my back. I unhooked my bra and slowly let it drop down my arms.
“ There’s no need to be sensual about it,” he said to me. “Just take everything off so I can see.”
“ Right.”
I let the bra drop down then pulled my panties down. I droppe d my arms to my sides, trying to figure out a position to stand in that wasn’t completely awkward while he stared at me. Franklin didn’t have any expression on his face. He still looked bored.
“ Have you considered getting implants?” he asked me.
“ I… No, I haven’t.”
“ Well, it’s not a necessity. It’s up to you. Some men like it, some don’t. A lot of guys are a fan of the natural look. What do you wear? A B-cup?”
“ Yes, 34B.”
“ All right, Harley,” he sighed. “Everything seems to be in order. You can put your clothes back on.”
I hastily pulled everything on. Franklin looked through the computer on his desk and started scribbling things down on a piece of paper.
“You say that you don’t have any experience dancing?” he asked me.
“ No, I don’t.”
“ Okay. That’s fine. You’ll need a permit. And you’ll have to go through some training if you want to make any money. And that is what this is about, right? Making money?”
“ Yes, it is.”
I took a seat back in my chair. Franklin stared at me and I shifted my eyes to the gro und, unsure of what he was looking at.
“ Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked me.
“ Yes, I’m sure. Why would you ask?”
“ I don’t know,” he said. “You don’t seem the type. You’re a little too timid to be in a place like this.”
“ I may be timid at first but let me assure you that I can quickly warm up. I’m ready to do this.”
“ Okay,” he sighed. “It’s your decision. I just want you to know that it’s going to take a lot of effort on your part. This isn’t going to be like a movie where guys are constantly showering you with money while you dance around naked for them. This is going to take some effort. And our patrons expect nothing but the best. There’s a reason we try to maintain an exclusive clientele here.”
“ I will do everything I can to try and work to meet that standard.”
“ Yeah, that’s what I expected you to say. Come in tomorrow. Some time in the afternoon before it gets busy. That’s when you’ll get started. I don’t expect you to be handling any clients on your first day on the job. Make sure you talk to Sage. She’ll get you started.”
Franklin stood up from his desk and walked around it. He extended his hand out to me and I shook it.
“Thank you,” I smiled. “I appreciate this opportunity.”
“ Yeah, yeah. Just go out there and make some money.”
He quickly turn ed around and took a seat back at his desk. I started to walk out of his office when I stopped. I slowly turned around toward him.
“ Franklin, can I ask you something?”
“ Sure, what is it?” he asked, looking up from his desk.
“ Do you think I have what it takes to make it here? I mean, what is it you saw in me? Is it just because I’m attractive enough to get by?
I was hoping for a good answer. The recorder was still running in my purse. He never really said why I was allowed to work here. There had to be more to it than simply looking good enough.
He sighed as he stared at me. I could see him racking his brain for an answer. Maybe there wasn ’t one. Maybe I was just hoping that there was more to it. There was too much money flowing through this place. They couldn’t just hire any woman who walked through the doors.
“ You don’t have any experience,” he said to me. “Some might call you naive. You have a kind of innocence about you. Men are drawn to that. Does that make any sense?”
I was half-insulted. As a reporter, the last thing I wanted to be called was naive. I was constantly looking for the truth and answers. But if that ’s the part he wanted me to play, there was nothing I could do except try to do it.
