Tatum had her interview at 3 PM and she gets back to the dorm at 5 PM, just in time for dinner, and to break the news to her roommate Lilah. Although, she cannot disclose who she is working for. She cannot mention the actresses or the actual name of the HAA. Rick gave her a story to tell Lilah and anyone who is asking that isn't cleared to know.

"How did your interview go?" Lilah asks in the dining hall. She and Tatum carry plates around the hall, gathering their meals.

"It went really well! I have a job now!" Tatum exclaims excitedly.

"That's great! When do you start?" she asks. The brunette takes a deep breath, preparing herself for this next part of the conversation.

"About that... I have something to tell you, let's sit down first," the brown-haired girl explains. Once they have their plates, they sit down in a booth.

"So, are you going to tell me?" Lilah asks. Tatum nods and finishes chewing her food before explaining.

"So, my job requires me to be with my boss like... a lot, so they are transferring me to a different school..."

Lilah's eyes widen, "A different school? I thought this job is in LA?"

"It's in Hollywood technically," Tatum explains, "I'm transferring to the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood. Please don't be mad at me..."

"Mad at you? I'm not mad at you," she exclaims, "That's amazing Tatum! The Academy is one of the best acting schools! If anything, I'm jealous. But so happy for you!"

Tatum's heart rate goes down knowing that her roommate isn't mad at her for leaving.

"So, who's your boss?" Lilah asks.

"I can't tell you... I signed an NDA already," Tatum explains.

"Holy shit," the blonde comments, "Must be important if you had to sign an NDA. Can we still be friends though?"

"Of course! They didn't say anything about not having friends," Tatum smiles, "I will be leaving soon though, which is kind of sad, but I need the money."

Lilah shrugs, "You gotta do what you gotta do. Plus it's not like I can't come visit you or anything. As long as you're not working, right?"

Tatum nods, "Yeah, that should be fine."

"Cool. I can help you pack up and move if you want," she offers.

"That would be amazing!" the brunette nods. They continue to eat their dinner and go back to the dorms after. Tatum and Lilah begin to pack up Tatum's things while Sadie, Jenna, Emma, and Mikey prepare the room she will move into.

"She's adorable," Mikey comments.

The four girls live in a three-story house. There are three bedrooms on the top floor and two in the basement. The main floor is where the kitchen, living, and dining room are. Sadie and Emma have rooms on the top floor. Jenna and Mikey have rooms in the basement. The basement also has another living room where they have a projector for watching TV shows and movies. Tatum will take the third bedroom on the top floor. Each room has its own bathroom as well as another bathroom on the main floor.

"She is," Jenna agrees, "I hope she will be happy here."

"I think she will be," Emma says, "We are paying for her schooling. Let's just hope our plan works out."

"If it doesn't," Sadie sighs, "Then we leave her be and she can continue to work for us anyway."

"I know, I know," Emma replies, "I just meant, I hope she likes us."

Sadie and Mikey work on making the bed while Jenna and Emma move the rest of the furniture in. She will have a desk to work at, a dresser of course, a bookshelf, two nightstands, a TV, and a little couch for now. If she wants more, she can buy more.

The four girls decided to live together after working on a movie together for Netflix that never got released. Something about marketing issues. Either way, the movie bonded the four girls together in ways they could never imagine. So, Sadie's agent, Rick, helped her buy a house and she invited the girls to live with her. They all agreed and here they are now. Although their lives are busy and they are constantly going to meetings, conferences, photoshoots, etc., they need an assistant to help them with it all.

After finishing Tatum's room, the girls all go off and do their own thing. Jenna and Emma hang out in Jenna's room downstairs, while Sadie cooks dinner for her and Mikey. It isn't an uncommon occurrence for two girls to disappear for a while... and sometimes they hang out together.
