Chapter 1
Nancy Nichols just finished her junior year at UNLV and decided to stay in town during the summer and take a couple of courses to relieve her crowded senior year schedule, rather than return to her parents' home in Chicago. She had been looking for a part time summer job in Las Vegas by searching on the internet as well as the local newspaper. One morning she came across an interesting ad on line at a Las Vegas job site.
It read, "Temporary summer employment for a female college student as receptionist/model for a small firm in suburban Las Vegas. With no exceptions the applicant must be skilled in Microsoft Office software with good phone manners, 21 to 25 years old, slender, 5' 2" to 5' 4" height, shoe size 6-1/2, bra size of 36 C, and be willing to model high heel footwear and other items for the company catalog."
Nancy not only met the requirements of the job posting, she was also very pretty with blue eyes and medium length blond hair that she had put in an "up" style hairdo.
There was a phone number to call for more information during regular business hours.
Nancy was intrigued with the ad; first of all because there was a bra size requirement for this job and it so happens that her bust size was exactly a 36 C which caused her to read the rest of the ad in detail. Coincidentally, she met all of the other requirements listed, so on a lark she called the phone number from her cell phone.
A pleasant women's voice greeted her by answering, "Monica's Stilettos and Lingerie".
"Oh, I was calling about the temporary receptionist job that was advertised on the internet at the 'Jobs in Las Vegas' site," Nancy announced.
"I see. Do you meet all of the requirements listed?" she questioned.
"I believe so," she answered.
The women asked her to hold while she switched Nancy to another woman who identified herself as Monica Morgan, the store owner and manager of a retail shoe store that also sold women's lingerie including bras and corsets among other items. Monica indicated that they were looking for an ultra-high heel shoe model as well as a lingerie model to update the merchandise section of their website. She went on to explain that they knew many college students were looking for part time or temporary work while going to summer school, so they wanted this same person to relieve their current receptionist who also was only part time since she worked a second job as well. Monica asked Nancy if she currently wore any high heels and if so, what height were they.
"I recently found a couple of pairs of 4-5/8 inch high stiletto heels and wear them when I dress up since they are about the highest you can now find in any of the department stores. Since I'm only 5 feet 2 inches tall, they make me feel so much taller when I wear them," she responded to her question.
"Good, give me your name and I'll start an information sheet on you and if it seems like you would be a good fit for the job, you can come in for an interview," the Monica explained.
Nancy went on to answer all of Monica's questions concerning her personal information including her physical measurements. Monica said that she seemed to meet all the requirements that they had in mind and asked if she could come in for an interview this afternoon at 1:00 PM where she would get all the details of the potential job. Nancy was definitely interested but wanted to know more about the modeling part of the job, so she agreed to come for the interview.
She decided to wear her light grey business-type suit. The pencil skirt was hemmed to just above the knees with a matching jacket that was worn over a red cotton blouse. A four inch red patent belt was tightly cinched on the outside of the jacket which showed off her 26-1/2 inch waist. A red patent purse and matching 4 inch stiletto heeled pumps completed her outfit. She stopped and ate a quick lunch at a fast food restaurant before arriving at exactly 1:00 PM at the south suburban location of the office near the Town Square area where she had been directed.
It was located in a rather new, large two story building containing other retail and wholesale businesses in different sections. Nancy entered the business through the front door that led into a small reception area that also doubled as an alternate shoe fitting room. A larger fitting room was located in another room in the section of the two story building that they had leased. The reception desk was located at the front of the room near the small display window. A very pretty young woman was setting behind the desk and asked if she was Nancy Nichols. She indicated that she was and that she was here for the interview.
"Please set down and I'll tell Ms. Morgan that you're here," the girl said as she picked up the intercom phone and dialed a number.
After hanging up the phone, the receptionist led Nancy to a door on the side of the room and into an office area. Nancy noticed the young receptionist wore a dark blue business suit, much like her own, except that the pencil skirt was hemmed to mid-thigh. Also she had on a pair blue suede pumps that had stiletto high heels that she guessed were about 4-1/2 inches high which was the current fashion trend! A striking middle aged woman who had been setting at a large desk stood up and introduced herself to Nancy as Monica Morgan while the tall receptionist turned and left the room.
"I'm happy you could make it on such short notice," Monica greeted Nancy.
