"Dude, what kind of mess have you gotten yourself into? I'm telling you, you can't just go messing around with God Snow. You went and ditched Mr. York all on your own, but you gotta think about whether you can actually kick him to the curb. He's our boss, girl. He's still got your contract."
"I'm not stupid," she said, as she had assured Tyrone that it was just about clearing up some things, keeping it casual, no strings attached.
Violet nudged her again, "Not stupid? If you were smart, you would've stayed the whole night, sealed the deal, and bagged that paycheck in one go."
Quintessa just laughed, asking, "So, what's up?"
"Oh, right, almost forgot the main reason I came by. After Roxanne Ferber got blacklisted, 'Shadows of the Past' needed a new leading lady. Director Frost wants you to come in for some reshoots, and he said he's planning on giving your character a few more episodes."
Quintessa nodded, "Sounds good. I'm almost done with my scenes here anyway. I can swing by Zion City, and it won't delay the wrap-up of 'Requiem.'"
"You sure you're not worried about Mr. York coming after you for ditching him?"
Quintessa shook her head, "Not sure."
Violet let out a moan, "My money!"
Quintessa patted her solid shoulder, "I won't be making it back for you, but I'll take you along for the ride, we'll show those jerks."
"Deal!"
"You're not gonna spill about God Snow to Tyrone, right?"
Violet shook her head, "Of course not. The boss is too busy to care about my gossip."
But no sooner had she said that, Violet was dialing James' number.
Over at Snow's, just after he hung up, his agent, with his fingers twisted in frustration, stomped around. "Are you out of your mind? Messing with that siren? What if Mr. York finds it out and decides to retaliate?"
