Feeling the touch on her shoulder, the redhead calmly ignored the girl's presence, studying the reflection in the glass surface behind the bar instead. The impudence of touching her shoulder confirmed the girl didn't yet know her place, but the fact she was 45 minutes late and improperly dressed made it obvious enough.<br/><br/>After a suitable pause, she turned to face the newcomer with an intimidating glare from those icy blue eyes.<br/><br/>"Any excuses to offer, before you learn your punishment? I take it you didn't spend the extra time getting changed to comply with my orders..."<br/><br/>Waiting a moment for her words to sink in, she then continued: "Let's see, girl - which is it, are you too<em>stupid</em>to<em>understand</em>the simplest order, or are you just disobedient?"<br/><br/>Knowing the importance the girl put on her intelligence and academic achievements, she knew that would sting her ego - which, of course, left only one answer. Her icy mask didn't betray any hint of it, but inwardly she was smiling at the girl's predicament already.
