Randy winced, rubbing his head. “Erica, could you not hitevery t| say something?”
Chace stepped forward and addressed Debra. “Ms. Frazier, we're returning to Booton to take care of the Odom
Group. We're here to say goodbye.”
Debra nodded. “Okay. Seamar City has been chaotic lately. You might be better off staying away for now
Oscar hesitated. “Michael wantedto pass on a message. The entertainment industry has seen an influx of
fresh talent recently. They're all incredibly skilled-too polished to have cout of nowhere. Someone's been

Erica glared at him. “Will you shut it already? Why do you always have to say the worst possible thing?”
Randy raised his hands in surrender. “I was just worried about her. If something happened to her, what would
Marion do?”
“Even so, you can't just talk about people’s brains like that. Seriously, | can’t expect anything smart to cout
of a fool’s mouth,” Erica sulked.
Randy retorted, “Con. Don’t act like anyone's spitting out wisdom here. No one’s that sharp.”
