"Oh, and as for your reputation, keep in mind that nothing is permanent. When you stop this game and get back on the corporate ladder, I'll even arrange to change your identity so that you can return to being an ordinary business person."

But, but, but . . . This was too much to handle. He had answers for her every concern-there had to be a catch. "I can see why they call you the Charmer. You're good! It seems to me that you've got everything you need to make people do your bidding-you don't need me."

"I may be charming, but with you by my side, we could be irresistible!" Hmm, by your side. Why was this so damn appealing?

Dan looked down at his watch. "Look, I've got a phone meeting soon, so why don't you take a bit of time to think about this. We have an office for you just down the hall-Doris will show it to you. Talk to her and think it over. I'll be free again in an hour and we can talk some more." He stood up and they shook hands, his radiating warmth. Kay could not help but notice his eyes, sparkling with an incredibly loving look. She inhaled deeply, and her mind clouded over.

Doris looked up when Kay stepped out of Dan's office. What just happened in there? Kay leaned against the wall and stared blankly into space, her mouth hanging open. "Are you all right, dear?"

"I . . . I think so." She shook it off and managed to sit down next to Doris. "This is so strange!"

"You've got that right." She's such a beautiful young woman. Doris had a good feeling about Kay. "Does this mean you're going to play Dan's game?"

Kay laughed. "I think you're being too modest, Doris. From what I hear, it's your game too."

"Yes, yes. Our game. Are you playing with us?"

"I'm thinking about it, but I really need some more time to figure it out. Dan tells me that I have an office up here. Can I go sit there for a while?"

"Come on, I'll show you." Doris got up, and Kay followed her down the hall. They stopped at a door and Kay broke into a big grin. The door had an engraved sign on it reading "Kay Samson."

"My own office on the executive floor." She couldn't take her eyes away from it, and stood there immobilized. "This can't be real."
