Roxie sits in a cheap bar and smokes a cigarette. She chews thoughtfully on her lip, not minding that her lipstick smears. Who would care anyway? Nobody wants to give her a job, no one likes her music.
“Well, all alone?” a voice suddenly chimes in, and when she turns her head to the right she sees Velma Kelly, sitting down next to her.
“Urgh … what do you want,” she spits and empties her glass.
“For the start … you got fire?” the black haired woman asks and holds up a cigarette.
“Too bad,” Roxie answers with a fake smile. “Go away and find someone else to bug.”
Velma is not impressed, she just reaches out and takes Roxie’s lighter anyway. “You seem to be in a bad mood. How’s life going? Got a show to do?”
The blonde gives her a nasty look.
“Just asking, honey. To be honest, my career could also need a little push,” Velma admits which makes Roxie raise an eyebrow.
“Really?”
“Yes. That’s what brings me here,” the woman reveals and looks meaningful at Roxie.
After a little pause the blonde turns toward her. “Got a suggestion how to … ‘push’ it a little?”
That is what Velma wanted to hear. She leans in intimately and smiles. “Well, in fact I do. I’d say we leave this shabby location and go to my place … listening to a little light jazz … for the start.”
Roxie returns the smile and gets up.
