last night’s event but none of that mattered because Darcy needed me to start working on our next big project. Darcy would always say that in her line of work all the days just ran together. There was no separation between the weekday and the weekends. Plus I was looking forward to going to work, because Darcy had already said my commission check was there waiting for me to pick it up and boy did I need that money. Living in New York City was kicking my ass. At first I was living in Queens but the hours I kept at work was making it painfully difficult to do the commute. When I spoke to Darcy about changing my hours she suggested I get out of Queens and move to the city. So I was now living in an apartment the size of a closet and the rent was basically eating up my entire paycheck. But this commission would have me sitting pretty for a minute. It also motivated me to go out and secure other deals for Darcy to keep the money rolling in.
As I was getting off the train and heading towards my job I heard my cell ringing and saw Diamond’s name on the screen. “Hey, what’s up, did you have a good time at the event last night?”
“I sure did! And I met me a cutie which made it even better.”
“Of course you did. I wouldn’t expect anything less,” I said laughing. And I wouldn’t. Diamond was a guy magnet. She revamped her entire look a year after having her baby and it was working wonders for her. Before she was a cute, sweet looking girl, now she had that whole sex kitten thing going but still classy not trashy.
“I wish you could’ve hung out with us.”
“Me too but I had to work my ass off for this event. Because I brought the contact to Darcy I got a commission so I had to make sure everything went perfect.”
“Well you did a great job because that was one of the best if not best events I had ever been to. You should pat yourself on the back.”
“Girl stop…but I did do my thing though,” we both laughed.
“But listen, I wanted to speak to you about something else.”
“What’s up?”
“Remember the girl I was with last night. The one you switched my seat around for so I could sit next to her.”
“Oh yeah, she’s dating that big entertainment lawyer.”
“Exactly.”
“What about her?”
“Well, we just finished having lunch and she said she really wants to break into the business.”
“What does she do?”
“She’s an actress and before you ask, no she hasn’t had any major roles but she is extremely talented.”
“So what do you want me to do?”
“She just needs some great exposure to create some buzz and get her noticed. Darcy is a huge publicist she could get her that exposure.”
“Honestly, Darcy doesn’t take on people who aren’t known and if she does she charges them like five to ten thousand a month. Who’s going to foot that bill?”
“I will.”
“Excuse me, what did you say?”
“If you make sure Darcy gets her the exposure she needs then I’ll pay for it.”
“Why would you do that and more importantly where would you get the money?”
“Listen, I’ve known Blair since I was a little girl. She’s had a tough life and her boyfriend isn’t exactly helping her self-esteem but you know what she really is talented. I’m not just saying that because we’re close friends it’s the truth. If I can help her make it then I will.”
“Wow, I hope she knows how lucky she is to have you do this for her. But I would recommend you make it a loan. Say she blows up which is very possible if we take her on as a client. When the checks start rolling in you should get your money back. I know Blair is your friend but this is also business.”
“That’s true but first let’s see if you can get Darcy to do it.”
“Oh, I promise you she’ll do it and I’ll make sure because when I bring on a client I get a commission.”
“Great! That works out perfectly.”
“Sure does. And trust it’ll be me doing all the work, so I’ll make sure you get
