Chapter 6: I’ll Show You How

Lyka Sanders, Xena’s agent, sat on the edge of her seat, trembling with seething fury as she endured the incessant ringing tone. Impatience and eagerness gnawed at her nerves as she waited for the other person to pick up the call. Finally, when the ringing stopped and Imogen’s voice came through, Lyka snapped with immediate anger.

“Ms. Forbes, if you feel Xena isn’t worthy of your company, just say it directly. You’re not our only choice! After we’ve pushed off all other endorsements, you’re just going to replace Xena? Are you playing tricks on us? You must give Xena an explanation for this matter.”
