A Coffee a Day Keeps the Manager at Bay Pt.4

The following morning Evelyn was anxiously awaiting the arrival of her secretary. She still couldn’t believe she actually craved the smell of her feet, yet here she was. As much as she couldn’t explain it she knew the smell of Kelly’s feet had to be what calmed her. Hell she had even tried smelling her own feet and one of her husbands worn socks yesterday evening. Nothing seemed to help her with her anxious feelings. It was strange that the scent of feet calmed her, but that it was the smell of Kelly’s feet in particular was really strange.
Kelly arrived at the office same time as always. She wondered how her boss would be doing by now. If her latest alteration of Evelyn’s mind worked as it should the woman should be even more anxious than yesterday. Would she fully realise what it was she craved by now? If so Evelyn would probably be happy to see her, happy to finally get a whiff of her feet.
Oh only the thought was already so precious, her bitch of a boss, eagerly awaiting to sniff her feet even if it wasn’t as very obvious just yet and even though Evelyn probably thought that no one but she herself knew, Kelly couldn’t be happier. No way the woman would ever dare give her shit again now that she longed to smell her feet.
As usual Kelly walked to the breakroom first to make herself a coffee. For Evelyn she prepared another cup of spit mixed with water. It might be petty, but she liked it. At least she wouldn’t have ruined one of those expensive vials for nothing if she made use of it this way.
Walking into the office without knocking Kelly was very pleased to see that Evelyn was visibly anxious. Better even was the sight of her face clearing up nearly instantly as she walked into the room. It looked as if she was relieved or something. She was certain now. Evelyn realised that it was the smell of her feet she needed to calm down.
Acting as if she didn’t realise what was happening Kelly just walked up to her boss and put the cup on her desk. “Good morning Evelyn, I brought you a cup of coffee.” She said, following her same routine as Evelyn thanked her and drunk the nasty mixture down while she headed to the sofa, unzipping her boots and putting her tights covered feet up on the table.
From the corner of her eye she could see Evelyn look her way, she was trying to be subtle, but she wasn’t, not at all. She was obviously trying her best to remain as still and unsuspicious as possible while she nervously waited for the scent to waft her way. Kelly had to do her best not to laugh, not to show that she her boss’s behaviour.
For Evelyn time seemed to stand still. It seemed to take ages until the scent of Kelly’s feet finally reached her. When it did she instantly drew in a lung full. The scent nearly made her gag, it seemed like they smelled fouler than yesterday, yet at the same time she could feel all her nerves wash away. After hours of anxiousness she finally calmed down. It felt like heaven yet smelt like hell.
In an instant her face turned beet red realising what she had just done. She hadn’t been especially subtle when sniffing the air, but looking up at Kelly it luckily didn’t seem like she noticed anything. She was just on her phone, sipping her coffee while spreading and crunching her toes, spreading that foul scent even more.
Evelyn couldn’t believe she actually calmed down from that scent. It was godawful yet mere seconds ago when she drew in that scent as deep as she could it had only further confirmed what she already knew. Kelly’s feet had a soothing effect on her no matter how gross they smelled. It was something no one, especially Kelly should never find out. She didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if her secretary knew how much power she held over her.
Kelly had to fight a broad smile harder and harder as she definitely noticed the rather obscene sniff Evelyn had given the surrounding air about 10 seconds after she had started airing out her feet. It was only day three of her latest command, one that was supposed to build up and Evelyn was already being this obscene. Oh she was looking forward to how this would evolve. How much longer until Evelyn would be so obvious that it would be suspicious for her not to notice, how much longer until she could start taking control of her boss more openly?
During the remainder of Kelly’s morning coffee Evelyn carried on sniffing the air a lot more subtle than that first sniff. Her anxiety was gone and so she didn’t feel the need to smell Kelly’s feet that much anymore. Yet at the same time she hoped the scent would linger for a long time as she feared growing anxious again. A feeling that only seemed to get worse each time it rose.
Eventually though the time where Kelly finished her coffee and slid her boots back on arrived. Without any further notice she left the office and went to work at her own desk leaving her boss with very mixed feelings. On the one hand Evelyn was happy to finally get Kelly and her stinking feet out of her office, on the other she already dreaded that stinking scent fading, as much as she hated it she knew she needed it. Hopefully Kelly would break her pattern from these last couple of days and take her mid-morning break.
As the morning carried on there was no sign of Kelly though, the clock ticked past 10:30, the scent of feet in Evelyn’s office had nearly faded completely and her anxious feeling was right back, worse than before even. As anxious as she was starting to feel she couldn’t really do anything about it. All she could do was hope for the best.
The longer Kelly stayed away, the more anxious Evelyn grew to even surpassing how she had been feeling this morning. It was bad enough for her to give the restaurant she had already ordered her meal at a call. It was way too far barely leaving her any of her lunch break, a lunch break Kelly always use to air out her feet. The sooner she could get that smell back the better and so she looked for something to eat nearby.
She settled on a salad bar right next door, it was more basic than the place she went to, but it was close and healthy enough to have to do. As lunch time arrived she quickly headed down to retrieve her salad. She ended up making it back up to her office before Kelly did. God she needed a hit of her secretary’s foot scent and she needed it badly.
Against better judgement in Evelyn took a seat at the table in the couch across from the one Kelly usually sat in. It would make the scent of Kelly’s feet reach her faster or at least so she reasoned. It was a deviation of how she usually had her lunch especially since she was already here this early and thus could arouse suspicion, but she cared about calming her anxious feelings more than she did about caution at the moment.
A few minutes later Kelly barged into the office with her takeaway bag of fast food. Despite knowing what was going on she was surprised to see Evelyn here already. “Evelyn, you here? Is your usual restaurant closed?” She asked genuinely surprised as she went to sit down on the couch opposite to her boss.
“No, I just decided to get my lunch somewhere closer by as I otherwise lose my entire lunch break just fetching my lunch.” Evelyn explained making an acceptable excuse. Inside she was praying Kelly would put her feet up on the table quickly so she could catch a whiff.
“Oh alright, going to that place was always a huge loss of time. I was already wondering how long you would keep going there.” Kelly agreed as if everything was normal and she perfectly accepted that excuse. In the meantime she reached down to take off her boots, exactly like Evelyn was waiting for. Before slipping out of them however she reconsidered and sat back up, much to Evelyn’s horror. She had to try hard not to make the disappointment show.
“I’m sorry, this might not be appropriate. I forgot to put on a fresh pair of tights this morning and I noticed earlier that they smell quite terrible. I wouldn’t want to ruin your meal after all. I guess I can get through lunch without airing out my feet.” Kelly said nearly apologetic, curious to see how Evelyn would react. She could see Evelyn was very anxious, she just wondered if she was anxious enough to convince her to air out her feet anyways.
“Really? I haven’t noticed Kelly, please feel free to air out your feet. It’s honestly no bother at all.” Evelyn said trying to sound as genuine as possible, arousing as little suspicion as possible while convincing Kelly to air out her feet anyways. God she really needed that scent, no matter how nasty it was. After how her feet had already smelled yesterday she couldn’t believe this woman hadn’t put on fresh tights, but she couldn’t complain about that right now. No matter how bad they smelled she needed that scent.
“Are you coming down with a cold or something? Do you have a stuffed nose? Only last week you gave me hell for airing out my feet at my desk. In any case if you don’t mind then neither do I.” Kelly said matter off factly as she slid of her boots and put her feet up on the table. They were only a couple inches removed from Evelyn’s lunch.
In no time at all the strong foot scent reached Evelyn’s nostrils who forced herself to sniff more subtly now that she was face to face with her secretary, so close to the source of that awful smell. It took but a sniff for all of her anxiety to disappear. When it did the horror set in once more. The urgency was gone but she was still stuck eating so close to Kelly’s nasty feet.
It wasn’t like she could go eat at her desk either, from her secretary’s questions she could determine that Kelly was getting somewhat suspicious. So letting it show that the scent of her feet did bother her was out of question. As horrible as it was Evelyn forced herself to eat faced with Kelly and her nasty stinking soles. This close the scent was more than strong enough to make her want to gag, but she couldn’t, not after convincing Kelly to take her shoes off.
This lunch was one of the longest and hardest of Evelyn’s life. On occasion she could feel some of it getting back up. There was nothing to be done about it but suffer through it. As soon as she was done eating though she rushed to her desk and started to work. Having a lot of work was the perfect excuse to get out of her terrible self-inflicted situation. Not that it mattered that much as the scent at her desk was nearly as bad as at the table. How could something this bad be so soothing and important to her? She simply didn’t understand.
At least Kelly didn’t come back on the fact that she had been acting suspicious. She had just mostly ignored her as she ate her own lunch and now that she was back at her desk that just continued. That’s what Evelyn thought at least.
Inside Kelly was smiling big time. Her bosses need for her feet had grown more severe much faster than she had anticipated. Not that Kelly really minded, she loved it. She loved what she had seen so far as she had in fact casually observed Evelyn. Every time she looked even remotely her way she had moved her feet in order to involuntarily drag her attention.
Eventually she finished with lunch as well though and while she had previously lingered a little longer than necessary Kelly now quickly put her boots back on and went to her desk. She didn’t plan to return here anymore today. With how anxious Evelyn was quickly growing she wondered if it would be enough for her boss to find a reason to invite her into her office once more. In any case now that Evelyn fully realised her situation she was certain that excuses just to smell her feet would come sooner or later.
Lunching so close to Kelly’s feet had been horrible for Evelyn. The all overpowering scent of her secretary’s feet was downright nasty killing her appetite and yet as the afternoon dragged on and the smell of Kelly’s feet was slowly starting to disappear Evelyn was already growing anxious. The smell was still there, yet she was starting to grow anxious out of fear of growing uncontrollably anxious and that to a terrifying degree as Kelly had stopped taking afternoon breaks. Somehow someway she had to get another hit or she wouldn’t be able to contain herself until tomorrow morning.
It was mid afternoon when Kelly was caught by her boss by surprise. Sure she had heard the door to Evelyn’s office open, but usually that meant she was just off to get her coffee or something like that. Stopping at her desk wasn’t like her, but this time Kelly had a pretty great feeling about it. “Hey Kelly, it’s about mid-afternoon. I was just on my way to get myself a coffee and I wondered if you wanted one as well, you know to take a break so you can focus better later. I thought I could save you the trip if so.” Evelyn said nervously. She was trying to be as casual as possible.
Kelly on the other hand was having a real hard time remaining serious. Knowing what she knew she saw right through Evelyn’s excuse. Even if she hadn’t known it would have been suspicious. Evelyn was laying it on a little too thick trying to claim a higher productivity for taking a break. Especially since she was usually all about getting Kelly to work as many hours as possible.
Then again this was too good an offer to pass up. She kind of wanted to refuse, just to see how far Evelyn would go to get another smell of her feet. It was tempting, but so was a break, a coffee made by her boss and a reason to smell up her office yet again. They were still in a starting phase, Evelyn’s addiction was still growing and she guessed this move had asked quite a lot of courage from her. Giving into her addiction had to be reward at least for now. She could always make it harder later.
“Well Evelyn that would be lovely, for me a coffee with triple milk and double sugar please.” Kelly said as Evelyn threw her a friendly yet somewhat nervous smile trying her best not to show her relief at Kelly’s agreement.
“Coming right up.” Evelyn casually announced before rushing off to the break room to make herself and most importantly her secretary a coffee. She would have preferred a stiff drink, god knew she could use one. She couldn’t believe she was actually making her secretary a coffee and that just to get a smell of her nasty feet. How could she stoop so low? Why did she crave that awful scent so much?
While Evelyn was out in the breakroom growing very anxious without the scent of Kelly’s feet, waiting for the coffee to run through so she could take it back to Kelly and finally get that hit of her foot scent. Kelly had already moved into her office and put her feet, freed from her boots up to start smelling up the place, ready to give her boss a warm or rather smelly welcome.
Evelyn was rather surprised when she returned and Kelly wasn’t at her desk anymore. Did she go off to the toilet first? In any case she decided to head into her office where she noticed the smell of Kelly’s feet strong in the air before noticing Kelly was there. Involuntarily she once again sniffed the air and relaxed visibly.
Blushing lightly and praying that Kelly hadn’t noticed Evelyn walked over to her secretary. “Here’s your coffee Kelly, triple milk and double sugar like you asked. I hope you like it.” Evelyn said as she took her own coffee to her desk. She wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice, besides by now the scent had spread in her entire office, she had had her first hit so she wasn’t so desperate anymore.
Neither of them said anything about this situation. Kelly just drank her coffee ignoring how she had been persuaded to smell up Evelyn’s office. Evelyn on the other hand was just happy she had agreed. She was even more relieved that Kelly hadn’t noticed the real reason for this gesture. Just like so many breaks before Kelly just finished her coffee, put on her boots and headed out, leaving Evelyn in her smelly office.
After that the day just passed by, Kelly went home, Evelyn did a little more work, slowly growing anxious as the smell started to disappear again. This time there was no possibility to get another hit and she already knew this would only grow worse throughout the evening and night, right up until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow was Thursday and she was already worried for what the weekend would bring.
Chapter 8
Thursday morning Kelly walked into the office with her same big smile as had become a habit lately. Her project of getting back at her boss was going better than she could have wished for. She was so excited for what today would bring, after all she had big plans for today. Today was the day she’d set up a trap for Evelyn and if everything went as planned she would be able to more actively take control of her boss.
The day started off like any other. Kelly made her boss drink another cup of her spit mixed with water while drinking a coffee herself as she aired out her feet. Her feet which smelled somewhat more bearable today. She was still wearing yesterday’s tights and they really reeked, but she had put a pair of black ankle socks over them, clean socks which for now absorbed and contained the worst of the smell.
Just like yesterday afternoon Evelyn offered to make Kelly another coffee mid-morning as most of the smell had disappeared. At lunch Evelyn made a point of going back to that nearby restaurant so she could be back to smell Kelly’s feet as early as possible.
When mid-afternoon arrived Kelly was very pleased to find Evelyn at her desk once more offering her a coffee. Today her boss had been the driving force behind keeping her office smelling of feet all day long. A smell that had grown to the point of yesterday as the fresh socks had truly absorbed the smell of the multiple day worn tights by now. Evelyn seemed to grow more and more used to getting Kelly to come smell up her office making Kelly wonder how far she could push it, how hard a time could she give her boss?
Today was not the day to find out however. Just like yesterday she eagerly accepted and headed into Evelyn’s office while her boss was off making her coffee. Along with her boots she also took off her socks this time, leaving them next to her feet on the coffee table. It wasn’t really something Evelyn noticed as she handed her secretary her coffee and the break passed like the ones before.
The socks did catch her eye however after Kelly had left her office and ‘forgotten’ them. Just the sight of them made Evelyn nervous. She wanted to take them so badly, to have the smell of her secretary’s feet whenever she needed it, but she couldn’t, surely Kelly would realise, surely she would soon be back for her socks. It was hard getting any work done with those socks laying there up for grabs.
As badly as she wanted to take those worn smelly socks Evelyn simply couldn’t bring herself to take them, afraid that Kelly would come for them any moment now. It was a dilemma that kept plaguing her the entire afternoon until she finally decided to call it a day. The socks had kept her office smelly which had been a pain and a blessing in one. It took a huge amount of willpower, but eventually Evelyn forced herself to walk out of the office without those socks.
She had only just made it out of the door of her office when she was already regretting her decision. Anxiety was already starting to set in and it only seemed to get worse and worse each night. As much as she wished it was otherwise she knew she had a difficult night and evening ahead of her.
Seeing how empty the hall was, everyone including Kelly gone already the temptation grew even stronger. Apparently Kelly hadn’t missed her socks so what were the chances she would ever miss them? Then her eye caught a member of the cleaning staff still far away in the hallway. If she didn’t take the socks the cleaning lady certainly would. They would probably just end up in the trash. Either way Kelly’s socks would be gone tomorrow.
If she would miss her socks after all and would ask about them Evelyn could always tell her she hadn’t noticed and that the cleaning staff must have taken them to the trash. It was a perfect excuse, so perfect that the temptation grew too strong.
In a hurry Evelyn rushed back in her office, headed straight for the socks which she nearly instantly moved up to her face for a sniff to ease her anxiety. The stench up so close hit her like a ton of bricks. Without Kelly around Evelyn didn’t supress her gag. God they were so nasty, but they did ease her nerves. Wasting no more time she jammed the socks in her purse. God she would regret this she would probably never get that scent out of her purse, but at least she had her prize. These socks were bound to get her through what would have otherwise been a dreadful evening and night.
With the socks in her purse Evelyn head home in a rush, a light blush spread across her face. She couldn’t believe she was actually doing this, taking her secretary’s dirty socks home yet here she was. One thing was for sure, no one could ever find out about this or she wouldn’t know how she could ever face anyone ever again.
At home Evelyn put the socks into a plastic bag, just to be sure none of their awful scent would escape and get her husband suspicious. Their scent was certainly strong and nasty enough to get anyone suspicious and looking for the source of the stink. All throughout her evening Evelyn took every moment alone to take a whiff of Kelly’s nasty worn socks. It grossed her out, but she simply couldn’t help herself, her disgust wasn’t big enough to win over the horrid anxiety these socks luckily helped keep at bay.
Back at her place Kelly was wondering what had happened at the office. Did Evelyn walk into the trap she had put for her. With how eager for the smell of her feet her boss was she was pretty certain it was an opportunity she couldn’t possibly resist, there was always the possibility that the shame and fear of getting caught would win over her need, but at this point she doubted that. Whatever had happened Kelly wouldn’t know for sure, her trap was simply primed, but there was no way she could tell for sure what her boss had done. Not yet at least.
Kelly counted on it that after the weekend these socks would have mostly lost their smell and that this constant giving in to her addiction at all possible times would have her boss desperate enough to be reckless. Reckless enough for her to catch Evelyn and make her submit. At least that was the plan. Now the most difficult part of that plan started. The long wait till after the weekend.
The following morning Kelly got into work wearing a fresh pair of black opaque tights. Going through her new morning ritual she ended up in her bosses office once more for her morning coffee. It was time for the next phase of the plan, making Evelyn aware that she was aware her socks had disappeared. If it was in fact Evelyn who had taken them she counted on it that it would make the woman sweat big time.
“Strange, I could have sworn that I forgot to put my socks back on yesterday afternoon. Have you seen them Evelyn? I swear I left them right here somewhere.” Kelly said as she pointed at the coffee table before casually sitting down and putting her feet up.
“Your socks? No, I have no idea I didn’t notice them at least. When I was on the out yesterday the cleaning staff was busy at the far end of the hallway, maybe they worked their way down and cleaned them up?” Evelyn said, a slight nervous tremor in her voice as she gulped down the nasty cup of spit Kelly had served her. She tried acting as casual as possible after all she did have the perfect explanation for the disappearance.
Acting casual herself Kelly shrugged her shoulders. “I guess you’re right. Well no biggy stupid of me to forget about them.” She said without bothering to bring it up any further. She wanted Evelyn to feel safe with what she had done. She wanted her to feel that she could get away with it so hopefully she would get bolder. At least now she was pretty certain that it was in fact her boss who had taken those socks. She didn’t act like she had noticed her nerves but she had.
During the day the fact that Evelyn had her socks became even more obvious to Kelly, not because something she did, but rather something she didn’t do. The requests for Kelly to come spend coffee breaks in her office had stopped meaning Evelyn must have a source of her foot smell at hand. At least that was way more plausible than the commands having stopped working after what she had seen so far.
She had to admit, it was a bold move from her boss to bring those socks back to work. Evelyn had doubted about bringing them for a long time, but she felt nervous about leaving them unattended. If her husband who was always home earlier than she was would find them all hell would break loose. She simply couldn’t explain this. Keeping them close was her best bet. It also had the advantage that she could occasionally sooth her nerves with a sniff that way she didn’t have to bother Kelly as much and take away potential suspicions.
Nevertheless every secretive whiff of those socks she took spiked her nerves big time. She did it hidden behind her desk so she could quickly hide them, but even then she was terrified of being found out. Luckily Kelly didn’t decide she needed breaks all of a sudden. Lunch was in fact the last time she saw her secretary before the weekend started. Something that was only made possible thanks to those nasty smelly socks.
They had helped her get through her Friday without needing Kelly and they did help her through her Friday evening just like they had the day before. Saturday in between her normal weekend routine Evelyn constantly took whiffs of those same smelly socks, whenever she could do so sneakily. It only fuelled her addiction to them, making her crave those whiff with increasing frequency.
By Saturday evening thanks to the awfully frequent sniffing the smell in Kelly’s worn socks slowly started to fade. It was a problem that only got worse over the weekend. Sunday afternoon they didn’t even smell strong enough anymore to fully relieve her anxiety and as a result she was starting to get quite snappy towards her husband who blamed it on all the extra hours his wife needed to put in. Would this get even worse as she continued making career like she planned to?
Evelyn’s nerves spiked hard on Sunday right before she went to bed. By this time she really needed to mash the socks right against her nose and even then the smell wasn’t enough to calm her anymore. She never thought she would think this, but damn she was looking forward to Monday, especially the time when Kelly would walk into the office and air out her feet, as disturbing as that thought was.
Meanwhile Kelly had a restless weekend herself. She continued wearing those same tights she had worn all Friday throughout the weekend. As soon as she had gotten home on Friday she had put on another pair of ankle socks, these ones a soft pink nearly white colour. Just like the tights they were worn 24/7 and extremely smelly by the time Sunday evening arrived.
These socks would hopefully be a piece of irresistible bait for her by now probably truly addicted boss. Just like Evelyn Kelly looked forward to the exact same moment tomorrow, the moment she hopefully could snap her trap shut. She for one was already praying that those other socks had lost their scent so Evelyn would be eager for a replacement pair.
