~*~

Natacha's working day was gradually coming to an end. And while the building unhurriedly emptied and the sun slowly began its descent, the young woman who was visibly stressed had her eyes glued to her watch. And for good reason, she only had a few minutes left before she could finally go to make her request. Barnes had no idea how her boss would react to this, but she hoped their next discussion wouldn't end negatively. After all, she risked being fired in the next few minutes.

However, the young woman was confident. She was still one of his best employees, if not his best employee and felt that this gave her a certain recognition with Mr. Invictus. Natacha had never been late for work or in submitting one of her reports; she had never caused the slightest problem for the company. Therefore, there was no reason why she couldn't get this pay increase. However, despite all the encouragement she could give herself, it didn't stop Barnes from being very nervous, which Tess, her co-worker, noticed while she was putting her things away.

“Natacha, is everything okay?” she asked.

“Yes, everything’s fine. I was just…I was just thinking about something I'm about to do.”

“I see. I hope everything goes well for you.”

“Thank you. Say, Tess…”

“Listen, Natacha, it's not that I don't want to continue this conversation, but it's starting to get late and I have other things, much more important things to do,” she retorted suddenly with a somewhat condescending tone.

At that moment, Barnes remembered who she had just spoken to. Tess, who had just put her things away, got up from her seat, and went to knock on her boss's office door. While Harlock was in Invictus' office, Natacha couldn't help but think how much she hated this woman, this woman who only thought of herself and who had recently gotten a promotion. All this gave her all the determination she needed to make her request as well. There was no way a woman like Tess Harlock would be paid more than her.

Five minutes later, Natacha's colleague left their boss's office with a slight smile on the corners of her lips. Tess then wished Natacha an excellent evening before leaving the room for good. Seeing her, the young woman couldn't help but wonder what they had said inside. She looked so happy. However, Harlock's emotional state wasn't what mattered at the moment. Barnes had something important to do and it was time for her to get on with it.

Now finding herself alone, Barnes waited a few minutes before finally gathering her courage and heading towards Herman Invictus' office. The moment she had been waiting for had finally come. She was about to ask for a promotion. There were no words to describe how nervous the young woman was. Her heart was beating so fast she felt like anyone could hear it. Natacha tried to calm down, but it was to no avail. She then told herself that there was nothing she could do about it and finally knocked on the door.

After entering the room, Barnes found herself facing her boss who was once again standing in front of one of the enormous windows of his office. Herman was surprised to see his second secretary, thinking that she had already gone home.

“Miss Barnes, what are you still doing here? I thought you had already gone home.”

“I was about to, sir, but…”

Natacha suddenly stopped talking. And for good reason, she was even more nervous than before entering this room and was afraid to broach a subject as delicate as a salary increase. She feared that her boss would reject her request, but above all that it would have very negative repercussions on her career.

“Is everything okay, Miss Barnes? You seem not to be in your normal state,” he retorted, taking a seat in his seat.

Natacha wondered what she was doing. After all the encouragement she had given herself a few minutes ago, why couldn't she express herself anymore? What was she waiting for? He was right there in front of her, the man who could give her what she wanted. She just had to open her mouth and speak, tell him clearly what she wanted.

“Miss Barnes…”

“Sir, I apologize for interrupting you like this, but there is a very important subject that I would like to discuss with you...”

Natacha felt even more stressed than before, especially since she had just cut off the person who was literally paying her salary. She knew from then on that she could no longer turn back.

“Sir, I have been at your service for more than three years. I have always given my 100% to all the tasks you have entrusted to me, even sacrificing some of my weekends when necessary. I have always shown exemplary behavior and have never had any delay in submitting my reports. However, my colleague, Tess Harlock, who has only been with you for two years, has already received numerous promotions. With all due respect, sir, can you tell me what she has that I don't? Why did you give her all these promotions when I spent much more time working for you? Shouldn't I also have one for all these years of loyal service?”

Natacha's heart was beating even faster than before. She had just unpacked everything that was on her heart to this man who was now looking at her with a very serious look. Knowing roughly the personality of the person standing in front of her, the young woman knew that she had a chance of losing her job in the minutes, or even seconds, that followed. Unfortunately, it was already too late to go back and all she could hope for now was that her boss would react positively.

As the seconds grew more and more unbearable, Herman Invictus suddenly began to smile. He then told her that he saw exactly where she was coming from and that he perfectly understood her feelings. At that moment, Natacha became less nervous, thinking that she was on the way to obtaining what she wanted.

“However, a promotion comes with whole new responsibilities or should I say a bigger workload. You must then show me that your shoulders are strong enough to support them…”

“I can do it, Mr. Invictus!” Natacha suddenly exclaimed, interrupting her boss once again.

“Let's not rush, Miss Barnes. In order to prove your worth to me, you will have to pass a series of tests. Only after completing it will I decide whether or not you deserve a promotion and all that goes with it.”

Natacha's heart was beating with excitement this time. Not only would she not lose her job, but she now had the opportunity to prove to her boss what she was truly worth; but above all she had the opportunity to prove to her boss that she was much better than Tess. With all of this going on, Barnes was also eager to get home and tell Michael the news. She said to herself that he would probably jump for joy too when he heard this. Knowing him, he would undoubtedly make her one of those dishes to which he alone had the secret. But first of all, there was this famous series of tests to pass.

“What kind of tests are these, sir?” she questioned.

“Everything in its time, Miss Barnes. First of all, tell me, do you have anyone in your life?”

Natacha was lost. She absolutely didn't understand why her boss was asking her this. Her marital status had nothing to do with her intellectual skills and dedication to her work. She nevertheless answered him and told him that she was not married, but engaged and that they were both planning to get married in a few months.

“I see. Leave him.”

The young woman was stunned when she heard Herman's request. At first she thought it was a mistake and that perhaps she had misunderstood what he had just said to her. This was why she politely asked him to reiterate his words.

“Miss Barnes, as I told you so well, the promotion you want to obtain comes with a whole lot of new responsibilities accompanied of course by new tasks that you will have to accomplish. We are talking here about tasks that will require your total devotion both physically and emotionally. As a result, your relationship with this man or woman appears to be an obstacle to this.”

Barnes couldn't believe her ears. What her employer had just asked of her was simply unimaginable to her. It was out of the question for Natacha to sacrifice her relationship with Michael for a simple promotion. And even though it came with a significant increase in her salary, it was still the man she loved and was preparing to marry. There was no way that advancement in her career would bring her the same joy of life and sense of well-being that she felt while being at his side. It wasn't worth it. From then on, the only thing left for her to do was simply to abandon this idea of promotion. Come to think of it, her current position was more than suitable for her.

As she was about to tell him that she refused to participate in this series of tests, Invictus suddenly started laughing.

“No need to display such an expression, Miss Barnes. This was just a little prank on my part, please forgive me. I will never ask you to end your relationship with your fiancé, especially since your hesitation makes me understand that you love that person very much.”

Natacha was relieved to learn this, but she was also intrigued because she had no idea that a person as serious as her boss could indulge in this kind of thing, especially in such a situation.

“For a brief moment, sir, you scared me.”

“There was indeed reasons to be afraid. Your employer suddenly asked you to end your romantic relationship just to get a promotion, anyone in that situation would probably react like you. But as I just told you, I will never force you to end your relationship unless of course within a very specific framework. However, this does not mean that I will not ask you to complete certain specific tasks for me.”

Natacha was confused again. What did he mean by “specific framework”? And why did she suddenly have a really bad feeling about all this?

“Sir, what kind of tasks are we talking about exactly?”

At this precise moment, Barnes' boss began to display a slight smirk, which did not bode well for the young woman.

“From time to time, I will have certain desires to satisfy. Therefore, I am counting on you to help me with them, if you see where I am going with this.”

You didn't have to be a graduate of a major university to understand where this man was coming from. However, for Natacha, it was out of the question that she would engage in this type of inappropriate and immoral activity, which she obviously let him know.

“Sir, with all due respect, I am not the type of woman who sells her body to climb the ladder. Besides, your request is disgusting. I never would have thought that possible coming from you. You are a pig.”

Barnes said no more and immediately headed out. She couldn't believe that her boss, one of the people she admired the most, was that kind of person. With what she had just discovered, it was clear to her that this place, this company was no longer made for her. However, just as the young woman was about to grab the door handle, Invictus spoke to her again.

“Are you really ready to face the consequences that will befall you when you walk out through that door, Miss Barnes?”

The young woman stopped abruptly and turned towards Herman Invictus who continued to talk to her.

“I wonder how everyone close to you would react if they lost everything overnight.”

“You wouldn't dare go that far?”

“Miss Barnes, you know full well that there is no sector of activity that escapes my influence. I can easily make them lose their jobs and make sure they never get one again. I can put them on the street without them understanding how and why. Hence, it's up to you. You can either walk out that door and say goodbye to your job and that of everyone around you, say goodbye to your quiet little life, or you can come back and sit down so we can discuss the terms of your promotion. The decision is yours.”

Natacha felt trapped. And for good reason, the man in front of her had not only threatened her, but had also threatened to attack everyone she cared about. She had worked for Herman Invictus for many years, so she knew how long his arm was. His words were therefore not to be taken lightly. She also knew that no matter what choice she made, it would have disastrous consequences for her. From then on, she decided, reluctantly, to go back and take a seat in front of her boss.

“You made the right decision, Miss Barnes.”

“What exactly should I do?”

The man then asked Natacha to come a little closer before slowly directing his gaze towards his crotch. The young woman immediately understood where he was coming from and did her best to hide the disgust she felt at that precise moment.

“We'll start with something simple. I suppose this is not the first time you have indulged in this type of practice. You must have gained some experience with your fiancé.”

Faced with such inappropriate remarks, Barnes remained silent and simply clenched her fist very tightly, almost injuring herself with her own nails. After several seconds of hesitation, Natacha, who was standing next to Herman, ended up kneeling in front of him. She then placed her hands on his crotch and slowly opened his zipper. Meanwhile, all kinds of thoughts were running through her head. She wondered in particular why she found herself in this situation. Why did she have to commit such a disgusting act? For what? The answer was simple, it was because if she didn't, the people who mattered most to her would suffer.

Natacha ended up taking Herman's penis out of his pants. And while she delicately caressed it to make it a little firmer, her eyes became more and more moist, especially as the man in front of her kept smiling. No longer able to hold back, Barnes finally began to cry as her boss's penis became stiff enough to proceed to the next step. The young woman timidly approached her lips to the head before introducing this foreign and disgusting body into her mouth. At the same time, Invictus took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

While Herman enjoyed what his secretary had to offer him, the latter held back her urge to vomit. She couldn't believe that the penis of a man other than Michael was in her mouth. Natacha hated her boss, she hated him for what he forced her to do, but also because of what he had said to her. The young woman unfortunately had no other choice but to satisfy him and therefore continued to suck him with a lot of bitterness and disgust in her heart.

“Yes that's it ! Keep it up, Miss Barnes.”

Invictus suddenly placed his hand on his secretary's head and helped her in this new task of hers. His cock then sank a little deeper into her mouth, reaching the entrance to her throat. Reflexively, Barnes tried to pull it back, seeing that it was going too far. However, Herman stopped her, telling her that she could do better than that. Natacha therefore found herself deepthroating against her will, which was a very traumatic experience for her in addition to accentuating her desire to vomit and the hatred she felt towards her employer, Herman Invictus.

The young woman tried not to think about the act she was committing, but the task was proving to be very difficult. It was indeed very complicated to ignore such a foreign body, especially since it was in her mouth, against her will. Finally, after several minutes of ordeal, Herman finally let out a slight moan and came. Natacha then felt the horrible viscous whitish liquid spread inside her mouth before heading towards the back of her throat. She wanted to remove her boss' penis before it was too late, but he held her head firmly in place, forcing her to swallow.

“It’s almost over,” he retorted.

Finally, after a while, Herman allowed Natacha to move freely, which finally gave the young woman the opportunity to remove his penis from her mouth. And while she coughed, the man grabbed one of the disposable tissues from his desk.

“You see, Miss Barnes, it wasn't that bad,” he said to her, handing her the object.

Barnes, whose face was livid at that precise moment, did not grab the handkerchief handed to her and remained silent in the face of what had just happened. Not only had she performed oral sex on another man, but she was also forced to swallow his sperm.

“Anyway, starting today, you will satisfy my every desire over a period that only I will determine. No resistance will obviously be tolerated and our agreement must absolutely not be leaked. If that were to happen, well, it would be better for you if it didn't. With that, I hope you have a pleasant evening, Miss Barnes.”

Herman suddenly stood up from his seat and tucked his cock back into his pants before zipping up. He then grabbed his cell phone from his jacket pocket and dialed a number.

“Michel, prepare a new plate for the session,” he said before hanging up.

The man took one last look at his secretary who was still sitting on the floor, gave a smirk, then finally headed towards the exit, leaving Natacha Barnes alone in his office.

To be continued.
