The boss

It opened and another woman entered. Unlike the others she didn't hesitate and walked forward of her own free will. She was older than the others present, evidenced by her graying hair and wrinkles on her face. Despite her age she was beautiful and elegant. She wore a pencil skirt with black tights and a buttoned up suit jacket over a cream blouse. Her hair was done up in a tight bun and wore diamond earrings which sparkled in the light.Her high heels clicked as she crossed the across room to stand in front of the chair beside Sarah. "Hello Eric," she began. "I am excited to be here. You look surprised. Why wouldn't I be excited? Real magic, or at least something so beyond us that it looks like magic. I can't wait for my first transformations. I am almost positive the audience doesn't want to see you hook up with a senior. I was quite the beauty in my youth you should know. Spending the rest of my life in your harem is a small price to pay for that. Why do you all look so glum? You signed up for this too didn't you?" She looked at the other two women beside her, and then back towards the throne and the captain beside Eric.

Isla replied for everyone else, "Thank you Yaz, I'm glad to see someone excited for everything this show can do. And to answer your question these three didn't read the terms and conditions before signing, it's not my fault they are surprised."

Yazmin shook her head, "Eric I am surprised you would sign something without reading it. You are one of the firms best you know, but I would imagine Blondie over here had something to do with it." She pointed at Stephanie, who blushed and looked away. "Anyway I should introduce myself to the audience. My name is Yazmin Hassan. I am 62 years old and I am Eric's boss. I've spent my whole life working to be the best, to show those dust old white men that a woman was better than them. I succeeded of course, and now own my own law firm where I can pick and choose whatever work I want. However I never married, never really even dated. Some wild flings of course, but I find myself dreading the thought of retirement. When Isla came to me a while ago and told me all about this show I saw a chance to change my life. She asked me to give Eric the summer off to help convince him to be on the show. Of course I did, as long as Isla let me be a contestant. I can't wait to see what the audience decides, but of course if they happened to bring me closer to Eric's age, I wouldn't complain." She gave a sly smile and took her seat beside Sarah, smoothing her skirt as she sat down.

The other contestants and Eric looked stunned. Finally Eric spoke up, "but why? Why would you agree to be part of this show? I don't know what's going on but it feels wrong, it feels evil." When he said evil Isla's smile turned to a snarl. She turned to him and said "Evil? Don't be ridiculous. We are going to fulfill all your wildest fantasies. This is a show about love. Give it time, this is the best thing that ever happened to you." Isla looked back towards the 'camera' and smiled again. "Now we still have more contestants to introduce so let's save the chatter for later. Our next guest is just walking in now. Although Eric has never met them IRL, they have been friends for a very long time."
