checked her watch and saw that she had ten minutes to go upstairs to room 611. She found a pair of heels and proceeded to the elevator, which she took up two flights.
When she arrived at her destination, she knocked on the door. A woman’s voice behind the door called out, “Just a minute!”
“Take your time!”
After a short wait, a girl with long blonde hair opened the door wide as she adjusted her clothes. “You must be Stella! My name’s Cheryl. Come on in and make yourself comfortable.” She gestured for Stella to come in.
The two of them walked down the hall to a large round table with six chairs. “My colleagues will be here in a minute. While we’re waiting for them, can I get you something to drink?”
“Sure.”
“What would you like?”
“Ummmm. A glass of wine?”
“Sure thing.”
Cheryl walked over to a bar in the corner of the room, retrieved a bottle of a red wine, and poured two glasses, which she carried back to the table. “Cheers!”
Stella took her glass and clinked it against Cheryl’s. “Cheers.”
“You ordered our room service, right? Can you tell me who came to your room?”
“Justin.”
“Oh, he’s a good guy, isn’t he? I like working with him.”
Stella almost said, “I’ll bet you do. I can’t think of a girl who wouldn’t like working with him,” but decided against it.
Cheryl winked at Stella. “A lot of people, when they interview for a job here, wonder if our on-the-job duties might somehow extend to what we do when we’re not on the clock. Let’s just say that we all look out for one another here and, well, if one of us needs something, there’s usually someone who’s more than willing and able to help … meet those needs.”
Stella beamed. “That’s really awesome!”
“Yeah, I know. Working here really is like being in a good close-knit family and it’s such an honor and a privilege to be here.”
“I feel honored that you’re even interviewing me.”
“You should. You’re the only girl from this week’s group of guests who will get an interview. We only interview one guy and one girl from each group.”
Stella sat back, unsure how to respond. Surely the other girls in her group would kill to know that she was even having this interview.
“So let me tell you about our whole program, if you don’t mind. I want you to be honest now. Even if you haven’t filled out the paperwork, have you made any decisions about whether or not you want to buy a timeshare with us? If you weren’t being interviewed now, or if you don’t get the position, would you become a member?”
“Ya know, since I got the card inviting me to interview, I hadn’t really thought about it. And, uh, I hadn’t made the final decision but I was definitely leaning towards doing it.”
“That’s good to hear, since we only hire people out of our membership base. One of the prerequisites of taking our job is that you must be a member. Plus we’d give you the choice of having the cost of membership deducted from your paycheck, or if you’d pay it separately.”
“Ummmm…”
“No need to make that choice now. But let me look through some of the items on your file if you don’t mind…” Cheryl began to shuffle through some papers on the table. “I see here that you asked that Justin have long brown hair and green eyes, huh?”
“Um… Yeah. Is there something wrong with wanting that?”
“No. Not at all. That’s just an intriguing combination.”
“Wait. Are you saying that he’s not really a brown-haired, green-eyed sex machine?”
“Oh, he’s definitely a sex machine.”
“But…”
Cheryl looked around tentatively. Satisfied that no one else was nearby, she lowered her head and gestured for Stella to come closer. “I guess I can safely tell you this,” she whispered conspiratorially. “I mean, if you’re
