This whole thing started just seven months after i started working.One of my bosses called me into his office. Ranjeet Khurana was one of the executive managers for company and being the son of one of the founder, was a powerful and imposing man too. Everybody knew not to mess with him. He was with one of the internal auditors Arvind Kapoor. They told me that some of the accounts I dealt with for were short some money; 540,000 to be exact. They showed me the paperwork that showed my deposits to be 25,000 short each time I made one. It looked like I took out 25,000 in cash at the time of the deposit. They said that they wanted to give me an opportunity to explain what happened to the money before they went to the corporate office and the security officer. I didn't have any idea about the money, I never took anything, but they had a solid paper trail showing that 540,000 cash was missing each time I made a deposit. I told them I didn't do anything wrong and I didn't know about the missing money. I tried to explain but they wouldn't listen. I ended up breaking down and crying right in front of them. They said that since I had no explanation they had no alternative but to turn the matter over to the authorities. I had to go back to my desk and clean it out. I was terminated and to be escorted off the property at the end of the day. I went back to my desk and cried.
Around 4:00 Ranjeet Sir called and said he wanted to talk about my situation and to come to his office. After a lot of discussion, and a lot of pleading and crying on my part, he said he believed my story and felt sorry for me. He said that he might have a way to fix it but I had to trust him. He offered me a deal. He wouldn't turn the matter over to the authorities and he would personally cover the missing money if I would become his personal assistant. The job had been vacant ever since his previous assistant didn't show up for work. I would have a new job working just for him and I wouldn't be handling any money. He said that I could trust him to help me out of the mess I was in and over time I could pay back what I owed him.
It sounded too good to be true and I was happy to take him up on his offer. Besides, going from a just office girl to an executive manager's personal assistant was an increase in salary and responsibility. I asked him how I was going to pay back the money that I owed, actually didn't owe, and he said to trust him. He would make it all clear after I settled into the job.
He said that he would call the auditor and tell him that he found the missing money in another account, one that he forgot to mention before, and that I was only doing what I was told to do. I would be off the hook with them.
That night I told Manohar about my promotion but I didn't mention anything about any missing money. He was so happy for me that I just couldn't say anything about it. This was my problem and Manohar has always wanted me to work out my own problems before coming to him for help and I didn't want him to think that it was too much from me to work. He said that I was moving up in the corporate world and my future looked good. He was so proud of me.
The next day I moved into my new office. It was a small outer office with a door leading to a small lounge in the back which had a full bathroom, a closet for clothes and a small couch. There was also another door that connected to another lounge at the back of Ranjeet Sir's office. His lounge was arranged the same way but his had a larger couch and a small fully equipped bar.
As the news got around the office that I was Ranjeet Sir's new administrative assistant I got a lot of stares from my female coworkers and smiles from the men. I didn't know what any of it meant and it felt kind of strange.
Later that day Ranjeet Sir called me into his office and I sat next to his desk as he told me about my duties. He explained that I had the usual assistant duties; keep his appointments, greet company clients, type, and file, make his coffee, etc. He also said that I was required to accompany him to company functions and meetings at times other than regular work hours. I may even be required to accompany him on meetings out of town.
Then he told me about how he expected me to dress. He said that I was his personal representative and a representative of the company and I needed to dress the part. I always thought that I dressed nicely but he said he thought that I dressed too conservatively and he wanted something better suited to his assistant. He said that I was to wear mini skirts. I could wear stockings or go bare legged. I wasn't to wear a bra. I had to keep my hair loose and flowing over my shoulders. I could wear panties if I wanted but they were optional.
I sat there in total amazement. When I started to say something he put his hand up and stopped me before I could get a word out. He said I was to change the way I dressed because I was a beautiful woman and he wanted me to display my beauty and not hide it. It would be beneficial to have a beautiful woman present when clients and other managers met with him. He also reminded me about the missing money and said that I had to start dressing the way he wanted starting the next day or he would terminate our agreement. He said that I could trust him and he wouldn't do anything to hurt or embarrass me. He said that he knew what he was doing.
He pushed an envelope over to me and told me to take the afternoon off and go shopping and get some new clothes; something like he described that would show off my beautiful body. He said that if I was worried about what my husband would think then I could keep my new wardrobe at work and change into it first thing in the morning and then back to my regular clothes before going home. But while at work or with him on company functions I had to dress like he wanted.
I took the envelope and went back to my office and thought about it. On one hand he assured me that he wouldn't do anything to hurt or embarrass me but on the other hand I might get a lot of stares and strange remarks from people around the office. I was stuck anyway because of the missing money. The more I thought about it the more I thought that it might be exciting to have people look at me and think I was beautiful. I've always been kind of a plain and maybe I deserved to look and feel sexy for once. But I would draw the line and wear panties.
