Just round the corner

The address you had been given for the audition should be just round the corner, I mean that's why you picked this hotel to stay in the night before. You grab your handbag with some bits in it before you leave and after riding the lift to the ground floor on your own you step out into the glorious LA sun. Putting on your sunglasses you walk along the quiet street until you reach the address you have been given. You had been nervous but looking at the building this looks like it should be a proper professional gig, not some sleazy trick that some girls wind up getting caught up in.

You pull open the door and walk inside. You're greeted by what looks like a standard office reception, with a pretty blonde girl sitting at the counter. She smiles at you.

"Hello, you must be.......Erica?" she asks looking down at her notes.

You pause, you weren't Erica you were, oh right stage name, that was the stage name you had gone for.

You smile "yes that's me."

"Excellent, Mr Rogers is just finishing up the previous audition if you'd like to take a seat he'll call you when he is ready."

You sit down crossing you legs as you try to shake the butterflies in your stomach, it's all feeling very real now.

A door to the side of reception opens and a brunette walks out, she looks dazed, in fact if you had seen her in the hotel you'd pick her out as doing the walk of shame.

A handsome man stepped out after her. "Thank you Lydia, we'll be in touch." She walked out and he turned to you. "You must be Erica." he said holding out a hand, "If you'd like to follow me."
