“Shouldn’t you be working instead of talking?” Asked a cold voice from somewhere close behind Lynn.

“I…” The naked maid started, but didn’t get to finish.

“Silence! Someone helping you with your task is fine, but even then you are required to work instead of watching and talking. I made that clear, didn’t I?”

“Yes, mistress!”

“And why aren’t you working?” The woman – Lynn assumed it was another maid, of obviously higher rank – asked, her voice suspiciously calm and sweet.

“I… I…” The naked maid sounded ****.

“Yes? I’m waiting. And I’m getting impatient.”

“I have no excuse, mistress.”

“That’s what I thought. Lucky for you I’m in a good mood, so I’ll be merciful. First, you’ll start your task from the beginning, and this time you are not allowed to get help from anyone. You also won’t get any extra time. When you are done go find someone to whip your back 100 times. If you didn’t finish within the time limit – your ass will also be whipped 100 times. And last – you are not allowed to wear any clothes for a week. That’s all. Now get to work! And you better not be slacking the next time I come to check on you!”

“Yes, mistress!”

“As for you, Toy, isn’t it time for you to go?” The unknown woman made it clear that this was not a question but an order.

“I was just leaving!” Lynn answered, got up and almost ran away, without looking back.

A few minutes later she finally slowed down to catch her breath. ‘Phew, that was close. I wonder what kind of punishment I would get… I’d rather not know. Well, at least I learned a few things. Now let’s see what else I can find or learn…’ With that thought Lynn resumed her exploration of the mansion.
