S gets to say her lines twice

Serena worried that she should have dressed up like the other girls. Would the director think she wasn’t trying hard enough because she hadn’t worn pearls and a black cocktail dress? Plus, she was blond and big-boned and tall and didn’t look a thing like Audrey Hepburn. In fact, now that she thought about it, she really shouldn’t have been trying out for the part at all.

Too late.

“Oh, thank God,” Ken Mogul exclaimed when he saw her. “Go ahead. Action.”

Serena hadn’t bothered to Google Ken Mogul, and she didn’t know anything about his directing style, but she knew what the word action meant, and the minute she heard it, she started to do her thing.

“How do you do?” she chirped brightly, holding her hand out to an imaginary bartender. She took a seat and then spun once around on the bar stool, giggling and kicking her feet with girlish satisfaction. “Don’t you just love it here? Isn’t it wonderful waking up and knowing this place is right here, every day? It’s my absolute paradise!”

Ken Mogul did that weird peekaboo thing with his hands again. He glanced at one of his Swedish-looking blond crew girls, ripped off the pair of mirrored aviator shades she had propped on her head, and tossed them to Serena.

“Do it again with these on,” he ordered.

Serena did as she was told, wondering if it was a good thing or a bad thing that Ken Mogul closed his eyes when she started to talk.

“Next!” he shouted, dismissing her.

Nate was standing by the elevators, a damp tissue wadded in his fist. “My mom brought me here to buy my first real suit,” he told Serena, his lower lip trembling. “Afterwards we got ice cream and she took me to the zoo in the park. It smelled like peanuts.”

“Aw.” Serena hugged him and kissed his ear. “Listen, I think I know of a way to cheer you up.” After the Viagra incident in Bergdorf’s on Tuesday, Serena thought Nate was basically up for it any time, anywhere. She nodded toward the ladies’ lounge.

Nate hesitated. He’d smoked a tiny joint when he woke up, and he’d left the Viagra at home. Besides, all this crying was so exhausting. He really wasn’t in the mood.

The ladies’ lounge door swung open, and Blair and that sandy-haired hunk of hers came out, holding hands. “How do you do?” Blair gestured with her empty cigarette holder in an exaggerated imitation of the part both girls had just played. She giggled. “You guys want to go get a drink?”

“Definitely,” Serena gushed eagerly.

Of course, it was only ten-thirty on a Saturday morning, but the future Audreys of the world clearly know how to enjoy themselves.

Lord Marcus pressed the button for the elevator and the doors rolled open.

“Wait!” one of Ken Mogul’s black-tunic-wearing, blond crew girls yelled. Blair’s heart skipped a beat. Surely they were going to offer her the part right now and send the other girls packing. But the girl was looking at Serena.
