So it's not part of his job to kiss her, but he could lose his job if he doesn't? Is part of (all of?) his job to keep her happy? Did she want him to kiss her? Did she have any feelings about it one way or the other? Would this be a sort of routine-social-kiss (e. g. kiss hello, kiss goodbye, kiss goodnight, that kind of thing)? A romantical-type-kiss?

******** SPOILER ************ A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled a gun on her. The woman had hiccoughs. In the traditional version of this story, the woman thanks the barman and leaves. In this version all the mayhem that one might expect from a barman pulling a gun on someone arises, resulting specifically in the barman being dead (and therefore losing his job :-)). Perhaps it would have been easier if he'd resorted to an alternative cure for hiccoughs which was suggested to me recently, and just kissed her. | ||
