Make a list and make some plans

You spend ten minutes writing up a list of things you suspect might be useful over the next few days. When you're done, you leave your office. Meghan is sitting at her desk, looking at a document on her monitor. She looks up at you, expectant and fearful.

"As I said, I'll be out for about an hour. Don't forget our meeting."

"I won't Mr. Chandler," she says quietly, staring at you.

You take the elevator to the lobby and stroll a few blocks to a sex and fetish shop. There you spend time selecting a variety of items. Checking out, the bill comes to just over two hundred dollars. Satisfied with your purchases, you buy an Americano at a nearby coffee shop and sit at a table admiring the women who pass by, thinking of the ways you can discipline Meghan. When you're done you stroll back to the office.

You walk by Meghan's desk and nod to her as she gives you a spritely hello, only slightly dampened by apprehension. Obviously she has regained some of her confidence.
