really wasn？t in the mood。
The ladies？ lounge door swung open； and Blair and that sandy…haired hunk of hers came out；
holding hands。 ？How do you do？？ Blair gestured with her empty cigarette holder in an
exaggerated imitation of the part both girls had just played。 She giggled。 ？You guys want to go get
a drink？？
？Definitely；？ Serena gushed eagerly。
Of course； it was only ten…thirty on a Saturday morning； but the future Audreys of the world
clearly know how to enjoy themselves。
Lord Marcus pressed the button for the elevator and the doors rolled open。
？Wait！？ one of Ken Mogul？s black…tunic…wearing； blond crew girls yelled。 Blair？s heart skipped
a beat。 Surely they were going to offer her the part right now and send the other girls packing。 But
the girl was looking at Serena。
？Oops！？ Serena blushed； swiping the mirrored aviators off her head and handing them
back。 ？I？m such a klepto！？
The girl took the sunglasses and then stood on tiptoe to whisper in Serena？s ear。 Blair watched；
riveted； as Serena nodded； listening silently。 Then the crew girl left to supply her sunglasses to
another Holly hopeful。
Blair bit her lip； nearly drawing blood。 The need to know what the crewperson had whispered to
Serena was killing her； but she forced herself not to ask； and Serena decided not to tell her。 The
idea that they were sort of talking to each other again was so tenuous and so new； neither of them
wanted to ruin it。
Plus； Lord Marcus had only seen Blair on her best behavior。 She couldn？t pull anExorcist and
freak out in front of him now or he？d pack his bags and head back to the U。K。 as quick as you can
say； ？Bloody hell。？
