Chapter 9

A Third Party Reveal

I make it to the trailer at 7:45 a.m. the next morning. I slept like a baby after getting in last night. I had to fly into LAX and then take a car to Santa Monica Airport to pick up my own car. Friday night traffic was bad, but I made it home safe and sound. I called Angelina, but after five rings her phone went to voicemail. I left a message, asking her to call me as soon as she gets it. I miss her and her body. My dick is still raw from making love to her. I like her. I want her to be my girlfriend.

“Hello, Charlie,” Pearl mumbles as soon as she stomps in. Her frown makes her look more humdrum than usual.

“Hi, Pearl. Sorry about what happened. I’ll fix it.”

She glares at her bare desk. It used to be covered with neatly stacked papers, and there was a framed photo of her husband, two kids, and herself.

“She is an out-of-control bitch,” she says. I assume she’s referring to Monroe.

“What happened? Why did she fire you?”

“She called me your lackey and ordered the guards to escort me off the lot. It was fucking embarrassing. I know those guys. She must’ve fucked them too. I’m tired of those skinny bitches using their cooch to get ahead. The only reason they let me on the lot today is because I convinced them that I was here to see you. Plus, they felt like shit for treating me like a criminal.” She opens a drawer of her desk. She snorts, snatches out the photo of her family, and sets it back on top of her desk. She slams the drawer. “Bitch.”

Saturday morning has barely started, and she’s already exhausted me by being overly emotional about shit we’re going to fix. I really want to surrender and let Monroe run the entire production as she sees fit, but she’s been behaving like a four-foot-tall dictator from the start.

“Did she change the script again?” I ask, feeling obligated to get over my trepidation and stick with it.

“No, she didn’t, thank goodness. But she threw a tantrum when I told her she couldn’t hire Donald Light.”

“Who’s that?”

“He’s a director.”

“What happened to Shane? Did he quit?”

“Unfortunately he’s still with us, and they’re still involved. She wanted Donald to come on as an assistant director.”

“Assistant director is a step down isn’t it? He accepted that?”

“Yes, he did.”

I grimace. What the hell is Monroe trying to pull? Is she boning him too?

“But he’s not cheap,” Pearl says.

“How much is he setting us back?”

“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”

“Shit!”

The door flings open. “What are you doing here?” Monroe says as she stomps into the room. “Both of you.”

I stand up so that we can fight on an even battlefield. “You fired Pearl?”

Monroe grits her teeth. “And she’s still fired.” She tugs her sweater off and tosses it on top of Pearl’s family photo.

Pearl glares at me, fuming.

I scratch the back of my neck.
