Part 11
That Saturday, Julie and her college friend Mia were having drinks at a local bar. (In fact, it was the same bar where Tim Johnson would find himself embarrassingly exposed in front of a raucously horny female audience in a few months.)
Mia's mouth was hanging open, as she stared at her friend. "That's not true! Your boss doesn't spank your bare butt if you make a mistake at the office!"
"Shhh!" Julie looked nervously at the tables around her, but nobody seemed to have heard. "Not at first. Not until my fourth mistake in a week."
Mia lowered her voice, but was insistent. "But he swats your tush over your skirt for a second mistake, and he lifts your skirt for a third mistake?"
"Yes. I know it sounds weird." Mia snorted in agreement. "But it's not that big a deal. And he's really a good boss."
"How can he be a 'good boss'" - here Mia made sarcastic air quotes - "if he spanks your ass at work?!"
"I know it sounds weird," Julie repeated. "And it really caught me off guard at first. But now it seems more... normal."
Mia didn't know what to think. "How does it make you feel? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Julie said, "It's definitely embarrassing! The first time I had to lift my skirt up, I thought I'd die. And then when I had to pull down my panties..." She blushed, and looked around the bar to be sure that no one was eavesdropping. "But he only does it when I mistake, and he doesn't spank me so hard that I'm bruised, or anything. And... sometimes it..." She looked around again, then leaned toward Mia and whispered, "It can be kind of hot."
Mia looked at her. "I can't believe this! Are you an exhibitionist?"
"No," Julie said quickly. "I mean, I never have been before. And I would never have thought of exposing myself to him, if he didn't have this... managerial technique."
Mia snorted again. "He likes to spank pretty young women's asses. I wouldn't call that a 'managerial technique.'"
"Well, it's worked for me," Julie said, defensively. "I've been getting better at my job, andβ" She saw that Mia was grinning at her. "Oh, just forget it. I shouldn't have even told you about the job. I'll just tell him you aren't interested."
Mia said, "I didn't say that. I really need a job, and I don't know that this is necessarily a deal breaker." She thought for a moment, while Julie watched her. Finally she said, "It's just so strange! The thought of getting spanked as part of my job..."
"I know," Julie said. "It's definitely not something I was prepared for, either."
They both sat quietly for a minute, sipping their drinks and blushing faintly. Finally Mia said, "So, he's pretty good looking, you said?"
"He's a hunk! But why are you asking? Are you considering it?"
"Well, I should probably at least go to the interview, and see how I feel about things. He might not even want to hire me."
Now it was Julie's turn to snort derisively. "You're smart, and you'd be great at this job. And you're smoking hot!" Mia shook her head, but blushed. "And you know that your butt has always been your best feature."
"Stop it!" Mia was a pretty girl, with a typically Asian build: slim and petite, with smallish breasts. She had shoulder-length, jet black hair, and she took good care of herself. Her butt was indeed a little more round and prominent than the typical Asian girl's, and on her small frame, it definitely drew attention.
"You know I'm right," Julie said, grinning. "So I shouldn't email Mr. Johnson and tell him that you've decided not to interview on Monday?"
"No," Mia said. "I still think this sounds crazy, but I need a job, and it would be fun to work with you."
"And you're willing to risk having your hot young boss spanking your naughty tush right there in the office?" Julie teased.
"We'll never know," Mia said, "because if I get the job, I'm not going to make mistakes all the time, like some people I know."
Julie punched her in the shoulder playfully. "Big talker! I think I'll keep some lotion in my desk if you get hired, and if you ask nicely, I'll rub it on your stinging buns after each time you screw up!"
On Monday morning Julie was already at her desk when Tim got to the office. He seemed to be in a good mood, and he asked Julie how her weekend had been.
Julie said, "It was great. I had lunch with Mia, and she's looking forward to her interview with you this afternoon."
Tim paused at that. He still wasn't sure about how or whether he could continue with his unique employee motivation strategy once gullible Julie wasn't his only employee. He said, "So... you think she'll do well here? I mean, that she'll like the job?"
Julie nodded. "I think she'd be great. I know that she has a few... questions for you, but I think she might be a good fit."
Tim wanted to ask more, but couldn't think of how to do it. So he just said, "Good," and continued walking to his office. As he got to the door, he stopped and turned. "Also, did you do some shopping this weekend?"
Julie looked at him for a moment, confused. Then she remembered, and blushed. "Ohβthe skirts. Yes."
"Please put the first one on, and come in to show me."
She said, "I left them in my car."
