The Management Consultant - Part 2
Submitted on 06/06/04

For the time of year it was a very cold morning with strong winds coming down from the North. The forecast said it would get colder by the week-end. I arrived in the office at 6.45am to face my 'Examination Day' as planned by Susannah Llewellyn, the consultant from Lansdown Consultants Ltd, who was assessing me for my suitability in order to maintain my position with the company. Amanda was already there, as I had expected making final preparations for my tests and exams I would have to complete for her. Amanda looked stunning as well as looking very powerful. Amanda, this morning, was wearing all black. A jacket with a long tight pencil skirt, she chose to wear a tight fitting poll neck jumper. However, I noticed straight away that Amanda was wearing new boots. They looked fantastic on her. They were knee length with pointed toes and had a very thin spiked heel. Her skirt came below her knees, so I could not see the tops of her boots. Amanda was wearing very heavy make-up today, which consisted of thick black eye liner and heavy shades of eye shadow. Her perfume she wore was very strong. "Good morning Ma'am", I said, Amanda replied in a very cold manner, "morning, take the seat at your examination desk for me and I will be with you in a moment". I was feeling very tense and was trembling at my knees. There was no sign of Susannah this morning and it seemed Amanda was in full control of me again. I new she wanted to get on in her job with Lansdown Consultants Ltd, Amanda was two grades lower than Susannah, who was at her highest grade. (post graduates qualify for the highest grade on joining Landown's). Amanda made her way over to me, it seemed that her arriving in the office at 6 am was not a problem for her and that she was going to enjoy every second that today would bring. She pulled over a chair beside my desk, crossed her legs and stroked back her hair. I had a clear vision of her new boots and as I looked up to her, she said, "Yes Colin, do you like my new boots?, I call them my 'Executive Boots', "Now then, down to business" Amanda said, in a stern voice. "Right Colin, Susannah has been delayed by other important business, but will be joining you this afternoon. I'm ready to issue you with your first test, but before I do, it may be a good idea that you have a glass of water before you start for me. I also suggest you try and go at the toilet. Once you start your examinations for me at 7 O'clock, I will not allow you to eat, drink, leave your desk or allow you to go to the toilet until you have completed your morning session for me, which I expect to finish around 1.30pm, do you understand me?", I replied, "Yes Ma'am". I returned from the toilet after trying to go and sat at my examination desk. Amanda was waiting for me, she new my torment was about to begin. Once again I was being put to work by a young consultant who was only 19 years old, who was going to discover my abilities. "OK Colin, are you ready to start your exam day for me?" she said. I replied, "Yes Ma'am. Amanda then started to say, " Your first test that you will perform for me today is an early morning memory test, I will show you a card which has thirty national flags printed on it, each flag is numbered and states the country of origin. I will allow you to view the card for just 5 minutes and you must remember the number of each country and its origin for me. I will then question you and ask you to produce the correct answers for me. Do you understand me?" "Yes Ma'am", I replied. Amanda started her stop watch as she crossed her legs again. "You may begin", she said. The toe of Amanda's left boot was brushing against the bottom of my trousers as she watched me start the exercise. I believe it was her intention to tease me with such a motion and put me under additional stress and to prevent me from doing well in the test. Amanda knew how I felt about her boots and how I adored them from Wednesday. On Wednesday she wore only shabby ankle boots, today she was wearing brand new knee length boots. I knew Amanda was teasing and tormenting me as a demonstration of her complete power and authority she has as a Management Consultant. The memory test finished at 7.30am. I had done extremely badly and Amanda made notes on my performance. Amanda said, " I believe Susannah will make you take this test again, I can tell you now, you have failed your memory test, my concern is that Susannah views the memory test very seriously and expects from her vision of middle management for you to achieve a pass mark of 85%. You should view your failure Colin as a worrying concern. I will have to inform Susannah upon her arrival at lunchtime of your answers you have produced for me in this test".

"OK then Colin, straight on with your next exam for me. I will allow you 5 hours to complete this exam for me, in fact, it is more like a project than an exam, and a subject I would expect you to know about. Amanda rose from her chair to set the video, "Yes Colin, you are to be recorded whilst you complete this project for me" Amanda said. "Susannah, I expect, will want to glance over the video's on her return and certainly by the time she makes her final recommendations on your future with your company. I guess now it will be the middle of next week before Susannah makes her judgement on you, as she has been called away this week". Amanda returned, but this time she stood by my side to read out the project question. I felt like a little schoolboy with the teacher at my side. Amanda stood with her left leg forward, giving me a clear view of her new shiny boot, she paused for a moment to read the question to herself, or had decided to tease me again with her boot as she stroked back her hair. The time was 7.30am and I was about to be put through my second exam of the day. I believe Amanda was enjoying every moment of her control she had over me.

"Ok, are you ready to begin for me" said Amanda, "Yes Ma'am" I replied. Amanda said," Describe to me in not less than sixty thousand words how you would bring peace and stability to Iraq within one month", " You may begin your project". Amanda clicked her timer and moved over to her desk. Once again I had been issued with a difficult task, but Susannah, who had personally set the questions must of thought I would of been able to cope. Amanda had removed her jacket and sat at her desk. I had again been put to work by a 19 year old teenager, Amanda Cooper, Management Consultant, for Lansdown Consultants Ltd. Amanda had put me to work knowing she had little to do until lunch time at least. Amanda's black pole neck jumper fitted her perfectly and made her look very powerful. Amanda Cooper was powerful and she knew she was going places. If she could control and put to task a 52 year old man, then she could control anyone. It was around 9am and in came a very young looking girl, I would imagine she was a recent schooleaver and therefore was only about 16 years old. Her name was Nikki, I heard Amanda say. Nikki wore a smart dark blue trouser suit and a tight cream top, her hair was dark and shoulder length. Nikki was wearing black shoes with a small chunky heel, but the most outstanding feature of her footwear was that they were of the open toe kind. She was so young and yet she had the executive look about. Amanda rose from her chair and spoke to Nikki in the far corner of the office. After a few moments Nikki turned and faced me with her arms folded, she was nodding her head as Amanda whispered to her. Nikki's left open toe shoe was facing towards me. After a few moments, Amanda left the office and for some reason I was left alone with Nikki. I carried on doing my project I had been given on how I would create peace in Iraq. Nikki sat at Amanda's desk and from what I could see, she was checking her e-mails. It soon became clear to me that I was being supervised now by a 16 year old girl. A few moments past and Nikki left her chair and walk towards me, her hands behind her back, I could feel her presence over my left shoulder as she looked down to see me working. Nikki then moved round to my right side and this time her arms were folded. I could clearly detect the aroma of her body scent as she stood close to me. I looked down at her feet and observed her open toe shoes. Nikki was wearing light blue nail polish that looked as if it had only just been applied. Nikki knew I was looking at her feet and started tapping her foot as if to say get on with your work boy. Nikki stood at my right side for what seemed to be a very long time, each breath I inhaled I could detect the aroma of her. I believe she new what her role was and the purpose of it. I again could not resist the temptation to glance down at her feet. I considered them to be royal feet. Nikki noticed I was not paying attention to my work and gave one tap with her left shoe and returned to Amanda's desk. It was over an hour before Amanda returned to the office. As Nikki left I heard her say, "Would you like me to submit a report on his behaviour whilst I was supervising him Amanda". "That would be an excellent idea Nikki, thank you", replied Amanda. Amanda sat back at her desk. I was in need to go to the toilet by now but I knew Amanda had forbid me to leave my desk for any reason. For the first time, I was experiencing severe pain, caused by Amanda Cooper, (Age 19), Management Consultant for Lansdown Consultants Ltd. My project on Iraq eventually came to an end at the planned time at 12.30pm, when to my surprise, Nikki came back into the office holding a video camera in one hand and a black bag in the other. Nikki spoke to Amanda briefly, and then came over to collect my project papers, Nikki wore a smile as she did so and once again I detected the scent and aroma of her presence. Amanda rose from her chair and came over to me with her arms crossed. She said, "Now Colin, we will move straight on to your final test of the morning, I have asked Nikki kindly is she would like to conduct and supervise you whilst you perform this test and Nikki has agreed to this with delight and ambition". Nikki removed her blue jacket and placed it on the back of my chair. Nikki had a figure to die for. The vision of her tight cream, all-in-one body garment and the snug fit of her blue trousers was becoming too much me. Nikki wore a thin black leather belt with a gold buckle. I was about to be put to work by 16 year old schoolgirl, that I had discovered was on 'work experience' for Lansdown Consultants Ltd. Nikki was in 6th Form, and as a result would attend school only when chose to do so. Meanwhile, Nikki was on an extended 'work experience' programme for Lansdown and was making a good impression with the bosses there.

"Come here Colin and stand by your little desk for me", said Nikki. "Now then, I want you to empty the contents of the black bag onto your little desk for me", she said. This I done and out came about 150 small pieces of wooden blocks. They were all different shapes and sizes and where not numbered. Nikki went on to say, "Now pay attention to me. At Lansdown Consultants we normally allow 1.5 hours for our subjects to complete this building block exercise. However, as you are a current member of middle management, I have personally decided to reduced your time that I will allow you to complete this exercise for me down to just 55 minutes. Your task is to place together all the wooden blocks, which when completed, will form six floors of a block of flats. Do you understand your task you are to complete for me?". I replied, "Yes Ma'am". Nikki said, "Good, then we shall begin". Nikki reached for the video camera and her timer. Nikki stated, "I don't have to tell you, but I will be recording your entire exercise on video Colin, not only for Susannah to view, but its an idea of mine to present to my bosses at Lansdown Consultants, that it could be used as a training video for new and up and coming consultants". Amanda stood back in amasement , she was convinced anyway that Nikki will rise to the top very quickly and was sure she would be offered employment by Lansdown, be it in a junior position to start with. Nikki stood on the opposite side of the table. "OK, you will start for me... .... now!" Nikki started her timer, set for 55 minutes and rolled the video camera. I had been put to work by a 16 year old 'work experience' student. I started my exercise for Nikki knowing I had to do well for her, I had to perform for her, I had to achieve for her, I was expected to produce results for her. Amanda looked on thinking how quickly Nikki had achieved control over me and in putting me to work. I was working hard for Nikki and also thinking about the stressful situation the Lansdown Consultants had put me in as part of their review and assessment programme. I had not been allowed to eat or drink since 7am this morning. I had hardly been allowed to speak and have been forbidden to go to the toilet since that time. I believe Amanda is enjoying knowing that I'm in a lot of discomfort and pain with her toilet ban she had imposed on me.

Nikki was mastering the video camera well and was moving slowly around the table recording me completing her exercise I was to do for her. Every so often she would zoom up close beside me to my face to capture my expression of the pressure she has delightfully placed me under. I once again inhaled the scent and aroma of body as she stood by and having a glance of her curvy tight cream body top with tight long sleeves. I had never felt so humiliated. I had no choice. I had been put to work by a 16 year old schoolgirl. A few moments later Nikki turned on the mic of the camera and started to speak... ... ... ...

"Hi, I'm Nikki Taylor working on behalf of Lansdown Consultants Ltd. What you are seeing now is an employee of a company we have been asked to look at. He currently holds the position of middle management and we are assessing his ability to piece together 150 small wooden building blocks. As you can see from this video Ladies & Gentlemen, the employee is under extreme pressure to complete his task within the recommended time Lansdown Consultants give the employee to complete their task, which is currently 55 minutes. In addition to this Ladies & Gentlemen, we here, at Lansdown Consultants strongly believe in applying maximum pressure at all times to the employees of company's we are asked to interview. We again strongly believe that by applying maximum pressure during our consultation periods helps our consultants to make the correct decisions and recommendations concerning the future employment prospects of such individuals. Thank you for listening Ladies & Gentlemen and enjoy the rest of the video".

Nikki continued to video me. Not only had I been made an example of, but I was also to be used in a promotional video. A little while later whilst I was still performing my task for Nikki, I heard someone enter the room. Susannah had returned. Susannah wore a black skirted suit with tan coloured tights, a white fluffy poll neck jumper and pattern leather shoes. Her skirt must of been 4 inches above her knees and her heels were about 4 inches high. Her make-up again was lightly applied and wore very strong perfume. Susannah simply looked stunning. Susannah came over straight away to observe me completing my task for Nikki and stood there for several minutes. Nikki stood back to give Susannah space in her observations. Then Susannah went over and softly spoke to Amanda, again for several minutes. Nikki had continued her filming of me. At that moment the timer gave off its alarm to say my time was up. Nikki said, "OK, stop what you are doing for me". Susannah and Amanda turned and made their way over to view my end result for Nikki. It would be fair to say I had achieved little for Nikki, I had failed her, I had not performed for Nikki, the 16 year old, who was on work experience. Amanda said, "I will now allow you to go to the toilet and you may now have a drink as you have completed your morning session of tests and examinations. Amanda was now finished for the day and was soon to depart, she was looking forward to a long week-end with her boyfriend as she was not back in the business until Tuesday. Nikki gathered her belongings and then went and spoke with Susannah. "Nikki will you compile a full report on Colin, as I will want to use your findings in my final decision on his outcome with his company?" said Susannah, "No problem Susannah, I'll get that to you tomorrow morning and Susannah... ... may I attend his final assessment interview, I believe it will help me loads with my work experience programme", said Nikki. "Yes of course you can Nikki, in fact I was going to ask you to make a contribution anyway", replied Susannah. Nikki left the office. I was now alone with Susannah. "Colin, I understand you have not eaten so far today", said Susannah, "No Ma'am, I replied. "Go to lunch now and you may have extra time, I have suspended your afternoon tests. I require you to appear before me at 3pm this afternoon, now off to lunch" said Susannah.

I returned promptly at 3pm. Susannah had removed her jacket and the full view of her soft fluffy white poll neck jumper became a wonderful sight for me against her long blonde hair. I had missed Susannah in a funny kind of way, as she stroked back her hair, her perfume was intense, but at least today I had sight of her ankles but sadly still not her feet, her feet must of been damp or sweaty in those tight heels she wore and how I longed to kneel before Susannah to kiss her heels and then to remove them. The combination of inhaling her perfume and the aroma of her damp feet would send me to heaven I think. I sat before Susannah, who was looking over some papers for several minutes before she looked up at me. Susannah then started her lecture, "Colin, I will start with you this afternoon by saying that I have taken the decision to suspend your afternoon tests that I had planned for you, the main reason for this is, that based on the information I have received back from Amanda and also the report I received from Nikki for her early morning supervision on you and from my own observations I made on you at lunchtime, trying to play with those little bricks, like a little child, suggests to me that I have to take immediate alternative action. Therefore, on behalf of your company, I have taken the decision today to suspend you from your working duties until further notice. You are to clear your desk of all personal belongings and leave the building. I will, in due course, decide on my final recommendations and compile my final report on you concerning your future with the company to your Board of Directors. I instruct you now to wait at home until you receive a telephone call, which I expect you will receive from me sometime next week. Meanwhile, I want you to go home and think about me and what I have done to you today. I want you to go home and ponder about your future. I want you to go home and think what you will do if I decide to dismiss you. I want you to go home and think how you will manage about finance, I want you to go home and think to yourself, that at the age of 52, will I be able to find another job. I want you to go home and think of the power I have had over you today. I want you to go home and think about the things I've just said to you.

Susannah reached for her telephone and called a number... ... "Hi, its Susannah Llewellyn, can you ask Nikki to pop along to my office please... thanks". Nothing more was said. I digested what Susannah had just told me. I lowered my head to my knees. In came Nikki without her jacket, yet again I detected the sweet aroma of her body as she stood close to me. "Hi Susannah, you wanted to see me?" said Nikki, "Yes Nikki, thank you for coming along. Nikki, today I have suspended Colin from his working duties and I would like you to supervise him clearing his desk and then escort him from the building please. "No problem Susannah" replied Nikki. "But I believe Nikki you wanted to do or say something to Colin before he leaves" said Susannah. "Ah... ..yes Susannah... there... was actually". Nikki turned and faced me wearing her tight cream body with long tight sleeves, blue trousers with her thin black belt and her open toe shoes. "Colin, kneel before me, you may kiss the side of my left shoe...rise before me... kneel before me... you may kiss the side of my right shoe...rise before me...kneel before me... you may now kiss the other side of my left shoe...rise before me...kneel before me...you may now kiss the other side of my right shoe... rise before me... kneel before me... you may kiss the heal of may left shoe... rise before me... and now kneel before me...you make kiss the heal of my right shoe... and now rise... and kneel...and rise... and kneel...and rise before for me...and now kneel...you may now kiss my toes through my open shoe on my right foot...and now rise... and now kneel for me...

Very good boy". Nikki pulls up a chair and sits down. "Kneel before me once more foot slave... take my left foot and support it with your left arm... and kiss the ball of my foot... kiss the ball of my foot for me... ball of foot, kiss again... continue kissing... continue...continue...continue kissing the ball of my foot...and stop.

Help me put my shoes back on now for me my foot slave... ... Susannah, thank you for your time, I have now finished with him" said Nikki.

Susannah said "Well done Nikki, well done, I am so impressed with you, so impressed indeed. Colin, I must remind you that today, I have placed you under suspension from work and Nikki will now escort you to clear your desk, then to leave the building. I was too stunned to do or say anything, so I just left to clear my desk whilst being supervised by Nikki. I left the building as Nikki turned to return, without saying good-bye. I was alone. Today, I had been suspended from work by a young management consultant by the name of Susannah Llewellyn, age 23. I was 52. I drove home thinking about my future but also thinking about Susannah at the same time. It had been Susannah's first job as a management consultant and I had been made an example of. Ms Llewellyn has done so well since leaving university. I knew she would not recommend that I stay on in my present position as I had failed most of her tests and examinations. I remember how she saw her vision of middle management and the way she expected them to perform and achieve for her. Susannah had set her expectations high, so high, that I would never reach them and I believe she knew that to be the case. The least I was hoping for in her final recommendations, was demotion, I would be able to accept that, I believe, being transferred to another department and reporting to someone who would almost certainly be younger than me and would be female. However, most of all about Susannah is that I never saw her feet and I must now put this behind me, Susannah is far too professional to remove her shoes in a business place of work, I respected her for this. I spent the long week-end wondering when I would receive the phone call for me to appear before Ms Llewellyn as well as working out my finances for the future. On Tuesday morning the phone rang, my heart started to thump and I started trembling. "Hi Colin, its Amanda, how ur doing?" as if nothing has happened. Amanda must of enjoyed her long week-end break with her boyfriend. I replied, "I fine, thanks". Amanda said, "Now listen, Susannah has set the date and time of your 'Consultation Interview', it is this coming Friday at 9am, would you like to have a representative with you at your hearing?". I asked Amanda if it would be possible to have Nikki as my personal representative. Amanda replied after a short pause... "Yes, that's OK. Susannah has agreed to that, see you on Friday then Colin". I was to appear before Susannah Llewellyn to receive her recommendations she has made, as a management consultant, concerning my future employment with my company.

I arrived early on Friday morning at about 8.30 and waited in reception to be called. I wondered if Susannah would now come down to collect me, like I did for her a week or so ago. As I sat waiting to be seen, I saw Nikki rush in, she looked flush in the face as she dashed for the arriving lift. It was a very hot morning and I was already beginning to feel sticky, well before my appointment time. Today, I have been summonsed to appear before Ms Susannah Llewellyn, age 23, a Management Consultant, from Lansdown Consultants Ltd. Susannah will deliver her final report on my outcome with the company. I sat and waited and then I noticed Nikki coming towards. Nikki, this morning was wearing a very tight black sleeveless poll neck jumper with tight fitting black trousers. Her blue eye shadow had been applied in a heavy tone and wore a stinging perfume. Nikki had decided to wear a pair of black ankle boots which had pointed toes and a thin heel, despite the hot weather.

"Hi Colin", said Nikki. "Thank you for asking me to be your personal representative today at your hearing, I already know what Susannah is going to do to you this morning... I feel so sorry for you, I really do, my heart goes out to you, Susannah has put you through so much, to which, you did not perform or achieve for her". I was then escorted by Nikki to the interview room. I was being led by a 16 year old schoolgirl on 'work experience' for Lansdown Consultants Ltd. Nikki looked stunning in her all black outfit. We sat down in the room opposite a desk and three chairs, Nikki sat next to me and crossed her legs, the toe of her ankle boot was touching the hem line of my trousers. "OK, good boy" she said. A few moments later Susannah, Amanda and another girl entered the room and took their seats. Susannah in the middle, Amanda to her left and the other new girl to her right. Susannah was wearing a black trouser suit with a black V neck top, made from soft wool. I did not see her footwear. Amanda was wearing a dark blue skirted suit with a red halter top. The other girl wore a tight pink body under her dark grey trouser suit, I think she was wearing black ankle boots. Nikki smiled at Susannah, she was glad to be part of the proceedings this morning and she knew her bosses at Lansdown were impressed by her, because she had been asked to represent a middle aged man at his 'consultation hearing'. Susannah looked over her notes for two or three minutes, prolonging my agony further and then Susannah eventually looked up at me with a chilled look on her face. I was appearing before Ms Susannah Llewellyn, a management consultant, who was about to decide my fate, after I had given 33 years of loyal service to my company.

"Colin, I will begin this morning by introducing Sarah Tomlinson'Buckley to you, Sarah is 22, and has just joined Lansdown Consultants as a consultant for company pensions. Sarah is here this morning to observe your hearing and will be taking notes. Sarah, I can tell you, has made a small contribution towards your final outcome", Susannah said. Susannah then started the hearing as Nikki applied pressure with her boot against my leg. "Colin, you are here today as a result of my consultation I was asked to perform on you by your company, you will remember me saying at the start that I had a clear vision of what I expected from a member of middle management like yourself, you will remember me saying what I expected you to achieve for me from your interviews I held with you, you will remember what I expected from you to achieve in my tests and examinations I gave you to complete for me. I said that you will be expected to produce results for me and also for Amanda in order for you to maintain your position with your company. This you did not do. You did not perform for me. You did not achieve for me and you did not come up to my expectations that I was looking for as a Management Consultant for Lansdown Consultants Ltd. As a result, I have come to my decision regarding your future with your company, which has been agreed and signed off by your Board of Directors. Do you have anything to say before I pass down my final decision on you?". "No Ma'am, I have nothing to say". Nikki held my arm tightly to give me support, she looked into my eyes with sorrow, I admired her heavy applied make-up, it made her look dominate in her all black outfit. "Colin, you will now stand to attention before Ms Llewellyn", said Amanda. Nikki said once again, softly, " I'm so sorry for you Colin, I'm so sorry". Susannah then delivered her verdict. "Colin David Anderson, it is with regret, that following my consultation I was instructed to carry out on you on behalf of Lansdown Consultants Ltd, you are dismissed from your company forthwith, in addition to your dismissal, I have instructed that your company pension entitlement is to be cut by 75% upon your retirement or sooner. Today I have dismissed you. You have been dismissed, therefore you will not be entitled to any redundancy payment or package. Lansdown Consultants Ltd, will write to you in due course confirming the action I have taken with you this morning. This hearing is now closed. Susannah, Amanda and Sarah left the room. Both Susannah and Amanda had been wearing black ankle boots. I was alone with Nikki, she held my hand and then embraced me. I was able to inhale her stinging perfume against her tight black poll neck jumper. She held me for several minutes. "I feel for you Colin and I'm so sad for you, the last week or so must have been hell for you and I know I treated you harshly also, but it was my job to do so and I enjoyed putting you under pressure, it excited me, and I wanted to impress Amanda so she would pass on a good report about me to Susannah". Nikki let go of me and said "But now life has to go on Colin and you know what that means for you don't you? I looked down at Nikki's boots, "Yes Colin, you are looking in the right direction, you are looking at my boots, you are looking at my feet Colin, you are learning well my little foot slave, life for foot slaves must continue regardless of other events that have happened in their life today". Nikki stood back with her hands behind her back and had a smirk on her face. I had the curvy view of her body, her tight black jumper, her tight black trousers and black ankle boots. Again, her deep blue make-up made her look stunning. "Now I think for today I will just tease you a little". said Nikki. "Kneel before me and when I say so, you may give one peck and only one peck on the toe of my left boot for me...Do you understand me my little foot slave?", yes Ma'am, I replied. "Good boy, good boy", said Nikki. "You may now proceed and give that one peck on my left boot for me now... enough, rise before me, I have an appointment to go to", Nikki said. I was escorted from the building by the head of security, my world was now empty, it has been removed and taken away. For today, I had been dismissed from my company and made unemployed by Susannah Llewellyn, age 23, a management consultant for Lansdown Consultants, Ltd.
