Coming here was a huge adjustment for Gloria. She was so far from home and she did miss her family. Although, maybe if she spent more time with Amy, she wouldn't feel as lonely. Having one friend was better then having none at all. It already felt like she had known Amy for a long time. They just clicked together. It was quite easy for Gloria to talk to her. Especially since Amy knew what she was going through.<br/><br/>Gloria smiled. It would nice to do something with Amy. Neither girl was rich but maybe going out for coffee and sandwich would help.<br/><br/>"I'd like that. Is there anywhere nearby that sells some good coffee and sandwiches but doesn't break the bank?"<br/><br/>Gloria asked. She then nodded her head that keeping busy helped. That made sense, if you were busy, you couldn't think about home and the loved ones you were missing. Gloria definitely wanted to meet Phil. He sounded nice from what Amy said. If he thought of girls their age like his daughters, then that meant he was safe to work with. He wouldn't expect 'other' things from them. She nodded her head about the list of skills.<br/><br/>"Well, my parents put me in dance classes as a kid. I can tap dance and do a little ballet."<br/><br/>Gloria offered, wondering if dancing was a skill agents and directors looked for.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>After sending Amy on her way, it was back to business at Rich's office. He lined up two meetings with two movie directors for his star client. He kept Martin Hayes busy a lot, the more Martin worked,  the more money Rich earned. He looked up when Diane, one of his secretaries, walked in. She had her arms full of bags.<br/><br/>"Here, I got the stuff for Matthew's birthday party."<br/><br/>Diane said, plopping the bags down on his desk. He used Diane for his more personal errands. His eldest son's birthday party was this weekend and he had told his wife that he'd handle the shopping. Actually, more like he'd send Diane out to get stuff. He briefly looked at the bags, assuming whatever she picked out would work.<br/><br/>"And did you get a present for Raquel? Friday is our anniversary."<br/><br/>Raquel was the name of his long time mistress. Diane nodded her head and held up a smaller bag from a jewelry store.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I think she'd like this."<br/><br/>Rich opened the box inside the bag and saw a gold bracelet. It looked expensive.<br/><br/>"It was on sale."<br/><br/>Diane commented. Rich could be quite the cheapskate. Hearing that pleased him. He handed her a folder.<br/><br/>"We got a new girl coming in tomorrow. I need you to work up her contract and have it ready before nine tomorrow."<br/><br/>"What? But it's almost five-"<br/><br/>Diane said, looking at the clock. The office closed at 5:30, there was no way she could get it done before that. Contracts took time to draw up. Diane had to make sure all the ducks were in order. She had to be careful and make sure there was nothing wrote wrong that could lead to a lawsuit. The time she had spent doing his personal shopping, she could have spent actually doing her job. Rich shrugged.<br/><br/>"I'll pay you overtime."<br/><br/>Rich said, not pleased with her attitude towards doing her actual job. The one he had hired her for.<br/><br/>"But I have a date tonight."<br/><br/>"So, reschedule it. I'm sure your little grease monkey will understand."<br/><br/>Rich replied, not understanding what the big deal was. It wasn't like Shane Malone could take Diane any where fancy. He was an auto mechanic, Rich was sure Diane made more money then her boyfriend.<br/><br/>"But-"<br/><br/>"Diane, I pay you very well and I don't ask much in return. Would you much rather your 'side' jobs be given to someone else? That way you can do the job I hired you for."<br/><br/>The 'side' jobs were how she could send extra money to her parents back home. Make sure her father's debts got paid and his knee caps stayed intact. Diane lowered her head.<br/><br/>"No, Mister Porter."<br/><br/>"Good, now get to work. And don't forget to lock up when you're done."<br/><br/>"Yes, Mister Porter."<br/><br/>Diane said, leaving his office with the folder about Amy Stevens in her hand.
