Staying Obedience

I let out a soft, happy sound, and she smirks up at me, holding my leash in her hands as she gets up from her desk, quickly taking the lead. ' Still the best path forward, plus I'm still enjoying it, ' or so my mind figure things, even as I hope to get back to my new hometown. Not knowing how to best get back there outside of her connection to Jesse, my one-time date, I find it easier to remain as is for the moment... besides, none of them knows me, right?

She gives my leash a playful tug, as she casually parades me through cubicles to her boss's office, "You've done remarkably well behaved thus far... you've well-adapted to your new life. That's good. Keep at it, and we may see to improving your lot." I look up at her, making a soft, happy sound up at her.

"Not clothes, of course...Don't be ridiculous, but not to worry, my pet. I'm sure we can see to something appropriate for a good doggie such as yourself. I find myself nodding, feeling her pat my head softly as we stop before the office door. She pauses, and I find myself sitting before it, without even hearing the command. She gives me a "Such a good doggie, Rover." She pauses and knocks once.

A voice was heard from inside the office, beckoning for her to enter. Zoë pulls it open, letting us in, and I get a sight of her boss. Her dark hair was well-shaped, medium-length, and she was wearing a siomulry colored sun dress, with a low-cut top. She smiles from behind her desk, waving at Zoe, "Yes, come in, please! Tell me about your project.

Zoe hesitates a moment, shooting a glance at me, biting her lip as she approaches her desk. "Well, my project is going quite well, and I'm looking to propose..."

She trails off, her boss holding up a hand as she spots me, "Hold up, who's your friend?" to which Zoe's blush deepens, her change of attitude surprising to me. Zoe smiles at that, hesitating a moment, even as her boss's smile grows larger, a casual friendliness showing her genuine amusement at the situation

Zoe takes a moment before, "Well, see last night my friend met for food, and I kind of ... won her." She pauses again, her boss's surprise and disbelief flashing on her face, eyes widening a bit at it, but remaining quiet, looking down at me once more as Zoe takes a breath. "It was a bet, to which everyone was for, and led to her being here... as my pet. Now, don't worry, she's well-behaved and housebroken, so she won't leave any messes, so..."

Zoe's boss bursts into laughter at that, moves around the desk and pets me on the head, "Well, she does look like a well-behaved pet. Does she have a name? How long are you keeping ... it?:

Zoe's smile grows at that, even if her face sighs her embarrassment, "We can call it Rover. She'll be staying with us for a while, as per our little agreement... insist that, right, Rover?"

With the pair looking at me, I let out a soft bark, and her boss offers to shake hands, and I hold my right hand up, shaping my fingers like a paw, and shake hands with her. I sit down on the floor, finding the more plush carpet here at least more comfortable than the short pile out in the rest of the office.

Her boss turns back to Zoe and asks about the project, to which Zoe's look of relief is palpable. I wait, as they go over it, and once they are done, her boss looks down at me, and amusingly comments, "I look forward to seeing more of you to, Rover." I let out a soft, playful bark, even as I don't know if I share the sentiment. I'm enjoying it, but still.

I pause, feeling a playful tug on my leash, and fall behind Zoe. She leads me back to her cubicle, and I feel her hand running down my back as she smiles down at me. "Well done, my pet. You're fitting in quite well... making it hard to get rid of you... You must love being mine."

I let out a soft sound of agreement, finding myself enjoying it, even if my mind is focusing on getting back to my old life... my new old life. Once we get back to her cubicle, I'm back on guard duty. Which translates into sitting at the entrance, exposing myself to her co-workers, and trying to look my part, though I find it surprisingly enjoyable. The complaints don't hurt.

It's not long before someone comes by to ask how the meeting went. He's wearing a suit, and he lets out a surprised look as she sees me. "Hey, didn't know we could have pets here!" He reaches out, running a hand through my hair, and then down to my shoulders. I let out a soft, happy doggie sound as Zoe looks over, a more casual demeanour showing from her now.

"Oh, my friends recommended I adopt her. Not a usual pet, but everyone seems to like her. Even the boss, so get used to s seeing... well, all of her. She's mine now." I resist the urge to say anything to that, even as I felt my mind race as she spoke, notably the 'mine now '; still not wanting to make a fuss, not when so many are having fun, including myself. Besides, she's likely joking, and ...

"Hey, heading out to the big meet up? Come on, you get to show off your new pet, and besides... Jesse will be there."

Zoe smiles back, a surprisingly gentle expression, "I'm sorry I can't... wait, Jesse?" She paused a moment, looking down before stating, twirling her hair with her free hand, "Well, I suppose I can visit for a few...."

He smiles back, his right hand still petting me, going down my back and side, standing up as he replies, "Thats great! I'll make sure to let them know youll be by. Everones been aranged... so just bring yourself and your doggie." he ways, heading off, shaking his head, a smile pasltering his face.

She looks down at me, "He means well, though a bit too eager to make social events to hang out with, well... always wanting to include me. Can't tell why. Well, back at it." She goes back to work, and I'm soon getting more comments as people pass by, and I notice others staring or commenting.

Time passes, and she lets out a yawn, "Hey, how about lunch? I don't know about human pets who don't wear clothes, but this human could go for something to eat... what do you say, boy?"
