Thirty-Eight

LAUREN

“So yeah,” I said, licking a smooth barrier of vanilla around the base of my ice cream cone. “I’m pretty sure that guy isn’t doing you any favors.”

I’d expected some upper-echelon agent’s office, somewhere in downtown LA. Maybe in a skyscraper. Or at least a building with a receptionist, or a doorman.

Instead, Mason had led us to a low-slung building in a not-so-fantastic part of town. The man’s office was messy, disorganized. And even though he wasn’t expecting us, he didn’t seem to recognize who Mason was, at least not right away.

“I always thought Brian knew what he was doing,” the tallest of my three boyfriends shrugged. “He talked a good game. And he did get me The Covenant.”

“Probably dumb luck,” I replied. “You know the sun even shines on a dog’s ass some days.”

“The what?”

“Forget it,” I chuckled, trying to remember where I’d heard the saying.

The ‘city’ portion of Los Angeles was a lot smaller than I thought it would be; a small collection of taller buildings, clustered together in the middle of a flat landscape. By comparison, it looked nothing like New York City. In those terms, Manhattan totally blew it away.

“And did you see his desk?” asked Corey. “It was a total train wreck!”

“I just figured it was because he was so busy,” said Mason. “So in demand.” We walked another half block, while he swung his head back and forth. “God, I’m so stupid!”

“You’re far from stupid,” Brody told him. “He was your first agent. Your only agent.”

“And in this town?” Corey added, gesturing around. “How the hell do you tell good from bad?”

We were on Hollywood Boulevard, walking over the stars. It was only about eight miles from downtown LA, which translated to over an hour, with traffic. As a New Yorker I thought I knew all about traffic. But I was wrong. Dead wrong.

“The good news is we can get you out of your contract,” I said, licking the drips from my cone again. “He was too lazy to lock you in, so there’s nothing stopping you from seeking representation elsewhere.”

“And the bad news?”

I shrugged. “There really isn’t any, other than you’re an out-of-work actor looking for a new agent. That said, you’re a pretty damned good actor who was the lead of a very decent series.”

“A series that got canceled,” Mason groaned.

“Hey,” I said, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk. I turned and put one hand on his amazing chest. “Was that your fault?”

He stood there and thought about it for a moment. “No. Actually, the reviews on my performance were favorable.”

“Then you should be pretty desirable, right?”

Mason’s frown faded. A grin began spreading instead. “You think so?”

“I know so,” I said, glancing down at my phone as another text came through. “From here on out, your pity party’s over. Take down the streamers and follow me.”

We walked on another two blocks until I finally saw the restaurant. As I led the guys inside, they collectively laughed.

“Juicy Burger?” asked Corey. “You’re taking us to a place called Juicy Burger?”

I ignored him and scanned the crowd.
