Time to review

As they reached the office building, Apsra left Rob’s car feeling flushed. They usually went in together, but not today. She almost dashed to the elevator in the underground parking lot and closed the door. She realized that she felt light-headed, and excited? she wondered.__

The effect of leaving so much of her tits exposed was obvious as soon as she left the elevator. Eyes seemed glued to her cleavage wherever she went. She even caught the eyes of some resident photographers, who asked her which department she was modelling for. Her fellow female interns, however, looked at her with disapproval. Using her sexuality to land a job… what a whore! was probably what they were thinking. Her male counterparts didn’t seem to mind though.

Apsra wondered what her husband would say if he knew she was coming to work like this, showing off her assets for dozens of other men to see. Somehow, that thought made it even more exciting for her. She was doing something she wasn’t supposed to, wearing an attire that would be considered taboo in her society. It made her feel beautiful and desired, and the attention was exhilarating. She hadn’t felt like this since high school.

But what would Karan do if he found out that I am going on a date with another guy?

Later, as she was doing her usual drawings and chores, she was called away by one of the junior designers. She was a tall and lean woman, with a bored disposition, as if someone was making her do something she did not want to. Apsra knew that she worked for Mr. Khan, one of the lead designers, so she did not hesitate to follow her.

“I hope you know about the performance reviews…” the junior designer said as she walked, expecting Apsra to follow.

“Mmhm”

“Well, I have been appointed to take care of yours”

“Umm, okaaay… are we doing it right now?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be a challenge if you have a good fashion sense. And if you don’t? Well, you shouldn’t be here if you don’t!”

The performance review? Now? Her heartbeat suddenly increased. She did not know how it worked, but had heard from Roma that the company only hired a very small percentage of their interns as permanent staff, and the performance review was a major part of the hiring process. She had to pass this. Her future depended on it.

Apsra was ushered into a brightly-lit room with whitewashed walls. On one side of the room there were eight mannequins lined up, both male and female, clothed in basic clothes. On the side opposite to the mannequins, there was a big mirror. There was one more door apart from the entrance.

“This is Mr. Khan’s trial room.” She said with an air of pride. “All you have to do is choose some outfits from the walk-in wardrobe” she pointed towards the other door “-and dress the mannequins. If I like your work, you pass. Clear?”

That didn’t seem so hard. She nodded.

“I’ll be out here if you need me” And with that, she was gone. Apsra looked around the room.

“She’s a pretty one, ain’t she?”

There was a silent commotion of agreement from the dark room. “None of the previous ones hold a candle to her…” came a reply.

Apsra came closer to the mirror and checked herself out. Still rocking the cleavage!, she thought and smirked.

“What a slut! I love her!” someone remarked.

“Can I hear the info one more time, Avi?”

“Absolutely” came a soft reply. The room went silent for a while.

Apsra checked herself out for another moment and then went into the wardrobe.

“Apsra Vajra. She’s 24, married for 3 years to a small business owner. She’s interning to become a designer, so I had to set the room up accordingly. Loves to shop and dance, seems to love to show off as well, as you guys just saw..” There were satisfied chuckles from the room “And my experiment was a success. We can have her primed in just a several short months!”
