"What The Hell Is Going On ?"

At Susie's insistence, her face now looked much more heavily made up than she would normally allow, even for the most extravagant night out. But that was the least of Debbi's worries as she once more emerged naked from the rest room into the main lobby of the hotel. The lobby was now noticeably more crowded, whether naturally or because word had got round about the unusual goings on down there. Debbi suspected the latter from the knowing looks she was attracting, which seemed amused but not that surprised. She looked around desperately for somewhere she could hover unobtrusively but there was nowhere. With a shove from Susie, she gravitated over to where Charles was in discussion.

"Ah, there you are at last" Charles exclaimed. The Chinese delegation stood expectantly off to one side. "Roland here's volunteered to direct the brochure shoot. He's doing a photography course at night school" Charles explained. Roland was evidently the name of the hotel receptionist Debbi had been berating in what now seemed like a lifetime ago. "His shift has finished but he's happy to stay on and help us out" Charles continued. I bet he is, Debbi thought bitterly. It took her a second to register that Charles was holding up a garment. "We'll start with this one like we did upstairs. Slip it on" he instructed. It was the white lace teddy.

Debbi took the garment and began to head back to the rest room. "No, no, just put it on here" Charles stopped her. "We haven't got the time for all that toing and froing, the hotel will need the lobby to get back to normal won't it Roland ?" Roland duly confirmed that it would. Trying to shield herself as best she could between the two young men, Debbi clambered inelegantly into the awkward lingerie. "Here, let me adjust it for you" Charles offered. Debbi slapped his hand away. "I'm fine" she affirmed. Absurd as it might seem, it was something of a relief to once more be wearing something, even if it was only a piece of skimpy lingerie.

"Where do you want me ?" she asked reluctantly. "The foot of the stairway I think" Roland decided. There was an ornate gilded staircase leading up from the lobby to the mezzanine. "But first, can we just get a straightforward full length shot. Both front and rear ?" Charles interrupted. "For the online sales page, buyers will want to see how it looks on a person."

"You can't use me on the online site" Debbi complained. "Thousands access that !" Susie was nearby. "Company efficiency Debbi. We discussed this while you were having a wee. Why go to the expense of hiring a professional model now ?" Debbi fumed. We can have this argument later, she thought. For now, she stood rigidly to attention in a profile pic style pose as Roland photographed her front and rear. Susie was a little concerned about how clearly Debbi's nipples and coin slot were defined but she could discuss with Jeff later if any photoshopping would be required for the public site. Bums were fine, the back view would be no problem, even if most of Debbi's ass cheeks were revealed.

"OK, shall we try something a bit more artistic for the Chinese brochure ?" said Charles. Roland directed Debbi over to the bottom of the staircase. "Stand on the first one or two steps. More casual, not so stiff. And do smile. Throw some shapes. One hand on your head, one on the banister, turn a little sideways." Roland was loving having the scantily clad business woman at his beck and call. Debbi tried to relax into it a little. Short of turning and running and killing her career, there was nothing she could do. And anyway, she had to get her own clothes back. Where could she run wearing nothing but a lace teddy ? She was stuck with this and simply had to get it over and done with.

Trying her best to get into the swing of what she imagined a model would do, Debbi followed Roland's instructions for a few more poses but then her reverie was rudely interrupted by an angry voice from across the lobby. "Debbi, just what the hell is going on here ?" It was her boss Jeff !
