The Mix-Up (Part 6 of 6) (2)

First, my name is not Erica. It isn't amusing to keep calling me by my character's name off camera. And secondly, what is your issue?

Be nice to him, Sally. It's not his fault you got into his taxi and not the prop one.

You mean he isn't the actor you hired to be the driver in the movie?

No, but I'm going to offer him a job here.

A job, sir?

Your driving skills really made an impression on me. We need another stunt driver. Would you be interested in working for our company?

You're offering me a job as a driver? Really? Uh... I would love to. I need to talk to my wife first, though.

No problem. Take your time.

Leo walked away to an area where no one could overhear what he was saying. Pulling out his cellphone, he called his wife and explained the situation to her. She was excited. He had been so tired of his job for so long, and this sounded perfect. He could take all the skills he had and use them in a fresh way. Leo grinned. He couldn't think of anything that could possibly be better.
