A smile

"Possible." Steve agreed, managing to take his eyes off the woman's naked bosom and give her a warm smile. "But you do realise that you've mostly got yourself to blame for your current situation?"

Julie just sneers at this comment and adverts her eyes from his while folding her arms over her breasts in a defensive manner.

Trying not to show how her bitchy attitude and the covering of her tits annoys him, Steve just keep smiling calmly while leaning forward in his chair.

"So... Eight months, huh? I'm sure that it'll be quite an interesting time, for both of us..."

She glares back at him for a moment, then once again turn away with a scowl on her pretty face. "Just tell me what the fuck you want from me."

"First off..." He starts thoughtfully, again looking her over. "I want you to keep working for me, here in the shop."

This actually seem to have a little more effect on her, and she turns back to him with a surprised and suspicious look on her face.

"We're still in need of an extra hand after all, and by now I doubt you'll try to steal any more from us. Isn't that right?"

She still doesn't answer, and he quickly moves on while the smile on his face grows even bigger. "Heck, I can even let you keep that one grand, just as an extra bonus for giving me an opportunity like this!"

Her glare darkens even more, and he watches her in silence for a few moments while she visibly trembles in anger and humiliation.

"Hmm... You're quite pretty when you're angry, Julie..." He finally says, still grinning at her. "But I really like it better when you smile, so could you do that for me, Julie?"

"What?" She almost spits at him, then jumps a little as he grabs the notepad and throws it down at her end of the desk.

"Anything?" He asks her, spelling the word slowly while pointing to it with his finger. "Anything I want, for eight months? The least you could do is putting up a nice smile for me!"

She grimaces badly, but then manage to give him a wry smile that doesn't reach her dark eyes. Several tries later she even manage to lift her eyebrows a little and drop most of her angry scowl.

"Better." He eventually tells her, inspecting her critically. "But you'll definitely need to practise it. From now on I want you to be a real little sunshine around me, okay?"

She makes a sound that is almost a growl, making her faked smile look even more menacing, but Steve just nods and smiles back while thinking of his next move...
