It was the anniversary of the company, of course, she was not so dumb as to not think the chairwoman will be among the attendees.
But she was assured she already booked a flight ticket to Hawaii for what Dominus described as a much-needed vacation.
So it came as a sense of betrayal for her to see the madame as one of the attendees. She just prays she won't be noticed, it has been so long anyway, and she has only seen her in two particular instances.
She felt uncomfortable wearing the dress Dominus bought her, it was too expensive. In fact, he has dressed her from head to toe in garments and accessories fitting for royalty.
She felt like a trying-hard socialite, and the rumors will be more fueled this way. But he looked so frustrated and deprived her of good beautiful sex for a week. This deprivation made her crave him so badly that she just said yes to letting him dress her up for the event.
