Chapter Text
“Oh, and send the next one in after you” Domina called out as she watched another failed applicant scurry out of her office. It was an exhausting process, she’d spent the past few days using her time between unavoidable meetings to interview applicants attempting to become her personal maid and pet.
But so far, none of the applicants seemed to understand what that meant, and even those who did only wished to do so for the chance to climb the ranks of Vishkar. It seemed more and more likely that making such a posting an internal position only weakened the chances she’d find someone actually willing to be a pet and maid without wanting for career advancement. Though it wasn’t one she could post publicly, the existence of such a role would have to stay inside the company… It wasn't a great look to have the vice president looking for a human pet.
“Thanks… thank you so much for seeing me!” A voice muttered, the girl's voice quick, panicked and somewhat excited. If it had been the day before, Domina would have taken the excitement as positive… but every applicant who’d shown such excitement had found excitement at the career advancements rather than the role itself.
Domina didn’t bother speaking, instead gesturing to the chair opposite her. The process had been somewhat streamlined now… applicants had a limited time to impress Domina before being sent away, something which allowed Domina to see a higher volume of applicants in the hope she found someone suited for the role.
“Sit… oh yes, of course” The girl uttered, her voice shaken, the fact she was offered to sit seemed to surprise the girl. Unlike excitement, that sort of reaction was still one Domina found positive. Clearly this applicant was fully aware of what the role would entail… and it didn’t seem as if her excitement was dulled by that fact. “Thank you for taking your time to meet me, miss” The girl continued, knowing to keep her hand at her side rather than presenting it to Domina.
Whoever this was had clearly read prepared for the interview… it seemed as if the girl had expected a far less typical interview than she was undertaking. Something about the girl felt different to Domina, the girl didn’t seem as if she’d fit well into the company proper.
“It’s my pleasure” Domina uttered, relaxing back in her chair as the girl sat with a straight, practiced posture. The formal speech was something Domina hadn’t given out since the first day of interviews. “Now, what’s your name?” Domina asked, her voice calm and measured, the same professional and formal tone she’d always used when speaking inside and for the company. Though it carried a dominant, commanding edge alongside it… something that made it clear this wasn’t just business for Domina.
“I’m Sophia…” The girl muttered, her voice soft and timid. She clearly held far more respect for Domina than most had towards her… The respect Sophia had for Domina wasn’t only from the position Domina held in the corporate ladder. “Could I get you anything miss? Coffee, water?” Sophia asked softly, clearly somewhat unprepared for an actual interview.
The words Sophia spoke, and the tone she’d uttered them with made Domina relax even more. Sophia had managed to impress Domina enough that the dominant vice-president checked the sheet of details she’d prepared for all applicants. She didn’t waste time reading every applicant that came through, only those she found herself intrigued by earned such a privilege.
Sophia’s resume was lacking to say the least. Vishkar was the girl’s first job, and not only was it a janitorial position, it seemed it wasn’t full time either. It was clear Sophia lacked any desire to climb the corporate ladder… the girl had a degree, yet chose to work in such a low position despite meeting the criteria for numerous higher paid positions.
“Why do you want this role, Sophia?” Domina asked, her tone cutting through whatever professionalness Sophia had managed to uphold. Domina didn’t want to hear a practiced speech about serving the company and giving full commitment to Vishkar. No, what Domina wanted to hear was the truth… whatever had led Sophia to applying for the position was clearly different, since Sophia was the only applicant who had little to gain in such a role.
Now Sophia was left with two choices. She could be honest, she could admit that she had always wanted to be a pet and a maid, and that she felt most fulfilled in life when she was serving the needs of a dominant woman… but that was a risk, Sophia didn’t want to come off as too eager, or too weird and ruin her chances at becoming a human pet.
Her other option was to lie, she could give the same speech Domina had heard again and again about giving to the company and whatever other corporate jargon everyone else used. But as Sophia read Domina’s expression, the choice became clear. Domina was giving her a chance to stand out… if Domina had already given her so much time, spewing a corporate answer would only serve to disappoint her.
“I erm… I’ve never really enjoyed the whole erm… corporate life” Sophia started, her voice shaking softly, though she spoke each word clearly. She didn’t want to disappoint Domina… even if she wasn’t to become a pet, Sophia still felt as if she should be a ‘good girl’. “I’ve… always found I’m more fulfilled… when I’m serving the needs of someone like you” Sophia added, her heart beating faster and faster as the perfect posture she’d held became harder and harder to keep up, Sophia deciding against saying exactly what about Domina made her want to serve.
Sophia’s heart was racing, her mind moving too fast to read the changing expression on Domina’s face. She couldn’t tell what Domina was thinking. But she kept her posture straight, even as her body trembled softly.
The answer was far more honest than Domina had expected it to be… and it was by far the best she’d heard. Unlike the other applicants, Sophia had applied for the chance at being a pet, without the chances at rising the corporate ladder influencing her application. Sophia was clearly the perfect candidate to be a pet… but Domina wanted to make sure that Sophia was the perfect pet for her before offering the girl the position permanently.
A minute passed until the silence was broken by Domina, the dominant woman slipping a prepared contract from her desk, the document slid across the table to land in front of Sophia. “This is a temporary contract, for the rest of today, and all of tomorrow, you’ll serve as my pet” Domina uttered clearly, her voice confident and commanding as she placed a pen beside the contract, her head nodding to give permission for Sophia to sign. “If all goes well, you’ll be offered the role permanently” Domina said, smirking at the eagerness she sensed in Sophia.
Before Domina had the chance to look elsewhere, Sophia had signed the contract quicker than she’d been presented with it. Sophia’s desire to be a pet was clearly greater than her carefulness.
“Thank you miss… I promise I’ll meet your needs” Sophia uttered, her speech as fast as her heart as the desperate attempts to maintain her decorum fell from the overwhelming excitement she’d felt at signing the contract.
“Oh, I’ll hold you to that” Domina smirked, her voice lacking the crafted and professional edge it carried before… She was done interviewing, now it was time to test her pet… and Domina wasn’t going to speak to her pet like a person any longer, Sophia deserved no respect, she was property now. “Now, clothes off and on all fours…” Domina ordered, standing from her chair as she glimpsed towards Sophia, watching as the girl eagerly undressed, Domina heading towards a nearby cabinet as her pet fulfilled her order…
