As soon as he shook his head she knew she had made a mistake. She should have lied, said yes, of course she was happy. That was what they all wanted to hear wasn't it? The hand that suddenly slapped across her cheek burned any doubts away, she knew that everything he said about wanting to hear the complaints of the denizens was a lie, he wanted to root out troublemakers... The backhand had caught her by surprise though, it's sudden casualness doing nothing to ease the hardness of the blow. The side of her face stung, from the strike, her lip hurt too, her tongue dashed out quickly checking and pulling back from the sting, her lip had split too.<br/><br/>Then before she could think, a hand was in her hair throwing her to the ground where she landed with a hard jarring thud and was soon covered with the filthy water she had been using to clean the floors of the atrium. She had wanted to scream but fought back against the urge, it would only enrage or enflame his desire to hurt her more, and besides, who would help her? The security guards outside?<br/><br/>She pushed herself up, still on her side, upper body supported by her hands. She kept her head down, face half hidden by the long hair that hang down in tangles in front, but a trickle of blood started to ooze from the corner of her mouth where he had hit her. She was afraid to look up, afraid to look into his eyes again. What if he saw past her fear and saw the anger and resentment that flowed behind it? Then he would undoubtedly do even worse to her...<br/><br/>At his words to undress she reached up with one hand, slowly undoing the filthy jumpsuit that served as her clothing. There was nothing sensual about the way she moved to obey, it was more like a robot, simply following commands, her thoughts locked away to preserve herself. She pulled the suit down over one shoulder, then sat upright and pulled it down over the other, letting it fall past her smallish breasts which she covered up with one arm. She cinched it down further, then uncovered her chest so she could use both hands to push the suit down over her round hips. Beneath she had a pair of fabric panties, clearly not in the best shape, nothing given to the denizens was, but it was all that covered her nakedness from his eyes. As soon as the suit was off, her other hand went back, covering her chest once more, while she sat next to her dirty clothes in a puddle of cleaning water that covered the floor of the office.
