It sounded like it

"Look, Matt," Ms. Chadra said when he returned from the phone call, "I think I might have over-reacted."

"Sure, want to tell me about it?"

"Of course. You deserve that, at least. As you may have guessed, I'm not originally from the U.S. I moved here in my teens when my parents arranged my marriage to an Indian-American engineer."

Wow, arranged marriages in the twenty-first century. That didn't seem possible."

"Although my husband was the senior engineer on every project he worked, he was always put in a subordinate position because of his ethnicity."

"Yeah, I can see how they might think they could charge more if the lead was some anglo type."

"Exactly. And when he died, I was left with a young daughter and no money. So, I was **** to support myself and my daughter while I worked my way through college to get my teaching diploma."

"That must have been rough on you."

"It was, of course. But what made it worse was the prejudice I faced. Girls didn't want to be my friend because I was foreign. Guys thought I'd be easy because I was foreign and had brown skin."

Matt suspected her enormous tits had something to do with it but he didn't think this was the time to mention that likelyhood.

"That background made me sensitive to Dr. Dyle's uncouth remarks."

"I can only imagine. It makes what I face pretty small stuff."

"It's not small stuff." She ran a finger down his cheek. "It's a big deal. But one of the things I did when I was single and... I don't know if I can go on."

"It's okay, Usha," he said. If they were talking about streaming together he might as well get used to being on a first name basis. "I've already guessed you had some experience in the porn world. With your figure and your beauty it would be a miracle if you didn't have agents and producers lining up to hire you."

"My experience in porn was not very pleasant. I... let's just say that there's just as much prejudice and small-mindedness in that industry as in any other. Indian girls tend to be the maid brought into threesomes, the lucky girl who gets bukkake from a bunch of Anglo guys, or the virgin tricked into having sex with an older guy. Or **** fantasies, of course. Except they weren't always fantasies."

Matt took her hand in both of his and set it on the table. "I understand. The idea of streaming with me brings up old associations. Obviously I'm not going to **** you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable."

"It's just... I want to get in Dyle's face."

"Tell you what, Usha. Why don't you stay here with me today. Not streaming... obviously. But to see how we do things, to see if we can change the mental associations you have with the sexwork industry into something more... if not positive at least less hateful and more positive. Then, after that, we can talk about whether you really want to go ahead with something like this. Dr. Dyle went on about how this can impact the future of the actors. While I don't think that's true of the girls and guys we're streaming now, it certainly could be for you."

"I like that you use masks. It provides... plausible deniability, is that the term?"

"Exactly. They may know it's us but how can they prove it?"

"In my case, it's fairly implausible. My... figure is fairly unique."

"You have a beautiful figure, Usha. But it's not unique. The Hill is filled with women who've gone under the knife in hopes that they'd get a pair of breasts as beautiful as yours. While I doubt any have, there certainly are some big ones out there."

That was pretty much an exaggeration. With the possible exception of Ophelia, whose tits were as natural as Usha's, he hadn't met any women with knockers that massive. Still, the Hill was covered with enhanced trophy-wives and surely at least some of them had over-inflated to a similar extent.

"Fine," Ms. Chadra said. "I'll stay around and watch your streaming. If your actors don't mind. I'm afraid that several of them are my students."

Just about all of them, at least the girls, were her students. Again, it didn't seem necessary to tell her that.

Tanya bustled in about then, stopped short when she saw Ms. Chadra, then walked over and gave Matt a hug. "You actually persuaded her to stream with us? You are completely awesome."

"Usha isn't completely comfortable streaming but she's going to watch us shoot and think about whether she'll be comfortable doing it in the future."

"You'll love it," Tanya said. "It's so cool and it's sweet when you hear those chings when the horny fappers out there are sending in their tips."

"I can see how that would be." Ms. Chadra and Tanya went into girl mode chatting about what to wear to look sexy on screen, how much money the actors were paid, and other stuff while Matt tried to readjust the schedule for that afternoon's stream.
