Edward gave Jessica a look that Tess knew well and he caught her grin out of the corner of his eye.  No one talked to him like that.<br/><br/>"Jessica, you do<em>not</em>give me orders.  I am the boss here as you had better learn.  I know you were just playing around but I want and expect more respect from my staff.  Is that understood?"<br/><br/>He got a polite answer but it certainly wasn't the one he wanted.  Still, he expected that if all went well, she would learn about such things before the day was out.<br/><br/>The three of them got into the car.  Tess got into the front with Edward, much to Jessica's chagrin. Of course this too was deliberate on Edward's part.  He was going to close the door on her in a couple of hours no matter what.<br/><br/>They drove in silence for a while and then Edward turned on the radio.  He turned it down low and then started to make casual small talk with both girls, asking them about the week in the clinic and whether they had any problems of note.  The resort was off the road a ways but not far from a sizable town with shops, restaurants and entertainment.<br/><br/>"Jessica," said Edward, "you probably don't know this resort.  It caters to those of us who are into an alternate lifestyle.  You may be surprised but give it a chance."<br/><br/>The drove in through the main gate after stopping and Edward confirming his reservation.<br/><br/>"This s much like another world, you could say.  Right Tess?"  He smiled because he suspected that Jessica, at least, would be startled out of her gourd when she saw how the girls who worked here dressed.
