Gloria knew that it would take time to get a meeting with Rich Porter. She'd need to find his phone number and schedule an appointment. Plus, she'd need so find a really nice dress. She assumed all the women here, especially the would be actresses, dressed very nice. Like they were already movie stars. Gloria didn't have anything that nice yet. She'd have to find a real job first. Maybe as a waitress, just long enough to earn some extra money.<br/><br/>She'd also need a find a place to stay. Gloria didn't come with a lot of money. She'd have to stay in a cheap motel until she could afford an apartment. Which she would be able to eventually. She was sure once she got a chance to meet Rich, he'd see that he needed to take her on as a client. Everyone back home told her she was a good actress. Now she was in the city where she could really prove it.<br/><br/>Gloria left the theater and hailed a taxi to take her to a cheap motel.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Finding Martin Hayes was like finding a goose that laid golden eggs for Rich Porter. Before Martin, Rich was a just like every other two bit agent. Trying to make it but not having enough star power to land big contracts. Then Rich saw him. Martin had been busing tables at a local restaurant. Rich had no idea if Martin could act worth a shit, but he had the all American looks. Martin was handsome, in good shape, blonde haired, blue eyed...He was exactly the type of man directors had told Rich they looked for.<br/><br/>Thank God Martin could act. Martin Hayes had been his ticket to the big leagues. Instead, of calling directors to get his actors cast on their movies, directors called him. Begging to have<span style="font-weight: bold">the</span>Martin Hayes in one of their pictures. Rich had made it and he was not going to lose it.<br/><br/>It didn't take Rich long to realize he could make more money with package deals. If a director wanted Martin to star as their male lead, Rich demanded that they cast one of his actresses as Martin's lead female co-star. Of course, the females had to beautiful. And they had to be able to act, but they could never out act Martin. No one could out shine his golden boy on camera. The women could never be taller then him and they had to be slim built. They had to look like they belonged on the arm of the man who was becoming high in demand in Hollywood. Because of that requirement, Rich tended to go through a lot of female actresses and was constantly having his workers put new want ads out.<br/><br/>Rich was making a list of things he needed Diane Simcox, one of his secretaries to buy. Actually, Diane was more of a personal assistant. She needed money, her father had some issues, so she was always willing to take on extra work for him. Stuff he didn't trust others, including the woman who came to the door, to take care of. Rich had some things in his personal life he wanted to keep very personal and Diane understood that. For some extra pay, she was willing to keep his secrets.<br/><br/>Rich set his pen down and listened to what his secretary had to say. The latest ad had brought a lot of would be actresses to him. Especially since it seemed like everyone wanted to be in a movie with Martin Hayes. Stupid Mary, too arrogant for his taste. She didn't seem to understand that her job was to make Martin look good. Bitch thought she could use him and Martin to further her own career. No way in hell that was going to happen. He had made quite a few phone calls when he finally had enough of her back talking. He made sure she'd be blacklisted with a lot of reputable directors and agents.<br/><br/>It was good that this new girl fit Mary's costumes, then they wouldn't have to pay a seamstress a lot to alter them. When the word 'hungry' came up, Rich grinned. Hungry girls were always the best ones. Especially when they were so desperate for their first break. They would do anything he wanted. Which is what Rich liked. He liked being in total control.<br/><br/>"Send her in."<br/><br/>He replied, setting Diane's list off to the side.
