Chapter 14

Kayla

I was nervous, but ready. I wish I could have blamed it on being anxious about the business possibilities that could unfold with a successful photo shoot, but honestly, I was only thinking about seeing Justin again.

Sleep had evaded me the night before, but I was hoping it wouldn’t show on my face. It was no secret that Leila was incredibly disappointed by our earlier photography attempts, and I didn’t want to give her more reason to be worried. I had intended to get a full night’s sleep, but my mind was fixed on Justin and the night we had shared.

It was peculiar, because less than two days ago, I had no interest, drive or desire to have Leila take my pictures. I was also lukewarm to the idea of selling K-Plus for such a comparatively small amount. Maybe it was the releasing of tension through amazing sex, but I was feeling a new sense of acceptance. I was ready to show Vicki Verelli that I was ready and excited about my ideas and ambitions.

I took a cab to their building. I wasn’t expecting it, but I was hoping that maybe Justin would be outside the building and could take me in.

Instead, it was Leila waiting for me by the entrance doors. She was wearing a tight blouse and short skirt. Even for a modeling agency, it seemed a bit over the top. She seemed happy to see me, but slightly snooty regarding the outfit I was wearing, which was a loose orange shirt and khaki shorts. I knew I wouldn’t be modeling in the clothes on the outside, so I didn’t spend much time stressing about my outfit.

“Welcome back, Kayla!” said Leila. She reached out and gave me a quick, awkward hug, patting me as if she was afraid I might break. “I’m so happy to see you! How has the hotel been treating you?”

“It’s been wonderful, thanks,” I replied.

“I knew you’d love it,” she said. “Shall we head in?”

We walked and talked all the way into the elevator. I received an inordinate amount of stares from people in the lobby. I typically got dirty looks, but these stares seemed almost robotic and lifeless. I wondered if maybe their looks were a peculiar reaction to Leila’s presence, but it was hard to tell through the machine-like gazes.

“So, I won’t labor on the point,” began Leila. “But, from what I’ve been told, you and Justin touched base two nights ago?”

My heart stopped. Initially, I thought she knew that we had slept together. I tried to silence my anxieties and realize that it was likely the simpler explanation:

“He said you were offering more money to sell K-Plus.”

“Did he give you the number?” she asked.

“He said it wasn’t enough,” I said.

“And you trusted him? Darling, you don’t even know the number?”

“He said it was still under six digits,” I answered.

“Hmm,” she went. “Technically not untrue.”

The elevator moved up a floor, and just like that we were in the Vicki Verelli Studio-LA.
