up the envelope from her doorman, walked to the car, settled in the backseat, and pulled out the script, but before she could go over the lines again, her cell phone rang. “Hello?”
    â€œHey, Girl, what’s up?” It was Lexi.
    â€œI’m on my way to an audition, what are you up to?”
    â€œI was calling to see if you wanted to grab lunch, and then go over to Barneys. My personal shopper called and said that the new Marc Jacobs bag is in, and I wanted to pick one up before they sell out.” Lexington’s life consisted of sleeping, shopping, partying, eating, and dating, not necessarily in that order. Her only ambition in life was to spend her parents’ hard-earned money, and once she got married—in the very far future—she would then spend her husband’s hard-earned money.
    â€œI’d love to zip over to Barneys, but after the audition, I’m meeting Sage for dinner and then we’re going to see Madonna at the Paramount.”
    â€œI tried to get tickets for that concert, but it was sold out. Sage must have ordered those tickets months ago.” Lexi had every single one of Madonna’s records and books. She loved everything about “The Material Girl,” from her “I don’t give a fuck” attitude to her choice of husbands. Lexi had the biggest crush on Guy Ritchie and Sean Penn.
    â€œSage didn’t buy the tickets. I did,” Terra told her.
    â€œWhy’d you do that? I thought he was so in love with you. Why isn’t he wining and dining you like before? What happened?” Lexi asked, full of questions.
    â€œNothing happened. The tickets are just a lure to get him out. I told you I plan to charm my way right into his bed. I’m sick of going on these auditions, and Sage’s new studio will be my salvation.”
    â€œWhen you’re standing center stage at the Kodak Center accepting your Academy Award, don’t forget to thank your girl for all the years of love and support,” Lexi said, selfishly thinking about herself as always.
    â€œWho’s my girl?” Terra asked, teasing her.
    â€œDon’t be funny. I expect to be by your side at every red carpet event you attend. You know how I love the paparazzi!” she said with a smile in her voice.
    â€œLexi, I swear I’ve never seen anyone who loved being photographed more than you. I think you should hire a private coach and study acting, so you can attend the industry events on your own merit,” Terra suggested.
    â€œGirl, I’m not trying to work. I just want the glory without the guts. I’ll leave pounding the pavement and going to auditions to you,” she said cavalierly.
    â€œOh, I forgot that I was talking to Ms. Lazybones.” Ever since they were kids, Lexington wasn’t interested in anything but playing dress up and going to tea parties. Now that they were grown, the only thing that had changed was that the tea parties were at the Four Seasons, and she dressed in her own couture outfits instead of her mother’s.
    â€œI’m not lazy. I just prefer to spend my time having fun. Life’s too short not to enjoy every single second,” she said without shame.
    â€œLife is short. That’s why I’m taking the elevator straight to the top and skipping all of those unnecessary stops in between,” Terra said.
    â€œI heard that. Well, have fun tonight and let’s get together before the week is over.”
    â€œOkay, talk to you later,” Terra said, and flipped her phone shut.
    The car was pulling up in front of the audition site on Forty-fourth and Broadway by the time Terra had finished her conversation with Lexington. She didn’t have time to go over the lines again, so she stuffed the script back into her tote and climbed out of the car.
    â€œLeroy, I don’t know how long I’m going to be. This might take five minutes or five hours. You just never know with
