Greg looked down at the canister and read the label. It was SUBMISSIVE.
He smiled.
Katie felt like she was losing herself. One moment, she had a powerful impulse to get out of there and away from that creep; then the next, that impulse was gone. Greg was her superior, right? Then why was she trying to leave? Why was she trying to reject his authority? She stood her ground and turned back towards Greg. She smiled at him, wanting him to know that there were no hard feelings. She hoped that he reciprocated. He was her superior and deserved her loyalty and obedience.
Or was that right? He sprayed something at her. Maybe she was feeling like this because of that. She never felt like this towards Greg before, especially not a few minutes ago. She was so confused. She knew Greg deserved her admiration and devotion, but at the same time her memories told her otherwise.
"Katie," Greg said, breaking her out of her thoughts.
She turned and looked directly into his eyes. "Yes, sir?" she asked. Wait, did she ever call him "sir" before? She pushed that thought away. Greg was her superior. It was only appropriate for her to call him "sir".
Greg smiled. He was gonna have fun with this one.
