We had been transferred in ,Peter and I .Our task was to whip the office into shape ,Rita was beside herself getting back from her
time away .She had promptly fired the head office staff .

I was the office manager for the southern region .Laura ,she seethed get your and Peters ass here ,consider your self working out of head office ,you will be my personal assistant ,Peter will assume the position of chief financial officer ,I want you here for Monday ,you will be staying in the suites at the hotel ,you can arrange to have your stuff brought up when we get this fucking mess straightened out .

I knew Rita of course but not well ,the stories that filtered down where a bit disconcerting ,I had never put much stock in the tales about her
Beating some select people ,the story was she used a wooden paddle .It had to be like in high school where a couple of teachers had paddles
With a fish carved into it They would fill the outline with chalk and whack some poor guy across the ass ,great fun ,I was sure Rita used the
Same sort .Her visits to S&M clubs where probably a bunch a bull started by some pissed of fired employee .

I picked up the phone to call Peter ,I was pretty sure he would think the move would be great ,neither of us had any reason not to go
