Deciding at last, Mat pressed the intercom button and paged is secretary. "Heidi, can you send for Susan Hobs? I'd like to meet the new intern and personally welcome her to the company."
"Of course, sir," Heidi said, knowing full well what 'personally welcoming' likely meant. And in truth, Heidi hoped that Mat did manage to sleep with the new girl... maybe if he found a new toy to play with, she could get a few more of her own evenings back. Not that she expected it to last, she'd been sleeping with the boss for the past three years. But at least when he found a new distraction, she got a few months of not working long hours herself.
When the new girl arrived, Mat left her waiting in his reception area while he studied her on the security camera. She was almost a classic girl next door, very pretty, but not terribly beautiful. Long blond hair, lightly applied makeup, soft pink lipstick complimenting her pale blue eyes nicely. From the cut of her blouse and skirt, she obviously kept herself fit, but she lacked the fullness of tits or ass that would have catapulted her into the realms of a true marvel. Her height too was unimpressive, barely 5'4". Still, there was potential there, if she was willing to use it.
"Heidi," Mat said, again keying the intercom. "Go ahead and send in Ms. Hobs." When the door opened, Mat stood, walking around his desk to shake her hand as she entered and gesturing at the comfortable seating area within his office. "Welcome Ms. Hobs, why don't you take a seat. I make it a policy to get to know my employees a little bit as soon as I can, I'm sorry I haven't been able to meet with you sooner."
"Oh, no, it's okay, I understand that you're very busy," she gushed. It was a bad move on her part. The kind of statement and tone that told Mat she was eager to please. People who were this eager were almost too easy to manipulate.
"Well," he said as he reclined into one of the comfortable chairs, "I appreciate you being so understanding. Now I do have a few questions I wanted to ask... if it feels like an interview I'm sorry, it's just habit. Trust me, nothing you say here will cost you your internship, you've already passed that part. Though... if I'm truly honest, it could open the door for faster promotion. Okay?"
"Of course," she bubbled. "Fire away, I'm all yours."
You have no idea, Mat thought. "Okay. I know that your have a background in Marketing, would you say that image and appearance are important?"
"Very important. The right image can make or break a product. And appearance, well, I think your appearance is just you just marketing yourself."
"I'm in complete agreement with you. Now, this is a little bit of a marketing test. I'm wondering if you have what we're looking for in a spokes model for one of our upcoming products. Honestly, I'm thinking of a position that would have you traveling to several trade shows, being out on the show floor and attracting the interest of potential clients. Would you be interested in something like that?"
"Absolutely!" Mat could see the glee and excitement from the young girl. She was seeing dollar signs, travel, all the things that young people seem to flock to without ever understanding what it takes to get. Well, soon he'd see what kind of girl she is.
"Excellent. If you would for me then, go ahead and take off that blouse and skirt and let's have a good look at you."
"Sir?" She asked, suddenly confused, clearly not knowing yet if she should be offended.
"It's a modeling position. Well, to an extent. Don't think I want you to just be a pretty face at the booth, I do want you to be able to talk up the product at least enough to get the potential client to talk to a sales agent. But the first thing that's going to draw people to our booth is seeing an attractive woman like yourself posed in a bikini or other skimpy costume. So, let's have a good look at you and make sure that you've got the qualifications I think you have..."
