CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

James was less than sympathetic.

“Dude, she’s always had this prima donna attitude. You’ve known that since high school. Your girlfriend is someone who thinks she should be a little higher up on the ladder than she is.”

“What?” I knew what he was saying, but I wanted clarification.

“She believes she’s better than we are.”

Emily sleeps with me. I have no great job, no real future, and yet she lets me invade her space.

“That’s not true, James.”

“It is. You may choose not to believe it, but in one of your sane moments, you will realize your better half really believes she is your better half. Actually, she may be, but amigo, she is all about herself. Trust me on this, Skip.”

“She is with me, James. How does that play if she thinks she’s better than we are? How?”

I didn’t want to hear it.

“Come on, man, secretly I like Em, but, Skip, she is so stuck on herself. Deep down you know that.”

And I realized he was right. She’d always known she was destined for bigger and better things. I could tell from her demure demeanor, her smugness, her holier-than-thou attitude. But she hung out with me. She’d stuck with me for six years. So what did that say about the lady?

Now, Em was going for a career. A glamorous career that few people dream of. And here I was still stuck in a dead-end job. Selling security systems in Carol City, Florida, and working part time as a P.I.

I’d dropped the budding actress off at a coffee shop about two blocks from the studio, and I drove the rental back to Londell’s office. Sue Waronker, the leggy brunette, was at her desk.
