“That sure took a long time,” Kevin said as I walked into the office.

“Sorry.”

I tried not to make eye contact with him, even though I knew it would only make it seem even more like I was hiding something.

“Well?” he said. “What happened?”

“With what?”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Why?”

He squinted a little and looked at me sideways. “You don’t look okay. You look…different. Is something wrong?”

I’d heard of “just-fucked hair” before but was there such a thing as “just-finger-fucked hair”? Was that what he was referring to? Or maybe I was just so nervous about being found out that it showed on my face. Either way, I didn’t want him to elaborate.

“Everything’s fine, Kevin. I got the contract.” I reached into my bag to get the envelope. “And then after I left, I needed to stop somewhere and take care of something.”

He looked like he didn’t believe me.

I lowered my voice and added, “Personal stuff.” I made a kind of embarrassed looking face for effect, and it appeared as though he bought the story.

“Ah, sorry,” he said.

I shook my head. “No worries.” I handed the envelope to Kevin.

He opened it, took out the contract and quickly scanned it. “Do you have any idea what these papers mean? This is huge for me.” He looked at it again with extreme pride on his face.

“I’m so happy for you.”

He looked up from the papers. “Happy for us. You’re part of the team here. I couldn’t have done this without your help.”

It saddened me to hear that. For one thing, it was a humble thing for him to say, and that wasn’t something you came across very often in Hollywood. And secondly, while I knew it was true that I’d done a lot to help him land the role for Jacqueline, I’d also done a lot to put Kevin’s business in jeopardy.

All it would take is one rumor about Kevin using young assistants to persuade studio execs in a less than ethical manner.

I couldn’t have been happier that it was Friday and I had two full days to be away from Kevin and the office.

All I could think about for the rest of the day was when I’d see Max again. He said he’d let it be a surprise, and when I was leaving his office I thought it sounded exciting. But by the end of the workday it was just nerve-wracking.

I had plans that night to go to a club with Krystal and two of her friends I’d recently met. Maybe that would serve as a good distraction from all things Max.
