"Yes, but he'll pay for it tomorrow when they realize what they signed. I feel a little bad for him-he doesn't deserve the trouble I brought down on him."
"You're right, Lawson deserves it, not Spelling. Still, you did to them what they've been doing to us for years."
"I know that, Dan, but as much as this game is empowering, I still have a sense that it's wrong, both in the way I pander and in the way they react. It's confusing me."
"You can stop anytime you want, Kay. I don't want to force you to do this. But on a positive note, did you hear that Walter Rosseau resigned as CEO?"
Kay's face brightened. "Wow, that's great news." She stared at Dan. "See, there's another man who has fallen because of my tricks, although in his case, I must admit I have no sympathy. But one thing is certain about Rosseau: he definitely felt bad afterward. You only saw it on video but I was there. Let me tell you, he was not having a great day." She blurted out a laugh and shook her head slowly.
"Well, if I do get taken by a beautiful woman, I hope it's you." Dan had a look on his face that Kay had seen before. A look that was often followed by a kiss or a proclamation of love. Was he going to say something romantic or wrap his arms around her? She wanted it with all her heart. Throw your stupid rules out the window and take me, damn it. Kay exhaled-it wouldn't be right. It would only make a mess of the situation. They had to keep their distance now for even more reasons. She was vice-president and advisor to the CEO, so a breakup would ruin much more than just the game. And she was certainly enjoying many aspects of the game, much more than she ever thought she would. Besides her power over men, there were thrills, bonuses, promotions, and an incredibly great partner who actually treated her honestly. I can keep this handsome man at arm's length, can't I? She could, but if he made a move right now, she would submit willingly.
Of course, Dan didn't make a move. He just sat there silently, offering that charming smile. And Kay returned the smile, only partly satisfied with the warm glow of his admiration.
