The days went by and the work routine helped to improve the relationship between you and Michelle a bit. As someone who was just starting her career, it didn't take Michelle long to discover that keeping a grumpy attitude the whole time wasn't going to help her in any way or make her look good in front of the people that mattered like Kim. And as for yourself, you were pleased with how not only she was a competent enough worker but also with how her constant presence your desire for her feet didn't develop into an obsession that could make you do something stupid, but into a welcome distraction you could indulge at most times during the work day, checking out her beautiful feet encased in the different kinds of sandals she was still bringing to work.
You still desired to have your way with her feet of course, but the routine, having her sitting next to you most of the time and the fact that you could tell you weren't still anywhere near being friends helped you to take control of your fetish and be able to think rationally. Other than the odd couple of lapsus during meetings when a subconscious movement of her foot or an enticing wiggling of her toes made you slip up or have to ask stupid questions just to "clarify" things, Michelle's feet were giving you more happiness than trouble.
To achieve what looked like a long term side project, you kept attempting to warm up to her with more free coffees, being as patient as you could addressing her questions and even letting her call you James instead of 'Sir', but it bothered you the way she kept siding with Denise and Candy when you kept putting them in their place. You wanted to make her part of your trusted team, but while with Jacinta and Jenny she was just polite, she seemed to have more in common with that pair of bitches. You kept hoping for that chance to break the ice and finally make her see the light, motivated by a daily dose of healthy ogling that she somehow failed to notice at all.
"Thinking of something, James?" was pretty much the only thing she said when she caught you, not bothering to track how your line of sight always pointed to a specific place
"What?"
"Here's the report you asked, once you review it I guess we will have everything we need to persuade Mr. Sherwood to extend the contract"
"Oh, sure, sure.. well done Michelle. We can include a bit more technical data here just in case" You focused on the task at hand feeling another achievement was in the bag, and wondering maybe you could invite Michelle to lunch afterwards to celebrate and finally cut that cold attitude of hers, or at least persuade her to stop getting poisoned by Denise and Candy.
====
The next day however you got a frustrating surprise when Michelle finally stopped using sandals, opting instead for boots that still looked fashionable on her but restricted you from indulging in your private pleasure. That meant the meeting with Mr. Sherwood went flawlessly, but also that after a time with your guard down your fetish finally worked against you as you started lashing out at Michelle for any mistakes she made and erased all the progress you were making with her.
Now instead of the celebration you planned, you were just berating her for things in the report even you failed to notice yesterday.
"What the hell is wrong with you today James? I already told you why we couldn't have the information from last week"
"What is wrong with me? That could have costed us this contract! You need to spend more time making sure the data is up to date instead of fooling around with those two useless bitches"
"Shut up, who do I talk with here is none of your business"
"Of course it is, I don't want to have to train another rookie just because you're too stupid to notice something so obvious"
"Now I'm stupid? James, I told you to review the report and you told me it was fine!"
"Turns out it wasn't! I'm reminding you that we have some standards here, so you better be grateful and improve. I can't keep accepting those kinds of mistakes" You roared, but you knew at this point Michelle wasn't going to budge. Regardless of being a rookie at the office she just looked like the kind of girl that could easily get employment somewhere else, so she wasn't intimidated by your threats.
"Standards.. fine, boss. If you're done then I'll go to take a break, excuse me" She decided to cut the conversation and the next thing you knew you had to bs Kim about healthy differences of opinion as she admonished you for the way you were treating her. This only pissed you off even further, as under a warning you couldn't just go and humble Denise or Candice either. Without your motivation to get over the routine you went back to old patterns and ranted with Jenny for the rest of the day, which of course wasn't as satisfying as passively indulging in your fetish but at least was a bit cathartic.
====
The next few days the interactions were shorter and colder than ever, and even if by this point of your career you knew keeping a grumpy attitude the whole time wasn't going to help you, you also couldn't help it, being still denied of what became your main source of pleasure at the office and with no way to make it come back. Even if you knew this was supposed to happen, what previously you thought would be a source of relief was now just a source of frustration and denial.
"What? What are you looking?" Michelle spat, now that there was more silence in the air she was starting to pay more attention, at least to notice some of those times you were distracted weren't because you were thinking of something.
"Nothing, just get back to work" you retorted, frowning and not resisting to impose yourself again. You wondered if you would have to fire her and how much good will would it take out of Kim to do so, considering the recent events. Michelle just rolled her eyes, but not before giving you a weird look, as if knowing it was strange you kept looking at her but not directly like that.
======
Things finally unraveled when one day you could see them again, at long last. You saw her carrying a little bag that she stored on her desk cabinet, but you didn't think much of it until you saw her later opening it and taking those brown thong sandals she brought on her first day. She took off her boots with a sigh and put the sandals on, wiggling her toes enjoying the sensation of more comfortable footwear and of course fully getting your attention. You just kept staring like an idiot for a solid 5 minutes before recovering and if she noticed, she didn't say anything. The desire easily bubbled up again and you knew you would have to make things right with Michelle somehow.
She was surprised when you arrived after lunch with some coffee and dessert for her but her expression quickly turned hostile again
"What's that?"
"It's for you, I heard you liked this one"
"I don't want that. I don't want anything from you Sir. Denise was right, you're an awful person so just stop trying to bribe me off and focus on the job" Michelle said with some venom, surely encouraged by that bitch. But you expected this, after how you treated her it was clear she wasn't going to forgive you easily.
"I'm sorry Michelle, I lost my temper that day and I went.. way over the line. Could we just start over?" You practically begged her, sneaking a glance to those beautiful feet that looked a bit more radiant for some reason, maybe for the sweat from the time she was using the boots, or maybe because you did miss them that much
"I guess I have to accept the apology then, but what took you so long?"
"What?"
"You've been treating me like shit for days and suddenly you're all nice again?" Michelle raised an eyebrow and looked you closely
"I don't know, I just.. I guess the job becomes unbearable like this" you lied looking down again, not being able to help it even if you knew Michelle was looking
"You made it unbearable" she shrugged
"I know, I know, I shouldn't have been so hard on you when that meeting went well anyway" you looked at her again but she wiggled her toes a bit as if approving of your answer and you looked down again. Was it on purpose? You couldn't tell, you didn't care at the moment.
"Right, and you definitely shouldn't call me stupid or tell me who to talk with ever again" she continued, apparently not caring that you were her boss. You were a bit taken aback by her nerve but those toes again easily disarmed you.
"Y-yeah, sorry again" you stuttered, just wanting to end the conversation and feeling flustered already. Nobody talked to you like this in the office but you were too distracted, and you missed the feeling too much to answer back
"Good, I think I understand now.. Finally some improvement James, I'll take a break now" she said, taking your peace offering with her and giving you a strange smile before leaving. It gave you time to calm down and fear that maybe she connected the dots at last, it was the first time she openly disrespected you like that, but those feet.. you needed her. You thought you could take some of it while you won her back and won Kim's trust back once Michelle could put in a good word for you again. Even if she realized what you were staring at the whole time, you thought maybe it would work to your advantage.
You went back to work ready to put some extra hours to deal with the welcome distraction, now that Michelle seemed to accept the apology
