The company is carrying way too much on its books. I'll give WalMart as an example. When they sell something it is automatically reordered. Occasional...y stock runs out. You just have to know how long your supplier needs to get product to your door compared to how fast your stock is depleted by sales. You can help with that as it comes in under your department." I know that." Alicia was getting defensive. "When the cash register rings up, there often is a shortage that I can't account for. You. June looked in the mirror and turned to ask me if I liked the dress. “I like the cut of it but not the colour. You want to make a statement when you enter the party.” Was my reply. Black is a safe colour but you should be bold at least for once. You are a beautiful woman who doesn’t know it or hasn’t been told often enough. With that she asked the assistant to bring the dress in red.Turned out that they had none in that colour so the assistant brought a silk dress, low cut at the front and back. She smiled. "I don't like underwear. It slows down the action. I brought an outfit for Taylor if that's okay with you?" Sure. Tell her so. Tell Bethany to strip, too. Do you have an extra collar?" Yes, I brought one. For you, I'll even wear one." That could be strenuous."She responded, "I like strenuous." Go, tell Taylor and Bethany and put your collar on, too."She smiled as she went back in carrying her two items of clothing. Bethany came out a minute later wearing flip-flops and a red collar.. It was like some magical, mystical messenger was offering her the key to unlock the doors of her deepest desires. She was not alone! There were other girls in dire need but feeling trapped inside a fake image of a boring reality. Dreams could come true! Real joy could come alive!The two girls' conversation was all in hushed tones as Lolita, who could no longer hold back, unburdened herself of the secrets she dared not reveal before. Julie nodded in sympathy but was otherwise silent as her young.
