Chapter 3
Criss sat in his kitchen reading the resume for Kayleigh Hutchence. Dave Baram assured him that she was perfect for the job. Dave’s longtime friend and lawyer, Phil Owens, had been friends with her for years and she had a lot of experience as a secretary and personal assistant to some very wealthy and powerful men. Criss trusted Dave’s judgment but still, he hated the thought of losing Jennifer. She had told him yesterday the reason she was giving him her two weeks notice was that she was getting married and moving to Japan. He truly did wish her the best and was glad she was going to be around to train someone. He really hoped Dave was right about the girl he was interviewing because he didn’t have time to interview a lot of people.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Kayleigh’s alarm went off waking her with a start. She sat bolt upright in bed. She had trouble sleeping and had finally fell into a deep sleep about 2 hours ago. She was anxious about this morning’s interview but her sleep had been disturbed by a man trying to get through to her. He kept waking her, trying to tell her something but she was trying to ignore him so she could get some sleep.
“Ugh!” Kayleigh turned off the alarm and rubbed her eyes. Why now of all times, was someone trying to communicate with her? Kayleigh had been sensitive to the paranormal her entire life. Just like her mother and her mother before her. She had no idea who this man was that was trying to talk to her nor what he was trying to tell her. He wasn’t anyone in her apartment. The only spirit she felt around her in her New York apartment was a woman named Carol and she never bothered Kayleigh. She was just around.
On her way to The Firm; Kayleigh kept trying to shake the sleep from her brain. She stopped in the bathroom and slapped some cool water on her face, checked herself in the mirror and walked out the door. When she got to Dave’s office, she took a deep breath and opened the door. Kayleigh had worked for rich and powerful people before but never for a celebrity. She had to get her nerves under control because it wouldn’t look good for her to be all star struck in front of Criss Angel.
Dave stood up from his desk.
“Kayleigh!” he held out his arms to hug her. “I haven’t seen you in a while. How’ve you been?”
“Just fine, Dave. You?” Kayleigh hugged him.
“I’m great. I want you to meet Criss, Kayleigh. Criss, this is Kayleigh.”
Kayleigh and Criss shook hands and it sent a slight surge of electricity through her body. She tried not to look startled. This was something that rarely happened to her. She wondered what it meant. Pushing her thoughts back, she smiled at Criss and said, “Nice to meet you.”
“Well, I’ve got lots to do so i’m going to get out of your way and let you guys talk. Kayleigh, it was great seeing you again. I’m on my way to see Phil right now.” He turned to Criss. “Criss, this girl is a real gem.”
Kayleigh blushed and Criss chuckled. Once Dave left Criss asked her to sit down.
“First of all, don’t be nervous. Really, i’m not someone to be nervous over.” Criss told her and smiled. He had a really warm smile that made Kayleigh feel more at ease.
“Now, tell me about some of the other jobs you’ve had. Dave gave me a copy of your resume’ but i’d like to hear about your experiences from you.” Criss sat back in the chair and clasped his hands together.
“Well, I don’t want to go too far back and bore you but in the recent years i’ve worked for Phil Owens off and on. Mainly when he needs me. I’ve done secretarial work for him and acted as his personal assistant when he has traveled abroad. I’ve worked as a personal assistant for George Beckham, Sidney Crane, Paula O’Dell, and Wayne Isham in the past 10 years. Mr. Isham is the only one in the entertainment industry i’ve worked for. I’ve done all the normal responsibilities of a personal assistant plus secretarial work. Keep schedules, plan meetings, make appointments, work on payroll. Pretty much you name it; i’ve done it for these people. Lots and lots of gopher work.” Kayleigh laughed.
“Wow, I’ve never heard of most of these people you’ve listed here on your resume’. I think these people are too rich for me to know.” Criss laughed.
“Yeah, seriously rich. In fact, my first p.a job was for Orini Hishimoto. He’s a multimillionaire business man. Mostly electronics but he dabbles in a lot of different things. I was so in awe of the money. I couldn’t believe people really lived like that.” Kayleigh told him.
“So where are you from? You sure don’t sound like a New Yorker. Is that a southern accent I hear?” Criss asked.
Kayleigh chuckled. “Yes, it is. It used to be way worse. I’m from a very small town in Louisiana. I took some secretarial courses at the community college then got my B.A in business at Louisiana State on a scholarship and loans because my parents sure didn’t have the money to put me through college. I had to go though. I had to get out of that town. Well, right before I graduated, my friend Wendy called me and told me to move to New York. Well, I did and the rest is history.”
“You sound pretty motivated. I like that.” Criss said and winked at her.
He had such a great smile and a warm personality that Kayleigh forgot all about being nervous so they chatted for another half hour.
At the end of the interview, they shook hands and parted ways. Criss told her he would be calling her in a few days. Kayleigh felt very positive about the interview. Criss seemed to genuinely like her and was interested in what she had to say. He had a way of making her feel as if he was hanging on every word. He seemed so down to earth. Kayleigh was used to stuffy business men in suits and Criss was very different from that. He was also the best looking man she had ever had an interview with. She went home on cloud nine.
