Dan closed the door and spun around to look at them, flashing a grin that could be seen from outer space. "That was nothing short of awesome, Kay. You made me the happiest CEO in the world today. Doris, did she tell you how she writhed around on my desk? I think Mack nearly wet himself." He wasn't the only one. She was so good at this game, her precise planning, her silent communication, the flawless manipulation of Mack, that outrageous outfit and of course, her irresistible body. Dan looked at her in awe. "Even I was mesmerized. You were amazing."

Kay looked from Dan to Doris and frowned. "Yes, but we pushed it a bit too far. My outfit was so trampy that he thought I was a hooker."

"You know, I thought about that this afternoon and I'm afraid it may be unavoidable. Let's face it, any time you distract a guy, he's going to think that you're available. In fact, if he doesn't think that, then he's not sufficiently distracted. It may well be that this game can't be played any other way."

"Well that's the sort of thing that I do not want to happen. That's why I spent so much time trying to ease out of the hooker role." She shook her head.

"People hear what they want to hear, so you can tell them you're not a hooker until you're blue in the face. They're still going to think otherwise. Sorry."

"Yes, I'm beginning to see that. But even if he didn't believe me, I still had to say something. I just can't let that sort of thing pass by without comment."

"No, you can't. I'm glad you pushed back."

Ask her the important question already. "So tell me . . . other than Mack's obnoxious response, how did you like the deal today?"

Kay shot out a laugh. "I'm embarrassed to admit that I actually liked it. I don't know why-everything about the deal was demeaning. And I don't ever want to play a dumb secretary again. But there was an excitement to it that I didn't expect. Defeating that pig was a major thrill. The money's nice, too."

She likes it! Thank you, lord. "Speaking of money." Dan handed Kay an envelope. "Your bonus."

"Thanks!" Kay took the envelope and put it directly into her purse.

She didn't even open it. How incredibly cool is that? Of course money was a big factor in Kay's decision to play the game, but he was glad to see that she trusted him and didn't need to instantly check the math and admire the zeroes.
