Chapter Nine

The next morning, Cal had only taken a few steps into the building the production had rented out for rehearsals when Byron Smith stopped him. “Don’t go in there, man.” His friend leaned up against the wall outside of the room where they’d been running through scripts. “Trust me,” he said when Cal moved to go past him.

“What’s going on?”

“Listen.”

Cal did. The walls weren’t thick and he could hear the familiar raised voice of Bridget, but couldn’t quite make out what she was saying.

“Bridget,” Cal said. “Who else is in there with her? And what’s the big deal? What’s going on?” Cal grabbed a stool and dragged it over to where Byron stood.

“Shit has hit the fan, my man. I’ve been standing out here for about twenty minutes, and it’s only getting worse.”

Cal shook his head. “What’s getting worse?” Bridget was clearly pissed off about something, but that didn’t surprise Cal. Bridget had a reputation on the set of Beach Bodies for being a bit of a diva. If the coffee was too dark, or too light, she pitched a fit. No doubt it was something equally stupid.

“I don’t know all the details.” Byron leaned in. Not like they’d be overheard by anyone because whoever was already inside the room was obviously preoccupied. “But from the little I can make out, I think Bridget might be getting fired.”

Cal almost fell off his stool. She’s been brought in from Australia, for God’s sake—they hadn’t even begun filming yet, and they were going to let her go? It didn’t seem possible. But it did seem pretty awesome. He couldn’t help it. There was no way he could hide the smile that crept over his face. “Why do you think that?” He tried to keep his voice neutral. He didn’t want Byron thinking he might possibly be excited about Bridget being off the show, although it wouldn’t take much to figure it out. “Did somebody say something?”

“Yes.” Byron laughed. “I mean, I didn’t hear who said what. But I certainly heard Bridget’s reaction. It went something like, ‘what the hell do you mean I’m off the show?’”

He tried not to be excited, especially because he didn’t know whether it was true or not, but Cal couldn’t help but think about it. If Bridget was off the show, that could very well be the best thing that happened to him, since being cast himself. The thought of not seeing Bridget every day, let alone having to work with her and pretend to be in love with her—even if it was just acting—made him unreasonably happy. “Really?”

Byron looked at him with his mouth open. “Is that really all you have to say? I totally expected to you be more excited. After all, your girlfriend can’t be all that happy that Bridget’s around. I know I’m not the only one who saw the article.”

No, Byron definitely wasn’t the only one who’d seen the article. He knew Milena must’ve seen it, even though she hadn’t said anything to him.
