Chapter 1 – The Interview  

The Red Kiss Cosmetic Corporation is one of the largest cosmetic companies in the world. It makes an estimated two billion dollars in annual sales. It employs over eight thousand people worldwide. Its corporate headquarters is located in downtown New York in the RKC Towers . Its offices consume the entire building and runs around the clock like a Las Vegas casino. Beauty Never Sleeps is the motto you seen when you come through the main entrance. 

Deep within its organization is the exclusive Red Kiss Executive Club. You don’t ask to join, they ask you. The only way in is by exclusive invitation and no one knows how that process works. You can’t miss them because the members wear the coveted RKC Black & Gold diamond ring.  Mark Strausen is the President & CEO. He’s a very tall 6’5" handsome gentleman with strong sculptured features; jet black well groomed hair, the perfect smile, deep dark eyes, and always well dressed in black custom tailored suits.  

He’s holding interviews today for an executive assistant position. So far none of the applicants have really sparked any interest or made him sit up and take notice until today. Today a very striking woman walked into his life and shook his world.  

Mr. Strausen your last appointment is here. Said his secretary over the intercom.  

Thank you Carol, send her in please. he said standing, adjusting his tie and cuffs waiting for her entrance. The door slowly opened with a gloved hand as she walked in taking slow strides toward his sprawling desk. Mark is immediately mesmerized and smitten by her. She’s dressed in a black mini one piece, black stockings, mid length black gloves, a small black clutch under her arm, red lipstick, and shoulder length curly auburn hair.  

Hello Mr. Strausen, I’m Katy Wilson. She said pulling off her gloves reaching out to shake his hand in total confidence that she has his undivided attention. He is almost lost for words, a very rare occurrence for him. He reached out and shook her hand.  

Well hello Miss. Wilson, please, has a seat. Can I get you anything to drink? He offered while walking towards the fully stocked wet bar.

 No thank you, I’m good.  

Mind if I… he started.  

Please help yourself, I don’t mind. I’m sure it’s been a long day filled with interviews and here I’m the last one, you must be exhausted. She said looking him up and down while he stood with his back to her fixing himself a drink.  

Up until now I haven’t really seen anyone quite like you. You must come from good stock. He said dropping a couple of ice cubes in a short tumbler; pouring it half full with scotch. He walked over to his desk and took his seat.  

"Well, my father was a full partner with the Smith, Wilson & Kline law firm just
