Mistress, excellent point. Separate from this discussion, it happened to me two years ago. Bought a condo and this tall mature woman, who has long blonde hair, slight European accent and usually wears black, is in my building. At the condo meetings and when I accidentally have said hello in the lobby or the parking lot, she has what I would call a friendly but authoritative bearing. She reminded me of Mistresses I have served. I helped her load boxes in her luxury SUV one day and she assertively told me how to place them in her vehicle.

She probably owns her own business or is a top sales exec and my overactive imagination is likely misguided. I think. LOL!
