I said, no, I don't.

You're firing me.

And I walked out.

When I walked into that elevator and pressed the button, it was the 42nd floor.

I've never felt so much relief.

Because all the things I was angsty and worried about, because I felt the brand falling apart for different reasons, went away.

Until I got to the bottom and I was like, uh-oh, now what?

Uh-oh, what just happened?

And my first two thoughts were, my driver Fred's going to be out of a job.

because I'm too cheap to pay.

And the second thing was- He was part of your package.

Yeah.

And the second thing was, oh my God, what am I going to give to all the girls for Halloween?

Because I always had thousands of girls come to my house for lip gloss.

So those are my two first worries.

And then I called my husband and he came in and he said, I'm so glad I've been waiting a long time to get you back.

My husband opened the envelope and the offer was for the same or more money that I would be on call and I'd be the face of the brand, but not in the day to day.

And everybody tried the face and everyone tried to talk me into taking this large amount of money.

And I just wouldn't.

I just wouldn't.
