Vanessa Groves, manager of a local bank

"Thank you for meeting with us, I'm sure we have a bright future together!" Shaking the man's hand, Vanessa holds a bright smile on her face as he returns the favor. This was great news! She had just secured a deal to finance another local business, and this was exactly the momentum her business needed to keep competitive with the big players. Her future partner leaves the room, and Vanessa is finally able to let out her stress.

"Oh fuck, I'm so glad that's over..." Reaching for her bottle of water Vanessa fans her shirt a little bit to cool herself down. She always had to be calm and collected, and while she put on a strong face for the bank it was strenuous to put up with for long. Especially in a male dominated space, she couldn't afford to look like she wasn't completely in charge save any sign of weakness be used against her.

It also didn't help that she had to put up with the looks she's constantly getting. Vanessa always tries to dress conservatively, but unfortunately genes have been working against her. Back in high school and college she had thought she was lucky, but now that attention on her body is just a constant nuisance. Maybe it was a little nice to be considered attractive, but having to just ignore the glances down at her chest, worrying about people watching her from behind, or just dealing with unwanted attention in general had started to wear on her. No matter how much she tried to dress down, her curves still shined through her blouse and skirt, and dressing down anymore would just look like her clothes didn't fit her.

Oh well, at least she was past the point where bosses taking her seriously or not was an issue. Brushing aside her long brown hair and wiping her face, she takes a long drink of water as her coop Julia steps in.

"So, how'd it go?" The peppy student chirps. Standing in the doorway in her stylish suit, the rising sophomore shares Vanessa's bright attitude to their growing success, even if she doesn't share her headache yet. Sure she's only got a year of accounting under her belt right now, but in no time at all she'll be a wonderful addition to the team so long as she isn't scared away. So far that seems unlikely though, especially since she's still putting this much effort into dressing up for work every day.

While Vanessa tries to downplay her looks, it seems like Julia wants to present the best version of herself possible. Short polished heels, spotless dress pants, and simple but elegant blouse and jacket. Her red hair tied back to keep from her glasses, she looked like she took great attention to keep up her looks. Being younger probably helps with that, Vanessa doesn't like to think of herself as old but knowing there's at least 7 years between them is starting to worry her.

Maybe she can get away with this because of her thinner build though. Without the curves that Vanessa has, she probably doesn't have to worry about lecherous looks quite as much. Being rather beautiful, she definitely does, but Vanessa's always felt that staring at her face is much different than staring at her ass or breasts.

"Oh, it went great! Just taking a breather." God, she really envies Julia's energy. Not wanting to just give her the hell-hole coffee gofer role, Vanessa had Julia doing quite a lot of various work around the bank, and she's always kept up. One of the rare times they've given a coop a raise actually.

"Awesome! Brought you some coffee since I thought you'd need it."

"Oh, you really didn't need to..." Accepting the gift anyways, Vanessa winces at the fact that Julia did in fact, end up being a bit of a coffee gofer. Maybe this was the secret to how energized she seemed, but it felt so stereotypical and beneath her. Still, despite her letting Julia know she didn't need to and wasn't expected to do work like this, the girl insisted and Vanessa stopped arguing.

"So Julia, I was thinking of something if you're up for it."

"Oh, what is it?"

"You've been doing a great job this whole time, and I've been wondering if you would want to sit in on my meetings with partners. We have one coming up tomorrow, and it could be a good learning experience for you."

"Oh, definitely! I could do that, do you want me to have anything prepared? Who is it going to be?" Already on the ball huh.

"It's a business looking to mortgage a second location. Pretty standard stuff, you don't need anything prepared."

"Ok, just let me know when it's going on!" With that my hyper coop bounces away, leaving me to nurse the coffee she delivered a little. It really did seem to help...

Standing up to stretch a little bit, Vanessa walks over to the window to fix her clothes in the reflection. Not much was wrong, but she felt mildly uncomfortable sitting there after her heart was pounding for so long. Standing there in her 2" heels, she barely reaches eye-level of even short men. Her hips flared out well, visible through her knee-length skirt over her black nylons. Her shirt taut against her chest while loose around her stomach. Trying not to feel vain, she knew she was attractive, and even while trying to downplay it it still shone through. Tying back her long brown hair and smoothing our her shirt, Vanessa took a deep breath and sank back into her chair, when she was annoyed by a ping from her phone sitting on the desk.

"I really hope this isn't anything urgent..." Needing the time to herself, she apprehensively picks up the phone, worried she might be needed to put out a fire when she really needed to cool down herself. Thankfully it was just some spam from an App she had. One she didn't remember installing...

Gem Ladies: New levels! Play now to avoid a punishment!

When did she have this installed? Did she install it after drinking last Friday? Clicking on the App, she was caught off guard by what looked like some kind of Bejeweled clone, and an aggressive timer of 60 seconds appearing on the top of the screen. Seeing this, she decides to just go along and try out the game, maybe it'll be a nice way to unwind. Sure enough, the bright explosions and nearly mesmerizing patterns that show up as she mixes and matches the gems does have a nice relaxing vibe to it. Lost in the game for the short round, she's brought back to reality when the timer ends, and a strange chibi figure of a woman shows up on the screen. One that looks a lot like her actually.

Too bad! You lose, you get a punishment! Pick now or suffer all three!

Strange, this woman does look exactly like her. Same brown hair going past her shoulders, same short stature. Even the same kind of skirt and shirt! This was weird. With the knowledge that more than one punishment was probably a bad thing, and the 30 second timer ticking down, Vanessa looks at her options.

Boss Bitch

My Eyes are Up Here

I Hate Mondays

These were, weird. What did these have to do with the game, would she just have to find out from playing. Picking the first one, her questions grow even deeper.

You're the boss! Pick a subordinate to add to the game!

Julia

Emily

Alison

Kathryn

These were all names of people at this company...What's going on with this App, is it scanning her contacts or something? Settling on just adding Julia, Vanessa is impressed to see another chibi show up on the screen, one that again shares an impeccable resemblance to her coop. Before she can ponder the implications, yet another pop up interrupts her.

Choose your first punishment for your subordinate! Failure to choose will give you and them all three!
