I laughed. "You don't think I can land the job with my ideas?"
"I didn't say that. Suit yourself." She turned back to the T.V.
I sighed and unbuttoned the top button of my blouse. It couldn't hurt. As long as I made it clear that I was never going to give him sexual favors. I was not going to have another Mr. Ellington situation on my hands. I still couldn't believe someone was suing him. I should probably find out more about it so I could give my statement too. I quickly pulled on a pair of heels.
"How do I look?" I asked and walked in front of the couch.
"Hirable. Oh!" Kendra stood up and ran into her bathroom. She ran back out and tossed me a tube of lipstick. "Do the whole red lip classic thing. Guys dig that too."
"Is this how you landed your first advertising job?" I untwisted the lipstick from the tube and applied it.
"A girl never kisses and tells. Just kidding. Maybe. It's Valentine's Day, though. It wouldn't hurt to be a little flirtatious. Guys get sentimental about this holiday too, you know. He'll probably hire you just for batting your pretty eyelashes at him."
I smacked my lips together. "I'm not doing that. How do I look now?"
"Perfect. Drool worthy. I can't wait to hear how it goes."
"I think I'm going to get it." I made sure my notebook was in my purse before heading to the door. "Wish me luck!"
"You're not going to need luck." She winked at me.
I'm glad she was so confident in me, because I was getting nervous.
