"It’s better than living with those five crazy roommates," Shane said.

"And it’s closer to my job at the studio and at the ‘Planet,’" Carmen said. "Plus it’s a huge house!"

"Good thing Tim paid off the house," Jenny said, "all we have to pay is utilities and food."

"Tim paid it all off?" Shane said cocking an eyebrow, "cause I heard there was about $5,000 left and a certain English heiress paid it off."

"She’s a friend," Jenny said, "plus I’m paying her back by working as a creative writer in that magazine company she opened up."

"Oh yeah, I heard she’s buying off the movie studio I work at," Carmen said.

"She’s just buying everything isn’t she?" Shane laughed.

"Well actually Shane, she told me to talk to you," Jenny said, "she said she’s opening a hair salon for the high society people like herself and she wants you to run it."

Shane’s jaw dropped, "me?"

"Hell yeah baby, you are amazing at what you do," Carmen encouraged.

"Wow, I would love to," Shane said.

Jenny grinned. "Great, I gotta meet up with her now, I’ll let her know to set up a meeting with you."

"Thank you Jenny," Shane said.

"Don’t thank me, thank Helena," Jenny said.

"You know Jen," Carmen said, "working with all these rich artists and producers I know for a fact that when they spend a lot of money on someone and take them out to expensive places, they’re either trying to start a relationship or in love."

Jenny considered her words for a moment then looked at Shane.

"I agree with her," Shane said, "and I see the way you look at her, you really really like her."

Jenny blushed and said, "well she’s really…fucking gorgeous, and sweet, and funny, and…"

"Just go to her Jenny," Carmen said, "cause I have a feeling she feels the same."

"So this magazine is like a combo of Time and Reader’s Digest?" Alice asked looking at Helena.

"And People," Helena said. "We’ll have serious news, gossip, and creative writing stories."

"So people will try to publish poems and stories?" Dana said.

"Yes, Jenny has that department under control," Helena said, "and I have several serious reporters getting into politics and the economy. So now I need the gossip master herself to get me the juicy details."
