theL.A. Candy cameras were up there already, prepared to shoot Jane’s return to work. When Trevor had called Jane yesterday, Jane had felt compelled to pick up after ignoring him for so long. He asked her if it would be okay for them to shoot her at work the following day. After going MIA on him, what could she say but yes?
Much to her surprise, Trevor had been really sweet on the phone and didn’t sound angry at all about the Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html
Gossip thing or her disappearing to Cabo. Which was weird, since he’d sounded so stressed in his messages. He told her that he was happy she was back, and that everything was going to be fine. He said that he’d been thinking about how to present “recent events” on the show, and thought her story line should be that she had cheated on Jesse (without naming Braden, of course), and that she wasn’t sure who had spilled the news to Jesse. Maybe she could confess to someone, like her coworker and friend Hannah Stratton, that she felt really bad about the whole thing. It would be Jane’s opportunity to tell her side of the story. He promised her that after people saw her side, everything would be better. And that was that. Trevor added that he would talk to each of the girls—Madison, Gaby, Scarlett, and Hannah—to clue them in on his ideas.
Jane was relieved that Trevor was being so nice about everything. At the same time, she wasn’t sure how she felt about his interpretation of “recent events.” Trevor’s story line wasn’t exactly accurate. On the other hand, it sounded a lot more PG—and more protective of Braden’s privacy—than what had really happened.
Jane also didn’t like the idea of Trevor talking to Hannah about his ideas. Hannah wasn’t one of the main girls on the show—just someone who was lucky or unlucky (depending on your perspective) enough to have a desk across from Jane, which meant that she was almost always shot as part of the office
“scenes.” Hannah wasn’t used to dealing with Trevor and Dana. Couldn’t he leave her out of this?
Trevor had also emailed Jane some short scripts he wanted her to record later that day, at the recording studio. They were the voice-overs that Jane always narrated for the show, recapping previous episodes for each new episode. Months ago, before the series premiere, Dana had told Jane that she had been chosen for the voice-overs because she was thought to be the most relatable of the four girls. Whatever that meant.
Jane pulled out her BlackBerry, opened the email, and glanced over the lines briefly as several people got out on the fourth floor. (The elevator was moving soooo slowly today—and Jane didn’t want to be late on her first day back.) One of the lines caught her attention:Last week at the gym, Scarlett and Gaby met a couple of cute guys from Texas. Will there be a double date in their future?
What?Scar and Gaby were going to the gym together now? Scar couldn’t stand Gaby, or at least, that was what she had always claimed. Jane couldn’t picture Scar and Gaby working out together—much less going out on a double date together. Had the world turned upside down while she was in Cabo?
The elevator doors finally opened on the fifth floor, and Jane stepped out. She was disoriented for a moment when she saw that the waiting area—usually so peaceful, with its dark gold walls, soft lighting, and miniature Zen garden complete with trickling waterfall—had been overrun by the PopTV crew. A couple of guys were running around with equipment, while Dana and Matt, one of the directors, were having a conversation by the receptionist’s desk.
Dana snapped to attention when she saw Jane. “Good morning, Jane! Hope you had a great Christmas.
Not to rush you, but we gotta get a mike on you right away.”
“Not to rush you”? “Good morning”?Had someone slipped a Prozac into Dana’s morning coffee?
“Fiona’s all ready for you
