"Hm, I wonder if I should have mentioned I don't know how to cook?"

Beams and shakes her head. . ."Grilled cheese sandwiches. I can cook."

Pulling a hairbrush through her hair she starts adding up. . "25 slices of cheese, 50 slices of bread and 25 cans of soup."

Sighs happily. . ."Grocery list all made."
Rolling over and not feeling yellowrose, I sat up and called to her.

"yellowrose. Come here, please." She hurried to me and fell to her knees in demonstration of her submission. She assumed the typical 'inspection' position.

"This morning you will be serving Breakfast Duty; I am pleased you have arisen so early, ready for your task. Those with whom you will work know the morning menu preparation, and will ask you to simply keep the buffet stocked. You may start your preparations for lunch then. I would suggest you stay with a meal easy to prepare, likely soup and a hot sandwich. We buy commercial soups, which are stored in the freezer in containers which look like those new soft drink 12-paks. Instructions are on the container. We should have sufficient bread, butter, cheese, and meats, all well-labeled in the coolers. What ever you would have used as typical fillings for your sandwich, however, double it. Our staff and clients deserve the best."

yellowrose bowed to me and said, "Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to serve in a way that may help me atone for my errors, and thank you again for the instructions for that service. I will do my best to not repeat this error."

I smiled inside. This young lady will go far! "Go now, dear one. Go and serve." She turned and, with a bounce in her step, walked from my suite.... giving me a pleasant view from behind.

Knowing there was a busy day ahead, I languished in the shower. The hot water cascaded from me, giving me strength and waking me up. I dried and dressed, finishing my morning ablutions. On walking out, I saw Mastermike and moved toward him.

"Good morning, Lord," he said. "I know you said we needed to work together today to start teaching me about running this place, but Mobius sent me a note about someone we might abduct." He filled me in on the whole story.

Knowing the situation and how it occurred, I reluctantly shook my head.
"No, we will not be abducting her now. She has not shown interest in our dungeon, and we have no desires to bring in anyone non-consensual. We have done so in the past, but no more. And we need to respect the lady's emotions, and her time of anger and grief.

"Now, about the inventories; lets go to the business office and I'll get you started on ordering techniques, vendors, and policies....."
