Charles Anderson was sitting in his big, comfy leather armchair, enjoying the cup of the his butler had just brought him. Hearing the rain pour down outside made it feel so much better to be inside, by the fireplace, reading a manuscript from a young promising author. This was the part he liked best about his job - sitting in his library, taking the first peak on a new project, seeing the images appear in front of him as he read. Images that would later be on the screens of every cinema in the world.
Charles was a director, and quite a successful one, he could say without bragging. If his movies alone was not enough to prove this, the big house on Mullholland Drive was. No ordinary salary could buy you a panorama window with such an astonishing view of downtown Los Angeles. Off course he loved his job, but he loved the money and the power that came with it just as much.
Tomorrow would be his birthday, and the now so quiet house would be filled with prominent members of the entertainment industry. Even though he was about to turn 40 he was still in shape. He could thank the gym in his basement for his 6' 3'' tall body still being muscular, and the solarium for preserving his tan even in the middle of the winter. He had to admit that his black hair was starting to turn grey, but it was trimmed short. And people usually got so caught in the gaze of his intense blue eyes they didn't notice anyway.
The manuscript he was reading was inspiring - the more he read, the more assured he felt that this would be his next movie. He was completely lost in the text, he wanted nothing to disturb him now…

The car stopped on Mullholland Drive. The driver, who by some perverted meaning of the word was also her owner, looked at her. "Ok, don't screw this up. This is an important client paying for quality, and I don't want to hear any complaints about you." he said with a harsh voice, blowing out smoke from the cigarette he was smoking. "Its really simple. Always do as you are told and mind your teeth when your sucking dick, that's it. And remember to tell him that you are a birthday present from mr. Gaccione."
He opened the door, and immediately she felt the cold air to her skin. The rain was pouring down outside. "I'll pick you up on the day after tomorrow. Now get the fuck out of here." he said, giving her a push out of the car.
