Marjorie shook her head indignantly. "He's no right
to be talking to you like that," she said to Nola.
"You're a movie star! You're someone important! And
you're his guest! Pay him no mind, Miss Diamond.
Here ya go..." Marjorie put the refill on the
counter. "Why don't you stay with us awhile here?
I'd love to hear about your next movie!"
"Oh God," sighed Nola. "Why do dreary little people
have to keep going on and on about my movies?"
She made a grab towards her drink, but someone
intervened.
"Please Miss Higgins..." Hodges interceded, "with the
lift fixed, I'm free to return to 'active duty'." He
deftly pushed the glass out of Nola's reach and began
to move back behind the table to resume his duites as
server.
Nola glared at him. "May you rot in hell," she said
deliberately, and turned, walking away from him.
Nicola watched this exchange from across the room and
couldn't help wincing. 'Oh, Nola, let's not do that,
PLEASE. Not tonight,' she thought to herself. She
didn't dare approach Nola- with the mood the girl was
in, there was sure to be nothing short of a
hair-pulling cat fight if she confronted her.
She turned her attention back to the group she was in,
returning James Drake's smile with a warm one of her own.
