Kylie Jenner's assistant knew it was time to quit when she "didn't want to" fetch the make-up mogul's laptop for her.

Victoria Villarroel -- who worked for the reality star from 2015 to 2020 - realised she had to move on from her job because she had got so close to the Kylie Cosmetics founder, she felt more like a friend than her boss.

Speaking on her and Stassie Karanikolaou's podcast Better Half with Stas and Vic, Victoria recalled: "Me and Kylie, obviously we had a working relationship. But you can't not get so close to a person that you see every single day and you know everything about and you're with them at all times, good or bad. You just become close to this person."

Admitting she remembered the key moment "like it was yesterday", Victoria said she and Kylie were in the kitchen when the Kardashians star mentioned she needed her laptop from upstairs.

She laughingly added: "And I was like, 'Oof, who's gonna get that?' 'I don't want to go get your laptop.'"

Victoria and Kylie knew at that point it was time for her to move on, and the former assistant will always be grateful for how kind and gracious the Kardashians star was.

She said: "She was amazing. I remember being so nervous and thinking, like, 'Am I making the right decision? What if I'm leaving the best thing--best job I could ever have?' 'Cause people were in my ear being like, 'You're gonna leave? People would die for this job.'

"[Kylie said] 'Oh my god, Vic, I want you to thrive, and I'm gonna be here supporting you. And I love you so much.' "

Victoria - a former Teen Vogue intern and office manager for Kylie's mom Kris Jenner's company Jenner Communications - was original drafted in as assistant to both Kylie and her model sister Kendall Jenner but "it became too difficult to do both of them at the same time."

Victoria decided to stay with Kylie, 28, because she was in the process of launching Kylie Cosmetics and she had more of a "creative role" as well as her assistant duties.

But not wanting to leave Kendall, 30, adrift, she joked she "gave" the older sibling her own sister, Sofia Villarroel as a new assistant.

She said: "I told Kendall, I was like, 'Please don't hate me. I have a peace offering: my sister, my DNA. Basically you get me, but you probably will like her more because she's way more like you.' "
