What was the point of this interview now? It seemed utterly pointless since she wouldn't get the job anyway.
Rage and frustration surged within her, compelling her to confront Eric directly.
As she exited the building, Hadley dialed his number.
The phone just kept ringing-no answer.

"Your job?" Eric looked puzzled, almost offended. "You refer to those er gigs as your job? Hadley, you're ruining your career-and yourself-dancing in those clubs!" "I'd rather take that risk!” Hadley countered, her voice trembling with fury.
Tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
