As the interview wrapped up, she felt even better about the milestones she was reaching ahead of schedule. The magazine had made an offer she couldn’t refuse that would boost her career at work and also her life outside of work. Her secretary had confirmed that the dinner plans were canceled, even though she had the message relayed to her man that they were moved up. She had notified her friends to meet her at the spa, as the limo would be picking her up from work instead of picking them up. She blamed the changed on the ineptitude of her hubby’s planning skills, something she hoped he’d never find out, as it wasn’t true.
All she had to do was get some take-out, pull her best seduction maneuvers, and be on her way to the spa before night fall. She checked herself in the mirror to see that she was perfectly set. The seduction was built on the fact her husband seemed powerless to say no to her whenever she wore a specific shade of red lip-liner and had her hair out in lazy curls. She had made a point of having her hair adjusted after the photo-shoot for the article to be just what he liked and couldn’t resist.
Feeling bold, she made one more wardrobe change. There was this brand new white cashmere sweater dress that was a bit too short that she had gotten as a gift two years prior and never worn. Today was the day. She switched over to her red bottomed five inch heels. Got rid of her panties. Added a bit of blush to her makeup. Padded her bras a bit. And with a satisfactory look, went down to the lobby to pick up her limo ride home. The tigress was ready to pounce!
While waiting in the lobby for the limo that was about ten minutes away, her secretary approaches with a lady of high society sophistication next to her. Polite introductions were made and the lady asked to share a few thoughts in private before the evening plans were underway. While a bit curious about what Mrs Sophisticated had to say, she was not wanting to delay getting on with her plans. Leaving work early was the key to making the night work.
Mercifully, Mrs. Sophisticated was pretty direct and to the point. The mini monologue basically said that the key to happiness in life is knowing one’s station in life. To be submissive to one’s husband, when one’s husband was a great man, was the highest honor a lady could bestow on such a man. The modern era mindset of women dominating men was not going to result in lasting deep spiritual and emotional satisfaction in the home, as the ego of a man had not sufficiently evolve yet to face the dominance of women. The lady concluded by advising to be open to surprises in plans and not resist much, as resistance often brought about consequences.
While she tried hard not to dismiss this lady or look at her with derision, she politely listened and hoped the limo would arrive to save her from this antiquated foolishness of submission. No way was she going to ever submit to any man. Her man had to submit to her… after all, she was smarter, kept outsmarting him, and she was a woman. That simply meant that she ran things better and that was it.
The woman closed her comment about resisting and consequences by patting her own tush while smiling a wicked smile and batting a knowing eye. Whatever that wink meant, it shook the confidence she had been experiencing. How did this woman know to wrap her speech with a patting of her tush in a manner similar to how she had done when recalling the spanking she got while snooping earlier that day? What was that very wise knowing nod all about?
There was no way her man could know and anticipate her moves. She had not said a word to him. She had made sure everyone knew not to cross her. The limo driver understood that crossing her would spell disaster for the account he had with her company, her man, his company, and that of her friends. He was the only one who knew of a single change of plans. She was careful to insist he wait at the house to take them to their dinner outing so that hubby couldn’t tease out any clues of what was going to happen to him. In fact, no one knew she was going to leave hubby cuffed to the bed as she went out that night. This would teach him about spanking her and ensure she enjoy herself for the night without him coming after her to try and salvage his plans.
So, who was this Mrs. Sophisticated and how did she know? Or did she know anything at all? Whatever the case, the woman quickly pulled away and head out to a waiting luxurious car, that took off to places unknown. That was one weird moment and she had to pull herself back and get into her game face.
