiled thinking how quaint.

Maggie didn't notice anyone at first but she heard a loud bang come from the inner office, "Hello Mr James?" she called out so that he would know someone had arrived. Then she walled towards the slightly open door, reaching up she tentatively knocked on it before taking a step into the office "Good Morning Mr James, I'm Maggie Hall....Tessa sent me" she said as way of introduction stepping forward and extending her hand to him.

It was then that her eyes fell to the cane sitting on the end of his desk, she couldn't hide her puzzled expression it reminded her of the type they use to have in schools or that an animal trainer may use. She had no idea what use Mr James would have for it in an office but she was too polite to ask, maybe he used it to train a pet or something. She swallowed and put a smile back on her face and waited for him to shake her hand.

Hearing a little commotion down the passage, Mr James shook his head, his secretary would take care of it, then he heard the light knock at his door, frustrated he looked up and saw this girl standing there, then it came back to him that his old secretary had left and this is who Tessa had sent. He stood and walked over to her, and looked at the clock on the wall.

"Well if Tessa sent you she is wasting your's and my time, look at you, you a mess, your clothes are crumpled, your time keeping is pathetic" he looked at his desk, and saw the cane, "You see this?" he picked up the cane, "I used this on my last secretary to keep her in line but I can see with you I would be wasting my time, and as you can see I don't have the time to waste, Tessa must be slipping sending you here to me, she should be horrified at the sight of you" turning he went back behind the desk and looked down at his papers, but saw the girl had not moved. "Yes" he raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders

"What, you think you could meet my standards, well, lets see" he stood and walked over to her again, pulling the chair for visitors out, a rich leather seat, "Grab hold of the seat and don't let go, until I tell you too" he waited, and since she took too long to respond he slapped her ass, "when I say you do something you do it immediately, is that clear?" walking over to his desk he picked up the cane and walked out of her view, "Keep your eyes front" lifting the tip of the cane he pointed out all the creases in her clothes, when he was done, "You may turn, now can you see your faults, if you want this job, you will be watched closely, and every mistake will earn you a spanking, with either my bare hand, or with the cane, on your naked ass, if this rule is too much for you, walk out the door now, and don't waste my time further, as you can see I am busy" his voice filled with disdain and disgust at having to point out the tardiness of the new girls dress, then he added, "and if you decide you want the job, you will receive your first spanking today for appearing here dressed like this, there is no excuse for being late and dressed like this"

Shocked there was no other word for it, Maggie stood in front of Mr James and trembled she was terrified and completely caught off guard. Her eyes were wide her mouth was gaping she just couldn't believe her ears. Surely this was a joke, some strange set up, maybe he knew about her last employer being a sleaze bag......but there was something about his words and his actions that drove home what he was saying, Mr James was not joking.

She looked down at her clothes and yes there were a few wrinkles but nothing too bad was he really that upset about her presentation and was she really late? she had thought she was on time, Maggie's cheeks burned and before she knew it she was whispering "I am sorry Sir" mortified Maggie ran her hand over her skirt trying to remove one of the wrinkles that was now glaring at her screaming evidence of her failure to make a good first impression.

Maggie took a shaky breath and swallowed as her eyes darted to the chair and then back to the cane. He was serious he wanted her to stand and receive a beating, she was alarmed her heart raced in her chest and she thought she very well may faint. But regardless of her discomfort she couldn't move and she couldn't tell him to go to hell she was paralyzed.

Mr James voice was so even and so commanding she felt her stomach roll every time he spoke, he was a very powerful man this was for certain. Then her hoped soared a little, he was going to give her a chance to make it right...did she want it? Maggie was so thrown by it all, she really did not know what to make of this. He pointed to every wrinkle on her skirt there were more then she realized, biting her lip she stepped forward and gripped the back of the chair.

She didn't know why she had submitted to this why she was giving in, maybe she was tired of fighting off the advances of her bosses, maybe she just wanted to prove she could please him. At this point she didn't know but she bent over the chair and simply replied "Yes Sir " she looked to him briefly and then back down to his desk. Her heart was hammering in her chest and her lips where dry anticipation surged through her body mixing with the fear.

Lift your skirt Mr James tugged the hem of the skirt higher as she lifted her skirt, exposing her ass cheeks. Smiling, he liked the whiteness of her ass. Rubbing his hand over her naked cheeks, he lifted his hand away, making her waited, 30 seconds past before he brought his hand down, and spanked her ass, but after the first, he continued to spank her, both cheeks were rosy, as the blood rushed to the areas where each blow landed, 10 blows to each cheek.

Stepping back, he took a closer look at hi handy work, looking to see the damage, walking to his chair, he sat and looked at the girl. You can leave know, but remember, everything will be monitored, your dress, your tardiness, your spelling, in fact everything that makes me have to stop and correct you, will bring you to where you are now, do we understand each other? Mr James picked up a letter he needed typed out and slid it across the desk, You my go do some work now looking down at his desk, he got back into the work that he had been busy with before he was interrupted.

Maggie was hesitant in her actions, she lent over the desk and she lifted her skirt ..why was she doing this!!! Her mind spun her inner conflict was raging at her to end this sickness now. She must be going mad, surly she was not so jet lagged and beaten down that she would allow this humiliation to continue.

He slid down her panties and caressed her ass with his large warm hand, his grip firm and controlling. Maggie held her breath and felt her sex throb in response. Good god she was going crazy, she would not stand for this, why was she obeying she should storm from his office and report him or something.

The first slap fell and she gasped and held onto the desk to brace herself, she was shocked but shamefully she was aroused the act caused her to lick her lips and to bend a little more god have mercy she wanted more. He slapped down again and Maggie whimpered, it stung and burned her bare ass cheeks, but her sex began to throb all the more she could feel her dampness grow with each slap. She felt so naughty, so vulnerable, yet empowered, so completely sexy.

It was such a strange combination and like nothing she had experienced before by choosing to allow this by giving him this control she felt empowered and incredibly aroused. All too soon it was over she stood with her thighs apart bent at the waist wanting more she wanted to protest when he sat back down and when he said she could leave her heart sank.....untill he told her she would be monitored, he was giving her the job. Standing she took the paper he slipped towards her and fixed her clothing.

She looked at him and smiled "Yes Sir" and then left his office to find her desk and begin her new life in this small hick town. It seem to hold many surprises she thought to hers self as she sat down and began get settled.

Looking at his papers, Mr James could not get his head back into it, he sat back, a smile spread across his lips, as he recalled the new girl, although tardy she had potential, she was beautiful, but also, she submitted to his punishment, in fact, from her reaction, she wanted more, she was a special one, his last loved his touch, but she was married, he didn't a see a ring on her finger or in the file that Tessa sent him, and that presented lots of possibilities.

Satisfied that Maggie was going to work out good, Mr James, picked up the phone. Hello Maggie, could you bring me a soda, no ice, and make me a sandwhich, the stuff is all in the kitchen, oh, and if you could bring me the letter you have typed up so I can sign it and you can post it. Looking over Maggie's file, he noticed the firm she worked for, and smiled, she was a big city girl, and from the looks of it, she had never been to a small town in her life, calling Tessa to find out more, she told him about her previous employer Dorian James CEO of J&J. Mr James had heard of this man before.

The phone buzzed letting Maggie know it was an internal call, she couldn't help but smile as she answered "Hello Mr James, Yes Mr James right away Sir" what was getting into her. She had been humiliated, he had spanked her bare ass within the first few moments of meeting her she should be angry and upset but she wasn't in the slightest. She shook her head and pressed the print key on the keyboard and then made her way to the little kitchen.

It was only a small kitchen so it didn't take Maggie long to find a glass and organize a glass of coke and a ham salad sandwich for Mr James. On impulse she slid and a copy of todays paper onto the tray and then went via the printer to fetch the letter. At the door to his office she paused took a deep breath and knocked twice before entering.

Moving to his desk she placed down the tray and his drink and put the letter into his in tray and then stood back to see if he needed her for anything else. She did not say a word as he seemed to be concentrating on some paper work and she knew it best not to disturb him. From her pocket she took a few slips of paper with messages from various land owners in the area all wanting to speak to Mr James.

Maggie had taken as much detail down as she could and assured them that they would get back to the shortly, Mr James had been on the phone at the time so she had not wanted to disturb him, it seem to her though that someone was trying to buy up a lot of the land just outside of town.

Having a sip of his drink, and taking his sandwich he ate it. Glancing up, he saw that Maggie had put some messages down, flicking through them, he knew exactly what it was about, and put them back on the tray.

Taking the letter off the tray, he glanced through it, then set it down, opening his drawer, he pulled out a red pen, sighing, he circled some spelling errors and punctuation. This was more of an irritant, as it meant the letter could not be sent.

Maggie, will you come to my office his voice was stern and flat. Straightening the letter at the edge of his desk, Mr James waited for her to enter, in his hand, he held a plastic ruler, a 5mm thick ruler, that he would use as a correction instrument.

When Maggie had entered his office, he made her stand in front of the letter, Look at the letter, and tell me, do you see anything different? I expected a lot better from you, you come with a good reputation, even though your previous boss has little or no good words for you, human resources did have more glowing words of recommendation, however, I am not so sure Using the ruler he rubbed it over her ass, then told her to lift her skirt, For every red mark, you will receive a hiding. Now, how many red marks do you see? lifting the ruler, he brought it down on her ass, the crack of plastic against flesh resounding around the room, five more blows, and he was done, he set the ruler down in front of her, and for his own pleasure, he ran his hand over the red welts of her ass, gentle, as he felt the heat from her skin warm him.

Go back, and do it right, and next time, for every mistake, it will be double, he went and sat behind his desk, making a few calls, from the messages that she brought, then got back to the paperwork, and files laid out across his desk, picking up the phone again, Maggie, is that letter done yet?

Maggie had been eating her lunch when the phone buzzed again, she picked it up knowing it was Mr James "Yes Sir" she replied hesitantly before replacing the receiver. His voice seemed to have an edge to it and frantically Maggie was trying to consider what she had done that may have upset him.

Placing down her sandwich she made sure her mouth was clean and straightened her clothes before heading towards his office, at the door she knocked twice and then entered "Yes Mr James?" she asked as she approached his desk. Her eyes fell to the letter and her heart sank, she could see the bold red marks he had made. It was clear to Maggy that she had clearly been so thrown by everything that had already happened today and the jet lag, that it was obvious her work had suffered.

Maggie winced at the red marks, but not as much as when Mr James mentioned her old boss scorning her. Maggie's head flew up and she looked at him her mouth open ready to protest, but what could she say....her boss was a slimy old man that tried to get in her pants at every turn....her cheeks burned, it was not like Mr James would believe her innocence after what she had allowed this morning. Sighing she lowered her eyes back to the page "sorry Sir, it was careless" she said in a soft dejected voice.

Tingles shot down the back of Maggie's thighs as the ruler caressed over her ass, reminding her of the spanking he had given her this morning. Her mouth went dry and she shifted from one foot to the other rubbing her thighs together, there was no chance of him believing her to be anything but an office tramp. Look at how she responded to his humiliation she could feel her damp panties and did not flinch or hesitate as he pushed her forward making her lean over the desk again and commanded for her to lift her skirt.

Maggie complied she lifted her skirt and bent, she wanted his punishment, she deserved it."6 Sir I see six mistakes Sir" her breath was soft and breathy she was aroused and nervous, what would the ruler feel like, is that all he planned and would he notice her arousal? all this went through Maggie's head as she bent over the desk her thoughts only broken by the secession of slaps to her ass that followed.

The rule was placed on the desk in front of her eyes, her heart hammered in her chest as she felt him stand so close to her and his hand ran down caressing over her burning welts. Maggie closed her eyes and took a deep breath and tried to remain still. The spell finally broken by his command to do it again and as if nothing had happened he went back to work.

For a moment Maggie had been stunned but she quickly scooped up the letter and then went back to her desk to retype it, she was careful this time no mistakes she was sure of it. When Mr James buzzed again she smiled pleased with herself "yes Sir, I will bring it right in. Mr Worthy is also here for his appointment."

Mr James was seated behind his desk looking over some files, clearly busy so Maggie simply put the letter into his in tray and asked politely "excuse me Sir, did you wish me to send in Mr Worthy now or should I make him another cup of coffee while he waits?"

Looking up as she placed the letter in the tray, the corner of his lips curled as he smiled, Ahh yes, please send him in his voice picked up. While Maggie left to go call Mr Worthy, he looked over the letter, delaying just a moment, until they entered the office again, then he signed it.

Nodding to Maggie, Could you make me 4 copies, and send them to these people, urgent mail delivery, the addresses are in the file he handed her the file, and shook, Mr Worthy's hand. The meeting was regarding the development, and Mr Worthy had an important angle that cold help.

With the information that he was waiting for, Mr James stood, and offered My Worthy a drink, walking over to the drinks cabinet and pouring him a single malt whiskey.

A celebratory drink was shared, everything had fallen into place, just the way Mr James had hoped, and when Mr Worthy left, Mr James took the file, and left his office. Miss Hall, I have papers to file in court, I will be back shortly he looked at her desk, and was impressed at how neat she had arranged everything, without making a comment, but just a nod of his head.

Just before walking out the door, he turned, Miss Hall, when I get back, I want you to come to my office, so you can tell me a little more about yourself, and who you are, what you expect from this job, and what your fears are, and I will explain more what I expect from you

Maggie smiled brightly and took the file and the letter, obviously happy to have pleased him. "yes Mr James, right away. If you need anything else just buzz" she then excused herself with a polite smile and nod to Mr Worthy and closed the door behind her.

Quickly photo copying the letter 4 times, so that she could file the original. Maggie then double checked the addresses on th envelopes before setting them aside ready to post, she would take all of them up to the post office as soon as she had a chance. Mr worthy had just left and Maggie was going to as Mr James if he would like her to do that now but before she got the chance he was in the lobby files under his arm and heading for the door.

Flustered for a moment concerned she would not get a chance to post them she listened to him and nodded before blurting "aah excuse me Mr James, just one thing, I don't mean to bother you but I was just about to go and post the letters for you. But I can not leave the office unattended would you mind dropping them into the box for me?" she truly hoped he would see it as a sensible request and not be angry at her. "They are all ready to go, I have even stamped them."

She was so uncertain of herself, in the city she would have just added the letters to the daily mail and some other office underling would have taken care of it. But of course in the city she would not have cared so much about displeasing her boss over something so trivial, what was coming over her? Why did she have such a huge desire to please him.

Turning to look at her, "You mean to say you haven't called for courier to come collect?" he shook his head, looking at his watch, "Its too late now, lock the office behind you and rush to the centre of town, and make sure it is sent today, and do it without delay"

Turning on his heels, he headed out the office, not upset, but frustrated with himself for not explaining it to her, he was so used to having it done without having to issue instructions.

Filing the papers in court, Mr James, crossed paths with fellow towns people, and addressed their concerns, taking the time to make sure they were at ease, he felt it was important, rather than having to address them individually in his office. It was what Mr Worhty had come to see him about and set up a small public meeting to address them.

Seeing Miss Hall leaving the courier office, he smiled, knowing it would be sent on time.

Heading back to the office, finally able to relax from the stress, after filing his papers, Mr James walked in, and looked at Miss Hall, "Miss Hall, will you bring something to drink for yourself, and a glass of coke for me into the office, I want to have that discussion with you" he walked into his office, and took his suit jacket off, and sat behind his desk, but now, it was a relaxed posture he took up, and waited for Maggie

Maggie blushed, she felt like such a fool of course he had meant the courier, Mr James had said as soon as possible. It had just never crossed Maggie's mind that this small town would have a courier or that this office would use one. Standing up she followed him from the office the envelopes in hand, stopping to lock the doors.

Stopping by the florist on her way back to the office she brought a bright cheerful bunch of different coloured roses, reds, peach, pink, white, yellow. They were quite beautiful and she thought would look lovely on the side table in Mr James office.

It was just an innocent gesture of thanks to Mr James, for giving her a trial as his personal assistant. Maggie was confused by her emotions still, she was grateful to him for the job, but at the same time knew that spanking her for mistakes was wrong and that she should be repulsed, mortified and angry about it, to say the least, but she wasn't she wanted to know if it aroused him like it did her.

Maggie unlocked the office and went to the small kitchen where she found a vase for the flowers, thens he took them to his office and placed them on the side table with the thank you card. She then went back to her desk, she tidied up some files and sorted out a few messages for Mr James just as he came back into the office. She smiled at him warmly and nodded her head in greeting.

Listening to his request Maggie grew a little nervous but smiled "yes Mr James, right away" she hurried into the kitchen and fetched him a glass of coke and a glass of water for herself. She tucked his messages under her arm and headed to Mr James office. She crossed the room with a quick glance to the flowers wondering if he had noticed. Then she placed his coke on the desk and sat down in the chair opposite him holding her glass of water in her hands as she perched on the edge of the chair clearly nervous.
