Chapter 89 - Chapter 84 - Is It The Same

"It looks like Boss is late. He probably stayed to see another glimpse of the Princess," Rugged Woman spoke while looking at her companion, while closing her locker in the changing room with a knowing smirk playing on her scarred lips. "Hehe, do you think our boss was mesmerized by the princess like many other men out there? I saw quite a few grown men practically drooling when she appeared on that platform."

ZIIPPP!

"Hmm, maybe. I don't know for sure. Maybe he's busy somewhere else with important matters. Boss will come soon. He always does," Subordinate Woman said softly as she zipped up her usual working outfit, a tight black full-body suit with a chain in front that went from her waist all the way up to her neck. The links clinked softly as she adjusted them.

"Ohhh, that's quite the sunny outlook you've got on him," Rugged Woman said, her eyes glinting with sly amusement as she studied her companion. "You were lucky to have joined just a little ahead of him. A small gap in time, really. Any later and right now you'd be flat on your back somewhere, turned into the camp's favorite little sex doll. Your tight pussy would have been passed around for every man here to use however they pleased."

She gave a slow, crooked smirk and leaned lazily against the locker, one hand rising to comb roughly through her tangled hair. Her calloused fingers worked through the knots with practiced, almost careless ease.

"Yes, I'm grateful for that timing," Subordinate Woman smiled gently as she touched her torn outfit inside the locker with careful fingers, her expression turning sweet and distant as memories washed over her. After a few seconds, she leaned back against the locker and glanced sideways, sneaking a look at the smirking rugged woman. She spoke carefully, choosing her words with precision. "It's not like I was spared completely though. Someone already tried to violate me when I newly arrived. Isn't that right, Ex-Boss?"

"Hey, hey! I was looking out for you!" Rugged Woman laughed heartily as she came closer with a mischievous grin spreading across her weathered face. "Just making sure you understood how things worked around here!"

"Humph! I don't believe you!" Subordinate Woman pouted in anger, turning around sharply and continuing to fix her outfit stubbornly, her hands moving with more force than necessary.

"Hehe, well, I do find you interesting, so I couldn't help but get a taste," Rugged Woman said playfully, suddenly reaching out to touch Subordinate Woman's cute, round ass with her left hand, her fingers squeezing gently.

TAP!

"No thanks! I don't find you interesting at all, so stay away. Otherwise, I'll complain to Boss," Subordinate Woman spoke sweetly, gently slapping the hand away with a polite but firm smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"Ouch! You know, it's not often that such a milky white woman comes here to this hellhole. Your skin feels like it's never touched a dirty object in its life, so soft and smooth." Rugged Woman's expression became more serious as she studied her companion with calculating eyes, taking in every detail. "I don't know your full story, but you were quite unlucky to be sent here of all places. Even though Boss is here protecting you now, you and I both know he just came here to find something specific. Once he finds it, he'll vanish like thin air, disappearing without a trace."

She leaned more heavily against the locker, her tone softening.

"I've been here a long time," she said quietly. "I've seen things, done things, more than I care to remember. I've worked every kind of job this place could offer. Fought in the pits, sold my body, and scraped by however I could. I've saved enough to pay back what I owe, and once that's done, I'll finally be free. I'll leave this place behind and never look back."

Her gaze hardened as she looked at Subordinate Woman.

"But when that happens, you'll be on your own. And you know as well as I do, you can't survive here alone. So tell me... what are you going to do then?"

Subordinate Woman gave a faint, sorrowful smile that made her look vulnerable. As she spoke, her trembling hands fumbled with the items in her locker, betraying the emotion in her voice.

"I don't know what I'll do," she admitted softly. "I've always been just a useless child, an unwanted mistake from my father's younger days, the forgotten daughter who never mattered. I was never good at anything. Studying, fighting, or anything that could make me worth something. My mother protected me for as long as she could, keeping me hidden away in a quiet corner of the house where no one noticed us. But after she died from illness... everything changed."

Her voice wavered, and she drew in a shaky breath.

"They said I'd seduced my older sister's husband. A lie, but it didn't matter. I was cast out and sent here, told to work until I repaid every coin ever spent on me and my mother."

Her voice grew quieter, more vulnerable, cracking slightly with suppressed emotion. "I tried to be useful for my father, to prove that I had some worth, but... siigghhh..., I can't even talk properly in front of others without stuttering or freezing up. That's why I was so happy when Boss chose me to be his spokesperson, to speak for him. For the first time in my life, I felt useful. For the first time, I felt that I could do something right. For the first time, someone acknowledged me as a person instead of a burden. I'm truly happy right now, happier than I've ever been. I don't know what will happen in the future, and I don't really care anymore. As long as I could help Boss in any way possible, then I'll be grateful for this time I had with him."

Subordinate Woman spoke with some raggedness in her voice as she touched her torn clothes in the locker again, her fingers lingering on the damaged fabric with a mixture of pain and fondness.

"Ohhhhh, is that why you love him?" Rugged Woman poked her soft, negligible biceps teasingly, grinning wide and showing her teeth.

"What? What! No, no! I don't feel like that for him!" Subordinate Woman's face turned bright red as she fidgeted nervously, quickly closing her locker to hide her embarrassment and the evidence inside.

CLANG! TM!

"Hehe, don't be shy! Boss does look great, and even though he acts so tough and cold on the outside, he's quite a good man inside where it counts. Even I like him, and trust me, I never really like many people." Rugged Woman leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "And you even pounced on him naked when you got the chance at the first meeting! You are truly a naughty girl, aren't you? And don't forget you liked it when he touched you right there in front of everyone, right? Hehehe. Your juices were flowing like crazy! I could see the wetness running down your thighs! Hahaha!" Rugged Woman laughed out loud, making Subordinate Woman turn even redder with embarrassment, her face practically glowing.

"Mooooo! Don't say it like that! I didn't enjoy it! It's just... you know, he's a man, so when he touched me intimately, then it just happened! It's a natural body response!" Subordinate Woman turned around defensively, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting in anger, her lower lip jutting out adorably.

Rugged Woman smirked knowingly as she came closer and hugged her from behind without warning. She wrapped her strong arms around Subordinate Woman's waist and placed her face on her shoulder from behind, speaking in a low, teasing voice. "Then I guess you'll react the same way to any other man's touch, right? I guess I thought wrongly about you. Maybe you're a pervert who likes to act seductively in front of men, acting all innocent and pure while enjoying their touch, then in the future acting as a victim to gain sympathy. Are you one of those women, my dear subordinate? Tell me honestly, how many men have you slept with while acting all innocent?"

As soon as Rugged Woman finished her words, she saw Subordinate Woman glaring at her from the corner of her eye with surprising intensity, her gaze sharp and filled with genuine anger.

Rugged Woman didn't flinch and still hugged her tightly, her grip firm, continuing with a sharper edge to test her further. "What? Am I wrong? I'm sure Boss also thinks that way about you. A woman who got ready to get naked on the first meeting, bathed with him without hesitation, even sat on his lap willingly, and CUM with his touch in front of many people. Are you sure you and I are not the same kind of woman? Or do you truly love him, so you don't mind these things because it's him? Is it love at first sight, like in those romantic stories?" She smiled widely, showing her teeth while grinning.

"Agh!" Subordinate Woman stopped glaring, and her face started to get red again as she looked ahead, unable to meet anyone's eyes, fidgeting with her fingers nervously. "What are you saying? I... I... I don't know if I love him or not, but I don't mind him doing things to me, and him only! I never liked anyone else touching me like that, not that anyone touched me before, but ..but…that's the absolute truth! Only him!"

"Heeehhhh! Fine, fine! Take your own time to figure it out. I won't say anything more about it. You're a good girl who is loyal to her boss, right, Subordinate Woman?" Rugged Woman released her from the back hug and stood beside her with an approving nod, her expression softening slightly.

"Hehe, that's right, Rugged Woman!" Subordinate Woman calmed down and smiled widely, looking at the woman beside her with affection. Standing shoulder to shoulder, both women laughed while looking at each other with genuine camaraderie, their earlier tension dissolving into companionship.

CREAK—BANG!

Suddenly, just as the two women were talking and enjoying the quiet moment, the door slammed open with explosive force.

BANG!

The impact echoed through the changing room, the sound reverberating off the walls and making the lockers rattle violently. Before either of them could react, a flood of men and women surged inside like a crashing wave of bodies, filling the space in an instant.

The calm shattered, overwhelmed by noise, movement, and sheer, unexpected force.

Rugged Woman frowned deeply, her eyes squinting dangerously as she saw them blocking the door and smirking at both of them with malicious intent written clearly across their faces. Subordinate Woman got scared with the sudden situation, her heart jumping into her throat. She moved back slightly, hiding behind Rugged Woman protectively, her hands gripping the back of her shirt.

"What is the meaning of this?" Rugged Woman spoke in a dominant voice, stepping forward with confidence, her stance wide and ready for confrontation.

"What do you mean? We saw Boss hasn't come until now, so we came to ask his so-called women to see if they knew something about where he is," one of the men in the middle spoke while smirking arrogantly, crossing his arms over his chest in a show of power. His eyes roamed over both women with undisguised hunger.

"Hmm, don't worry about such little things and go do your usual work. And don't dare to come into the women's room again. Otherwise, I'll surely kill you!" Rugged Woman spoke with controlled anger burning in her veins, grabbing the hand of Subordinate Woman firmly. Then she started walking with confidence, her steady steps unwavering as she pushed away the men and women blocking the front of the door, shoving them aside with her shoulder.

THAP!

But as they were about to leave and escape, a hand suddenly came from behind and grabbed Subordinate Woman's shoulder roughly, fingers digging into her flesh hard enough to bruise.

"Ack!" Subordinate Woman's eyes went wide as fear shot through her body like ice water. She started sweating immediately, cold drops forming on her forehead. Her eyes moved around frantically in panic as her breathing became shallow and rapid.

Rugged Woman stopped dead in her tracks and turned around sharply, speaking in harsh, clipped words that cut like knives. "What? Do you want to touch Boss's woman now? Do you have the guts to fight him when he finds out?"

"Hehe, don't be like that, Ex-Boss. We know you're not really his women, just pretending for protection. The women here told us how they never saw Boss being intimate with either of you, never saw him kiss you or take you to his room. Do you think we're stupid? For how long can you fake it? You've tormented many men and women during your time as boss, making their lives hell, so we deserve some revenge, right? It's payback time."

The man finished speaking and came closer with predatory movements, his intentions clear in every step. He hugged Subordinate Woman from behind, wrapping his arms around her body. He grabbed her breast roughly and started fondling it through the fabric with aggressive movements that made her skin crawl. "Ah, I liked you the day you came here! Unfortunately, you went to Boss before I could claim you. Hehe, he hasn't pleasured you right? Why not let some dashing men make you feel good? Ah, such soft boobs! They're perfect!"

The man kept fondling her breast with increasing roughness as he grabbed her waist with his other hand, pulling her body against his so she could feel his arousal pressing against her back.

"Ack! No! No, please stop! Agh!" Subordinate Woman begged in a cracking voice, her eyes filling with tears rapidly as she felt the man's hands violating her body. She felt disgusting, dirty, violated. The touch made her skin crawl in a way that was completely different from how Boss made her feel. When Boss touched her, even intimately, there was care in it, a gentleness beneath the firmness. This was nothing like that. This was raw violation, hands that grabbed without permission, without kindness, without any regard for her as a person. She tried desperately to free herself but was not strong enough to break his iron grip, her struggles only seeming to excite him more.

"So, how did you feel? Is it the same as when Boss touches you?" Suddenly, Rugged Woman smiled coldly and asked with sharp curiosity, her voice cutting through the chaos. She was testing something, watching carefully.

Seeing this unexpected reaction, the man and other people stopped laughing and looked at Rugged Woman with confusion, not understanding what game she was playing.

Subordinate Woman looked ahead with tears streaming down her face, the liquid running in hot trails down her cheeks. She just shook her head continuously from side to side, silently answering the question with absolute certainty. No. It wasn't the same at all. It was disgusting!

"Do you love Boss with all your heart?" Rugged Woman asked again, her voice softer now, almost gentle.

This time Subordinate Woman shouted with all her strength, not hiding anything in her heart. "YES, I LOVE BOSS WITH MY WHOLE HEART AND MY WHOLE SOUL! I LOVE BOSS!"

The words echoed in the changing room, raw and honest and filled with everything she'd been holding back.

"Hehe, I guess you belong to Boss, so..."

BOOMMMMMMM!!

Rugged Woman smiled fiercely, her expression turning savage, as she punched hard directly on the face of the man with explosive force. Her fist connected with his nose in a sickening crunch that sent blood spraying. The impact freed Subordinate Woman instantly as the man stumbled backward, his hands finally releasing her. Rugged Woman pulled her away and threw her behind protectively, shouting in a loud, commanding voice that echoed off the walls. "RUN! TO OUR BOSS! GO NOW!"

"Agh!" Subordinate Woman glanced backward briefly with tear-filled eyes, her gaze meeting Rugged Woman's for just a moment. Then she continued running without stopping at all, her legs pumping as fast as they could carry her. "Just HANG ON, Rugged Woman! I'll come back with help!" she shouted in a loud, determined voice as she ran with all her strength, her feet pounding against the floor desperately, her heart hammering in her chest.

"Oi! What are you staring for? Go chase her! Don't let her get away!" The man on the ground ordered some people angrily, wiping blood from his shattered nose with the back of his hand, his face twisted in rage and pain.

BOOMM! BOOMM! BOOMM!

But many of them were stopped by Rugged Woman's vicious punches and kicks as she smiled dangerously, her eyes gleaming with violent excitement and wild energy. "Hehe, it looks like you think I'm just a pitiful woman now! You've forgotten who I used to be! No one can overwhelm me except for Boss! Kekkeke! Come, you cowards! I'll punish you just the way I used to do before when I was in charge! Kekkeke!"

Rugged Woman moved like a cornered beast.

She launched herself into the oncoming crowd, fists and boots striking with ruthless efficiency born of years of hard experience. Her knuckles connected with jaws, sending heads snapping back. Her elbow drove into someone's ribs with a crack that made them double over, gasping for air. She ducked under a wild swing, pivoted on her heel, and drove her boot into someone's knee with enough force to make them crumple.

Every movement was practiced, precise, and terrifyingly effective. She didn't fight to win. She fought to hold. To buy time.

Her body became a living barrier, forcing them back step by step, absorbing the chaos as blows landed and were returned. A fist caught her cheek, snapping her head to the side. She tasted blood, while grinning, and returned it with a devastating uppercut that lifted the attacker off his feet. Someone grabbed her from behind. She drove her head backward in a brutal headbutt that made them release her instantly.

Shouts echoed, bodies stumbled, and the space filled with raw momentum and violence.

But it wasn't enough.

While she kept most of them locked in the fight, a few men and women slipped through the edges, ducking past her reach, sprinting down the corridor in the direction Subordinate Woman had fled.

Their footsteps rang sharply against the floor, getting farther away with each passing second.

"GRRR! Boss, I hope you come fast. Don't let us down!" Rugged Woman muttered as she kicked several people with extreme precision, her boot catching one in the stomach and sending them flying backward into the lockers with a metallic crash.

Subordinate Woman's words kept echoing in her mind.

Sigh... she sure loved Boss, and I am certain if Boss wants, he could easily accept a woman like her.

But what if I want to love him?

BOOOOM!

Rugged Woman was punched hard in the face. She tasted blood on her lips, shook her head to clear the stars from her vision, and smiled as she punched the attacker back with twice the force, feeling his nose break under her knuckles.

Hehe... I guess that's impossible.

No one wants a sullied woman as their partner.

She grabbed someone's arm, twisted it behind their back, and slammed them face-first into the locker door.

Even though Boss's eyes never showed disgust toward me and he treated me equally, I knew that if I ever said I wanted to spend my life with him, he would surely refuse.

I don't want to see disgust in his eyes.

Rugged Woman smiled sadly as her thoughts rampaged through her mind, even as she effortlessly knocked many people unconscious. Her fists moved on autopilot, her body fighting while her heart ached.

"Boss... I think I also love you."

Rugged Woman let out a deep sigh while cracking a man's arm with a swift, brutal motion that made him scream. She then glanced back toward the direction Subordinate Woman had fled, her expression softening for just a moment.

Be safe... and don't let them defile you.

Then she turned back to the fight, her smile returning, savage and fierce and ready for more.
