Gloria would certainly have wished Amy well. In fact, when her friend told her later about the meeting, Gloria would be very excited for her. Gloria might have been able to find her own way in Hollywood, but she did appreciate Amy's help. It always helped to have a friend in life. Amy could also help her avoid some of the pitfalls in this place. Or the people who took advantage of the young and very naive people who came here chasing a dream. Gloria wanted to make it big, but she also wanted to keep her small town values too.<br/><br/>Gloria smiled at Amy.<br/><br/>"That sounds like a great idea."<br/><br/>She liked to cook with her mother, she just didn't think she was as good as of a cook as her mother. But she thought she and Amy could have fun cooking in a real kitchen some time.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/>Rich hoped that waiting for him, made Amy more anxious and more agreeable to the terms of the contract. He didn't care for it when people questioned what was written or tried to negotiate with him. The only one who could negotiate was Martin Hayes, his star client. Rich would give Martin the moon if he could. All the others, though, they were just ants who'd be crush if they ever crossed him.<br/><br/>Rich shook Amy's hand and offered her a seat. He waved Diane off with annoyed look when she smirked again as he retook his own seat. He wasn't sure what the hell her problem was today. He watched Amy's face carefully when she looked over the contract. For someone starting out, it was a very reasonable contract with a very nice pay. No one could expect to come off the street with little actually acting experience and get to be Martin Hayes' co-start in their first movie. Although, even the female leads, weren't paid as much as Martin was. Hollywood always paid actresses less then their male co-stars.<br/><br/>Rich smiled at Amy's reaction to the pay.<br/><br/>"I'm very sure, Amy. Is it all right if I call you Amy? Once you get more experience, it'll go up too."<br/><br/>He asked her, using her first name would get them on a more personal level. Although he'd be pissed if she ever called him Rich. Only Martin was allowed to do that.
