Megan scrambled through the papers on her desk. The days leading up to Christmas were always a shit show and this year was no different. People wanted models left, right, and center for their parties and with the rise in popularity of Dรฉcor and Kollar Tech technology, the demand was exponentially higher this year.
Her biggest and most important client was Sly Tech. Any mistakes in dealing with them would likely result in her being fired. The contract was prepared, leaving only the selection of models to be completed. There was only so many models available from her company and Megan had to get creative to accommodate all the clients over the holidays. Her mother, sister, boyfriend, and best friend graciously volunteered their time for Christmas Eve with a big bonus expected on Christmas Day.
Form after form. List after list. Megan whittled down her pile of contracts to a few sheets as assignments were sent out to the various teams in place for decorating. An inspector was assigned to go around and ensure all placements were appropriately delivered. Megan would only have to worry if there was a serious problem, but the operation was a tight ship. There were never any serious problems.
With her desk cleared, it was time to wrap up and finally enjoy the holidays. Since most of her family was serving as Dรฉcor for the evening, she was also invited to Sly Tech's Christmas Party after building a strong impression with the executive team. Her only obligation prior to going was the promise she made to her sister Alexandra. As part of the deal for being Decor, Megan agreed to drop Alexandra's daughter, Saffron, off at her friend's Christmas party being held at the local college she attended.
Megan honked the horn and waited in the car. Saffron hopped into the front seat wearing a revealing, sparkling red outfit.
"Did your mother approve that outfit?"
"No." Saffron said with an innocent smile.
Saffron's skin-tight dress had a turtleneck that tightly wrapped around her neck and a cleavage window to display her well endowed assets. It stopped just below her ass, which was emphasized by her red high heels. The outfit was completed with complimentary jewellery and matching lipstick. Clearly, she was taking advantage of not having to deal with her mother's approval of how she dressed.
"Is this going to be a problem?" Saffron asked.
Megan shook her head. Girls will be girls. She couldn't call the poor girl out when she had done the same thing at her age. Saffron had a good head on her shoulders and despite dressing to attract attention, she knew not to give hers to the wrong type of person.
Before she put the car in drive, Megan's phone rang.
"Hello...yep....what do you mean not delivered....." Megan checked her watched. "All right, I'll stop by quickly. Bye."
"Who was that?"
"That was the first work emergency on Christmas Eve in the three years I've been at this job." Megan said in annoyed toned. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to make a quick stop before I drop you off."
Saffron wasn't happy, but there wasn't much she could do. Megan put the car in drive and sped off to the put out the work fire.

Megan and Saffron walked up to the reception desk of Sly Tech. In the corner, off to the right, was the usual receptionist. However instead of doing her job, she was frozen while dressed in red and white lingerie and holding a sign that said:
'Party this way.'
The two women walked past the girl. Megan could see Saffron's eyes lingering. Her family had been to Decor, so seeing frozen women wasn't new, however Saffron was never permitted to be frozen herself. Her longing gaze betrayed her desire to experience the frozen bliss, especially dressed in lingerie. The sexier the outfit the better the experience, as Megan had personally learned.
Megan opened the double glass door to a semi-empty office. Around the office in various places were other attractive women dressed in similar outfits as the receptionist. Some were by a makeshift drinks table and others were wrapped in bows like presents. Two were even being used as a coat rack.
The whole scenario brought Saffron to a halt. Her eyes couldn't help but take in all the beautiful women on display with outfits far more risquรฉ than Dรฉcor. Megan strode to the middle of the room to meet the CEO, Winston Chambers, who was coming from his office.
"Ms. Ribbons, it's a pleasure." Winston said. "As you can see, the party decor is looking a little scarce."
"Who are all these women?"
"They work here. I basically told them, don't bother making plans for the Christmas party because they were all expected to be Decor."
"And they agreed?"
Winston nodded with an appreciative smile. "That's why I hired them in the first place. Gives the boys a little pick-me-up when they look left or right and see a pretty face."
Megan found the misogynistic attitude off-putting. Unfortunately, he was the boss, which meant he could say whatever he wanted. It's not like the girls had objected. From the looks of it, they all seemed like the type to sell out for money.
"But why hire Dรฉcor from us if you already had some?"
"The more the merrier." Winston said. "Anyway, I believe I ordered another eight models, yet I don't see them."
Megan remembered signing the form. But what happened to the girls?
"I apologize Mr. Chambers. I'll make a few phone calls to see what happened."
"What about our main display?" Winston gestured to the center of the room. "We need someone there. You would work well"
"Move one of your girls."
"And single a girl out. No way! The drama that would unfold is not worth the headache. That's why we ordered externally."
"I mean I would, but I need to resolve this for you."
Winston looked back at Saffron. "What about her?"
"Oh no... that's my niece. I'm actually dropping her off at a Christmas party."
"Look Ms. Ribbons. I don't care how you do it, but I want that display filled in the next five minutes or you can forget about this and any future business."
Winston walked away. Megan couldn't possibly resolve the problem as a statue. There was no way she could become the main display. Her only option was Winston's suggestion. Everyone else she knew was already in the load of lost models. Megan walked over to Saffron.
"Can we go now?" Saffron asked.
"How would you like to make $100?"
