<div style="text-align: justify;">The man who was talking to Rich had no idea of the man’s plans. Had he even dreamed of it, he would have never told the man where Shane was staying. With a smile, the man nodded when Rich said he wanted it to be a surprise. “That is really nice of you, I’m sure Mr. Malone will be thrilled to see you”, he stated, making a note to let Rich know when the man returned to the hotel. <br/><br/>After asking if Rich wanted something else, he would go back to his work unless the man wanted something. While he resumed his work, he was still thinking about how nice a surprise Shane would have.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">******************</div><br/>Colette sighed and smiled sadly at Paul. ~“I really appreciate that”~, she commented. ~“Of course, I wish you wouldn’t have to be let off from your job because of me”~, Colette completed. <br/><br/>When Paul said that he had wanted to stand up to Rich in the past but Martin hadn’t let him, Colette nodded. She could understand that. She didn’t really know much about movies, but she had heard that agents had a lot of power over people they worked with. <br/><br/>~“Can you remember someone who has gotten their lives ruined by him and for some reason might feel that you could have helped and didn’t?”~, she asked, trying for anything they could make use of. Maybe, with the right questions, they could reach some progress in that situation.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">******************</div><br/>Marie had said what she had to, so she fell silent and waited for Shane to think about her words and respond to them. When he said that perhaps talking to a woman would help Diane, Marie nodded. That was the answer she had been waiting for. The woman smiled to the young man.<br/><br/>“I’m sure it will, dear. Women have a language of her own”, she replied gently.<br/><br/>She paused for the woman who had brought their food to leave and sighed. Smiling at Shane again, the woman shook her head. “You came here for love, sweetheart. I can not see a better reason to do anything in the world”, she offered, in a comforting intonation.<br/><br/>A big smile showed on the woman’s face when Shane thanked her. “It’s a pleasure”, she replied, before tasting her own meal with a satisfied sigh. “How do you like it, son?”, she asked, after swallowing a portion with a piece of the bread that had come with the stew.</div>
