Yes of course! Much to Rachel's embarrassment!

Rachel Freeman had zoned out, completely embarrassed by her previous actions and sat numbly hardly even listening or paying attention as Mr. Masterson continued his short explanation. Her thoughts were focused entirely on how she was going to manage her work life now that corporal punishment....spankings... even including public punishments, were going to be introduced.

Amidst her thoughts what bothered her the most was why! Why had she been chosen as a volun-told participant in the new punishment pilot program! She did her job and did it well, she just as she had been told, and her appraisals proved it, she was a top performing employee! So why did she get picked for a punishment program!

It was all entirely confusing, frustrating, humiliating, and unfair!

"Excuse me! Ms. Freeman, are you paying attention?" Mr. Delaco's voice sternly cut into her private thoughts, and she looked up suddenly, focusing on him with a confused look.

"What? No...I didn't." was her response, an incorrect answer to his question, which unfortunately for her, was Mr. Delaco's last patience.

"Rachel!" Mr. Delaco started off, firmly and purposefully using her first name, "I will not tolerate your disrespect any further! We take the development of our discipline initiative very seriously! As the most senior member of Trifecta here I will not allow such unproffesional behavior to put our company in a bad light. Mr. Masterson asked if you had ever been spanked before as part of the Female Discipline Initiative that Congress recently passed, but your answer no longer matters" Mr. Delaco firmly announced, ignoring Rachel's vocal protest, before turning to Mr. Masterson, "I know you have other meetings to attend to today, but Rachel's behavior here is unacceptable. I apologize on the behalf of Trifecta Solutions and wish if at all possible to request a demonstration of your punishment methods to aid us in the correction of Rachel's unprofessional behavior."

Rachel froze! Her mouth slightly agape in shock, a suddenly fearful expression on her face as her boss's boss asked Mr. Masterson if he would be able to give a live demonstration of their punishment methods to....her!

"Wait!! Please....we don't have to -"Rachel started but was interrupted by Mr. Masterson, who spoke up clear and firmly. "Of course Mr. Delaco. Although the situation is not ideal, we understand the need young ladies have for stern and strict discipline. Ms. Freeman, please join us at the front of the room.
