and pointed to the clock.
    “Cindy, I know. I’m late, but you have to admit, I’m on time by my clock.”
    Cindy laughed and led her to Carmen’s office. “Come on in Rose and have a seat.”
    Rose sat down in the plush leather chair. She took her sunglasses off and laid them on the desk. “Hi. Sorry I am late.”
    “Lucky for you, I was on a conference call that ran over. So are you ready for your interview?”
    “Yes and no. I’m just ready to get this over with.”
    “Just be yourself. I want you to realize that the reporter will be asking some personal questions.”
    “I’m prepared. Have you heard anything else about my role in The Future Mrs. Wallingford ?”
    Carmen avoided looking Rose straight in the eye. “It’s a done deal. The powers that be, have decided to use someone else. Right now, they aren’t saying who it is; I just know it wasn’t you. I’m sorry dear.”
    “It isn’t your fault,” Rose said feeling a little disappointed. “If it were not for the article, we would be celebrating right now. I still can’t believe my sister would do something like this.”
    “Rose, don’t you think it’s time you made up with your sister?”
    “Carmen, I have bent over backwards to make amends with her. She is the one who can’t forgive or forget.”
    Carmen looked upside Rose’s head before commenting. “Do you think she could forget the fact that you are married to her husband? This is the real world, not a movie. Now I didn’t say you guys would be the best of friends, but you do need to work on having some type of relationship.”
    Rose rolled her eyes. “If she wasn’t so selfish, we wouldn’t be having this problem.”
    Carmen stared at Rose in amazement. “I must say; I’m shocked you would even say that. You need to take some responsibility in your part in all of this. If you don’t, you’ll be the one to suffer.”
    “Enough about my sister. I am not paying you to talk about her,” Rose stated.
    “Last time I checked this was a free world, where I have freedom of speech and I’m going to say what I need to say,” Carmen responded.
    Rose remained quiet.
    Carmen continued to talk. “My sister Angelica was my best friend and I would give everything I have up, if I could just spend one more minute with my sister. She was two years older than I, but she never treated me bad or made me feel inferior to her.” Tears started to flow down Carmen’s face. “Rose, you have a sister and you don’t even know how lucky you are.”
    Rose walked around the desk and gave her a hug. “Carmen, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry. Why don’t I treat you to a rocky road at the ice cream parlor down stairs?”
    “I’m okay. No rocky road for me, because I’m still trying to lose the ten pounds I gained from the holidays,” Carmen said as she wiped the tears away with a tissue.
    “Well, I’ve been craving rocky road every since I walked into this building. Besides I haven’t eaten all day. Was there anything else? If not, I’m about to go get me something to eat.”
    “Yes there is. Hold on and I’ll have Cindy go pick up something for you.” Carmen repeated to Cindy the order.
    Rose looked out the window at the Los Angeles skyline.  She was admiring the view. Even among the smog, the skyline was beautiful. At this view, she felt like she was on top of the world.  The only other time, she felt like she was on top of the world, is when she was in front of the camera. “Do you have any more scripts for me to read?”
    “Yes. I do. The Sisters in Hollywood interview was not as bad as we thought it would be. By the way, you are interviewing at the end of the week.  Would you rather her come to your place or do you want to go by their office?”
    “I would rather go by their office. I don’t like too many reporters in my house. If you would have asked me the same question a couple of months ago; it wouldn’t have mattered, but I’ve watched them say nasty things
