1999, Spokane Washington
Paige Meckern was used to life going her way. The intelligent young woman came from a comfortable upbringing, was attractive, and carried herself with poise. These combined to generate admiration and popularity everywhere she went. She sailed through high school as an envied darling and was accepted into her first choice of colleges. There she found a devoted boyfriend who married her a month after graduation and took a job with a construction company to pay for her law school.
In her final year, she was recruited by the prestigious law firm of Parker & LeMay. It was a large firm with dozens of lawyers organized into groups. She was to start after graduation and they would help prepare her for the bar exam. She was thrilled by the opportunity and confident that she would succeed there just as she had everywhere else.
Paige soon realized that working at Parker & LeMay was going to be much more difficult than she'd anticipated. There were a lot of new lawyers all of which had the same, or better pedigree. Everything was competitive and no one was willing to help. She found it difficult to get to know anyone and for the first time in her life didn't have people fawning over her.
The work was hard as well. She thought she was well prepared but struggled to finish her tasks on time. When she did meet the deadline she was told the work was inaccurate. After her first week, she was transferred to a different lawyer group. Two weeks after that came another transfer. Three days into a third group she was struggling again. Her heart sank when she was summoned to the Human Resource department.
When she arrived Jill was waiting for her. Jill had been the one that recruited Paige out of law school. Paige nervously sat down, fully expecting to be let go. The reality of failure felt like a baseball in her throat.
Jill spoke first, "I know you're struggling and have been moved around a lot. Your current group is also requesting you be removed."
It took all of Paige's strength to hold back the tears welling in her eyes.
"But we do have another opening. As unusual as this sounds, we have a lawyer leaving Ms. Kanning's group to pursue a career in the sex industry."
"Oh," was all the response Paige could muster.
"Yes, we found it odd as well. But they've asked if you would be interested in her spot."
Alexis Kanning had a reputation as a no-nonsense, resourceful lawyer who was fierce, strong, and powerful. Several of the senior lawyers at Parker & LeMay rose through the ranks under her tutelage. Several more had gone on to start their own firms. This was a great opportunity, but risky. If she hadn't been able to please any of the other lawyers how could she please Kanning? Realizing that her only choices were to take that risk or get washed out, she uttered, "Yes. Yes, I would like that."
"Great. Let's go see her."
After a quick trip up the elevator and down a hall the two women stepped into Kanning's office suite.
"Alright this is the office, and that'll be your desk," Jill said. "This is Amber Rov and Brittany Taeve, they're junior lawyers on Ms. Kanning's team. You'll be working directly with them."
The two women stood to welcome Paige. Amber was a tall brunette while Brittany was a petite blonde. Both were impeccably dressed pulling off that rare combination of sexy but professional.
Amber spoke first, "Paige, We're glad you agreed to come over to our team."
"Thank you... but can I ask why me?"
Brittney answered, "Well Ms. Kanning noticed you, so we looked at your work. It's not great but shows potential. Ms. Kanning feels she can whip you into shape."
Paige was flattered and a little relieved. This was the most praise she'd received since she started.
Amber spoke again, "I have to warn you though, we're working on a pretty big case. We'll be putting in a lot of hours and some long days."
"It's likely to get stressful," Brittney added. "Will you be okay with that?"
"I'll be fine," Paige said before adding a phrase she'd never spoken before. "I'll do whatever I have to."
The junior lawyers smirked at each other.
"I think this will work out," nodded Amber.
"Me too," responded Brittney. "You can see Ms. Kanning now."
Alexis Kanning's office was everything you would expect from a high-powered lawyer's office. It was spacious with a spectacular view of the city, a minibar, and a private bathroom. The furniture was mahogany with black leather and expensive art hung on the wall. The one thing that stuck out was a padded leather bar stool. It matched the decor of the room but a single stool seemed out of place.
Alexis Kanning was standing behind her desk smiling a professional smile. She was wearing a long-sleeve, stretch-silk, A-line dress with a split neck and split sleeves. She was tall with black hair pulled back into a ponytail. Paige guessed she was about fifty and thought she was beautiful in a cold imperious way.
"Welcome, please sit," Alexis said, gesturing to a chair.
Alexis licked her upper lip with the tip of her tongue before stating, "I see you've had a rough go of it."
Paige attempted a smile, "It's been challenging."
Alexis waved her hand, "I understand, I've seen a lot of people get washed out. I think you have talent but need molding. I'm willing to give you that, but you have to commit. You must submit to my ways, my methods. If you do that and apply your talent I can promise you a brilliant career. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to submit?"
