Chapter 22

"Want to go get a drink?" he asks, and I simply follow along, taking one last glance behind me, where Lin DaoShi's already deep in conversation with Eddie Brighton and his wife.

I mean, it's India Lowres, for fuck's sake. Can't believe I was in the same room as the India Lowres, close enough that I could have shaken her hand, had I been introduced. The woman is beautiful, even at forty-seven-years old. Has known how to age too, no Botox or surgery I can spot. Not that I'm some sort of expert. I turn my attention back to the young man keeping me away from DaoShi, wondering what it's all about. Eddie Brighton on the lookout for actors he can use in an upcoming project? I hope so, DaoShi could do with a break.

"What do you want to drink?"

I cock my head to the side, knowing I need to keep a cool head. "Vodka orange," I reply, and hope the orange is so sweet I take all night to down the drink.
