Kylie Steps Up

“I’m expecting big things from you tonight.”

“Like what exactly? Is this going to be like my birthday?”

“No, nothing like that. I would normally have Chloe for this but she’s tied up at the moment and I can’t rely on her to be ready on time.”

“Wait yah where is Chloe? I haven’t heard from her in over a week.”

“She’s in England entertaining Mr. McMahon and he seems to be quite enjoying himself.”

“Gross.” Kylie was aware of the seedy nature of her family, more so since her birthday party and the goings on made her a little uncomfortable.”

“Kylie, it’s not gross, it’s business.”

“Business is gross then.” Kylie whined.

“Do you like living in a mansion in LA? Do you like your fancy clothes and fine jewelry and lavish parties? Sometime you have to learn how the sausage is made.”

“Doesn’t mean I have to like it.”

“No, I guess not. But all the same, welcome to the sausage factory.”

“So what do you need me to do?”

“We will be going together. I will hold conversations with several important people while we’re there and I will need you to sit around and look pretty.”

“That doesn’t seem so bad.”

“You’d be surprised. I want you to remember that no matter what someone says to you, no matter how much it offends or insults you, you must remain demure and classy. You are here to sell the product.”

“What’s the product?”

“Services.”

“Okay, vague.”

“Kylie, you know what we offer. You’re the poster, not the employee. We want them to want you so that we can sell them a look alike who will do what they want.”

“Isn’t this like illegal?”

“In a way. Our employees are contractors and they are paid well for their discretion. As a result we need to market them to people willing to pay them what they are worth. They can’t afford you, but they can afford our services.”

“Afford me? Was that on the table?”

“That’s the nature of things sweetheart.”

“What about Chloe?”

“Her some can afford and often do.”

“How would they afford me?”

“You’re young, like a virgin if not one in practice. To afford you there is no monetary price.”

“But there is a price?”

“Everyone has a price.”

“Is mine the highest?”

“Don’t be so vain. And possibly yes.”

“What about Kim?”

“Kim is also expensive, but time has a way of haggling things down, so does use.” Kris rolled her eyes. “Kim was the crown jewel, our family gained much more than her value because she was so valuable. But she paid her dues and she’s out, for now at least.”

“And Courtney?”

“Courtney is, how do I put this nicely? Not much of an asset these days. She has found her niche, she made her value but she’s more on the business side.”

“Well maybe I can be on the business side?”

“Sweety, you’re too valuable to be on the business side. Someday, not soon, but someday you will need to cash in.”

“So Chloe’s a whore, Kim’s a retired whore and Courtney quit whoring?”

“Watch your language young lady. But yes.”

“What about Kendall?”

“Your sister will be brought into the fold when the time is right.”

“But she’s older than me.”

“Yes, but she’s found her niche for now. Trust me, her time to cash in will come.”

“Do we have a rate sheet?” Kylie asked sarcastically. Kris laughed.

“I can make one if you want.”

“No thank you.”

Kris sat down on the bed next to Kylie. “I know this is a lot, but we’ll ease you into it. Your sister, Chloe, has been bearing much of the burden by herself. It’s not fair and it’s not going to last. One of these days her value will drop and that could crater our business. We need a new face of the business, one that hasn’t been buried between the ass cheeks of every congressman and woman in Washington.”

“You talk about Chloe like she’s trash.”

“She’s loyal and smart. But her enthusiasm for the job makes her an ill fit. She’s attainable and has very much been attained. Your resistance to the idea is exactly why you’re perfect. You’ll retain your value.”

“I don’t know.”

“I’ll be with you the whole time. If you’re ever truly uncomfortable, we’ll leave.”

“Fine. But I’m not sucking any old man dick.”

“I wasn’t asking you to.” Kris replied with a small smile.
