Regina was drinking coffee in the kitchen in the afternoon while Berta came home slamming the door. Regina knew it's not going to be good day for Berta, "Bad day?"

Berta walked around the kitchen pacing, "One mistake, Your Majesty."

Regina shrugged, "I don't know about that. They called me recently asking me to …"

Berta ugh, "They didn't."

Regina nodded, "They did and evidently it was not your first mistake; which I understand it's not your skill, but you gave me extra work to fix your mistakes."

Berta leaned on the counter, "I hate working there, in the office and typing all statistical analysis and data reconfiguration."

Regina walked around the counter kissed her cheek, "You either quit your job or we'll have to fire you. Mistakes cannot be made and you have made more than once."

Berta threw her arms up watching Regina walking upstairs back to her office, "I can't quit. I need this job. Please, Your Majesty."

Regina with evil grin turns around top of the stairs, "I can make you a copier and technician assistance or something like that."

Berta crossed her arms, "That's low even for you. Over my dead body."

Regina laughs, "That can be arrange. I'll be happy to do it."

Berta rolled her eyes following her upstairs to beg her to let her stay and when they arrived at the office, Regina drink and heard the ringing from her boss then picked it up answering the call.

"Ma'am?" Regina gestured that Berta has to stay so Berta unhappily sat front of her desk.

"This is a mess and you have to come in. Mrs. Smith messed up the orders and the statistical analysis."

Regina eyed Berta front of her who is fretting then felt bad while rubbing her forehead while leaning against the desk, "Yes, ma'am. I'll come in and we will get this straight."

"She needs to come in and clean up her desk then have her to come and see me. She's fired."

Regina nodded while hanging up the call, "Yes ma'am."

"Have the paperwork for Mrs. Smith ready and gave her the last paycheck."

Regina acknowledging nodded, "Yes ma'am. I'll see you soon."

They both hanged up the call.

Berta lowered, "I'm fired, am I?"

Regina sadly told her yes then explained, "You're coming with me to work. You need to clean up your desk, see Jodie to then come to my office."

Regina gather her paperwork and got the employment termination documents printed out for Berta to sign off and the last paycheck while Berta waited downstairs.

Regina put her documents on the table near the front door to talk to her before arriving at work, so she waved her over remembered that she has no control over her anger since she acted like a little brat princess who doesn't like when it doesn't get in her way, "Berta, remember the rules of your outbursts. What is it?"

Berta doesn't care, so Regina tries to help her refocus because no firing process can't be good, "Berta, the 4 rules, what are they?"

Berta sighs counted with her fingers, "Fine. First, Calm and count to 10. Second, Take deep breaths then consider my feelings and the situation. Last is decide the appropriate response to change my attitude."

Regina caringly hugs her, "Good and if you can't?"

Berta pointed her fifth finger of her thumb while leaning close to Regina's body for comfort, "I'll ask professionally to leave the room temporarily to put myself on timeout."

Regina threatening kindly about the spanking pointing upstairs because Berta respond to pain, "Do I need to give you one before we go?"

Berta tries to control her tears while doesn't know how much she can control herself, "No, I'll be good. I'll be professional."

Regina wants her to be emotional and mentally prepared or there will be consequences, so she explained what is going to happen, "Jodi will be with someone, but I do not know who she choose to be the witness in the room with you. I cannot be in the room with you because we both are … married. Jodi will be talking to you what happened while asking you questions regarding the mistake and what were you doing. Last she will do employment termination checklist interview afterwards it will be handed to me read and see if there out of place that will decrease your pay. You will be signing off with me, an exit interview to confirm your address, W-2, agreements and all of that. I will have to consider to give you reference if you want to seek employment elsewhere based on the checklist."

Berta intensely listened while deep in thought why she made a mistake while truthfully she doesn't know, so she trying to remember what she did this morning and this week. Berta out of the blue became upset, "But I do not remember what happened this morning! I was on call while typing the data with one of the clients and I don't know!"

Regina remained quiet knew she's not ready to go back to let her rant on her own.

Berta kept going yelling without meaning to feeling overwhelm at the moment, "I did my work! I deserved to be paid! It's … We should be suing them! It is hectic, hostile place and unethical! I mean I came on time, and did everything they asked me to do."

Regina listened while believing that is completely unreason but didn't laugh even she would laugh front of her. Regina flipped through the papers and took out two specific mistake that cause chaotic in the entire datas, then she pointed one with 502, "Here is your mistake, you were not to supposed to put more than 100 orders, so you cost them thousands of dollars," she pointed other one with mistake for a different agreement that the companies buy from them because few of them didn't actually buy any, "the clients didn't buy from us, so you lost us hundreds of thousands. So as you know the numbers all connected because we have to know how many orders gained or products they lost. All of us are ending up fixing your mistakes. Somehow you switched 3 different same companies of the different locations of those numbers."

Berta studied the clients names and then remembered completed embarrassed, "I was looking through my iPhone while calling the clients."

Regina was beginning to be frustrated how unfocused she was for past week, "You knew the rules that you cannot use your iPhone at work. What was so important that you had to use your iPhone?"

Berta didn't want to answer because it was because she was hornier than usual since taking care of herself doesn't help much anymore. She was looking at the photo and the texts of Regina idolizing her, so she simply shrugged, "Nothing important."

Regina doesn't trust Berta and her emotional outburst anymore so she pointed upstairs, "Upstairs, now!"

Berta grunted, "Your Majesty, I'll control myself."

Regina shakes her head knowing all too well so Berta inhaled sharply walking upstairs to the bedroom. Regina took out the black double layer spanking leather paddle that is about 3 inches wide from their drawer, "Put down your pants," which they had few times before when Berta acted out like a brat little girl.

Berta started watered on her face slowly putting down her pants, but Regina didn't listen, "I promise, Your Majesty."

Regina gave her five hard swat as the red marks on her bullocks while she grit her teeth while wailing. Berta rubs her bullocks fighting back the tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I needed that."

Regina helped to pull up her pants and button it while staring deep in reddish eyes who is sniffing then she spoke, "Go wash your face, Berta. No more crying." She hates it when Berta became sensitive since it is extremely annoyed.

Regina bought the small pillow for her to sit in the car on the way to work. Berta winces in pain the whole ride after getting out she tried to walk straight. Regina stopped her, "Berta look at me."

Berta turn to face Regina asking not meaning to sneer at her, "What is it?"

Regina wanted Berta to remain calm so she kissed her on her mouth deeply, "It'll be ok. You'll go home after this and you'll allowed to have any one pint ice cream flavor."

Berta smiled sweetly kissing back passionately, "one gallon?"

Regina rolled her eyes, "one pint and I better not see an gallon of ice cream in the refrigerator."

Berta hugged her tightly then kissed her cheek thanking her, "I'm sorry about before. I was worried because we'll be living off of yours. Will we be ok?"

Regina doesn't like affection display so she moved behind the car away from the building while her arms are still around her waist, "I make pretty good money that I can afford everything. If this goes well today that I did everything right after your mistake then I'll ask for a raise, but I'll have to work more hours."

Berta sighs sadly, "I hate that I have to do this to you and give you more responsibilities."

Regina honesty doesn't care anymore grinning mischievously, "at least you'll be housewife mistress."

Berta challenged her with her eyebrow up, "stripped naked mistress?"

Regina laughs, "Absolutely not."

Berta whispering purring, "Black lace …"

Regina soundly kissed to stop her after shaming herself for starting it, "Don't tempt me, Berta."

Regina was impressed that Berta was polite and professional with Jodi. She only nodded quietly in respect then answered questions properly without giving additional explanations. Regina knew the spanking helps to keep her mind straight because the reminder of the bullock bruises. Regina worked past 8PM aggravated with all the clients and the calls to fix it while ordering other employees to redo the data analysis. They agreed to give her raise only if she worked few extra hours on those 3 days she goes to work because Berta got fired living off one paycheck. Regina added Berta under her insurance just in case.
