looked at her in shock but Liz was smiling. “Way to go Alice, put that asshole in his place.” Liz high fived her as she sat down while Jess tried to hide her face.
“Omg, we are so ruined in LA now.” Jess whined. Alice didn’t bother telling her that she was sure her job as a nanny was safe.
“Leave her alone Jess. He’s a privileged asshole who has made millions for looking good. He deserved to be put in his place.” Liz spoke up; glad that she finally had a friend that hated Hollywood stars as much as she did.
Alice attempted to regulate her breathing. She could not believe that she had just told off Oliver Park, the man of her dreams. She had seen every single one of his movies 3 times and had dreamt of the day that she would get to meet him for years. She had never thought it would go like this. She snuck a look at his table to see if anyone was still looking at her and her breath caught. Oliver was staring at her with a smirk on his face. She tried to break his gaze again but she couldn’t. He raised his eyebrow at her and mouthed something that she couldn’t understand. She finally turned her gaze away from him not wanting to let him think she was still into him. It took everything she had to not look back at his table.
She felt a felling of disappointment when she saw Oliver and his entourage get up and walk out of the diner. She had hoped he would stop by the table and apologize to her.
Chapter 2
Alice brushed her brown hair until it was shining like silk. She applied some mascara and looked in front of the mirror. Not too shabby, she thought to herself. She looked smart without looking like a lawyer. She had an interview to be a writer’s assistant in Hollywood and she was praying to get the job. She had graduated from her MFA program 2 years ago and so far her career had gone no-where. She hadn’t sold a script; she hadn’t even gotten a break as a gofer in a studio. She had been a nanny since she moved to LA and she really wanted a change. She was happy to have met Jess and Liz through her job but being a nanny was not her life’s goal. She had been so excited when the temp agency had told her that a top Hollywood writer was looking for an assistant and that she was one of 3 candidates that he was going to interview.
She had a 1 in 3 chance of getting this position and she was going all out. She had wondered after the weekend if this was really the career she wanted but she was not going to let an ass like Oliver Park change her career goals.
“How do I look?” She twirled around in front of Liz.
“You look gorgeous Alice.” Liz grinned at her. Even though she hated everything that Hollywood stood for, she was still rooting for her friend to get this job.
“Not too slutty?” Alice asked. She was wearing a short black skirt and a crisp white top. She would never have worn this outfit to any interview out of LA but both Jess and the temp agency had told her that sex appeal was important. That in LA, talent wasn’t everything. Looks played a huge huge role.
“A little slutty but not too much.” Liz laughed as Alice groaned.
“I just don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea. I’m not going to do any and everything to get this job.” Alice spoke earnestly.
“So, no casting couch for you?” Liz questioned.
“No.” Alice was adamant. There was no way she was going to sleep with some gross old man to get a foot in the door.
“Well good luck.” Liz hugged her before she walked out of the door. Alice walked down and got into her old Toyota Corolla. She sang along to ‘The Cure” as she drove to Beverly Hills for her interview. She didn’t know who the important writer was going to be but she hoped it was going to be someone who wanted to utilize her skills and would value her writing. She didn’t want to be used as the coffee and lunch girl as many assistants were. The only reason she had hope was because the
