Acceptable Behaviour?

Nicola sat in place, unable to do anything other than wait to find out which long forgotten wish was about to be twisted against her by her so-called Fairy Godmother. By her reckoning, this upcoming one would be the fifth she'd had inflicted on her. The first had stripped her naked, and the second **** her out of the privacy of her bedroom to confront her landlord in front of her roommates while fully nude. She was sure there must have been a secret third wish that had caused her to come into work naked, as she couldn't imagine being here like this of her own volition. Sure, the no judgement one was actually pretty cool. Nicola wasn't kidding herself though, Priscilla had undoubtedly only put it in place to ensure nobody would prevent her from parading around naked, which would spoil the fairy's fun.

Nicola had Googled to see if there was a fetish for what she was being put through and it seemed that there was. 'ENF', which stood for 'embarrassed naked female', was a genre of kinky online literature where one poor unfortunate woman was **** to do everything naked while all around her remained clothed. It seemed that Priscilla wanted to put Nicola through that experience in real life. The only thing she could think of that might bring an end to her ongoing nudity situation was to do everything in her power not to show how embarrassed she was by it. If she could do that then maybe Priscilla would get bored and give her a break. It was way easier said than done though.

Nicola was trying to remember anything she might have casually wished for in the past that could come back to haunt her now, but if Priscilla was willing to go all the way back to her childhood to find ways to torment her, there probably wasn't much point in even thinking about it. She would find out soon enough anyway.

"So this is a wish you made when you had just started your career and were struggling to make a name for yourself, with so many pushy, older male colleagues constantly walking all over you. When you were complaining about that to one of your buddies you said 'I wish I could be more ruthless and assertive at work and do whatever it takes to progress' - well, that will now be granted. Oh, and here's a pro tip for you - this wish combines very nicely with the one that prevents you from being judged. Enjoy!"

As soon as Priscilla vanished, Nicola began feeling a familiar sense of injustice that often arose in her regarding the lack of recognition she received for her hard work, combined with a strong concern that, however well qualified she was, she would still be passed over for promotion today. Sure, she may not be judged negatively for her age and gender now, but she still didn't have the head start that came with being drinking buddies with the decision makers like some of her competitors did. She was going to have to pull out all of the stops to be successful here, and she was now prepared to do just that.

One problem that needed fixing was that her interview preparation had been severely disrupted by Priscilla's antics the previous evening. Nicola needed to concentrate on that now, rather than writing her stupid report. She stood up and walked through to Howard's office with a new sense of purpose.

Howard was Nicola's immediate boss and, ironically, the reason she had made the earlier wish about standing up for herself more in the first place, so she figured he only had himself to blame for what was about to happen. Howard had an infuriating habit of delegating work to Nicola that he should have done himself, then taking full credit for it anyway, and she was now ready to turn the tables on him.

"How can I help you, Nicola?" he enquired as he looked up from the non work related email he had been replying to.

"I need to prepare for my interview this afternoon, so I'm not going to write that report for you"

"Oh" Nicola's boss looked a little puzzled, like something about that statement didn't feel quite right to him, but he couldn't think what "So do you mean today or ever?"

Nicola considered the question for a moment, then decided to test the waters of how much her wishes would allow her to get away with.

"I meant today, but now I think about it, let's say never"

"Right" Howard looked confused and a little concerned "That's obviously fine if you don't feel like doing it, the only issue I have is that Dean is going to want to see something from us. I'm wondering how we get around that?"

"You can just do it yourself" Nicola shrugged.

"Yes, okay then. I guess I'll have to"

"Great, oh and just to warn you, I'm going to email Dean and take full credit for your work anyway, since you've done that to me countless times, even after forcing me to stay here late into the evening doing your job for you while you fucked off to the pub"

"Sure, that sounds fair. I guess that makes us even, right?"

"Not quite"

A wicked grin spread across Nicola's otherwise angelic face as the ruthless element of her wish came fully into focus. She spotted a half full cup of still warm coffee on Howard's desk, walked over to pick it up and, slowly and deliberately, poured its contents over her boss's groin.

"Now we're even"

"Fuck! That's still hot!" Howard exclaimed as he jumped up from his seat "And these trousers came from Savile Row!"

"Shit, I'm sorry!" Nicola was suddenly worried that she may have pushed her luck too far.

"There's no need for you to apologise, Nicola, that was hardly your fault" her boss reassured her as he glumly inspected his drenched and stained clothing "I shouldn't have left it sitting there like that. It was an accident waiting to happen"

"Okay, well I'll leave you to clear your mess up. Don't forget, that report is due by close of play!"

Nicola had to stop herself from laughing out loud as she stepped back into the open plan. It really did seem like she could get away with anything at the moment. She might have felt guilty about her using her new power to get ahead if she hadn't been taken advantage of by so many of her colleagues for so long, but this felt like well deserved payback. A realisation was quickly hitting her. Nailing her own interview was obviously important, but still might not be enough to get her what she deserved. It couldn't hurt to sabotage some of her more annoying rivals as well.
