Go figure...
You are very correct with that fact. I know of such a submissive. He's a leader at his job (car sales). Sometimes, I would be on the phone with him, and he'd tell me to hold on, and I would hear him giving someone orders to do thus and so (and in a tone that meant business!). However, when he would talk to me from his home, his tone changed dramatically and he would ask permission for him to call me "Mistress". (long story) :p Go figure.
