‘The life of a superstar agent, eh?’ said Alistair.
I nodded, taking another furtive look around. Chad was now schmoozing with some guy in a suit. I didn’t trust him anymore, I realised. I wasn’t convinced he wanted the best for me and, honestly, I didn’t know why he hadn’t dumped me by now.

‘It’s definitely something I’m thinking about,’ I said, lowering my voice. Just saying it out loud made me feel more powerful than I had in years. My future didn’t have to hinge on Chad and whether or not he deemed me important enough to find work for. Alistair was here and he thought I was good enough. I still had it. I was talented and I hadn’t been deluding myself all these years.
Alistair surreptitiously gave me his card and I said I’d drop him a line.
