At Silk Seduction Intimates, on her first day

This was the moment that Mackenzie waited for. Finally, her first day on the job! She gave herself one more look in the glass door: impeccable business suit, doing justice to her figure without unduly emphasizing her curves. White shirt. A scarf. Red hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Matching high heels and a purse. Black glasses.

Bristling with excitement, she strode proudly into the building, presenting her ID to the front desk. "Mackenzie Fairbarn!" She announced loudly. "For Silk Seduction Intimates!" The security guard rolled his eyes. "Visiting who?" "I'm an employee!" touted the redhead. "Where's your badge?" "I don't have one, it's my first day!" came the answer. The security guard gave her a long look. "Okay ... I'll have one escort you up."

Five minutes later, Mackenzie entered her new workplace in the company of a tall, coltish brunette. "Emilia." The woman introduced herself in a vague Italian accent, after which she gave Mackenzie a ride with the elevator and finally dropped her in front of an office, where a stern Black woman named Denise gave her a brief orientation and welcome on behalf of Human Resources.

And finally, exactly one hour after she set foot in the building, Mackenzie was ready to take on her new duties as a junior executive on the Marketing team. She barely had a chance to meet her new colleagues but she noticed that most were female, with some very rare exceptions. It was a women's lingerie business, after all.
